After coming inside, we all sat in the livingroom. Luna wanted to talk to us. We didn't know what she wanted to say but we were all ears. Samiz hands were shaking so bad. I knew he was livid I could feel his anger beaming from his body. As she started speaking I grabbed his hand and whispered...

"We're going to get through this.. just breathe"

He took a deep breath and we both looked to our daughter.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell any of you.. I just didn't know how because I know how much you all love Zo..."

"Fuck him" Sade blurted

"Please Sade let me finish..."

"Fine..."

"I know you don't want to hear this but he didn't mean to rape me and he's..."

"Are you making an excuse for him?" Adorn snapped

"Adorn quiet. All of you. Let your sister finish what she has to say..."

"Smch" mahadi sucked her teeth

"Nevermind forget it" Luna got up and walked towards the stairs

"Luna baby sit and talk to us. No one is going to interrupt you..I promise"

"I hope y'all heard what your mother just said" Samiz said looking at our daughters with frustration

"Yes dad" they said in unison

"Good" he replied

"Luna please sit and talk to us honey"

"I'm not about to sit here and let all of you judge me and tell me what I should do next. All I need is for you all to be here for me and for you to try to understand what I'm going through..."

"Pfff.." Sade huffed

"We're listening... I'm sorry" adorn spoke sincerely

"Well I'm not... He raped you Luna what do want us to understand?! Rape.. a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse carried out against a person without that person's consent... Sexual assult an act in which a person intentionally sexually touches another person without that person's consent...! He's a fucking monster!"

"MAHADI DIOR HARDING!"

"Sorry mom but I don't give a shit about Zo'mari! Or what she has to say about him PERIOD!"

"Then don't listen I don't fucking care! He never meant to hurt me! he was drunk and he doesn't even remember what he did! You don't know what he's been through! None of you know what he's been through! It's not an excuse for his actions but that doesn't change the fact that he needs help!!! I never said I forgave him! I never said I'm not hurting. I didn't say anything because none of you are trying to listen! What was I thinking... I was stupid to believe I could open up to any of you. Our family is fucked anyway... LOOK AT US!  Mom and dad are basically divorced... Dad's a cheater with another kid... Mahadi you got dumped by the same boy who took adorn virginity basically playing the both of you... And Sade... Tuh hiding a little boyfriend from all of us... Then there's me... The big sister. The strong sister hiding my pain to spare all of you...trying to protect you...AND I STILL HAVE TO DO IT! Fuck this.. just leave me alone all of you"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry luna.." Mahadi stood up calling out to her sister

"Aluna Jomei" Samiz spoke softly as the girls were about to speak. We all looked at him as he wiped the tear that escaped his eye. The room was silent as he spoke..."Do you know why I gave you that middle name..? In Japanese it means one who spreads light.. for all of your life you've been the one that held us together. That bright light in all of our hearts. You've been an amazing big sister, a amazing daughter and an amazing girlfriend to someone who wasn't deserving of your love. We are all feeling your pain baby girl...no it's not easy for us to accept this.. no we're not a perfect family.. No it's not easy to hear.. but we are family and not matter how angry or how upset we all may seem. We love the hell out of you. I love the hell out of you. Every part of me wants to kill him but you're right we don't know him. We don't understand him but for you we'll try... I'll try. I'm sorry for failing all of you as a father and you Delyla.. as a husband. I've made constant mistakes and neglected my family but I won't anymore because we need each other. I need my daughter's to know that no matter what I will stop the world for all of you and that you can talk to me about anything. This is my life in this room right now... And I don't want us fighting anymore... so please.. sit down and talk to us because hiding your pain is hurting you more then letting it out.."
