MAISIE'S POV
It has been awhile since my dad messaged me back. I hope he's okay. I'm worried about him. He's my only guardian. Moving on, I'm still living with Rio. His mom and his little brother, Nick is so nice to me.
"AYE SCARLET", yelled Rio from the living room. I then entered into the lovely living room and asked him what's wrong. He then says it's my dad on the news. "What happened? Is he okay?", I said worriedly.
"He's dead", Rio said to me with a sad face. Tears than ran down my cheeks and I started to sob. Rio then hugged me and said "It's okay". It's never going to be okay. I love him and he was all I had. I then was curious where was he found dead.
"At a strip club that he owned for quite sometime", he said. I then remembered he owned one. The club was pretty popular. I became mad at the world. Mad at myself for leaving him at a home that seemed vacant without me. I couldn't stop crying. I kept repeating "It's all my fault", until I fell asleep in Rio's arms.
Rio then turned off the tv with the remote, put a blanket over me, and he watched me until he fell asleep. A few minutes later, I got up and went to the bathroom. When I entered the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and saw my nose was red from crying.
I begin to look in the bathroom for a razor. It was hard to find one at first, but I remember I brought my razors with me. I brought one with me and started to cut my thigh with the dull razor. I winced a bit and saw the blood begin to appear. I started bawling out again. I fucking miss my dad and I'll do anything to bring him back alive.
I then laid back on the couch and stared at the ceiling. He really is gone. I can't bring him back. Is it my fault? This is so surreal. Please Lord, let this be a nightmare. My eyes begin to close and I fell asleep.

Rio's POV
Before I could open my eyes, I saw sunlight. I can't believe it's morning. Last night seemed like a scare for me and Maisie. I then felt something heavy on my chest. Before I can push, I opened my eyes and it was Maisie's big head.
I carefully put her head on a pillow and went to the bathroom to shower and freshen up. I closed the door and looked in the mirror. I soon repeated in my head, "You have to be here for her. She has no one else in her life". Felt like the my Uncle Jimmy was talking to me. R.I.P to him.
My uncle died from a gunshot wound to his head. He was then rushed to the hospital and he was soon pronounced dead. I loved that man. He was a father figure to me when my dad left me, my mom, and my brother years ago. When I begin to look back to the past I shook my head and showered.
I got out the bathroom and I saw some weird substance in her mouth that looked like she may have thrown up and tears. I ran to her and said, "MAISIE! NO!"
She started to cry even harder. She begin to open her mouth, but words didn't form. I told her to tell me what's wrong. She started to struggle and stutter between her words. She said, "I don't wanna be here anymore. I have no purpose here Rio".
I hugged her and gave her some ginger ale to make her feel a bit better, since she threw up whatever she was trying to digest. I now gotta watch over here and get everything that can be harmful out of her sight. I don't want her to feel this way.
Maisie's POV
Everyday seems longer and darker without my dad. I tried to end my life when Rio was showering. My body was like yeet and the pills came back up. I knew Rio would be mad. I love Rio, but it's like I'm carrying a burden on me. I went into the bathroom and showered.
When I got out the shower, Rio then suggested we watch Netflix. He then chose The Last OG and we just binged. After a few minutes, I told Rio thank you for helping me. He then held me closer to him and I tell he is happy I'm here with him.
I then heard the door opening and it was Rio's mom coming home from work. She always says hi and she often check up with me to see how I'm doing, because Rio told her what had happened to my dad. She then asked me if I wanted to go to the salon to get my nails done and I'm like sure cause why not. My feet look a bit crusty, so why the fuck not.
Rio's mom paid for my appointment. I got a full set of acrylics and my feet done. The color I chose for my toes were white and my for my acrylics I chose soft white. Pretty colors to me. When we left, I told her thank you and she nods. She then was gassing me up. Like "That color is so nice" and all of that.
When then got into some small talk. She asked me if I still have feelings for Rio. I nodded. I then spoke and said "I just wanna take it slow for right now". She then told me how Rio feel about me which made me a bit better and how she loves me as if I was her own. She is a nice lady and she's pretty open about mental health and relationships.
We pulled up to the house and went inside. Rio was playing 2k with his brother. I then walked into the room and Rio screamed "AND ONE!" I then laughed. Rio's brother said, "You a whole cheater, light pole built ass". Rio walked out and I told him I need to talk to him.
We then went in his room. He closed the door and I told him how I've been feeling. I told him I have feelings and he said he feels the same. He then looked at my lips and we had a whole make out sesh until his mom came in.
She then said "THATS MY GIRL!". Me and Rio laughed and we kept going. Until his mom came back and said "just know I don't want any Rio's and Maisie's running around. But the food ready tho". We then left the room to go eat.
