Fatim

I sat on the porch of Amour's house sipping on some Apple juice, thinking on all of the past events that has occur. It was still heavenly on my mind, but just thinking about it made me feel so disgusted.

I never knew the pain behind a smile or should I say a smirk because Giselle sure did keep one. I wanted so badly get answers from my mother but she's dead along with my father.

I never in my life did I say that Giselle was jealous. I never did anything to make her think that I want her to be jealous of me. For her to watch both her parents get murdered is crazy and I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

But it's crazy enough that my own mama was the one who committed it. It is kind of strange to though, there wasn't any signs but there were times when my parents would argue out of nowhere and I'm assuming it's because of what she did.

I'm guessing that's what Ms. May was talking about or meant when she said my mama made some bad decision. I wondered if she was still alive if she regretted it all and would she apologize to Giselle even if Giselle wouldn't forgive her.

I never understood the reasons behind Giselle's angry and hate towards but now I do.

I grabbed my phone out of my jeans pockets and failed the number Kaiden, my brother, gave me to call when I was ready to talk and right now I'm ready to talk. The line went through but he didn't answer so I called again but still no answer. I decided to text him:

---- Hey it's Fatim, I'm ready to talk when you are. Tomorrow, 6:30 p.m. at the diner we used to go?

I went back inside to see Ms. Maya on the couch sipping on a glass of wine. It was odd because I never seen her drink an acholoic beverage before. I take a seat next to her, resting my head on my elbows.

"What's bothering you?" I ask her.

She looks at me and takes a sip of her wine. "My children."

"You know you can just always go and talk to them."

"They don't want to see me especially Angela."

"I know what you mean, she's very blunt."

Her head snaps towards me as she rose a eyebrow, sitting up straight. "What you talking about?"

"I met her and Ariel. Ariel and Amour look so much alike like there isn't any difference in their physical features." I tell her.

"When? Where? How?"

"I met them almost a week after Amour left. She showed up at school with Ariel and Genesis, I think that's her name. And then I met Angela just last week when that blow up happened."

"What blow-up that happened?"

"I got a text message saying to come to the dinner and then a woman started to harass Innocent, Ariel, Amour and Genesis. She exposed them, she brought up their fathers and their death. She exposed Innocent about the fact that she had a son and he died."

A wondering look across her face was evident. "Do you remember the woman's name?"

I nod. "Yeah, Chante."

Ms. Maya glass of wine slipped out her hand and shattering to the floor. I look down at the ground in shock as she stands up and rubs her hand down her face and begin to pace the living room floor.

"She can't be alive. I thought I had killed her." She spoke, minutes later.

Amour

We were all dressed to impress. The card had told us to come down to this fancy Italian restaurant. We all stood outside of the restaurant preparing for what's to come to next. I felt around my purse to make my gun was inside.

I already knew that X, and Lion were prepared. Daniel had a gun since he already knew how to use it but not much.

I grab ahold of Angela's hand, tighten my grip on her hand as we all enter the restaurant.

"Hello, welcome to K's! Yall must be the Kings?"

We all nodded giving a faint smile.

"Well, I'm Jennifer, your host for this afternoon, please follow me to your table, your guests have been waiting on you."

We all exchanged looks following Jennifer to our table which was a very big table, if I do say so myself, taking our seats.

We soon heard heels clacking against the floor along with footsteps approaching. Out the corner of my eye I can see Genesis gripping tightly into her purse where her gun was but kept her eyes on the menu that the hostess gave us.

"Yall damn sure ain't babies anymore!"

Our eyes nearly popped out its socket at the voice.
