*Darren*

I was walking around the house looking for Robin. I heard a door shut and followed the sound. I seen him and a little girl walking towards the secrete staircase that leads to the kitchen and the backyard. I found it while I was up one night. I went on my own personal tour. I followed them quietly. Ian neva seen this child in here before. And you see, when white kids pop up outta nowhere some bad always happen. 

I gotta make sure my baby okay. When they got to the kitchen I hid behind the door listening. 

"What do you want to eat? Like real food. Not the junk I leave in that refrigerator." he asked her.

"Can I have some pasta?" her voice was like silk. I didn't like it. 

She gave off this really weird vibe. Robin probably accepted it with open oblivious arms. 

"Okay. Imma make the whole house some. I know Danny's hungry and so is Elle. Darren's probably hungry too. Even though he won't admit it." he said while smiling to himself.

When he turned her stare turned cold. Her eyes went black almost. My head turned and I pushed the door open and walked in. Stupid I know. But I can't leave him here to fend for himself. The girls head snapped towards me and her eyes were a soulless grey.

She smiled at me. I smiled back. Just as fake. 

"Who is this?" I asked.

Robin jumped at the sound of my voice and held his hand over his heart.

"When did you come in?" he asked breathless.

"Just now. Now answer my question." 

"This is Jessica. My dad had her in some room under the library." he explained. 

"Why the hell would he leave a little girl locked in and underground room? That's child abuse." I said. I wanted to laugh but I wan't going to. 

I don't know why but Cameron crossed my mind. It was in a flash. I looked at the little girl. She was staring right back at me with this heated glare. I mugged ha lil ass back. I'll put ha back down there.

I looked away from her, and put my attention on Robin.

He was to damn good to be true. He let me, my brother, and my daughter move in with him. He makes sure we're all fed and shit. He treats the kids like they were his own.

All around he's a good ass person.

So why the fuck his dad treat him so shitty?

It pissed me off to think about how he treated Robin before we got here. And Robin seems unfazed by it. He keeps pushing. Still being a saint.

I don't wanna leave, but I can't live off hin forever. And he can't stay in this hellhole forever either.

"Yo? I got some I need to talk to you about Robin." I announced.

He turned and looked at me with mixed emotions.

"Okay. Ill meet you in the rom." He said I nodded and walked away.

I gave the lil girl one last look before I headed up to the room. She had on a blank look.

I turned and left.

When I got to the room went to check on Danny and Elle. Elle was sleep, but Danny was watching something on youtube.

It looked like makeup tutorials. I sighed and looked at him. He was laying on his stomach facing away from me and more towards the tv that he was watching.

I walked over to him and slowly sat down next to him.

"Are you mad at me?"

"For what?"

"For watching this. I know its not what boys should be doing. But I like them."

"Ian got no reason to be mad at you. Watch what you unless its porn."

He laughed at me.

"I just don't want you to feel like you can't come to me about stuff like this or some else. I'm your big brother, you can come to me about anything." I told him.

He looked at me with this cautious expression. And then bit his lip. Ah shit.

"Anything?" Hr dragged it out.

"No boyfriends." I said sternly. Which made him smack his lips.

I laughed and kissed him on the forehead. Going back into me and Robins room I found him laying on the bed.

"Why yeen come get me?"

"I didn't want to interupt. What do you want to talk about?" He asked.

"Mainly us and living here. We can't stay here forever." I stated.

He tensed up.

"I mean we can't live off you forever baby. Don't panic on me. You comin wit me no matter what. But us living off you gotta stop. We finna graduate. I gotta get a real job. Im pretty sure your dad ain't gonna want us or you here any much longer. And I know how you wanna go off to college and shit. We gone need money fa that. Not tryna be in debt to ya pops my whole life." I finished.

He released a breath.

"Darren, your not living off of me or my dad. I don't want you to feel like your in debt to him or me. I have money put off for me. We will ne fine. I only wanted to go to college so I could get away from here. But now I have you an the kids. Thats all I really want right now." He said.

I bit my lip.

When I get this lucky?
