"So you wanna tell me what that was about?" Amon asked, watching Madison close the door gently. "Why was he here?"
"I'ma go and keep Onyx distracted, just one of you keep me in the loop alright?" Madi asked.
"Thanks, Mads." Phe gave her a closed mouth smile and looked at her boys, motioning her head so they'd know to follow her up the steps.
Once they made it to her room, Ares closed the door and spread his arms apart, "Bruh, all jokes aside, there's one simple solution."
"Which is one I already suggested." Jabari said, sighing and taking his usual spot in Phe's room, on the floor in the furthest corner by himself. He brought his knees up to his chest and rested his chin on them.
"You okay, Bari?" Phe sighed heavily and he gave her a warm smile before looking at the Alsina brothers.
"Bullet, I know we ain't cool, you wasn't cool wit' my brother back in the day but him and I? We're two different people." Jabari stated. "If you want me to get rid of the problem, tell me... you know I will." His voice softened but his eyes went dark as ever. "I love Ares and Ares loves you so I do too."
Mo looked at Jabari and then back at Phoenix, "Answer the question."
"Thank you, Bari, we love you too." Ares spoke for both him and Amon.
"So basically he came here to I guess clear up whatever people saw between him and Marissa? But then after that, he said she had a proposition for me, if we want to keep our secret from Onyx then... then you have to stop talking to me." She said.
"She wants you to herself, Amon and Prince wanna sit up here and fake like he just going along for the ride when we all know he probably on the same tip that lame ass bitch on." Reese snapped.
"I thought we knew that though." Phe plopped down on her bed and put her head in her hands, puffing up her cheeks.
"You better not cry, you suck that shit up and man the fuck up, Phoenix." Ares seethed, yanking her arms from her face but as soon as he saw her bottom lip tremble, his face softened. "Aw no, don't cry, come here." He cooed, his demeanor switching within seconds.
"How dat' work?" Amon blinked and Jabari sat in his corner, chuckling to himself. "Again, what that gotta do with him?"
"He her lil' messenger I guess." Ares mumbled, sitting next to Phoenix and wrapping his arms around her. "Baby don't want us to hurt them so I mean shit, Mo, we all outta options... I think you gotta come clean."
"No!" Phe sniffed and wiped her face. "Cus' then Ony won't be friends with him anymore and I can take Onyx being mad at me, but I won't let him be mad Amon too when I'm the one who pushed it. Amon wanted to stop, I didn't, it's my fault so we just, we just have to go along with this."
