Just then Melton came from the back looking mad as hell.

"You got some explaining to do"

"Melton go easy with her, after all. She did get Cece back" Tick said trying to get Lena off me but she refused to let go.

"Want some candy" Tick asked.

"No sir, my mama always told me never to take candy from strangers"

"You smart, your mama taught you well"

"Well, what will it take for you to come with me to the playroom."

"If Cece come I'll go"

"Cece"

They both looked down at Cece with puppy eyes.

"Cool with me" she shrugged.

"Yay," both Tick and Lena said.

I swear he acts like a lil kid. He grabbed her and walked to the playroom with her.

"Look Rana I have been thinking, and since you've been with William, a lot has happened even kids' lives are becoming in danger, they know where you stay and live with, I gotta sister and a son to protect and you living with me they're eventually going to get hurt and I'm not going be there to protect them. So that's why I'm just going to go ahead and say that you can't stay with me anymore. I'm sorry but it's for the best for both of us"

"I get you're trying to protect your family but you knew what you were getting into when you offered and I didn't ask you to loan me your place, so now what do you want me to do"

"I don't know what you're going to do but you can't go back to the house, they'll probably be waiting for you, once I leave here I'm taking Cece and Mj to my secret house."

Great I'm in a situation where my father is now dead, this little girl could be related to me and now I don't have a place to stay, what a day I'm having.

"Fine," I said walking away.

"Rana, baby girl what's wrong," Lee Lee asked coming from the back.

"I just found out that my dad was killed and now Melton just kicked me out, I don't know what to do then Shawn after me, I don't know who to trust anymore, everybody setting up everybody up. I lost my best friend, the boy who I like is in the hospital because of me, the little girl back there could be my sister and the bad part is I don't have nobody to talk this stuff to" I was on the verge of tears.

"You can talk to me and Kean anytime don't forget that we are about to buy us another house so you can stay in the one we got until you get a job and buy a place to stay," she said pulling me into a hug.

"I want in," Kean said coming from the back.

"Me too" Von walked in after him.

"Don't forget about us" Tick said with Lena on his back and holding Cece's hand.

"I can't breathe," I said now smushed in between everybody.

Everyone started to laugh, "Suck it up and be a man," Von said.

"Ain't y'all missing someone," Melton said jumping on us, making us fall.

Once everyone got up they all stared at Lena and then back at me.

"So Rana who is this little cutie that looks so much like you"

"Guys this is Lena, Lena this is Kean, Lee Lee, Melton, Tick, and Von," I said pointing towards everyone.
