Jayde's POV

I look out my bedroom window and see Oscar and the Santo's backing Cesar into the street

"Ah." I groan in pain as I get off of my bed before walking out of my bedroom and out of my house in only a pair of short sleep shorts and a crop top

"I'm your little brother." Cesar says causing Oscar to spit at his feet as I walk across the street

"I don't know you." Oscar says

"But I'm your blood." Cesar says

"You're not a Santo!" Oscar yells before pushing Cesar causing him to collide with me

"Fuck! Ow!" I yell out in pain as I step a few feet away

"Do you really want me sleeping on the streets?" Cesar asks as I take deep breaths

"As long as they're not ours." Oscar says as I walk back over to Cesar

"Come on, Cesar. I got an extra bedroom." I say as I readjust my arm sling

"Hey." I say as I grab his face and make him look at me

"Fuck him." I say coldly before grabbing his hand and pulling him across the street and into my house

"You don't hate me?" Cesar asks as I close my front door behind us

"Ces.." I say trailing off as several tears fall down his face

"The only person that I blame for that night is Spooky." I say as I walk over to him before engulfing him in a hug

"I got something I gotta handle. I'll text you later." Cesar says as I release him

"Hey, you're more than welcome to stay here." I say with a small smile before I peck his cheek

*1 Hour Later*

A firework pops outside causing me to drop the glass cup I just washed

I'm thrown back into that night and all I can see is blood and Latrelle with the gun and the screams from that night fill my ears

My breathing becomes jagged as I gasp for air and begin to sob before my knees go week and I fall into the floor beside the glass

I cover my ears as I try to block out the screaming and I clench my eyes shut in an attempt to stop seeing it happen over and over again

-Narrator's POV-

Sadie barks repeatedly at Jayde as she has her panic attack

The fireworks come to a halt and all the broken hearted Santo that lives across the street can hear is the blonde dog barking sending him into a world of worry before he hurries across the street and into the unlocked house only to see the girl he loves on the floor struggling to breath

-Jayde's POV-

A familiar warmth engulfs me causing me to uncover my ears and open my eyes only to see Oscar with his arms wrapped around me

"Get off of me." I sob as I push at his chest

"Let me go." I say as I finally get out of his grasp

"Jayde." He says but it comes out as more of a whisper

"Just go, Spooky." I say as I grab the broom

"Mi amor." He says softly as I hear his voice break as I begin sweeping the glass into a pile

"Go, Spooky." I say as I finally look up at him

"And take this with you." I say as I pull my engagement ring off before handing it to him

"Jayde, come on." He pleads

"Go." I say before he turns on his heels and walks out of my house

I let a silent sob as he closes the door behind him

I throw the broom in the floor violently before pushing a chair to the kitchen table over

I grab the bat by the front door

"Ah!" I scream as I swing the bat and connect it with the living room TV

I let out a sob as I swing the bat once again and smash it into the TV one more time as I hear the door open behind me

"Jayde." A familiar voice calls from behind me as I swing the bat again and hit the broken TV

"Jayde, stop." The voice says before arms wrap around me and Jamal, Ruby, and Monse come into view before Jamal takes the bat from me and I melt into Cesar's arms as I continue to sob and soon Monse, Ruby, and Jamal join in on our hug as I slowly calm down

"Guys, I've been hiding something." Jamal admits as we release eachother before falling onto my couch

"Me too." I say

"Me three. I've got nowhere to go." Cesar says

"But you said that your brother was--" Monse starts

"No, I lied. I'm...dead to him." Cesar says cutting her off

"But not to me." Monse says before she kisses him and we all stare at them dumbfounded

"Oh, right. This happened. We've been hiding this too." Monse admits

"We don't care. Ruby and I kissed you first." Jamal says before he and Ruby high five

"You can live with me, Cesar. Besides, I'm basically an invalid anyways." I say as I motion towards my slinged arm

"Thanks, Jay." He says with a warm smile

"Oscar proposed to me." I blurt out

"What?!" Monse asks in a shocked tone

"Yeah, a few weeks before Liv's Quince." I say

"Congratulations, Jay." Ruby says with a big smile

"I gave him the ring back tonight. It's over." I say with tear filled eyes

"She blames him." Cesar states

"It's his fault you were even in the mess to begin with." I state

"Anyway, as I was saying before y'all interrupted me--" Jamal starts

"Well, I've been high...all night." Ruby says interrupting him

"Are you kidding me!" Jamal says softly as he stands up from the couch causing me to let out a small laugh

"Are you...kidding...me?" Jamal says loudly

"I'm literally trying to tell you guys something! Something important! Something monumental! Something that could probably-- No, scratch that. Positvely will...positively change you lives! And y'all keep interrupting me...like some dumb comedy run! What is wrong with you people?!" Jamal yells at us

"Okay! Tell us." Ruby says as Jamal takes a breath and fixes his tie

"No. I'm done." Jamal says

"We'll shut up." Monse says

"You don't deserve to know." Jamal replies

"Please." Cesar says

"Fine. I found the RollerWorld money." Jamal says
