Their Father Asked, Candace looked over at him "Barry's Been Hitting Her." Carol confessed making Loretha snap her at her.

"Could y'all shut up! No He Hasn't." Loretha snapped, Her Father turned to her "LoLo, You Know If Someone's beating on you that you can tell me right?, Even If I liked them I'm not about to stick up for anybody beating my daughter." Joe tells her, She looks up at him and nods "He's still not hitting me." She said, Joe looked her eyes in the eyes and still not believing her but still nodded "Okay.." He sighed before leaving the room.

Candace chuckled making Carol and Loretha turn to her "Whats funny?" Carol snapped, "It's funny how she can hit me but She can't hit Barry..Seems To Me She pretends to be Ms. Tuff Guy." Candace smirks, Loretha just looks at her then sits on the bed "Why you gotta be such a bitch Candace?, There's a difference you are a fucking Female! He's a male!" Carol snapped "Whatever!"

Loretha said, Carol quickly ran over to her and hugged Candace sighed.

"No, I'm not right." Candace said sitting beside her "You are one tough Cookie, Even What I just said was the heat of the moment..I've never been through what you went through but I know you're still here and you're still breathing" Candace tells her, Loretha looked up her "So That Proves to me that you are Ms. Tuff Guy" Candace says smiling nudging her a bit, Loretha let out a small laugh then a sniffle and shook her head "No.."

..It was Dwight, He always popped up at weird times. Sometimes It was creepy. "Dwight, What Are You Doing Here?" Loretha asked as He opened the window and stepped in her room "Came to visit you." Dwight said smiling, Loretha returned a small smile Carol stared at Dwight.

"Woah, What happened to your face?" Carol yelled looking at Dwight's Face, Loretha raised a brow then noticed a Huge Scar On Dwight's Face "What Happened?" Loretha asked him walking over to him, "Uh—" He said starting to look around "What we should be asking— I punched her." Loretha said making his eyes widen "What?" He asked, staring at her shock. "What Happened Dwight?" Loretha asked, He sighed.

"I fought him." Dwight confesses "You did what?!" Loretha shouted.

"He said He—" Carol began to say "I think she heard him." Candace says cutting her off "Then Why She ask what He said, Like She ain't hear him then?" Carol asked, Candace pursed her lips before shrugging. "I don't know." Candace shrugged, Loretha snapped at head at both of them "Who let Lucifer Fight?" Candace asked "Nobody has to let me fight." Dwight spat glaring at her, Candace suck her teeth.

"Nobody has to what?" Loretha asked, making Dwight turn to her and Show A Slight Smile "Nobody has to let me fight, Unless Its you." Dwight corrects smiling.

"Mm..That's What I thought." She said as She sat on the bed next to him, Dwight leaned up and pecked her lips Carol and Candace raised a brow "Y'all a thing?" Candace asked making Loretha scrunch up her face, Dwight noticed it "Uh..No?" Dwight said.
