"I got a new truck." Damien sang as he walked back into the house.

A tiny bit of good news in Damien's life. Ron kept his promise and got Damien a brand new truck. Since Damien was a little boy he's wanted a black Chevy Silverado with black rims and Ron made it happen for him. Damien wouldn't care if his dad didn't get him anything for Christmas because this truck is enough for him.

Damien and Noelle's plan to go off the grid is in full effect. Ron has a lake house and he's gonna let Damien use it for awhile. This time away from everything will definitely allow then to unwind and regroup themselves. Noelle just wants to get away from her family because those bastards are stressing her out, especially her sister. She's about one bad words away from choking the hell out of Normani.

Barbara was looking out of the window when she saw the big black truck pull in the driveway. Damien hopped out and walked into the house. He walked into the living room and picked Noelle up and spun her around. "There's my beautiful girlfriend." He said.

"Baby you got a new ride." Noelle said.

"Yep and we're gonna take it for a spin this weekend. You packed up and ready to go?" Damien asked.

"Yes!" Noelle said excitedly.

"Well let's go then." Damien said.

"Okay!" Noelle said.

Damien picked up their bags and carried them out to the truck. Barbara and Drea had to be nosy and see what the interior of the truck looked like. "When are you gonna take me for a ride, boyfriend?" Barbra asked.

"As soon as we get back mama." Damien said.

"Ima hold you to that now." Barbara said.

Damien gave Barbara a hug and kissed her in the cheek. "I got you mama." He said.

Noelle double checked to make sure she had everything she needed before climbing into the truck. Damien got into the truck and brought the engine to life. He took out his phone and started dialing a number. "Who you calling babe?" Noelle asked.

"My mom, I gotta let her know..."

Damien realized what he said and put his phone into the center console. He had to step out of the truck for a minute to compose himself. It's so unfair what happened, Lauren will be able to see her parents and call them up. Damien can't call his mom up to hear her voice or get a home cooked meal. There's all these little moments that Damien isn't gonna get with mom because she's gone.

It's just not right.

Damien got himself together and climbed in the truck. Noelle leaned over the console and gave him a kiss. "Ready?" Damien asked.

"Yeah I'm ready." Noelle said.

Damien backed the car out of the driveway and took off away from the plantation. Barbara was grinning hella hard because she may have found the fish that's been in her dream. What's the fish dream? Well in black culture when a woman a woman dreams about fishes someone in the family is pregnant it gonna get pregnant. Some people think that's just superstition but there's actually some truth behind it. Anytime Barbara dreams about fish someone she knows pops up pregnant.

Noelle propped her feet up in the dash and enjoyed the scenery as they drove around. Noelle had no idea where they're going they just knew that they were going somewhere and they were gonna have a good time. Damien pulled over to a little bait and tackle shop on the side of the rode and took a twenty out of his wallet. "You want something baby?" He asked
.
Noelle looked at the little shop and scrunched up her face, "Nah I'm good." She said.
