Caine's parents are on the way out here and I just don't even know what to say to them
They know Caine's dead but the how and why I don't think we will ever know
"Renz"I say walking around our place
"Wat" he says
"When did they say they'd be here "I say
"In 30"he says
"Ight what are we going to say tho"I say laying on the couch
"I mean they know he's dead so what much do we have to say "he says
"They're goin to wanna know why"I say
"I mean ,we don't know but we gon find out"he says as I squint my eyes
"You better not break your pr-"
The door bell cuts me off as I get the door
I open it and here stands Caine's parents and they look tore up
"Hi Lani"His father says and I give them a weak smile
"Hey come in "I say lettin them in and we all sit
"Look I am so sorry about all this if o could take it back I would cause this is all a nightmare"I say
"Thank you Lani but it's not your fault b-"he says as his wife cuts him off
"Who did this to him "she says
"That's the thing we really don't know "I say
"I wanna see him"she says as I look at Renz

"Y'all are going on a little vacation don't worry about it "I say
After this shooting the shit made me realize my innocent ass child could of got shot and killed and I don't ever wanna be in position Caine's Parents are so I'm sending them to La to stay with Tracey despite her being a bitch I trust her
"Bye Daddy I love you "They all say hugging me
"I love y'all too stay out of trouble and don't stress Tracey please"I say as they nod and get in the car
"So hows everyone "Tracey says

Liyah
Ever since what happened I've been in Lisa and nems house cause I just don't want to be alone
"Aye T "Lisa says to T as she walks by
T has been lookin awful since this happened and I mean worse than all of us
"You wanna get some food with us"Lisa says
T shakes her head no and wallows back to her room
"I'll stay with her if y'all want "I say cause I'm worried bout her and I'm not really in a eating mood
"You sure"Lisa says
I shake my head "Thanks "she said
They get up and leave
I walk near Ts door and put my ear to it
All I could hear was her sobbing and it really broke my heart ,I didn't realize how close they was
Lani
After going to see Caine I needed a minute to myself
Sitting on the edge of the bed I got up quick and threw up in my toilet
I hear footsteps
"You good"Larenz says
I look up and Nod
"Eww you got some on your cheek "he says handing me a napkin
"Seeing Caine like that is fucking with my stomach "I say
"I know it is "he says
"What time is everyone coming over?"I say
"30"Larenz says
"Ima take a shower then "I say
"Ight ima go straighten up"he says walking away
30 mins later
I got in the shower and got dressed in my Pajamas
"Renz I still don't feel good "I say
"It's okay just think happy thoughts or some shit "he says
I lay down on the couch
DING DONG
Larenz gets the door and I sit up
Ren ,Yella, Dre and Ley walk in
They all came up and hugged me and Larenz
"How are y'all holding up"Ren says
"We doing alright ya know"Larenz says as I nod
"Y'all hungry ?"I asked as they all shake they heads other than Ley
"Ima little hungry "she says
"Follow me"I say
We get in the kitchen and I pull her to the side
"Look ima come right out with it I know your pregnant "I say
Her eyes get real big and she starts to cry..shit
"Chill chill ,I'm sorry I just wanna know are you okay"I say
"No Lani I'm stressed and I'm scared ,ion know what to do"she says
"Does he know ?"I say as she cries harder
"So he doesn't "I say holding her
"It's gon be okay if anything happens I gotchu"I say
"Thanks Lani ,I just want Dre to stop hitting me "she says as I let go
"He still hitting you?"I say as she shushes me
"Lani please he just needs help I love him and I know he loves me "she says and that's really fucked up
"Damn y'all been in here for a minute,you good babe?" Dre says walking in
I'm mugging the living hell out this nigga
"Yea I'm fine I'm not even hungry anymore "she says wiping her tears and they walk out
I come out the kitchen and everyone's here I think
PAC ,Heem,Q,Steel,Jada,Liyah ,Lisa,T,and Ro
"Hey everyone y'all okay?"I say as they all nod
We all hug and then I hear the door ring so I get it
I open it and it's Eric
"Oh hey"I say giving a weak smile
"Hey " he says returning the smile
"Can we talk right quick"I say as he nods and steps back into the hall and I shut the door
"I'm really sorry for shooting you"I say as he shakes his head
"No I'm sorry for doing what I did to you ,you ain't deserve it"He says
"I forgive you cause ion hate you and I really do still care about you "I say grabbing his hand
After all this I'm willing to give E a chance
"Yea I know what you mean I still care about you too ,so much that I think we should stay friends "he says and my heart breaks a little
"Oh yea"I say
"Cause I know myself I don't wanna hurt you and lose our bond "he says and I nod cause he's right
"Lets go inside "I say as I lead him in
Everyone's talking, no smiles ,just tissue boxes everywhere
"Look y'all I don't wanna be depressed over this forever "I say as everyone looks at me
"Let's think of the good times we had with Caine ,I wanna remember him for who he was and not how he died"I say
It's silent and then Pac starts laughing
"I remember when I met him and he had a slick ass mouth "he says
The others starts chuckling
"First day in gon argue with Lisa like that was a good idea "he continues and everyone's laughing
"I smacked the hell out him"Lisa says as everyone laughs harder
1 hour
This is good we was reminiscing on good times with Caine but the whole time T wasn't talking nor laughing
I got sit next to her "Are you okay"I say
Right when I said that I feel like she snapped
"IM TIRED OF THIS SHIT"she says as I back up
"What is wrong with you?"I say
"I JUST LOST THE LOVE OF MY LIFE "she says and ....what
"Me and Caine we're together "she continues
"We was together for a year ,it was the best year of my life and now he's just gone"she says
"I didn't know "I say
"Of course you didnt we wasn't out and I guess I thought that keep us out shit but no he's gone" she says
"He was taken from me and now I'll never see him again "she continues walking out with Lisa and nem on her tail
I stand up and look around
"Larenz did you know"I ask him
"Um no"he says
"Are you l-" I get cut off by my stomach
I run to the bathroom and throw up
"What's wrong with me"I say to myself
