"ow." i complained as allen pushed me off of him. we were on the couch watching the news.

"shot 10 tim-these niggas is ill." allen stared at the television while shaking his head.

"that's over kill." i said as i sat upright and kicked my feet up on the table.

the doorbell began to ring & allen looked over at me. "what?" i asked him. he pointed at the door and i huffed.

"damn, i got to do everything around here." i complained as i got off the couch and walked to the door. when i opened it i seen my father and half sister, camilla.

"wassup girl?" camilla asked as she embraced me in a hug.

"hey milla." i smiled while hugging her back.

my dad stood there with two big bags in his hand. "a little help?" he asked jokingly.

"sorry." i smirked as i grabbed one of the bags "y'all can come on in." i said, moving out the way so they could walk inside.

"aaliyah, wh-" allen began

"how you doing, al?" my pops asked him. allen stood up and shook his hand "i'm fine sir, how about you?"

they went into the kitchen when the other bag and continued to talk.

"so we got chips, juices & candy." camilla said "we decided to surprise you with a movie night." she smiled

"thanks y'all." i said as i sat the bag down. camilla sat down on the couch and looked at me.

"you got a boyfriend, right?" she asked me

i nodded and looked over at her "yeah."

"can we talk somewhere? it's kind of important." she said, while standing up.

"follow me." i said "me and milla going upstairs real quick!" i yelled towards the kitchen.

i went up the stairs and she follows closely behind me. i walked down the hallway and went to my room. camilla walked in right after and gasped. "jodeci ! tlc !" she said as he looked at the posters on my wall.

"t-boz and left eye are my id-"

"idols." we said in unison. we chuckled and i sat down on my bed. "what you wanted to talk about?" i asked

"what does it mean when a boy stops talking to you suddenly ? like y'all two were diggin' each other and then he's gone." camilla said, looking at the floor, sadly

"sorry, but that means that he found another."

she smacked her lips and spoke up "wow."

"boys will be boys unfortunately."

after we all watched the movie, pops and camilla went home because she was tired. he told me i should spend the upcoming weekend  with them.
