*1 month later-Miami, Florida*

Author's P.O.V

"Yo, Larry!"

Laurent tapped his brothers back as Larry continued his gaze out of the large window in front of him. He was thinking hard. Laurent tapped him a bit harder, getting Larry's attention.

"What Chris", Larry asked, looking up at him.

"...We goin home bro", he smiled, shaking Larry's shoulders.

"What you mean?"

"We been gone for 10 months, we did what we had to do, we got the stuff we needed, it's time to go home man".

Larry sighed and stood up. Tyga and the other men walked into the room. They all starred at each other, before they cheered and joined together in a group hug. They balled out of control, jumping on couches, chairs, tables.

They all screamed from the top of their lungs, and honestly could care less about who heard. They were happy, excited, joyful, cheerful, anything that described the smiles on their faces. Everyone had someone to go home to. Some with wife's, some with girlfriends, some with kids, some with family members. They've all favored this moment, and now it's finally happening.

"We goin home bro bro", Laurent screamed, hugging his brother tightly.

"We goin home", Larry whispered, tugging Laurent's afro as he hugged back.

*West Palm Beach, Florida*

"Feeling like I'm breathing my last breath, feeling like I'm walking my last steps, look at all of these tears I've wept, look at all the promises I've kept, I put my heart into your hands, here's my soul to keep, I let you in with all that I can, you're not hard to reach, and you blessed me with the best gift, that I've ever known, you give me purpose."

Bambii gently laid down her sleeping baby girl. She kissed her cheek just as Tori walked into the room.

"She looks like her dad". "I know", Bambii smiled. "You know, when he comes back-" "That's if he comes back and I doubt that he will".

"Bambii, you can't keep saying that. You're gonna jinx it." "Tori, I'm tired. I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of crying, I'm tired of being mad all the time, Tori I'm tired of being tired. I've come to terms that Larry is never coming back. He left me and his daughter. And I can't go on thinking that he might come back after all this time".

Tori sighed and walked over to Bambii who had took a seat on the bed. She sat down next to her and grabbed her hand and held it into hers.

"Bambii, I know it has to be hard being a single parent, but you-" "No Tori. Just... drop it. I gave my all into a man who wouldn't do the same. I don't even know why I still walk around with this ring on my finger. This stupid promise ring".

Bambii pulled the shiny silver ring off of her finger and threw it across the room. She ran her ringers through her hair, which she had had cut and curled, and sighed. "I'm gonna call my cousin and ask her to babysit. I need a drink."

*45 minutes*

Bambii and Tori were now fully dressed and pulling up into the driveway of Bambii's cousin. Erika lived only about 20 minutes away and was the only relative of Bambii that she actually still kept in touch with. It'd been a while since the two spoke, but Bambii was now in Miami, Florida, visiting her and vacationing with her bestfriend and 2 month old daughter.
