Evie

Mama and I had just come back from visiting papa and her uncles. I looked down at my hands having a mixture of emotions swirling in my head. "You okay?" My mom asked softly.

"Do you think dad and uncle San and uncle Jay are going to prison?" I asked.

"Evie-" She began but I began to ramble. "No I'm just saying whatever they did it has to be huge for them F.B.I. to be involved." I heard her sigh as I looked over at her. It looked as though she had spaced out which was making me nervous seeing as how she was the one driving. "Evie there are things that happened when you were younger..." She paused shaking her head. "You mean when you were kidnapped?" I questioned.

Her head snapped to me. "Uncle San and auntie Erin told me." She rolled her eyes. "Yes, after that happened things kind of got really bad before they got better. We did somethings and now they're catching up to us." My eyes widened. "You had something to do with this?" I wasn't surprised to know my dad or even my uncles did bad things but my mother.

"Are you ever going to tell me what happened?" She sighed taking a glance at me. "Is it really important that you know?" I nodded my head. "Yes. I feel like my life has been turned upside down I just want to know why." She nodded her head. "After your party we can talk, okay?" I nodded my head.

"I'm so proud of you mamas." My aunt Renee said pulling me into a hug. "Thank you." I smiled. "I can't believe my little niece is officially done with high school." Uncle Jax said with a fake cry. I laughed. "So what'd you get me?" I asked eagerly.

"Well..."

"Present are last. We have a schedule people." My mama yelled. "Lord." My uncle said rolling his eyes as he walked off with my aunt Renee. "Evie go change everyone's outside." My mama said heading upstairs. I smiled and rushed upstairs and changed.

I walked outside looking at all the people who came celebrate my graduation with me. "Evie!" I looked to see my cousin Sasha waving me over. I walked over smiling, but it quickly dropped when i saw who was over here. "MAMA!!!! DADDY!!!!!" I yelled next thing i see is my daddy and my uncle rush over holding different weapons that were closest to them before i called them. "What? What happened?" My dad asked. "What are they doing here?" I asked gesturing towards Que and Milani.

Daddy rubbed the back of his neck and i knew this was his doing. "Come with me." I rolled my eyes before following his. "Why would you invite them after..."

"His dad died." My dad said cutting me off. My eyes widened. "What?" He sighed. "About two weeks ago. His dad was found beaten and shot. It's just him and his sister now. I may not have liked his father but i gave my word to him and Que and i keep my word." I sighed nodding my head. "Well why is Milani here?" I said in disgust that she even thought it was okay to step foot in my house. "Well, Que brought her and being that she's pregnant I couldn't just say no." I opened my mouth to speak when my mom voice interrupted.

"Baby why the hell is Milani in my..." She stopped looking at me. Daddy groaned closing his eyes. "She's pregnant what was i supposed to just say no you can't come in." My mama and i looked at each other then back at my dad. "Yes, that's exactly what you should have said." Mama said.

I looked over at Giovanni and Evie as they talked. I sighed wiping my hand over my face. "Maybe we shouldn't have come. It wasn't you're best idea Des." I said. "Well in my defense I only invited you and Jordynn. You bringing... extra people is on you. Shit I barely got the okay for Danielle to come and you go inviting extra people." He rambled towards the end as he got up walking off.

I looked at Milani to see her messing with her drink completely unaware that she was cause of all the tension. I got up about to walk off when i heard her speak. "Where are you going?" I glanced back at her but kept walking. "Yes, that's exactly what you should have said." Mrs. Naya said. Giovanni glanced at me.

"Evie? Mrs. Naya?" I asked. They turned around and looked at me. "Yes?" Mrs. Naya said. "We can go if our being here is really bothering you. Giovanni only let us come because he was feeling sorry for me." I said. "Why would he feel sorry for you?" Mrs. Naya asked looking confused. I looked at Giovanni. "I just told Evie i hadn't gotten to her yet."

"Oh well my father was found dead two weeks ago."

Mrs. Naya turned and looked at her husband then back at me. She pulled me down to her level hugging me. "Oh are you okay? Do you or jordynn need anything?" My eyes teared up but i held it together. "No we're good." I said as she let me go. I looked at Evie and she had a look of sympathy. "But like i said earlier we can go if..."

"Hey, what are we talking about?" Milani asked walking over.

"Why you're here you stupid bi...."

"Evie!" Giovanni yelled cutting her off. "Guarda quel look assassino sul suo viso. Ecco perché avresti dovuto mandare il suo culo a casa." Look at that smug ass look on her face. That's why you should have sent her ass home. I shook my head as I looked from the three of them to Milani who smiled obliviously to what was being said about her. "Posso parlare con te? In privato." Can I talk to you? In private. My attention went to Evie. "Yes." She mugged Milani and walked off. "You sure it's not a problem?" I asked Giovanni and Mrs. Naya.

"It's fine, but i will be watching you." She speaking directly to Milani. I hugged Mrs. Naya and shook Giovanni's hand. "Thanks."

"So what's up?" I asked looking down at Evie. "I'm sorry about your dad." Her face softened as she spoke. "Evie it's fine really." She looked up at me "I couldn't imagine losing my mama let alone my dad too. I'm really sorry about your dad." I looked at her and i could see the sincerity in her eyes. "Thank you." I said opening my arms pulling her into a hug. She was tense but soon hugged me back. "That means a lot coming from you."
