---Justine's POV---
As Mark's casket lowered to the ground, I looked over at my wife and grabbed onto her hand.

"I know it's hard Ro." I stated.

"It doesn't get easier." Ro stated. "It never will get easier." I looked back to the casket.

"Ro?" I asked. "What will you do when I die?"

"If I'm alive," Ro replied. "I'm not sure. I'll be heart broken, that's a fact." I sighed. I'd be heartbroken too Ro or Sabrina died before me. The two of them are my everything. Once the people started burying Mark's casket, I took Ro's hand and we walked to the car. Sabrina went to hang out with Lucas after the funeral, not something I approve of. Ever since she was 13 and started getting into boys, I started getting protective. Sabrina doesn't have a dad, so that has become my role. So, whenever I see Lucas, I tend to get passive-aggressive with my words. I didn't want to see her go through what I went through when I was around her age. Shame and embarrassment. She's my daughter, can you blame me? I for my weekly visit with my parents. I dropped Ro off at home and made my way to their home. I entered the key pad number and walked in.

"Hey mom," I said. "Hey dad." Dad looked up. Mom was asleep.

"Hey Justine." Dad stated. "How was that funeral?"

"Sad." I replied. I sat down across from dad.

"Where's Ro and Sabrina?" Dad asked.

"Ro is at home," I stated. "And Sabrina with with Lucas." I rolled my eyes.

"I saw that when you said his name." Dad said. "Rolling your eyes. I know you don't want her dating that boy."

"How did-?" I began to ask.

"That was me when Bre started dating Bryan," Dad stated. "And when you started dating Ro, and when Jenna started dating Mike. The three of you are still my daughters no matter what. I can tell you if he hurts her, you will be ready to pounce."

"Really?" I asked. "You got all that from an eye roll?"

"It's a parental thing." Dad stated. "Traditionally paternal, but since you have that roll of the man of the house, you have more a paternal instinct rather than maternal like Ro has. Trust me, I've been down that road with you."

"You've like the people I've dated." I stated.

"I didn't like that Tatyana girl." Dad stated.

"Does she really count for anything?" I asked.

"She humiliated you." Dad stated. "Forced you out of the closet. You weren't ready to tell your mother and I, but had to. I wouldn't of allowed you two to date if you came home and said she was your girlfriend." I raised my eyebrows. This was out of character for dad. Mom suddenly woke up and looked over at me.

"Hello Justine," Mom said. "How are you dear?"

"Hi mom." I stated. "I'm okay. Just came to visit." I talked with my parents until their nurse came in and I had to leave. I said goodbye to my parents, then made my way home.

---Ro's POV---
Justine enters the house and sighed. I look up from the book I was reading.

"Justine?" I asked. "What's wrong?"

"I may of got hit by a truth bomb." Justine stated.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You know how I've been towards Lucas." Justine stated.

"You sat between him and Sabrina once at dinner." I stated.

"What parent wouldn't?" Justine asked.
