I was laying across my bed in silence when there was a light knock on the door.

"Come in" I said and in walked monster.

"tt me hungry now" he said and I nodded getting up

Empress was at the school trying to get me and tori in to online schooling.

After I gave monster and Rosey some food I went to tori's room door.

"Come in" she said after I had knocked.

"Hey...you okay?" I asked sitting on the bed beside her.

"I don't know how to answer that" she said and I nodded

"I miss her...so much" I said as my eyes watered

"If I could give esha to get your mom back I would in a heartbeat" tori said and i looked at her curiously,but laid down beside her looking in her eyes.

"What happened to us" I asked and she shrugged. "Life"

"I meant how close we were..what happened" I asked. I mean I know what happened but I feel it's something deeper.

"You had sex with the boy I was in love with and proceeded to try and make a relationship" she said looking at me

"Tori we dated in middle school, I felt like he was my first love...I'm so sorry I let a boy come in between us, we are more than friends now we are family and we have to stick together" I said and she nodded

"What happened" I asked tori again. I can see that something is really eating her alive on the inside. She's not the same tori I was used to.

"I don't want to talk right now" she said turning over, just as the phone started to ring.

"If you wanna talk you know you can come to me" I said then got up to go and answer the phone.

"Hello" I answered

"Wassgood who dis" the person on the phone asked

"Dang, you don't remember your lil sister" I said and he laughed

"Wassgood sis how you been" Eli asked. "Not good my mom died" I said

"What, how" he asked

"This man stabbed her in front of me" I said sadly

"Yo what the fuck, where is empress" he asked

"She's at the school trying to get me and tori enrolled in online schooling" I said

"Tori, wassup with her she there to" he asked and I nodded as if he could see me.

"She won't talk much or come out her room if em not no where around" I said

"Mann I got to get home" he said

"Yea cause I don't know what's going on, everything is just crazy, we all need you to come home brother" I said and he sighed

"Where my babies at" he asked and I called out to monster and Rosey, who came running in the kitchen.

"What" monster said looking at me holding the house phone.

"Who on dat, gimme" he said reaching for the phone.

"Who dis" he asked and you could hear Eli laughing through the phone as they all talked.

I went to clean up the living room, and by the time I was finished monster and Rosey came running back in.

"Yea cause that was me and ro daddy" monster said and I chuckled replying with "I know"
