"You are 21 and. Single with not. One but two kids" My sister Lexi said. We was shopping. Since Remi and Vanessa. Was at practice and. Shanti was with Rosa . "So you're 23 and have. Three kids. By three different. Men" I said. Getting annoyed by. Her still bringing. This subject up. All the time. "Look you know. I love you. But it's been. Like eight years. Since he died. Move on. Before you know it. You're going to. Be thirty. Taking care of your kids. Kids" She said. Stopping me. I looked at. Her like she. Was stupid. I hated talking about. The subject to. Anyone. Especially someone who. Has always had something. Against our relationship. "It's been. Six and I'm fine. Just taking care of. OUR kids" I said walking off. Away from her. At this moment I really. Didn't want to be. Around her. Are anybody else for that matter.

We had just. Pulled up to. Cj's house and. I could tell that. A lot of people was here. Already. "Did you call. Tj to make sure. She was coming". Jay asked. I nodded my head. Then got out the car. With him right behind me. We made our way in the. House speaking. Saying our hey's. And then went our separate ways. I finally found. Cj and Mekyah em. Outside standing by the pool. "Hey J thanks. For coming" Cj said. Hugging me as I said. My hello's then. Kind of distancing myself. Going to call. Tj to make sure. She come to hear. Whatever the big news. Is Cj have to. Tell us.

Looking at me. I nodded my head. As she walked off. In a different direction. From the group. With me behind her. "So wasup" I asked. As we stopped. By the swings. "I just wanted to. Say thank you. I heard about what you. Did for me. With Shai. And stuff. And.....and" She said. Tearing up. "Come here" I said. Pulling her into a hug. "You've been taking. Care of me. My whole life. And I never thanked you. I just treat you. So wrong and bad" She said. Crying into my. Chest as I wiped her tears.

Kiss the person cheek. I went up to them. With Khaflia behind me. He grabbed me stopping. Me making me snatch away from him. "Chase. What did mommy. Tell you about. Things like that" I said. To him. Grabbing him. Squatting down to his level. "Chill out. He anit do. Nothing wrong in my eyes" Khaflia said. As I seen his shadow. Standing by the person. I looked up and then quickly. Stood up to see Tj. "He did in my eyes. And like I said. I told him to. Not do that because you. Don't know what anybody. Have now n days" I said. Making her giggle. "Something funny" I asked. Looking at her. "I don't want. Any problems. I was just speaking to Chase" She said. Making me look her up and down. "I would. Really like it. If you didn't" I said. Letting Chase go. Play with the other kids. She started nodding her head. "Ight. I get it" Tj said. As she walked. Off.

•Roxy POV
"Brandon I would've. Never thought you. Would have ended up. With a black girl" I said. Making him laugh. "Me either" He said. Looking at Cj. As a glow came to his face. And pride came to the. Way he stood. "I'm really happy. You found a girl. That's. Going to love. You for you" I said. Brandon is like a. Older brother. To me he. Had my back when. All of that shit. Went down with. Me, Shai, a Bitch. And three niggas she was. Messing with. "Thank you. I just want to. See you happy now sis" He said. As I looked over at. Cam who. Glanced at me. Every now and then. "Yeah you not the. Only one" I mumbled under my breathe. I turned back around. To see Cj. And noticed that she was. Talking and smiling. Soon Brandon joined her. By the highest ground.

•Tj POV
"Chris get the. Fuck out of my. Mothafucking house. Before I call the. Police" I woke to. Carmen screaming glass shattering. I started staying with. Carmen and Roxy a few. Days ago since. They was worried and have. More then enough. Room for all of us. "Get the fuck out!!" Carmen. Screamed a piercing scream. Making me jump up. And go to her room. Upstairs. To see Chris. With Carmen phone. In his hand shattered. With all of her mirrors and one lamp broke. "What the fuck is going on" Jas ran in. With one of Jay shirts. On. "He needs to get out" Carmen said. Crying looking at him. "Get out before. I call someone that's. Going to get yo ass. Out" I said. Looking at. Carmen's cut up. Hands and feet. And one on her cheek. "Bitch you gone do what" He said. Walking up to me. As I showed him. My phone that was. Already dialing. The police. "You have one more. Step and strike to take. Before I report to ass. Now get the guck. Out of our house" I said. Nicely as he. Stared at all three of us. Before bumping into me. Going down the stairs. Five seconds later. We heard the door. Shut quietly. And Carmen broke down. Crying. Throwing all of his stuff away. As we went to put. On slippers and. Help her.
