Y/N POV

"Reese hurry the hell up! You now how crazy traffic is at this time of day." Pops said.

Today we're going to dinner at my Nonna's house, we were supposed to leave an hour ago but Princess Reese is taking too long to get dressed. I was smart and put my clothes out the night before, Reese on the other hand was running the streets with her boyfriend last night and didn't come home until three in the morning. Pops and I are sitting in the living room waiting on her. Finally after taking longer than forever getting dressed Reese came out of our room. "Now y'all know beauty is a process. I don't wake up looking this good." Reese said.

Pops chucked and said, "Reese I want to be mad at you right now but I can't."

"Why not?" Reese asked.

"Anytime your mother and I went out whether it was to church or out on date, she always tried to make herself look perfect. But it didn't matter what she looked like, she was already perfect in my eyes. And I feel the same way about you girls." Pops said.

"That's really sweet dad." Reese said.

We grabbed our coats and we were out the door. Reese called shotgun so I sat in the back seat which was fine because it takes almost an hour to get from Brooklyn to the Bronx, so that means a nap on the way there and back.

I woke up from my nap when we were about five minutes away from Nonna's house. I wipe the sleep from my eyes and wait for us to arrive at our destination. As we were making the right turn to go down my Nonna's street a car didn't look where it was going and my father had to quickly slam on brakes.

After that I just froze, my breathing started to get shallow and I began to sweat. Every since my mom passed away I've had these weird fear of cars. It's like every time I get into a car I feel like something bad is gonna happen to me. "Hey it's not real wake up. Snap out of it." Reese said.

"B-B-But I-I was.....She was..."

"Take deep breaths and try to relax okay." Reese said.

I began to take slow deep breaths and I could feel myself starting to calm down. Reese reached in her center console and grabbed my medicine bottle. I poured one pill out and found the bottle of water that we kept in the backseat, after I took my medicine I took a few more deep breaths.

"Come on let's get in here for Nonna sends somebody out here." Reese said.

We got out of the car and began walking towards the house. Once we were inside I felt a warm grab me by my ear. That was Nonna Lola's way of letting you know she was pissed at you.

"Damn Nonna!" Reese and I yelled.

"Mmhm ya stubborn ass heifers. Y'all don't come by and see me unless I got food, greedy asses." Nonna said.

"Sorry Nonna." Reese and I said.

After getting tortured my Nonna, Reese and I greeted the rest of our family. We sat down at the large table and enjoyed dinner with our family. I loved going to Nonna's house because she was the best cook on the family. Once dinner was over I played with my younger cousins and talked to my grandfather about my boxing stuff. While I was walking through the dining room I got a phone call from an unknown number.
