"Daywien." DJ said nicely.
Damien yawned and nodded his head, "Yes?" He asked.
"Where we going?" DJ asked.
"Some place I really don't want to be right now, church." Damien said.
"Oooh." DJ said with wide eyes.
Damien stood DJ up and helped him pull up his little dress slacks. After DJ got his pants on he watched Damien took in his shirt before doing the same. He didn't get the back so Damien had to help him. Damien held up DJ's cardigan so he could put it on. Damien buttoned it up and ruffled DJ's curls.
DJ tilted his head to the side and observed Damien as he put on his blazer. He noticed that Damien was stuck in between sad and mad. It's been like this a lot lately and DJ's worried about his big brother. "You okay?" DJ asked.
"Yeah little man I'm fine. Why'd you ask?" Damien asked.
"Yo face." DJ said.
"It's in my face, little man?" Damien asked.
DJ nodded and squeezed Damien's cheeks, "You want hug?" He asked.
"If I say no you're gonna give me on anyway." Damien said.
Sure enough DJ wrapped his little arms around Damien's neck. Damien kissed his cheek and carried him downstairs. When they went downstairs Normani was lining boxes up by the door. Arin came clean to her about what Derrick's plans were and she read him to filth. She found herself a house and she's preparing to move out.
"I go church Mani!" DJ said excitedly.
"If only you knew what you were getting yourself into buddy. See you later on though." Normani said.
"Okay!" DJ said.
"Alright y'all let's go." Derrick announced.
Normani rolled her eyes and walked in the opposite direction. Damien took DJ out to his truck and strapped him in his car seat. Noelle came out of the house and Damien helped her up into the truck. Barbara, Drea, and Derrick got in their car and followed Damien to the church.
To say things were perfect between Damien and Noelle would be a lie. Noelle's trying to get Damien to open up but he's not doing it. Gwen's tried to spend to with him but he refuses every time. The only people he really talks to are Timmy, Bri, Noelle and DJ. Even Timmy is affected by the deaths of Damien's family members and he's been talking to the pastor about it. He ain't admitting that if he trying but he's going through the grieving process the best way he can.
"You have a therapy session on Wednesday." Noelle said.
Damien scoffed, "You mean my dad and his wife have a therapy session on Wednesday." He said.
"Why are you so against therapy, Damien? It could be very good for you but you don't want to be receptive to it." Noelle said.
"It's a waste of damn time. I got better thing to worry about then talking to a shrink once a week." Damien said.
"Like what?" Noelle asked.
"Worry about you and the baby, work on my paintings, get ready for this art gallery shit I have to do." Damien said.
Noelle rolled her eyes, "You are unbelievable, straight up and fast, or else." She threatened.
"You can keep your damn threats to yourself." Damien said.
DJ poked out his lips and dropped his head as Damien and Noelle argued. Eventually the yelling got louder and DJ covered his ears with his hands. When they pulled up to the parking lot Damien got DJ out of his seat. DJ quickly wiggled out of his arm and ran over to Derrick.
