Thinking outside the box

Kylo
.........

I woke up still fully clothed besides T, her hair was tied up and I pulled her curl straightening it before letting it bounce back into place. Soon she began waking up and rubbing her eyes. She blinked before smiling looking at me.

"Merry Christmas" she smiled

"Merry Christmas talia" I ran my fingers through her hair

Soon Jay woke up and I actually started playing with him within half an hour while talia got dressed. He ran his cars on my leg and I laughed a little, I was a dad. He was half of me and half of talia. She was only 15. Her mama walked through the door unexpectedly and I jumped to my feet, my mouth opened slightly tryna find the words to say.

"Your alive" she walked closer to me

"Merry Christmas Mrs Red" I nodded

"Merry Christmas kylo" she smiled

Talia's parents didn't celebrate Christmas but talia seemed to, everybody was heading to my place. Her mama walked up the stairs politely smiling. I sat upon the couch before I heard footsteps coming down. It was talia.

"You ready ?" I stood up

"Yeah, but jay's tired, I think I'll pick him up later" she shrugged

I opened the front door for her because she shouted bye to her mama. The Main Street was decorated well and if I was honest I was surprised . I walked down the street holding t's hand. She acted casual about it, I liked it. We walked for a couple more minutes before I opened the door with my fresh house key finding diamond and chresanto sitting on the couch. Diamond had on Christmas pyjamas causing me to laugh a little while her man just had a white shirt and track pants.

"Hey guys" diamond smiled

"Merry Christmas" I kissed her cheek

"Thanks boo" she laughed

"Nice to officially meet you kylo" Chres shook my hand

"You too" I smiled

"Where's Tyler ?" Talia asked

"He's out, said he was gonna see a friend" diamond replied

"Kylo give me a hand sweety, I forgot what if felt like to say that" mama laughed in the kitchen

I walked into the kitchen bending slightly as the doors were slightly low for my height. I kissed her cheek before she pointed outside into the garden, I spotted chresanto sitting alone on the porch. I went outside.

"You alright ?" I asked as he smoke a blunt

"Nah" he shook his head

"What's up man ?" I sat beside him

"My dad had a heart attack, he died this morning" he looked at me his eyes watery

"Sorry to hear" I nodded

"Thanks" he kept his head low

"Ay ky we're about to open presents" diamond appeared carrying ruby

I looked at her with a slight smile admiring the beautiful young lady shed become. I couldn't believe she'd done it all by herself, I was even surprised at the story with her and chresanto, but she seemed to care about him a lot and I couldn't help but thank him for taking care of my little sister.

Diamond
...............

My smiled dropped slightly as ky gestured me to come to Chres, he got up patting his back and whispering in my ear what was going on. I passed ruby to him before I sighed at his words, just cause he father had done some bad shit but he was close to him ever since he was a little boy. I walked before sitting besides Chres.

"I'm sorry about your dad Chres" I spoke quietly

He gazed at me blank before sighing and putting out his blunt.

He put his arm around me weakly before I wrapped my arms around his torso and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt him sniff before looking up at him seeing a tear slip down his cheek.

"Don't cry Chres, You'll make me cry" I wiped away his tear with my thumb

"I'm sorry baby" he wiped his face

"I think your allowed, how many times have I cried into your chest" I laughed

"True" he said blank

"Imma leave you alone" I got up thinking he just needed some time

"Nah diamond stay" he held me tighter

Tyler
.........

I walked with my hood up not liking the breeze, until I heard my name being shout over and over across the road, I turned to see candy smirking. I crossed the road before hugging her merry Christmas. She looked even prettier then usual.

"Don't you got family ?" She asked

"Yeah imma just see a friend quick" I nodded

"That's cool" she understood

"What about yours ?" I asked

"On my way to see my grandma" she smiled

"What about yo parents ?" I asked

"They left when I was a little girl" she held her head low

"Look your welcome to come to mine iyte" I put my arm around her waist

"Thanks ty" she smiled

I kissed her cheek goodbye before turning right opposite to her. The friend I was going to visit wasn't really a friend. It was link. I'd found out that he'd been the one to take care of ky and I was greatful for that. I knew he'd be at the cemetery where his sister was buried as I'd seen him in previous years. I began walking towards the grave before I saw him bending down placing yellow roses. I walked up to him before clearing my throat.

"You iyte ?" I sighed

His head shot up sniffing before standing up straight:

"Ain't you meant to be with your reunited brother or something" he shrugged

"Why don't you come over, it's just family and ky will be there" I shrugged

"Since when we been cool" he kissed his teeth

"Since Now, you coming or what ?" I began walking away

He began walking beside me . We didn't speak at all it was too soon for that shit. We just walked for now before we finally arrived. The breeze wasn't friendly and I wasn't enjoying just wearing a tshirt and hoodie. I opened the front door and everyone's eyes shot up at the sight of me and link.

"Weren't you beating his ass the other day " diamond commented

"It's Christmas bitch" laughed

"Hey bro" link dapped kylo

"How you doing man" I smiled

"Come here man" he pulled my hand

Kylo hugged me tight and I finally was able to become myself again. Shit it brant tears to my eyes as reality kicked in, my brother was back and he weren't planning to go anywhere. He released me before laughing.

"Ay Ty you crying" talia stood up

"Nah nah" I lied

"I love you too man, I missed you" ky smiled sitting beside me
