Shalonda's POV

I've been tryna call and text Anya for the past couple of weeks but have yet to get a response. I needed to let her know about Charles moving him and mama into her house. I would hate for her to just go there one day and see them. We may have our differences but that's still my older sister and the only one that hates Charles as much as I do. I haven't seen him since the night club. I haven't seen mama either because I knew most likely they would be together so I didn't want to take that chance. She called a few times though. That's how I knew about them moving into Anya's house. Hearing the front door open I didn't bother to get up. I knew it was Trevor.

I tried texting her one more time.

"Anya I know you're mad but we really need to talk."

"Any luck?" I turned around to find Trevor standing in the doorway of the den. I shook my head.

"Nopppe."

He sighed and came to sit beside me. He put his arms around my shoulders and began to caress them.

"You think she can ever forgive me?" I came and said before I even had time to think.

"Yeah of course she will. She loves you Shalonda."

"I know but what we did was wrong," I said.

"But we didn't actually get married," he said reminding me that the whole marriage thing was fake. I mean we were really together, just not married.

"But it was still wrong," I said softly as I turned towards him. Guilt was beginning to consume my every thought. I never wanted things to get this far.

Anya's POV

For the past few weeks I haven't saw or spoken to anyone besides Antonio and occasionally Maria. I would say that Maria basically moved in with Marcus considering she was hardly ever home. Jaylah and Mr. Harper tried to call a few times but I just had Antonio take a message for me each time. I know Mr. Harper was going to be pissed at me for not coming to help out at his store but mostly for mama and Charles living in his house. Shalonda has tried to get in touch with me but I ignored it of course. I really didn't have time for drama from her or my mama.

After telling Antonio pretty much my whole life story he was speechless. I wasn't surprised though, what I've been through is not normal. Since that day I've mostly been sitting around feeling sorry for myself. Today I was just sitting around watching sad movies. Antonio was gone most of the day so I was pretty much alone.

"Are you alright?" I heard Antonio say.

I didn't even turn and look up at him, I just nodded and continued watching t.v.

"Why do you keep watching these sad movies making yourself feel worse then what you already are?"

I sighed.

"Because I can relate to the main characters in these movies. I'm sad, they're sad," I said while pointing at them, "so I watch them."

"Well not today," he said quickly grabbing the remote and turning off the t.v.

"Hey!" I yelled in protest.

"I'm sorry but I can't keep watching you do this to yourself. Yes what happened to you is messed up but I don't want to see you hurt like this for too long. So today I'm taking you out."

I stared at him for a few seconds. There wasn't a hint of humor in his eyes so I knew he was serious.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

He got up and set the remote back on the middle table. Getting up he walked to the door and turned back to me with a smile on his face. That smile sent many shivers down my back.
