"Maurice are you serious?" I asked agin in disbelief.

He groaned "Stop being so damn dramatic. It ain't that big of a deal."

My eyes got wide "Obviously it is because you kept it a secret for a reason."

He shrugged "It was a mistake. I can't do anything about it now."

I looked at him like he was crazy and copied his shrug "Your stupid. Do you think that's okay."

"Miracle I get it" He said honestly. "Do you really?"

"Well that's my answer. I don't want to be in a relationship right now anyway."

I rolled my eyes "That don't make no damn sense. Why would you just make that decision and not think of the repercussions."

He groaned and ran his down his face "This is exactly why I ain't wanna tell you. I knew you'd make a big deal."

"What did you expect me to say? Like that's a honest question."

"I don't know." He stood up "I gotta go. Don't tell mom alright"

I chuckled "Your really tripping. Get outta my face." I waved him off.

He chuckled and kissed my cheek. "Love you" He smirked. I rolled my eyes and he left.

Maurice was taking this as a joke but I honestly didn't think it was funny. He knows how much my mom raised him to respect women and treat them right. Then he decides to cheat on his girlfriend like that's okay. Who the hell even does that.

I sat on the couch on my phone when the front door opened. I slightly looked over and saw Jalen. Jalen has still been having a hissy fit since the baby thing. I don't even understand why he was making a big deal out of it.

"Wassup crybaby" I chuckled. He smacked his teeth "Wassup queen indecisive" he put his bag down on the floor.

"Don't just leave your stuff there." I turned around at him. "Come make me pick it up" He snarked.

I rolled my eyes and turned back around "Right" he said. "Can you stop being a little baby already. It's getting old" I said looking at my phone.

"Can you make a decision" he snatched my phone out my hand. "Jalen really? Was that even necessary" I rolled my eyes and tried to snatch my phone.

He moved the phone "Jalen" I said trying to keep getting it. "Stop playing with me" He said not giving me my phone.

"Ugh. Just irritating" I walked past him,to the kitchen. "Miracle. I'm talking to you" he followed me.

"I'm listening" I opened the door to the fridge. "Kids" He said. I turned back around "That's a broad topic. What about kids?" I asked.

He made a face "Are you trying to be funny?" He asked. I slightly laughed "Your so mad. But for what? You act like I said I didn't want kids"

"That's what I'm asking Miracle. Do you want kids?" He leaned on the island.

"No" I said. "Miracle" he looked sad. I started laughing. "I'm joking. I do. Only like two thoe" I took a sip of my Gatorade.

He smiled and walked towards me to pull me into a hug. "Look you were being a moody baby for no reason" I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He buried his head into my neck and laughed. "I know. I was being emotional" he looked into my eyes.

"Mhmm" I said while playing with his hair. "Kiss?" He puckered his lips at me. I grabbed his chin and pecked his lip.

"Love ya" He said and kissed my cheeks. "Love you too boo boo" I hugged him tighter.

"Kamryn stop moving." Aaliyah told Kamryn as Kamryn cried and Aaliyah did her hair.

She cried "I don't want my hair done" she cried. "Kamryn. Your not going to walk around looking crazy" she told her.

"Can I sit in Daddy's lap" Kamryn asked in a cry. "No. That's what we're not doing. If you just sit still you'd be done" she said.

I shook my head and laughed. "Come on mooch be still. After your done I'll go get you some ice cream."

She sniffled and tries to be still. "You always bribing her." Aaliyah shook her head. "It work didn't it." I laughed and got up since the doorbell rang.

As I walking to the door, the doorbell rang again. "Coming" I slightly jogged to the door.

I opened the door to Danielle "Danny? What you doing here?" I asked her.

She looked like she was crying. "Why are you crying?" I asked. "I have to tell you something" she said in a sniffle.

"D who at the door?" Aaliyah asked walking up to the door with Kamryn on her hip. "It's Danny" I said as she got in the door frame.

"Ohh. Great" she rolled her eyes. "Aaliyah. Didn't I tell you about that. Danny gotta tell me something. Give us a minute" I told her.

"Mhmm" she scuffed and walked away. "Back to you. What?" I asked Danielle.

"I wanted to tell you but I didn't know how to." She dragged on her words. "Danielle just say it" I was starting to become impatient.

"I'm pregnant" she blurted out. I didn't really know what to say "Congratulations" I said hesitantly.

I don't really know what Danielle wanted from me, she's older than me and I don't really have control over that. She a grown ass women if she pregnant then she pregnant.

She sniffled and wiped her tears, I was confused on why she was crying. "Why are you crying? Ain't you happy?" I asked confusedly.

"I am. But I need some money to help me get on my feet." I groaned. Danielle always wanted money from me.

"So what you thought. You could come to L.A and I'd just give you money?" I asked.

She stayed quiet "I'm not going to just give you money. I'll give you a job but I don't just hand out cash." I said honestly.

"But bubba" she pleaded. "No danny. Dont bubba me. Take it or leave it" I said sternly.

"Fine." She said with an attitude. "Thank you" she flashed a small smile. I shook my head and smirked. "Come here" I pulled her into a hug.

I loved my sister to death but she needed to learn to grow up. Aaliyah was right she depended on other people to much and she didn't know how to grow up. She was older than me and now that she's pregnant it's time for her to get her life in order.

Me,Nas,Prince,Wolf And Ariana were all at the mall. "Ariana. When you gonna just let me lay it down" Wolf asked Ariana.

"Mhmm how about the year of two thousand never"she pushed his head away from her.

We all laughed "That's what you call a curve. Young brotha" Prince laughed.

"Prince please tell me the last time you've even got the opportunity to even get curved." Wolf said.

Prince looked at him and waved him off. "He can't tell you. Nobody even gives him the time of day" Nas added.

"Y'all sound dumb as hell" prince said. We all laughed at them. "Y'all annoying." I said shaking my head.

"Mel" Ariana tapped me. "Yea" I turned to her. "Ain't that your dad over there?" She asked pointing at my car.

"Ugh." I huffed. "What the hell does he want?" I said lowly.

"What?" Christian said. "Nothing" I turned to him. "Who is that Mel?" He asked pointing at my car.

"No one Christian. Y'all just go to your house I'll meet y'all there." I told all of them.

"Ariana your riding with me" Wolf yelled. She laughed and followed him to the car. "We'll be at the car Christian" Nas said.

Christian nodded his head and Nas and Prince walked to his car. "Mel. Why you shutting me out. Who is that?" Christian pleaded.

"Stop" I rubbed his face. "I'm not trying to shut you out. I promise. I'll explain later alright"

He stared in my eyes "Trust me. Alright. Please" he nodded his head. "I gotchu"

He puckered his lips, I looked at him and pecked his lips. "I'll see you a min" he nodded his head and pulled up his joggers as he walked away.

I mentally prepared myself. "Melody" he said as I got closer to him. "Andrew?" I questioned.

I crossed my arms "Are you stalking me now?" I asked. He chuckled "cute. But I have better things to do then to stalk a nineteen year old girl."

"Mhmm" I smirked sarcastically. "What do you want?" I asked bluntly.

"Have you talked to your mother lately?" He asked. "No" I shook my head. "Not since the accident. Oh I'm fine by the way. Thanks for asking" I said sarcastically.

"Oh trust me I can see that by the way your locking lips with some wanna be thug." He smirked. I rolled my eyes "Anyways. Your mother has been trying to get in contact with you" He said.

"Alright. Well I've been busy. Your beating around the bush. What is this about?" I asked getting irritated.

"Your mothers sick." He said. My heart dropped and I was becoming a little nauseous. "Say that again?" I asked.

"She has cancer. Stage two breast cancer" he said with his voice getting softer. "Oh my god" I felt a tear drop.

"She's wanted to tell you in your brother. She doesn't know I came to talk to you" he continued.

"What the treatment plan. Where is she?" I asked. "She's in the hospital getting chemotherapy and if that doesn't work. They're going with plan B. She's fine right now"

"Wow." I said quietly. I was honestly in disbelief about it all. I felt bad and guilty. No matter how much I was mad at her, I loved her with everything.

I never wanted anything to happen to her. She was honestly my queen and my world. I don't know what I would do if she died. I needed to see her and apologize.

"Thank you" I said dryly. "I know we don't have a good relationship. But go see your mother she'd appreciate it"

I nodded my head and he smiled and walked off. I unlocked my car and just sat in the drivers seat for a while. Just thinking.

I finally started my car and drove over to Christian house. Nowadays I was over at his house more than I was over at my own.

I was planning on moving out of Aaliyah's house very soon. I was just waiting to get my coins up and then I would be gone. I appreciated everything she's done for me and her helping me when my own parents wouldn't.

But it was time for me to leave and make a name for my self and own life. I'm nineteen and at this point I'm ready to grow up and do something with my life.

I rung the doorbell of his house. Christian opened the door. "Why you look like that?" He asked me.

"Can I talk to you?" I asked as I walked further in the house. "Yea. We'll talk in my room" he said.

I nodded my head and followed him to his room. I walked past the living room and saw Ariana and Wolf on the couch cup caking and Nas and Prince on they phone.

"What happened" Christian asked as he closed his door. "You know the lady that was at the hospital the day of the accident. And you asked me who she was and I said no one"

He thought for awhile "Yea. I have a brief memory of that. Why?" He asked siting next to me.

I huffed "Well she's my mom and we have some issues that I don't really wanna talk about right now. But I found out that she has cancer. That guy is my stepdad and he just told me" I said in a mellow tone.

"Mel. I'm sorry." He pulled me into a hug. "You can talk to me about that sort of stuff. I want you to let me in Melody" he lifted my face to look at him.

I felt myself crying "I know." I said lowly and he wiped my tears of my face. "Life's to short to have unanswered questions" I said sitting up.

"What are we? Like are we dating are we friends like..." I stopped waiting for him to answer the question.

He smiled "Your mine. I'm yours. So yea we dating" I smiled. "Come here" He pulled me into a hug.
