"Please. Nooo!" The house was burning down. As the firefighters was trying to put the house out. Everything was going so slow. With the screaming and yelling. I ran up to Tj who was. Crying looking at the house go down in flames. After about 20more minutes the fire was out. And the house was gone. We was standing in the yard. In disbelief. "We didn't find a body" A firefighter said. As we nodded he walked away. Soon it was just us and everybody was leaving. "You ready to go" Mike asked me wrapping his arms around me. "Yeah" I said as we made our way to his car. Driving off leaving the house. As everybody else followed.

•Kaden POV
"I handled it" I spoke through the phone. Watching Tj close her blinds. "I got it from here" I hung up the phone. Staring at her condo. Leaving after awhile.

•Rosa POV
I had just put the barbie que. On the pit. Placing the paper plates on the table. Throwing floatys in the pool. Today I was having a party in. Shon's memories. "Rosa!" I heard somebody yell coming through. The back. "You brought the kids" I asked Lena hugging her. "They wanted to go to camp instead. You know how they get when Shon is mentioned" She said as I nodded. She helped me put up some things. As time went by everyone started showing up. I say down by Diana. Drinking some whine.

•Lena POV
"Lexi you should've brought. The kids instead of leaving them" I said as she took off her clothes. Showing her swimsuit. "They good with their. Dads" She said. As Krystal walked up to us. Hugging me. "I'm surprised to see. You here Lexi" Krystal said looking at her. "Why it's a swim party" She said drinking some sprite. "It's in memory of Shon though" Krystal said as. Lexi just looked at her. Walking off I stayed seated at my. Table under the umbrella. "I hate her attitude" She said walking away as I. Laughed feeling the cool breeze.

•Jay
"I wanna go back" Jas said looking at me. Scared. "It's to late. You fucked up" I said. It's been a lil. Minute since we first got here. But ever since she bee nagging. "You wanna go to. Jail or worst them mothafuckas kill us. Both I owe them some damn money" I said. Getting up going to the. Bathroom. "Fuck it. I'll go to jail. I'll pay your fucking debts plus more. I miss my family and friends" She started screaming and crying. I swung the door open. Watching her break down. I held her in my arms. As every tear fell I. Wiped them away.

•Tj POV
I had just made it. To Rosa thing for Shon. Looking around I seen a lot of people came. I walked up to Rosa and Ms.Lee. Hugging them. Feeling a hole being burned. In the side of my face. "I'm glad you. Did this for Shon. Rosa. It means a lot to I'm. Pretty sure everyone here. He meant a lot" I said. Smiling. "I'm sure he did. I mean you wouldn't be shit. Without him or. His money" I ignored her not wanting. To start any trouble. "But of course. You so say through your. Money to in need people" I looked at her. Rolling my eyes. "I'm going to. Go say my hellos" I said walking away. I felt somebody grab my arm. I pushed them off as. They started laughing. Turning me around. "Don't grab me like that" I said smiling. Looking at him. "Where you been at" Kelp asked. Licking his lips. Looking me up and down. "I just got back. From Austin today" He nodded his head. Kissing me. We walked around. The party playing and laughing.

•Khaflia
"That bitch tried to take my son" I told Mekyah she smacked her lips. "Watch yo mouth. First off and second. That's his mother I'm not. Taking sides but Khaflia you stopped taking care of chase for two. Years when you was with Amber" Mekyah said. Making me look at her. "I sent money. Damn I bought that ungrateful hoe. A house" She rolled her eyes. "What's funny about that is. I went by the house. And now white people is staying there. You just better hope Janet. Don't tell momma about this stupid shit. You doing to her and your. Child" Mekyah pushed by me walking away. "You really tripping. Get yo shit together. For your son at least" I looked back at her. Stupid ass walking away. Saying shit. Looking around I seen Kelp and Tj laughing all up in each. Other fucking faces. I knew that punk ass nigga. Still wanted her. I picked up a bottle of Circo drinking it.

•Kelp POV
"Shia" Tj questioned running up. To her death hugging her. "What the fuck she doing. Back in town" Roxy asked Mike. We looked at each other. As Tj walked up to us. With Shia. "Isn't this a pleasant surprise" Tj said. Smiling widely. "What the fuck. Are you doing back in town" Roxy asked mad. "My brother. Planning for a wedding. Soon we'll be family" Shia said. Smirking. I stared at her. Pulling Tj close to me. "I think Rosa called yo name. A minute ago" I whispered in. Tj ear she nodded her head. Walking away. With Roxy following her. "I'll kill you. This time. Myself if you try anything" Mike spat out. Making Shia look at him. "Like I said. Before. I meant to get Amber" She said. "You lost our. Trust only reason. Tykendria ain't beating yo ass. Right now is because she don't fucking KNOW" I backed Mike up as. Tj came back. "Watch how you moving. Shia" I warned her. Meeting Tj going by the pool.

•Tee POV
"You okay with all. Of this" I asked. Yelena sitting down by her. "It's making me think. Of everything how it went down. Over the years" Lena said. Looking straight. "If I wouldn't have. Did what I did in New York. Shon would still be here" I shook my head. As I seen her eyes started to water. "Lena. It's not your fault. God makes no mistakes. He took Shon but. Blessed you with a splitting image of him. Remi and Ashanti" Lena started crying her breathing got uneven. "It was all my fault. I was whoring. I never should've tried to do. Him like that" I rubbed her back wiping her tears with. A napkin. "Lena listen to me. Shon loved you. Just because you tried to do. Him how he was doing you. Doesn't mean anything. When he was in Tj arms. He told you. Even if I don't make it. Don't hold on to me. Live your life. And you not doing the one thing he asked" I said she nodded her head. Getting herself together.

•Tj POV
It was finally night time. I past out the flying candles. As Rosa made her speech. "Shon accomplished a lot of things. Before the mishap. He was a person who cared and. Showed love for anybody who. Showed it back to. Him and that's why we. Let go of anything that we still hold with him. That's troubling us. Rest In Peace Shon" Rosa finished. As everyone held up the gang signs. Our candles flew up. Into the sky away. I smiled wiping a tear away. Hugging Rosa. "I'm going to head out. Love y'all" I said. Texting Kelp. Walking away going to hug. Shia. "I fucked the. Bitch last week" I heard as I was walking up. To the gang crowd around. "Excuse me" I said. Trying to get through as. I heard punches being thrown. "Fucking get out my way" They moved to the side. As Mike broke up the fight.

•AC POV
"Alright. I'm bout to head out" Kelp said. Dapping us up. Held out his hand. Khaflia stared at it. "You finally got her back. Huh" Khaflia said. Making us look at him. Kelp brought his hand back to his pocket. "What you talking about. Khaflia" Kelp asked. Laughing. "You got back with a. Hoe" Khaflia said laughing. "Chill out. Lil bruddah" Kelp said walking away. "I fucked the. Bitch last week" Khaflia yelled. Charging at Kelp. I was bout to stop it. Until Mike and Cam stopped me. "Get the fuck out my way" Somebody yelled. As Mike finally broke them up. Tj starred at them both. Making eye contact. Looking in disbelief and sorrow. Walking up to Kelp. Looking at his face. "I'm good" He walked off. With Tj right behind him.
