the ride back home was quiet, lani looked to the side and saw her sister looking angrily out the window then she looked in the rear view mirror and saw how sad her brother looked. lani knew Becca words didnt affect her but she knew they did for her brother
he felt their mother didnt love him or might of hated him which was why he thought she left in the first place; lani and eve have tried to tell him that was not the reason but he didnt believe them
lani looked in the rear view mirror and broke the silence "i'm sorry brandon" she said looking back at the road - lani really did feel bad for everything and she felt this was her fault "I shouldn't have put yall in this mess" she couldn't help but blame herself
"lani its not your fault stop blaming yourself"eve said looking at lani "and Brandon im sorry too" eve said, she felt like she shouldn't of let Becca get her our of character and she knew better than anybody that putting her hands on people never fixed anything
but she felt in that moment that putting hands on Becca was the only way "really i just wanted to protect lani" eve said in a low voice, lani knew she was protecting her and didnt want her sister to feel bad for anything
"eve don't do that I know you did it out of the kindness of your heart" lani said as she pulled in her driveway "we know the type of person you are and where your heart is" lani said as she turned to her sister and gave her a hug "please don't be sad guys, I know its not yalls fault" Brandon got up from his seat and joined the hug
"I love you guys" he gave both sisters kisses on the cheeks "I love you too" both sisters said together before they gave him a tight hug "ok ok ok, yall are suffocating me" they both laughed and let him go
as lani looked straight she could see lewis looking back at her "what's up with him?" Brandon said and eve grabbed him by his hand pulling him over the seat and out the door "grown folks business lets go" she closed the door and lani got out her car then stood in front of lewis "lani if you need us then yell... like real loud" she said as she gave lewis the "im watching you" look
he laughed and lani joined him "she always been that funny?" he asked, lani she nodded her yes "as long as I can remember" she looked at him as their laughter died down "is your brother and sister okay?" he asked curiously
she sighed before answering "yeah they are for now" she looked at the house noticed both of them in the window, she rolled her eyes and looked back at lewis "are you okay?" he asked as he grabbed her hand into his, she was taken aback by this gesture but she didnt pull her hand back
"ill be fine im just worried about my brother" she said honestly. lani was worried about her brother and how this was gonna set him back again, she felt they got passed so much in these last few years with his depression and anxiety, she didnt want it to come back because of Becca
