The Exception

Day Before Leaving

NADYA POV

Me. "Jay have you finished packing all of your bags yet? Mark called and said that we habe to get on the plane early and I don't want to have any problems"

J, "I thought that you said Carmine was going to do it? If she doesn't come can you just throw anything in there. I"m not a complicated person"

Me, "J come on, I have to make sure that all the kids are ready and I need to make sure that my family is good. Now we need to talk about Zion"

J, "What do we need to talk about? He's staying with me for the beginning and then he can go wit either your mom or my mom"

Me, "Okay, now what about all the other kids. Like we still have some younger kids with us and I'm worried about how they are dealing with all of this. Have you talked to them about what's going to happen?"

J, "Yeah, but my mom said that she would talk to them some more. She brought all these books about the situation so I think that they would be okay. Why are you so worried about the kids now, like since we left Houston you've been even more devoted to the kids,whats' going on?"

Me, "I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm just trying to make sure that everyone is settled and that we have a fun trip. Look Rose and I are going out to dinner tonight and I wanted to know if you could talk to Amari. He's been ignoring Chai for a couple days and that's my sister, I need to make sure that she's okay"

J, "So am I the bad cop in the relationship?"?

Me, "You know that's not the case at all. When I am with the kids I have to be serious and discipline. With you it's like you would rather buy them goods and take them out for no reason rather than saying no. Like tell me how much money you gave to Tati and Kayla, they came back with all these bags"

J, "Well I took them out and I thought that they deserved some nice things. I gave them 3200 to split for the whole time that we were in New York, that's not that bad"

Me, "Why do they have that much money?They are 12 and 14 years old, that's not a cool thing for them to be walking around with and I've talked to you about that already. I don't want Zion at like 10 walking around with 1000 dollars in his pocket because that's what you think they need. That's no way for the kids to learn to be adults or grow up and I don't want that for our kids either"

J, "Okay, but why do I need to talk to Amari, and I peep the way that you tried to fit in us having kids there. I see you, I know that you want 'all of this'"

Me, "Please I already got my hands full with all these kids and I love Zion but that whole pregnancy wasn't easy. I'm not trying to run into that again, well at least not soon"

J, "Okay, just go and have dinner with your sister. I'll check back with you later cause tomorrow is going to be crazy"

J POV

Me, "Amari where are you?"

Amari, "in the back, what are you doing here?"

Me, "Well I wanted to speak to you because there is trouble in the palace. The queen told me that you've been ignoring Chai,what's going on?"

Amari, "Well I thought that my relationship business was my own. I didn't think that I would have to be monitored. So what do you need to know?"

Me, "Listen I'm not hunting for anything, I just wanted to know what's going on between you two. Like she used to be all fun and friendly and now she doesn't even come out of her room. You don't want to hang like you used too and that's not coo9l with me or the guys"

Amari, "I guess that we just grew apart. I can honestly say that I don't know what happened. She just stopped talking to me and i thought that meant that we were done so I started talking to Simone again. She's always an easy chick to get with"

Me, "A are you serious? How could you jut give up tht fast and then move on so fast? She's probably depressed because she thought that you were really into her and then you go and jump into another girls lap. that's not cool, especially not with the sister of the girl that I'm with. I suggest that you go and speak with her because if Nadya finds out you are a dead man"

Amari, "I don't know if I can speak with her. I'm not ready to be around her so I was going to fly out separately,do the show and then head back home. I need to finish up some music and the fahion line that I have"

Me, "No I am going to talk to her and then you two can speak. we are too close to leaving for all of this to just fall apart. I'm not going to let that happen"

Amari, "go ahead, plus I never did anythin with Simone so we should be better, I couldn't pull myself to do anything, it felt like I was cheating on her or something"

Me, "Yo it sounds like you finally found your match. I thought that you two looked so great together and I know that Chai may not be the best at showing her emotiions but she's caring and she wants to find someone that's willing to take the journey with her"

Amari,"we can talk but she seemed really mad at me. I think that it may just be over forever"

After speakin with Amari I knew that I was in for something. Chai could be dramatic but I knew that she liked to be around Amari. I was a bit surprised that she was even talking to him because he was just so out there and his ego definitely was huge but that fueled her. I wanted to see what Chai had to say about this and if there was anything that could help. After knocking on her door for 10 minutes straight she finally opened the door.

Me, "Long time no see C, what's going on?"

Chai, "Listen I'm not in the mood. I told your home-boy somethin and he quit me. I want nothin to do with him"

Me, "Okay, what did you tell him? Amari isnt the best with responding"

Chai, "Well I told him that I was pregnant and that I wanted to get an abortion. Next thing I know he's finished with me and he doesnt' want to have anything to do or say to me"

Me, "A baby, he didn't tell me anything about a baby"

chai, "Because he wants to believe that there is no baby. I can't do that"
