Charlotte looked around looking for her uber. She just hit Miami and she feels like home again. Even though her nerves are kicking in like Jackie Chan kicking through a door. She was running late to Lisa's party but she texted her and told her wussap.

Charlotte found her uber than went in. Drove to her hotel. When she got to her hotel, she ran straight to her room and straight to the shower. She didn't want to disappoint Lisa or was it because she's excited to see Marcus again. Charlotte stepped out the shower than walked to her closest. Now the look?

"Lisa who comin'?" Trey asked Lisa as they walked down the hall. A few people have came but not many. She was praying for Charlotte mostly to come.

"As you can see, my employees, our few friends, family and a special someone" Lisa said taking bubble wine from a waiter who was walking around with glasses off wine.

"Special someone? You must mean Marcus. And no drinking" trey said taking the wine. Lisa rolled her eyes.

"No, not Marcus and what am I suppose to be drinking than?" Lisa asked.

"Water. Who's da' special someone?" Trey asked. Lisa sighed.

"Promise if she's here, you'll act surprised and make sure Marcus does not go near her." Lisa said.

"Wait, it can't be Charlotte cause... It is Charlotte ain't it?" Trey asked. Lisa nodded.

"Me and her have been keeping contract. I tricked her into to coming. Well, I do need her so it's not a trick. See, every time I say I'm going for a business trip. I was going to her. And may I say, she's doing good for herself. She's now a therapist, lives in a cute apartment and she has a boyfriend. Who I don't like at all. Maybe it's cause I like Marcus than him. His j-" trey cut her.

"Yeah whatever." Lisa rolled her eyes. "Tell Charlotte to see me. I'll make sure Marcus won't come near her. Well I'll try." Trey said.

"Good. Plus I invited a lot off people. This house will be so full. His tall ass ain't gonna see her." Lisa said smirking.

"Smart but you also becoming expensive." Trey said walking off. Lisa laughed flipping her hair.

Marcus took long breaths. He got cleaned up, bought a suit, cut his hair. He was ready to try and move on. Like maybe Charlotte did. He walked into Lisa and Trey's party. His eyes moved around and he spotted Flash and Angela in the living room. Shit. He took deep breaths than walked up to them. Angela noticed her big brother coming so she got up and was about to walk away.

"Angela man, stop" Marcus said pulling her back.

"What Marcus?" She turned to face him. "If you wanna apologize please don't. Just know I'll NEVER do anything nice for your bone ass." She said.

"Angela, I'm sorry. I ain't mean to not show up. I just...." Marcus sighed. "I'm lost okay? I've been losing myself ev-"

"Ever since Charlotte left. Marcus I'm your sister. I should be your first. I'm sorry Charlotte left you but you caused this to yourself. You put your hands on her. It's been 4 years Marcus. Can't you just get therapy and grow up. Try better. You've been missing a lot in my life. Just cause you heart broken. My son's second birthday, than Christmas, New year, Thanksgiving, Halloween and my parties. Flash's party, birthdays And more. Just cause you heartbroken. You can't....can not break other peoples hurts. You broke my feelings too. I wanted you there. You acted like daddy towards me." Angela sniffed wiping her tears. "I don't wanna lose another male figure. I can't Marcus. I love you. Mama even stopped talking to me. Us! She's out there Marcus. All you thinkin' about is Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte! She's gone!" Everyone looked at her. "She's GONE because off you!" Angela cried. Marcus wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry okay? I'll do better. I swear." Marcus said rubbing her back. Everyone went back to there business as soon the music started.

"I hate you so much" Angela cried hugging her brother.

"I know. I know. I hate me too." Marcus said.

"Let go off me. I need to fix my make up." Angela said making Marcus let go off her.

"You still look Beautiful" Marcus said.

"Thank you. See that's what I want. Now excuse me. Babe" Angela turned and flash was in the corner crying. Angela groaned. "Flash bring your baby ass over here!" She yelled. Flash put up a middle finger than walked there.

"Stop crying-" Marcus got cut off by a bear hug. "Damn nigga you strong." Flash laughed.

"I do a lot off lift ups." Flash said. Angela rolled her eyes than walked off to the bathroom.

Charlotte's heart was beating so loud. It was Ringing her ears. She texted Lisa she's there. Lisa texted that She'll meet her at the door. A few minutes later Lisa stepped out. Charlotte smiled running to her

"Oh my gosh, I've missed you." Lisa said as they hugged.

"You look so....pregnant." Charlotte said making them laugh.

"You look amazing. Lord that body girl. Your grew a lil thicker though. Those titties, your lips, your eyes oh my gosh Charlotte what happened to you?" Lisa asked

"Thank you. Let me just say that Kelvin knows how to work my body." Charlotte said. Lisa rolled her eyes.

"Mmhmm. The only Trey knows is how to ruin it. I mean this is our second child. Lord knows im-" Lisa stopped talking cause she remembered the miscarriage. "I'm sorry."

"No Lisa. It's okay. I've gotten over it." Charlotte said forcing a smile.

"Well, let's go inside. Angela is dying to see you. I told her you where coming." Lisa said.

"Okay. Uh...I need to breath. Cause I see Marcus's car and I'm starting to panic."

"Shhh, it's okay. Trey promised to keep him 10 feet away from you." Lisa said.

"Okay." Charlotte agreed. But mostly it was his eyes she was worried most now.
