CHAPTER 8 OF MIMOSA POSTED 
          
          "So, I need everyone to put their notes away immediately." I call out to my students as I stood in front of them. I watch as everyone who was once going over their notes put them away into their bookbags. The heavy stack of papers in my arm is what's going to determine these kid's grade. I went row by row giving the first kid the correct number of papers to pass down to the others within the rows.
          
          "Eyes on your own paper and nowhere else. Otherwise, it will be cheating, and I will have to give you a low grade. I do not want to have to do that. I also do not want to hear any talking what-so-ever." I said walking by my students, who have papers lying face down-blink side up.
          
          Raheem was about to open his mouth to say something. I already knew what he was about to ask so I cut him off.
          
          "If you have to use the bathroom at any time, raise your hand and I will let you go." I announce to my students. Raheem looked pleased with my answer.
          
          "You got rest of the class to complete this test. You now may flip your test over and began. Good luck."
          
          Everyone quickly flips their paper over and went to work. With only the scratching sound of pencils and pens marking the paper, with the occasional sound of something being erased.
          
          I head back to my desk and plopped myself down. I had a whole stack of homework papers that needed to be graded. So, during my downtime I graded each paper one by one.
          
          While I was working, my mind trailed off to la, la, land. I thought about what had happened over the weekend. From going to the club, dancing for some stranger on a pole, getting paid for dancing- to my friends leaving me, then walking home, running into trouble with old creepy men and being saved by Kace. Ever since I met Kace that one time. I haven't really thought about him that much since I had been busy and all. But all of a sudden, he had popped in my mind.

CHAPTER 19 OF LMFATR POSTED- LONG CHAPTER
          
          I walked back over to Zane. I notice his eyes are now open and instead of clear white its now stained pink. He sniffles. Now I am confused.
          
          "Why are you crying?" I asked, looking at Zane like he had grown two heads.
          
          "I am sorry. I should have told you. I just couldn't bring myself to tell you." He pauses.
          
          Okay, what's up with dramatic pause effect? Just fucking tell me already.
          
          "Zane, get to the point." I crossed my arms over my chest.
          
          "Roofus was really old, Alli." His voice cracks. "He passed away when you where in the Hospital. He just couldn't handle living without you. He died of heartbreak. I am so sorry, baby girl. He was your best friend." Tears are streaming down his face. Tears pricks my eyes, I blink them away when Leo comes back. He holds out his arms, wanting me to pick him up. I pick Leo up. placing him on my hip. I can't cry in front of Leo. I have to be strong. I don't want Leo to worry.
          
          "Where is Jinx?" I wondered.

CHAPTER 18 OF LMFATR POSTED 
          
          My face blank and emotionless I knocked on the door. Faded music can be heard through the thick walls. The sliding peephole on the door slams open. A pair of light hale colored eyes with annoyance swirling in them staring back at mine.
          
          "Password." He demanded.
          
          I shifted the bag from my one shoulder to my other. Trying to not roll my eyes at the lame way to get inside the building.
          
          "Poughkeepsie"
          
          The peephole slams shut and the door clicks open. I walk in and was instantly blasted by the aroma in this ratchet building. 
          
           It was something I was used to but now that I am with Allison, the only smell I yearn for is, the smell of a clean house and scented candles.
          
          Within minutes, a headache has appeared. The music is so God awful and extremely loud. The booms and the beat of the music have the walls shaking to the point this lame building could just collapse at any moment.

CHAPTER 17 OF LMFATR POSTED (short chapter)
          
          "I'm sorry about your wife." She said a little above a whisper. Her eyes show pity swirling around in them.
          
          I clench my jaw. Not in the mood to talk about my dead wife. "Well, I am sure you didn't come all this way to talk about my wife. Is there anything you need, Nancy?" I asked calmly, avoiding the unnecessary sympathy, that is no longer needed.
          
          She clears her throat and shifts awkwardly. "Oh yes. I know you may have a lot on your plate right now."
          
          Just get to the point already.
          
          "But um... My oldest son is missing."
          
          I look at her through my eyelashes. "Are you sure he isn't getting into trouble? Drinking? Again."
          
          She shakes her head at me. "No. No, it's not like that, this time. He doesn't drink much or do drugs anymore. He's got a family now."
          
          "So, how do you know if he's missing?" I asked her. I took a seat back into my chair, crossing my fingers together. Feeling a little bit intrigued.
          
          "Because he hasn't answer anyone's text and calls. His probation officer is showing up to my house. Telling me he's got a warrant for his arrest for not showing up for his probation appointments. I am worried." Her voice cracks as tears start to form in her eyes. I grabbed a pen and paper and took notes. Making sure to add every detail as much as possible. I whipped out a tissue out of the tissue box and gave it to her. She thanks me, taking it wiping the corner of her eyes.

I decided to re-post ALL of the chapters of Only Family Matters. I will be keeping them up for a couple of months. The actual book on Amazon is well-edited. I also had added more to the book than the one here on Wattpad. 
          
          I don't have a date when I plan on taking down the chapters so read up yall! Thanks!

CHAPTER 16 OF LMFATR POSTED 
          
          I stared at the little girl in front of me. Her hair short and bangs crooked from cutting them herself. She was crying. Fat heavy tears run down her red stained chubby little cheeks. Her Tinkerbell dress suddenly is now covered in red blood. She is looking down at the ground, shivering. This little girl looks like me, only younger.
          
          I narrowed my eyes at the little girl. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked her, slowly walking up to her. She is like a spooked deer, and I didn't want to scare her. I placed my hand on her shoulder, carefully.
          
          Inhumanly like she whips her head upwards, takes ahold of my arm. I wince as she digs her sharp nails into my skin. Red blood starts oozing out and stared into my eyes. "A dark force is keeping you from remembering. Your body contains a poison that prevents your memories from coming back." Her little girl voice didn't sound like a little girl anymore. It sounded dark and creepy.
          
          "Ah! What do you mean?" I let out a gasp as I try to pull away.
          
          "End the darkness then you will remember. Now wake up!" She screams.
          
          My body jolts awake. I blink a couple of times to clear my vision. How long was I out? The once clear blue sky is now dark and cloudy. It's about to storm. I can feel the small hairs stick up on my arms. The air now had a different smell. The smell of fresh rain laying on the earths ground and metallic from the lighting. The slight breeze of wind starts picking up stronger and faster.
          
          But yet when my eyes scan the yard, Leo is nowhere to be found. My heart begins to thump rapidly. I can feel myself hyperventilating as I push myself up off the chair. Swallowing heavily. "Leo? Leo!" I call out.
          
          I search frantically for my son. I rounded the corner of my house to the backyard.

CHAPTER 15 OF LMFATR POSTED (slightly shorter than usual and maybe boring lol It was all I could come up with at the moment) 
          
          I thought about my life before everything that had went downhill. I was happy. I had my wife. My kids are grown. Charlie is 19 and Mickey is 25. My two beautiful children all grown up. After their mother had died, my children wanted nothing to do with me. They blame me for the death of their mother. For that, they should. I blame myself for the death of my wife every damn day.
          
          Charlie is in collage, studying to be a female doctor or some shit like that and Mickey is starting his own family. Mickey has a little girl and a baby on the way with his soon to be wife. Even though I don't see my kids or grandkids I still keep tabs on them through an app called Facebook. That was our agreement.
          
          I was fine with that.
          
          My wife... She was so beautiful. We met when she first came to town. It was sophomore year, first day of school. When I saw her walking in the hallway all confused and lost. My world suddenly slowed.
          
          My buddies smirking saying, "fresh meat" or "I'mma be getting some of that".
          
          Instead of going along with their typical high school horny jokes like I usually would do. My uncontrollable legs made their way over to the new girl who found her locker, she is putting her books and purse away. Behind me I can hear my friends snickering and whispering. I rolled my eyes at them. It was the typical bad boy, good girl high school scenario in real life.

CHAPTER 14 OF LMFATR POSTED 
          
          "Hello Miss, are you Allison Carnell by chance?" He asks walking back to my porch.
          
          "I am. Who's asking? Did something happen?" I asked wary, crossing my arms, looking at him cautiously.
          
          "I am detective Keith Morningstar. I am investigating your case." He tells me, now leaving me looking confused. This man looks like he is in mid-40's with short dark brown hair and gray eyes. He has a five o'clock shadow coming in on his face. His light-colored pink lip is slightly plumped, and his teeth is slightly stained yellow. He isn't super skinny, but he isn't overweight either. He looks tired and ready to retire. He looks like he had seen some dark and twisted shit from being in the line of duty.
          
          "From when you were in the accident." He quickly clears the confusion in the air. He shifts his stance awkwardly.
          
          "So why are you here now? It's been months." I questioned.
          
          "Well, I tried to get here sooner but I was booked up on other cases, and I also had no contact to get a hold of you. The only information that I had was your address. So, when I found out that you stopped taking your therapy sessions. I wanted to check in on how everything is going." He explained.

CHAPTER 13 POSTED. 
          I thought I have part of the chapter posted in here like I always did. Either I forgot or it had gotten taken down because it is a little dark so to not get into trouble. I will not post this chapter again.

CHAPTER 12 OF LMFATR POSTED ENJOY
          
          "Allison?"
          
          I stop and turn around. I am faced with a woman about my height maybe a little taller than me and about the same weight as me. Her dark brown hair is long, reach down the mid of her back. She has a round face and bags under her blue eyes from being tired. She has a small fat nose with a nose ring. She has a small smile on her thin lips. Her semi white teeth are small and squared. There is a slight gap in between the front top teeth. She looks nervous or shy, maybe even both. She holds a child on her hip. The little girl has blonde hair and is up in pigtails. She is wearing a pink fuzzy coat with brown bear imprinted all over it. Her eyes are blue and her nose is the same shape as her mothers.
          
          The little girl points at Leo. "LeeLee!" She cries out, struggling to get Leo. Leo lifts his head up, suddenly no longer feeling sleepy. Now Leo is trying to get out of my grasp.
          
          "I'm sorry I don't think I know you." I tell her, feeling unsure about this situation.
          
          "I...um heard about the accident. When I heard it was you in that crash. I tried to get a hold of Zane to get more information, but it was quiet. No one knew where you were and were Zane was. It was like you two fell off the face of the Earth. We even drove by your house to check in, it looked vacant. Completely empty. I-I thought you had-" She cuts herself off, her voice cracking.
          
          "I think you got the wrong person." I muttered uncomfortably.
          
          "No, I didn't. We are friends. You and I use to work with each other. We even got relationships, had kids, hung out almost every weekend, we did cookouts, holidays, went on vacation, double dates, our kids play with each other. Do you not remember? It's me, Leah." She looked like she was on the verge of tears. She looked so hurt and broken.
