I watched as they lowered her into the ground, a few tears slid down my face as my heart broke all over again. Despite our disagreement, Laura was someone special to me and I loved her like a sister. I wish we had a chance to really talk things out, and at least come to a mutual understanding, but we can't control what goes on in this crazy world.
Her mom cried loudly, begging God to bring her daughter back. I turned my face into Mekai's chest, not able to bare the sight anymore. He held me close, comforting me quietly.
Who would want to kill Laura? She stayed to herself, and had a good heart overall.

"Thanks for watching the kids, Clint." I said as we entered Mekai's parents' home

"You don't gotta' thank me, I barely see them enough as is." He said giving Kason some more yogurt bites
"I know, but you know y'all always welcome to visit."
"Just call first. She might be a lil' pint up." Mekai added with a sarcastic smile
I nudged him
"I mean we might be busy."
"Yeah, busy getting busy." Joyce added, walking in behind them
"Keep it up, you gone have another lil' mouth to feed." Sylvia added, closing the front door "Where's Cam?" she asked Clinton
"She fell asleep not too long ago. The twins kept crawling on her, so I put her in Mekai's old room about fifteen minutes ago." He said
"Thanks." She smiled while going to check on her
"So how was the service?"
"It was good...unreal, but it was a nice service." I sighed, picking up a whining Kacey "Hey big girl."
I pecked her cheek and chuckled as she began scrunching up her face. "Lil girl" I sucked my teeth and put her down
"Da! DaDa!" she clapped before crawling over to Mekai
"That's sad." I shook my head "You spoil her too much."
He picked Kacey up "You just mad 'cause they won't say mama."
"Boy" I fanned him off, sitting on the mat beside Kason "So, who wants to go out to eat?"
"Uhm, sweetie." My mom came from the back room "Didn't you just eat at the repass?"
"Yeah, so?"
"And you wanna go eat again?"
"At a restaurant?" Joyce leaned against the wall
"A buffet preferably." I rolled Kason's basketball to him, making him squeal in excitement
