Devin pov

Once Melody was out the hospital that made everything better and our chance to leave an be with the rest of our family. "Where we going?" Melody asked once she saw the driver passing the stop where our regular house was. "Our new home." I said as she looked at Kira. "So we're moving far away without you even warning us, Dad what about my friends and things at the other house!?" She said as I gave her a new phone, the iPhone Xs max. "All your things is at the new house, we had to move." I said not going into detail as she played on her new phone. "You ready for your meds?" Kira asked her as she shook her head. "That stuff doesn't even do anything, but make me sleepy." She said as Kira nodded. "You just gone let her decide- If she doesn't wanna take it im not gonna force it on her." Kira whispered as I nodded. "Im definitely not staying in a house with yall." Ma said as I chuckled. "Don't worry Ma, we got you your own crib too." I said as she shook her head and started talking to her friend. I still didn't see that nigga as nothing more than a friend to her.

After my uncle Keith took my keys a nigga was bored as fuck. I liked the new house way better, our old house was big but the new house was much bigger because we even had a bowling alley and I got the room In the basement. The first floor was the living room, kitchen, patio to the backyard, bathroom, the theater. The second floor downstairs was the basement, a bathroom, and a living room. The third floor was about 9 rooms and every room had their own bathroom, with the bowling alley. I walked into  Deavion's room and saw him playing basketball. [Deavion's room in the mm] "When is mommy coming back, King im hungry, Is Sarah coming over ?" He asked once he saw me standing in his door way. "You ask a lot of questions" I said as he shrugged. "Wanna order wings and watch IT?" I asked as he dropped the ball. "Yes." he yelled running downstairs.

Hours later

Deavion, Rafeal, and I were midway thru the movie when my mom and pops walked in, We didn't even hear them come in the house. "Why isn't he in bed?" Kira asked as I sighed. "We were watching a movie and he fell asleep- Go take him to bed." Devin said as I got up and picked Deavion up. Once i got upstairs I looked into Melody room as I passed by overheard her on the phone crying. I put Deavion in bed then stopped by her room. "You good?" I asked walking in as she nodded. I pulled her into a hug as she cried harder. "You know Pops gone handle it, he moved us here for a reason."  I said as she nodded. "You want anything?" I asked as she shook her head and laid down. I turnt her lights out as she laid there staring at the walls, This wasn't the Melody I was used to. "Melody sleep?" Devin asked once I walked in their room. "Yeah she didn't want to be bothered so I closed her door."  I lied knowing Melody wasn't sleep, she just wasn't in the mood to talk so I lied saying she was sleep. "What you got going on?" My dad asked as I looked at him weirdly. "Nothing." I lied as Rafeal looked at me. "Spill it- I sold a few drugs for some man name Big T and he found out I was your son." I said as my mom held out her hand. "WHAT, Come on- Hand it over." She said as I groaned and gave her my spare keys and phones. "Be up early 6 am sharp." My dad said as I got up. "This not fair yo- We can make it a month you keep talking!" Devin yelled as I sighed and walked upstairs.

Diamond pov

"Are we done moving?" Janelle complained as I sat Khristain in his crib. "Aye all yall gone lose the attitude." Keith said as I looked at them and got up. "Im going to bed now."  I said starting to walk away before my mother grabbed me. "You oka- Im fine."  I said looking at her then bumping into Janelle purposely then running upstairs. Once I got in bed I called Melody and she surprisingly answered. "You alright?" I asked as she sighed and shook her head. "Im just tired of everybody asking me am I alright, wont nobody tell me what happened and I don't remember most of it." She said as I shook my head. "Its for the best Melody, you wont be able to handle it." I said as I heard my mom screaming my name from the bottom of the steps. "'If you're not gonna help then just leave me alone." She said angrily as I shrugged and hung up. I wish I could but I didn't want to hurt Melody any more than she already was. I walked to the top of the steps and looked down at my mom with my hand on my hip. "What?" I said looking at her as she looked at me and crossed her arms. "Downstairs now!" She yelled pointing at the floor as I sighed and stomped downstairs until I hit the bottom step. I looked at her and gave her a fake smile then walked towards the kitchen. "Lose the- Im going to my Dad's." I said starting to walk out before she pulled me back. "You didn't ask me Diamond, you cant just leave when you want!" She yelled as I looked at Janelle and Keith then back at her. "Why do I have to ask you can I go to my dad house? Now that we've moved things are changing?" I said angrily. "You're my child to- This is crazy." I said going over to the fridge. "What's gotten into you Diamond huh? Is there something you're not telling me or need to tell me?" She asked as I grabbed my bag of food and drink. "I rather have dinner in my "room" I said air quoting room then picking up Princess, our dog then running upstairs

Janelle pov

I shrugged as My mom looked at me. "Have you talked to her? Whats going on with her?" My mom asked as she sat on the table. "We're fine, I guess she's just mad at you I don't know." I said shrugging as I threw my trash away. "Come on Ariaannaa you sleeping with me?" I asked as she jumped off her chair and grabbed her chicken nuggets then grabbed my hand. "Goodnight." We both said before walking out the kitchen. I walked in Diamond room and sat on the edge of her bed. "This isn't my fault." I said looking at her. "You think? I could have got killed Janelle! Why didn't you just tell someone- It isn't that easy, You're mad at the wrong person you should be mad at me, Just don't say anything I can handle it." I said before leaving her room.

Kira and I continued to text each other about our older children problems. They all been acting out for weeks now and I want to know the problem. "Have Diamond been giving Devin a hard time?" I asked as she shook her head. "Nope she's fine over here, I don't know what's her problem over there." She said over the phone as Devin looked at me. "I needa get in her ass too?" He asked as I shook my head. "nah not right now I don't think." I said as he nodded then disappeared. "Well ima call you back. " I said as she nodded. I got up and saw Keith laying on the couch with the twins laying on his chest. I smiled and kissed them all on the head then walked upstairs. "Im coming in." I yelled before walking in Diamond's room. She looked at me then back at her laptop and sighed before closing it. "Whats your problem? Do you not wanna be here Diamond?" I asked as she rolled her eyes and remained quiet. "You're gonna talk- I don't fit in here!" She yelled as I looked at her. "Lil girl you better fix your attitude." I said as her tone of voice changed. "You been so busy with the twins that you forgot about us." She said as I sighed. "Diamond I haven't forgotten about you sweetie with everything that has been going on I- Yeah I know, you been too stressed out to know that your daughter almost died." She said as I hugged her. "I'm sorry baby, When? How?- Doesn't matter I wasn't the daughter they were looking for, you should ask Nelle." She said putting in her headphones as I looked at her confused
