As Long As I Have You (Sequel to The Step-Dad)

XXIV.

AUTUMN'S POV

Autumn : They said how long?

*on the phone*

Y/n : *sniffles* Five months.

Autumn : Aw, it's gonna be okay Hun. Five months is gonna go by like that. *snaps her fingers*

Y/n : You know how bad his temper is.. *sighs*

Autumn : *sighs* Yeah....just have faith.

Y/n : *blinks away your tears* What am I gonna tell the kids?? The triplets went crazy when I told them that Kyla was their aunt...

Autumn : *pauses* Damn...

Jazzmine : *walks downstairs with Selena in her arms*

Autumn : *looks over at them* I don't know, [your first initial]. Just tell them the truth...

Y/n : Last time I told the truth, my husband was sentenced five months in prison..

Autumn : *sighs* Just pray Y/n. That's the best thing you can do at this point..

Y/n : Yeah... *hangs up*

Autumn : *sighs & puts her phone down* *walks into the living room* Who wants a snack?? *faintly smiles*

*A month & a half later*

Autumn : Well what can we do? I can't bare to see Y/n like this.

Trevor : *sighs* We can't do anything, he has to serve his time. He can't get bail, besides it's only been a month..

Autumn : And to Y/n it feel like centuries. *sighs* Trevor, we have to do something!

Trevor : We can't do anything.. *sighs & walks off*

We HAVE to do something. Y/n hasn't been herself and it's affecting all of us. She's always been the strong one, the big sister that tell you that it'll be okay, the believer. I feel bad for her. Ever since Diggy went to jail, it's like she doesn't have anything to live for.

YOUR POV

Takara : Come on [your first initial], you gotta get out the house.

Y/n : *blankly stares at the ceiling*

*phone rings*

Y/n : *jumps over & answers it* Hello, hello?

Operator : Would you like to accept this collect call?

Y/n : Yes. Yes. *waits for the call to go through*

Diggy : *weakly* [your first initial]..

Y/n : *whines* Babyyyy! *cries* Are they hurting you? Are you okay? You need me to call Uncle Gavin?? Cause I will if I have too!!

Diggy : *weakly chuckles* Baby, I'm fine....

Y/n : *pouts & sniffles* Then why do you sound so terrible?

Diggy : *smiles* That sort of thang happens when you haven't eaten in almost two months..

Y/n : *sighs* Danny...

Diggy : Don't wanna hear it [your first initial]. There's nothin you can say to make me eat this shit they call food.

Y/n : *looks up at the ceiling & sighs* *gets up* I'm on my way.

Diggy : Y/n we agreed, every Thursday.

Y/n : And at this point, I don't give a shit! You haven't eaten in almost two months Daniel!
