Dream

"Where the hell am I?" Que asked until he turned around seeing he his mother and father. Angie stares at her son with tears in her eyes. "You've gotten so big." She said hugging him. "Mama?" Que questioned in shock. "It's good to see you son." His father said. Within the blink of an eye, they were sitting a movie theater. "Where are we?" Que asked. "We're here to help you remember what happened," Angie said as the screen lit up.

Que and his parents watched his life flash across the screen. "You remember when you first reconnected with Evie?" Angie gushed. "I didn't know it was Evie, but I knew I had to talk to her that night," Que said as he looked at himself talk to Evie. "Then you two slowly began to develop feelings," Chris said as he watched his son slowly fall in love.

"Then you messed things up," Que mumbled causing Chris to drop his head. "I know." He said shamefully." He said as they watch the two of them break up because they're parents. "Then there is Milani," Angie said. "I know. I know but she set me up." Que tried to explain. "We know." His parents both said as the images on the screen sped up.

"You and Evie came back together," Chris said smiling as he watched the two sit in diner booth talking. Que smiled also at the memory of her birthday weekend until Milani ruined it. "And again, there goes Milani," Angie said again. They watched as Evie fought her again and again. "I will admit though Giovanni and Anaya raised a damn boxer," Chris said as the three of them laughed.

"You two young adults sat down and discussed your problems and decided that Milani's shenanigans weren't going to affect your friendship," Angie said. "And you two slowly began to build back up your friendship. That is until one night." Chris said as they watched two men walk into his home before he was hit. The screen went black but the sound was still going. "Close your eyes and listen," Chris said. Que closed his eyes and really concentrated on what was being said around him. "We got her, Mimi." He heard this deep voice say.

"What about him?" A voice that sounded like Milani says. "We got him too. What do you want us to do with him?" The man asked. "Take him to your place and until he wakes up. I need him to sign those custody papers before we do anything to him." Milani said. Que's eyes opened and he stood face to face with both his parents. "Milani did this to me," Que said. They nodded their head. "I'm going to kill her." He yelled. "No," Chris said. "No?" Que questioned. "That crazy bitch set me up more than once and you're telling me I can't kill her ass." He asked looking at his father. "No that's not what I'm saying." Chris retorted. "I'm saying be smart. You need to make sure that bitch knows not to ever come for you, Evie, or Amari." Que looked at his father nodding his head.

"So, you need to wake up and play the game until you can find proof of what they did," Angie said looking at her son. Que clenched and unclenched their jaw at the thought of pretending he wants to be with Milani. "Fine." He huffed. "Then wake up," Chris said. "Wait," Que said looking at his mother. "Grandma sent me a letter saying some guy named Mason is my real dad. Is that true?" HE asked looking at both his parent. Chris turned and looked at Angie. "Ask your uncle Jason." Was all she said before she reached up kissing his cheek. "I love you baby boy," Angie said. "I'm very proud of the man you've become," Chris said hugging his son. Chris stepped back and stood next Angie and they both smile. "Give our granddaughter kiss for us," Chris said.

"And Que look out for Evie," Angie said. "Why?" Que questioned. "There's someone watching her," Was the last thing he heard before he came to.

Que

I tried to clear my throat as I slowly began to wake up. I eased my eyes open before I sat up looking around. "You're awake." I looked up seeing Evie poking her head in. "Can I come in?" She asked softly. "Yeah," I said nodding my head. She walked in coming towards me before taking a seat on the edge of the bed. "Are you okay?" She asked grabbing my hand. After that crazy ass dream I had I decided to play along like my parents said. I just stared at her face happy that she cared enough to come check on me. "My mom said you have amnesia." I nodded my head. "There was an accident and I hit my head." I lied as I looked at her.

She reached up touching my face. I closed my eyes as she rubbed her thumb across my cheek. I loved her touch. "How much do you remember?" She asked. I kept my eyes closed as I tried to remember how much they thought I knew. "Milani and I are dating." I paused disgusted at the words that were coming out of my mouth. "And I got her pregnant which led to my beautiful daughter," I said. "Evie, I really am truly sorry. You are the last person I would ever intentionally hurt." I said as I looked down sighing.

"I know Que. Actually, over the past couple of months, we've been working on our friendship. We talk just about every day whether it's texting, phone calls, or facetime. We always stay in contact." She said smiling at me. "Really now," I said smiling as I looked at her. The door opened and Milani walked in holding Amari. "Get out." She snapped. Evie turned and looked at me rolling her eyes before she got up and kissed my forehead. "Call me if you need me." She said before turned to Milani. "And you." She said pointing at her. "Better watch who the fuck you're talking to before you end up with a dislocated jaw. Remember I still owe you an ass whoopin and we're in a hospital." Evie said smiling.

I tried to cover up my laughter with a cough. "Bitch don't get cocky before your parents have to lose a daughter." Milani threatened just as the door opened and the nigga she had been claiming as her uncle walked in. Evie eyed Dimitri which in turn only caused him to smile. "Tell your parents I said hi," Dimitri said with a wink. Evie scoffed rolling her eyes before she turned and looked at me. "I'll talk to you later Que." She said. I waved giving her a small smile as she left.

Milani

"Baby are you okay?" I asked cupping his cheek. "I'm good I guess. I haven't spoken to the doctors yet." He said barely sparing me a glance as he took Amari out of my arms. "Do you remember anything that happened before you passed out?" Dimitri asked. "Milani was arguing with someone and I came to the door to see her and Evie. Then everything went black." He said. "I guess your concussion was more severe than we thought," Dimitri said. There was another knock on the door before Dimitri opened it. I rolled my eyes when I saw it was all the guys. They all crowded around him asking him if he was okay and if he needed anything. I stood next to my uncle as I watched all Que's check on him.

"I've never had that," I said staring in envy. "What?" Dimitri said. "People who care. I mean I had you, but you're just one person. He has a whole team." I said jealousy clearly in my voice. "Is that why you slept with your best friend's ex-boyfriend?" Dimitri asked. "He was... is in love with her. But when they broke up I thought if I could make him fall for me he'd love me like he did with her." I said. "And did he?" Dimitri said. "No," I said. There was another knock on the door and Dimitri opened it.

I stood scared when I saw it was Mrs. Romano and Giovanni come in with Jordynn in tow. "What are you doing here?" Giovanni asked staring at Dimitri with a clenched jaw. The room fell silent as the tension-filled it up. "Supporting my niece and her boyfriend." He said. Mrs. Romano walked to the bed helping Jordynn up so she could hug her brother. "Milani." She said in a short-clipped tone. The boys looked at us as if something was going to happen. I may have talked shit about Mrs. Romano in the past but from the stories I had heard of her, she scared the shit out of me. "Mrs. Romano," I said before she glanced at her husband and my uncle as they stared each other down. "How are you feeling Que?" Mrs. Romano asked. "I'm good. Just a little dizzy." He said as Jordynn cuddled up to him. "Do you need us to get you anything?" She asked. "No that's okay," Que said.

"We'll let you and Jordynn spend some time together, okay." She said with a sweet smile. Que nodded his head as he hugged Amari and Jordynn. "Boys let's go." She said. She got the door looking at her husband who was seconds away from hitting my uncle. "Giovanni." She intertwining their fingers. You could literally see him let out a breath as he calmed down. "Milani, can I talk to my sister alone?" Que asked. I gave him a slight smile. "Of course," I said. Dimitri and I followed the Romano's out of the room.

We walked into the waiting room seeing everyone sitting around. I took a seat next to Dimitri and I noticed as he kept eyeing Evie. "Stop it," I said nudging him. "I want her." He said looking my way. "What?" I whispered. "Our deal. I want her." I looked back at Evie. I knew if my uncle got his way the things he would do to her. Could I really put her through that? I thought.
