The house has been very awkward lately. It's been quiet and a little depressing. It's has been three weeks since my sister got released from the hospital and was able to come home. But when she got home she went straight to her room and hasn't came out since. She will come to the kitchen to eat but won't say anything.

I don't know what happened after the doctor talked to her but it's like my sister isn't there anymore. I don't understand what could of been so bad that made her shut everyone out. I understand why she shut me out but I don't understand how she could shut Nova out. She kept saying she just wants to be alone or she doesn't want to talk about it when someone tried to bring it up.

We got to the point where we try to let her be. When we go out, we still ask her but when she says no or she not hungry, we just accept it and leave her be. Something changed her and when we tried to ask the doctor, he wouldn't say. Kevion even tried to hack into the hospital medical system but when we pulled up her file, it just said surgery. It didn't say what kind. I think she told the doctor to not put it down or something important for him not to.

Today she goes back to work and I'm worried about her. How will she y'all to customers when she won't even talk to us.

I few someone wrap their arms around me from the back. I look down and see Josies small hands and smile. "You okay babe?" She asked and I just nodded. Even though I wasn't, I just didn't want to talk about it.

"Well I'm here when you want to tell me what's really bothering you." She said, releasing me and I turn around to face her and kiss her on her forehead.

"I know, baby."

I haven't seen Keyona in over a month. She was in sleep for almost a week before she woke up. Then she had to stay in the hospital for a week before they released her. I went and seen her the same day she went in.

I walked into that hospital room and with one look at her, my heart broke. I felt this stabbing in my chest.

She was pale and smaller than the last time I seen her and her hair was greasy and messy. She didn't look like Mia Piccola Rovina. She laid in a hospital gown with an IV in her left arm. She had wires on her temple and chest.

She didn't belong here in this hospital and I know everyone is blaming them self but to be honest, this was all my fault. If Brianna didn't say anything about my position in this mafia and she let me tell Keyona, none of this would of happened.

She wouldn't be arguing with her brother, she wouldn't have caught with her and left. She wouldn't have been staying in a hotel and drinking all the time. Yeah, Leo said they had to pick her up a few times because she got drunk in a bar and cause some trouble. They would take her to Josie house and when they wake by bright and early, she would be gone, like she was never there.

Oliver has been helping Santi train some of the newbies and let's just say, he is so upset with himself that he is pushing them harder than ever. Which I have no rejection about. He just not himself and I understand because the one person he was close to, up and left him because of my decisions. Now I'm suffering the consequences looking at how broken Keyona looks and know it's my fault.

I wish I could go back and change everything. I wish I didn't fall for her.

I walked over to her bed and sat down in the chair that was already next to her. I place my hand on her cheek and rub. I needed to feel her soft warm sling but as soon as I touched her, I just left cold. She felt cold.

I was in my own world because I didn't hear nobody come in.

"She will be fine." I turn and look and see Nova standing right there. I look at the clock that hangs on the wall just above her head and ready it said 1:30am.

I look back towards Keyona, "How did you get in here?" I asked her.

"The guards are idiots." She said and I chuckled quietly.

She walks to the other side of the bed and look at at Keyona.

"You love her, don't you?" She asks in just a whisper. I shot my head up and looked at her but she was still looking at Keyona.

I couldn't answer. Because I didn't know what love was or how it feels.

"I see it in your eyes, Daunte. I see how much you love and adore her." She said. Taking her hand and grabbing Keyonas.

"How do you know? Because I don't even know." I said to her.

She looks at me in my eyes, "Because I see the same thing in her eyes when she talks about you." She smiled slightly at me.

I wonder if it was true. I wonder if she did love me. Because if she loved me, why did she walk out?Why did she ignore me? Why didn't she let me explain?

I understand that she was scared but it been months since then and she just ignored my calls and text. Or when she did answer, she would only say a few words to me before she hung up on me. I don't get it. I have only been wanting to talk to her and explain. I never wanted her to be scared or hurt because of me. She already had so much pain in her eyes that I wanted to be the one to take it way, not add to it.

"She won't speak to me. She hasn't answered my calls in a long time and I'm over here feeling a tightness in my chest. I still worry about her all the time and is constantly on my mind." I said quietly.

"True, but who wouldn't act like that after finding out that the man your falling for, kept a huge secret from you. Not just about what he does but about who he truly is." She explains and my eyes darted up to her quickly. "Yes I know who you are, also Leo and Oliver, and no, Leo didn't tell me, a guy called his phone and I answered, he started asking about the drug deal update. I put two and two together."

"Wow. Well did this change your feelings towards Leo." I asked her.

She shook her head. "No, it didn't. But the thing you don't understand is, Keyona has a past and it deals with gangs and mafias. She didn't run because she was upset with you. She didn't run because you lied to her. She ran because she was scared. She was scared to go though what she went though when she was just a little girl. I don't know about the deep shit but I know enough to know that it scarred her. It scarred her deeply. The only person who know every single detail is Oliver. That's why they have such a close relationship. So for them to fall out like this, it's hard to see. But they will bounce back. Keyona just needs time."

I looked towards Keyona. I wanted to know everything about her, I wanted to run a background check on her but I knew it would only make things worse. I wanted to wait for her and I will continue to wait for her until

She was ready.

"Leo just texted me. He seen I snuck out. So Him and Oliver are on their way to come pick me up. I think you should leave before they get here." She said.

I just nodded my head. I looked toward Keyona, leaned forwards and gave her a soft longing kiss to the forehead. I pulled back and took a deep breath, grabbed my jacket and put it on. I looked at Nova one last time and gave her a small smile. I started walking out the door when she said one last thing.

"Just give her time. I promise she will come around."

With that I shut the door and walked to my car. I got in and sat there. Looking at myself in the mirror. I needed her and I'm going to get her.

I drove home and took a quick shower. Once I was done, I wrapped the towel around my waist and headed towards my closet. I grabbed some boxer and some black sweats. I put them on and laid on my bed.

My mind drifted straight to Keyona and the words Nova told me, kept replaying in my head.

'She didn't run because she was upset with you. She didn't run because you lied to her. She ran because she was scared. She was scared to go though what she went though when she was just a little girl.'

What did she mean? I needed to know. I wanted to ask Oliver but it would just come with a lot of questions as to why I wanted to know.

About 30 minutes later I was about to fall asleep until I heard my door bell ring.

I sit there and ignore it. But then I hear it again. I look at my clock and see it read 3:50am.

"Who the fuck is knocking on my door at 4am?!" I yelled. I get up and head towards the door and when I am almost to the door, I hear the bell again.

"HOLD THE FUCK ON! IM COMING!" I pull it open wide and my eyes look at the person who is standing there.

.

She standing there in a huge trench coat. I shake my head.

"I thought I told you to never show your face around me again." I told her.

She looks at me. "I know but there's something you need to know." She starts to pull the tie apart from her waist and I stop her.

"Don't you dare. I don't want to fucking know. I need you to leave my fucking house! Now!" I was about to slam the door in her face until she said "Its not that! Look!" I open the door wide and look at her. I trail her body until my eyes land her round belly. My eyes go wide.

Fuck No! This can't be happening right now! You got to be shitting me!

"Your pregnant?" I say in a whisper. "And it's yours." She says and my heart sinks to my stomach. This is a fucking joke! I ain't touched her in forever!

"I want a DNA test." Was the first thing that came out my mouth. Her eyes wides and then she quickly got herself together.

"That's fine. We can go to my doctor, have an ultrasound so you can see out child and do the DNA test." I shook my head quickly.

"No, we going to my doctor." She smirks and nods her head. "That's fine with me and when you find out this is your child, you will be a man and take care of us!" She said.

I just shut the door in her face and called my doctor. I told him about what's going on and he said he can do it. I told him to come tomorrow so we can get it over with.

After I hung up, I walked to the kitchen and opened the top cabinet on top of the stove and pulled out a bottle of whiskey. I was going to pour me a glass until I stopped and looked at the bottle.

"Fuck this." I said and popped open the lid and brung the whole bottle to my mouth and let the burn come down my throat.

After I was done with the bottle, I suddenly felt this anger come out of nowhere and I smashed the bottle against the wall.

This can't be happening to me.
