You would think that it would be cold due to it being mid December. But nope it's hot as hell. And my hair is every fucking where because of this weather.

Zoe walked in eating a huge sandwich.

"Nigga didn't we just eat a hour ago"

"Yea,but I'm a growing man,oh the UPS man is at the door. Some rule it has to be you that sighs his Lil bitch ass paper"

Laughing

"You mad Z"

He just takes another bite. Getting my package,running to my room,opening my closet I open the secret door that looks like the wall.  It's Ace shoes so I stash them with the rest of the presents. Putting my wall back. Walking out the closet.

"What you doing?" Z comes in the room eyeing me.

"Minding my business. What about you?"

"Don't get smart"

"Want to help me pick out a tree?"

"Uh sure"

We pack up in the car. Getting to the tree place in about 20mins.

Picking a medium size tree. Stopping to Walmart to get ornaments plus wrapping paper.

"You got any where else you need to go"

"Naw I do want to spend some time with you when we get back"

"Let's us do the tree,wrap my gifts then sure"

"Did you get me something?"

"Duh"

"Don't get smart"

When we get in the house the boys put the tree up. Going to my room to change. Yo-yo is sitting on my bed. I need to start locking my dame door.

Taking my clothes off changing in more comfy clothes. I ignore her just like I have been doing for the past month.

"Can we talk?"

Do I act like a grown up or do I continue to act childish towards this bitch?

"I got nothing to say to you"

"Please"

"What Yo? Do you want to accuse me of something?"

"No! Look I'm sorry,I wasn't thinking. I don't know what was going through my head. You know after I did every thing,my guilt came alive. Me being selfish. You lost your baby,and I just tossed mine away. Not even considering Ace feelings on the matter. I fucked up"

"You hurt Ace point blank period. You didn't even want to man up to your mistakes. Fuck my feelings Yo-yo, I didn't make a baby with you. Then you accuse me of fucking Ace....

"You did what?"

Ace walks in at that moment looking heated.

"It was a mistake"

"You having allot of fucking mistakes. Huh? So when I fucked you Cali? I know I would have remembered that"

He says this licking his lips. I look at him strangely.

"When we went to the Fall. Apparently anyway."

"Wooow so you thought I was going to fuck as soon as you told me you got rid of my seed"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for all the pain that I caused both of you. I've been having a hard time with out you both in my life. I'm trying to work on my self get right. And I appreciate what you've done for me Cali. I just hope that you both can forgive me"

"I'll forgive you if Ace does. That's my only offer"

"I can for give you,but I can't forget. You need to worry about your self for awhile. Get your mind right! You've hurt me more than any body has,I just need you to know that."

He walked out with tears falling down his eyes.

"I forgive you,but I'm still taking space from you. You've changed to a person I don't know anymore. I love you your still my sister but get your shit together before I have to cut ties. Don't do it for nobody but your self."

Hugging her giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Come and help do the tree"

Her eyes lite up. We love the tree because we never had it when we were small. So we get one for lost times.

Everybody pitches in,everybody's happy for once. Going to thr room locking my door. I wrap all the gifts neatly with tags on them. Which reminds me I need to get goody bags to put the cookies I'm going to bake in.

Making two trips to the tree.

"Well dame when did you get all that?"

"Don't worry about it"

"I see you got your ex bitch nigga one"

Zoe always got something smart to say.

"Yea it was before we broke up"

He says nothing walking out the room with a attitude. Oh well,it's going on 12:30. What to do? I'm bored.

Everyone's went there separate ways for the night.

Going to my room I put on a two piece,heading to the back of the house. Jumping in the pool. Getting on a floater I lay there looking at the stars.

Hearing a splash Zoe arrives next to me.

"I love the stars. I have since I was young,I use to think they could save me. Being foolish I guess"

"Not foolish,young and hopeful"

I was happy he didn't continue with my past. Nobody knows it,it's been easy that way.

"I guess"

"No serious,my pops use to come home drunk every night, I use to wish my teddy bear would come alive to be my hero when he beat the hell out of me. Now that was foolish"

He touches the knife scar along the side of my stomach but doesn't say a word. Then he does the same to the scar along my stomach from my baby.

Diving in the water coming back to the surface. Zoe keeps up well. We just let loose playing around with each other. Its beginning to rain lightly. I love the rain it feels like its washing some of the bad in the world away. When we get in the house we sit by the fire place talking about any thing that comes to mind.

We decided to go watch a movie. Getting in the shower,washing my hair so it won't be so bad in the morning.

I put it in a messy bun,big T-shirt with shorts.

When I come out Zoe's in the middle of the bed with no shirt and basketball shorts. Dame!

Cuddling up to watch BOO 

Drifting off to sleep. I think I hear Zoe mumble I'm falling for you hard. But I don't know if it was real or dream land.
