The storm had finally settled and everything was returning back to normal. The winter service vehicles were clearing the roads, so people who were snowed in could move around again.

It was a rather chaotic morning with our guest packing up to leave. Tre was running around like he was in charge of making sure everyone didn't leave anything behind. He also wanted to send them away on a full stomach.

I would have volunteered to help him in the kitchen but we were sharing the house with Max and Carter. Who are just like Tre. They loved servicing others.

I leave the breakfast making in their hands.

I walk past Rain's room and Boon is storming out, clearly upset. "What's up?"

He keeps walking but stops and turns around. "You know you and Tre almost had me believing, but love just ain't fah me. None of this shit is."

I peep into the room to see Rain packing. I knock, then gently push the door more open and Boon walks in behind me. "What this is?" I question.

"This is me leaving and going to stay with family. I have been away long enough. I'm not too proud to realize I need them."

"Oh." I look back at Boon making his way to the other side of Rain. "Time with family is somethin important, so I can't be mad at."

"Thank you. Glad somebody understands." He neatly places the stacked up clothes into the suitcase.

"You don't have any plans of comin back?" I ask.

Boon is using everything in him to withhold from exploding

"No. Not as of right now." Rain words nearly send him over the edge.

I put my hand out, asking him to calm down.

"We kinda tryna build some shit out with us and you just gonna dip?"

"I'm not about to let you get in my head and make me feel like shit. I have to for once put myself first. I have been playing number two to my own happiness for too long now." He zips up his suitcase.

"You ain't wrong fah that Rain."

"Anybody saying he is?" Boon eyes burn through mine. His tone indicates he doesn't want me in their conversation.

"I have made my decision." He starts packing another suitcase.

"I let you in Rain...and nobody gets in."

"Boon you hot one day and cold the next. You want me and then you don't. You're nice and then you a fuckin asshole. I'm too familiar with those signs."

"You sayin um similar to that muhfucka that was swellin up yo eyes?" He walks closer to Rain.

"Look at how hostile you get." He steps back. "Sometimes that scares me Boon." He moves closer to me.

Boon honestly appears hurt. "I scare you?"

"Sometimes it's like, if I don't react the way you want or do what you want...I don't know. You turn really unpredictable. You say mean shit. Shit that's intended to make me sad."
