"could y'all stop talking I'm tryna listen" MJ said before laughing "Naw I'm just fuckin wit y'all this shit mad boring. My graduation was the best. I was high as a bitch"
"I remember" Ryan's dad said and we all just looked at him sideways
He agreed to pay for the road trip stuff. He got a big house in Atlanta for us along wit renting cars and shit.
He was bring his whole damn family
"So" Rico said "what college y'all got"
"LSU" I told her
"Y'all just gonna leave us like that" Bryan said with his fake tears
"That's the school that's giving us a full ride" Ant told him
After watching the ceremony on the tv we went outside to take pictures
"Ryan move your ass over" my dad said and I pulled her closer to me
"Take the pictures so I can take this damn thing off" Ant said
They took a lot of pictures and then Ryan dad looked at her
He handed her an envelope. "You don't have to open it now but I just wanted to give it to you."
Ryan give him a fake ass smile and took the envelope
"Ryan your brother here" Bobby said and we turned around to see Brandon and there grandma coming to us
Ryan smiled and gave her grandma a hug
"I'm so proud of you baby" she said and I looked at MJ
"She on a treatment. It helps her sometimes and sometimes it doesn't" he said and I nodded
Fats walked over and took pictures of them
2 hours later 4:30
Everyone has went home so that they could finish packing there stuff. We leave on Monday which should be fun
Ryan was sitting on the bed in our room
"You ok" i asked her and she nodded "Talk to me"
She ain't say nothing just sat there. I sat on the bed beside her and pulled her towards me
I grabbed her hand but she pulled away from me. I sighed knowing exactly what she was doing
"Ryan I'm just tryna help but I can't help you is you not gonna talk or even try to communicate with me" I told her grabbing her hand again and when I turned it there were new cuts on her wrist
I let go and walked out of the room and went into ty room
"What" ty asked when I opened his door
"Bobby come here" I said and he got up and walked out the door
"What" he said following behind me back to my room. Once we got in the door I pointed to Ryan "show him"
She just looked at us. "Y'all got me a surprise. But today's y'all lil day you can give it to me tomorrow" he said
"No. Ryan show him" I slightly yelled and Bobby looked at me confused
I walked over to her and forcefully grabbed her hand and showed him the new cuts on her wrist
I looked at Bobby how was staring at her wit tears in his eyes ready to cry "Ryan"
I left out of the room and went into my dad's room
"Boy if you don't get your ass out my room" he yelled
I walked over to him and hugged him. I felt his arms wrap around me as I cried in his arms.
"What's wrong" he said softly sitting us on the bed while I still held on to him
"I can't leave her" I told him "I can't. If I leave her she might leave everyone."
"What do you mean" he asked me and I pulled away and wiped my tears away "she's been cutting her wrist and I think if I leave she gonna kill herself."
"Fuck" he said standing up
We walked out and into my room. Ryan and Bobby were sitting on the bed hugging each other
"We going to your therapist office tomorrow before we leave. And you starting back on the pills." My dad sad to her "what were you cutting yourself wit"
She pointed to the bathroom and we went into the bathroom and my dad started looking around.
He saw that she had a pack of razors under the sink
He grabbed them and we walked back out.
"We about to set some new rules and you really about to hate me" my dad said. "Toni Ant and Tyrone bring y'all asses in here" he yelled and they soon came in
"Everyone sit down" wit that we all sat down. "We setting some rules. Ryan ain't aloud to do nothing by herself. I don't care who's wit her she can't do nothing by herself.

With that we all go up and hugged him. "I just wanna say I'm happy to be apart of the family as a member and not the best friend" ant said hugging everyone tightly
"Don't think I'm not still gonna kick your ass" my dad said laughing "and I mean everything I said about Ryan not being alone."
We all pulled away and I looked at Ryan who didn't even look at me.
"We also gonna work on talking Ryan. I know it's something we've been working on but we gonna start pushing on it harder. For the better" he said to her and she nodded
"Can I sleep wit you" Ryan said to Toni and she nodded "ant you staying in here"
