Three days later
Laurent's POV
Larry came home yesterday and he is feeling way better.. I have this pit in my stomach.. like I'm disappointed in myself...I didn't mean to have sex with yn but it just happen..
Larry: What you think about?
Me: About what?
Larry:No what's on you mind?
Me:Oh nothing..
Larry: Talk Lau
Me:I did something bad...still not bad but bad because of the situation...
He gave me a confused face.
Larry: Which is?
Me:....I had sex with Yn..
His mouth dropped open.
Larry: Laurent ! Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas chez vous ?! Vous savez ce qu'elle vit et ce qu'elle pense de vous et vous ne faites que l'utiliser ! (Laurent! What is wrong with you?! You know what she's going through and how she feels about you and you just use her!)
Me: Je ne voulais pas que cela se produise Larry. Je me sens tellement horrible. (I didn't mean for it to happen Larry..I feel so horrible)
I know why he's mad I would be mad at me too.
Yn's pov
Every since the other day I haven't really tried making conversation with Laurent.. I talk to Larry a lot though. Laurent is suppose to come get the babies today until Sunday...I have yet to tell Jacob about what happened. But I guess I have no choice now because he's been questioning me all day.
Jacob: Bonita the last few days you have been acting weird talk to me.
Me:Jake...something happened.. something that I wish never did because now I am confused I am left with no explanation..
Jacob: What happened? What are you talking about?
Me:Laurent...laurent and I....we had sex.
He gave me a look of disappointment.
Jacob: So he's trying to use you?
When he said that there was a knock at the door. He got it and it was Laurent. As soon as he seen him he punched him.
Me: Jacob no!
I grabbed him.
Jacob: I'm really sick of you.. you using her hurting her not caring about no one but yourself!
Lau: Jacob just hear me out I swear I didn't mean for it to happen.. I know I've hurt her enough I wasn't trying to
Jacob: You need to go
Lau: Can I get my babies first.
Jacob went upstairs and hurried up and packed their stuff.
Lau:Yn I am so sorry.. I don't know what I was thinking..
Me: It's ok
Lau: It's not
Me:I love you Laurent as much as it hurts I can't see you like when it's time for you to get the babies you will get them through Larry
Lau:... I understand...I love you
Me:I love you too...
Jacob came back down with the babies and gave them to laurent.
Jake: Bye
I gave my babies a kiss and they left.
Me: I'm sorry Jake
Jacob:I know it wasn't you, you're very vulnerable right now and he knows it.
Larry called me.
Phone convo
Me:Hey Larry
Larry:Hey Belle
Me: How you feeling?
Larry: Much better...I heard what happened.... I'm sorry for my stupid brother
Me: No need to be sorry Larry it's ok
Larry: But he is just so dumb
Me:I know
Larry:Had he came yet?
Me: Yes he should be on the way back
Larry:I find it funny how Lau bought this big house for you guys and just let it go to waste...
Me: Right.. but at least he let you move in with him
Larry: Yeah but I feel it is time for me to be on my own.
Me:Aww
Larry: Yup be a big boy
I laughed at him.
Me: Well I'm glad that you're doing better. I'm about to shower and get some rest I'll call you later ok
Larry:Ok Belle
End of convo
Jacob:Bonita I'm going with some of the boys to hoop Monique will be here in a little while.
Me:Ok be safe I love you
Jacob: I love you too
Jacobs POV
A few of the guys wanted to go to the court today so I went ahead since I haven't been in so long. I left the house and got there in about 20 minutes. My homeboy drew walked up to me as soon as I got there.
Me:Wassup bro
Drew:Bro there's a guy that just got here he been talking shit about you every since he came
Me:Huh? Who?
Drew: Some Nigga named Ant
Me:Ant?
The name sounds familiar but I can't figure it out.
Me:The fuck he got a problem with me?
Drew:I guess so
Me: Let me see what he got going
We walked to the court and I seen Monique .
Me:Monique what you doing here?
A nigga walked up to me.
"Don't be talking to my bitch"
Me:Yo bitch?? First off all that's my girlfriend
She looked scared for some reason.
Me:Monique !
She jumped.
Drew: This the ant nigga
I'll deal with this nigga when I'm done with her. I started walking towards her and he put his hand in my chest.
Me:Nigga what the fuck wrong with you?!
Ant:Yo bitch ass! You take my bitch then think shit sweet.
Ohhhh now I remember him. This is who she was with before me but as far as I know they were broken up long before me and her started talking.
Me: Whatever y'all had going on was before me.. she's mine now so get the fuck on.
I walked past him. I guess he wasn't taking no for an answer because he just pushed the fuck out of me. I turned around and hit him and we started going at it. One of my homeboys pulled me away from him and They started fighting. I said fuck it and started walking to Monique but then I heard gunshots. I got down and I saw her fall she had been shot.
Me:It's gone be ok just breathe.
She looked at me then looked down.
Moni:Jacob...yo-you're hurt
I looked and I had been shot.
Me:No no I'm fine you just need to breathe ok
Soon as I said that he came and shot me again...but this time in my head.

Larry's pov
Sitting here at the house with Lau, the babies and D ended up coming over to chill.. my phone started going off multiple texts and people calling back and fourth before I could even answer. One of jacob homeboys Twan called as I picked up my phone so I answered.
Phone convo
Before I could even say anything he started yelling.
Twan: Larry! Oh my god bro
He was yelling and crying.
Me:Yo calm down what's going on??
Twan:Jacob just got shot twice man fuck!
Even though I'm still in pain because of my accident I ended up jumping up.
Me: What?! Where??? How??!!
Twan: Some dude man they was fighting he started shooting bro jay, tex, Monique and Jacob they all got shot but he went back and shot jacob again man!
Me:Fuck they at the hospital yet?
Twan: like 5 minutes away

Me:Lau!!!!
He came running into the living room.
Me:Lau we gotta go jacob got shot
Lau:Shot?? What the fuck I just seen him.. Damn I can't bring the babies in that scene
D:I got it y'all go
We ran out and all I could think about was Yn. Soon as we got to the hospital I seen her running up to the desk.
Yn: Jacob Jacob Perez where is he????
I walked up to her so she can know I was here. When I walked up the doctor came out.
Yn:Where's jacob?? Is he ok?!
Doc:...I'm sorry
Yn: What?...what do you mean I'm sorry? Huh?! What the fuck do you mean I'm fucking sorry?!!! Where's my bestfriend?!
I grabbed her and stepped up to the doctor.
Me:Sir what's going on?
Doc:Jacob passed as soon as he got to the operating table...
Yn's pov
Doc: Jacob passed as soon as he got to the operating table...
He didn't just say that..I know he didn't just say that... he can't...no Jacob can't be gone I need him. I tried running to the back...multiple people grabbing me but I manage to break free...when I got to the back I went past a room and I seen him...my Jacob laying there lifeless. I have to be dreaming this cannot be real. I bust in the room as the nurses was in there and ran over to him..
Me: Jacob...
No answer....
Me: Jacob please...please you can't be gone you just can't.. Please Jacob come back!
Larry and laurent came in the room.
Larry:Yn
Me:No! He's not gone larry !
He's right here. Jacob is right here. I looked at them then back at him..
Me:Jake...Jake you have to wake up I can't do this without you jake please.
I was getting angry because he wasn't waking up he wasn't coming back to life.. I just started yelling and Larry grabbed me and held me.
Me:Nooo! No no no! God why?!
They walked us out the room Larry still holding me while I'm crying.. he's crying, laurent is crying. My bestfriend...my kids godfather.. my hero...he's gone.. as we were walking I dropped to my knees screaming and crying.
Laurent's pov
Jacob's dead....that shit hurt... everyone is crying.As we are walking down the hall Yn drops down to her knees and just started screaming she was already crying but it got worse.... I can't imagine how it feels.. to lose your bestfriend the person that has been with you forever. Jacob's mom came in she seen Yn and she also started crying.
Jacob's mom: No, no, no, mi bebé, mi único hijo, no (No no not my baby my only child no)
I went to her and held her everyone was silent as Yn and Jacob's mom cried.
1 week later
Yn is here with Larry and I. We went and got all of her things and the kids things from Jacob's house and we packed his stuff up and took it to his moms house. Her sister has been staying with her but we still check on her. But Yn on the other hand.... It has been rough.. she hasn't talked since ..she hasn't ate.. she throws up everyday.... And cries nonstop. I have been taking care of the babies and Larry tends to Yn.
Larry: Lau ça fait mal (Lau this hurts)
Me:Je connais mon frère (I know brother)
Larry: La mère de Jacob veut que Yn aide à planifier les funérailles, mais comment ? ...Belle est littéralement cassée. (Jacob's mom want Yn to help plan the funeral but how?...Belle is literally broken.)
Me: Nous vous aiderons avec tout (We will help with everything)
Yn's pov
I am not able to function. Physically or mentally... all I can think about is Jake.. I want to be with him right now I don't want to be here...but my babies.. he would hate me. If I left them alone with laurent. My chest hurts my head...my eyes.. everything. I am hurting. And it has literally made me sick to my stomach... Larry came into the room and his whole facial expression changed.. he sat on the bed and had me lay my head on his chest. Still crying I try to speak.
Me: He's really gone
Larry:I here for you all of us are
Me:I never thought I would lose him.... Ever
I started crying more. He held me tight.
Larry:shhh I got you belle I promise
Me:Please don't promise to me Larry....everytime someone promises me they break it.
Larry:I will never break my promise
I felt the urge to throw up so I jumped up and ran to the bathroom. Larry came behind me and rubbed my back. I appreciate him so much you guys don't even know.
Next day
Jacob's mom came over because Larry and Lau are supposed to be helping with the funeral planning.... I'm going to try my hardest to help because if I don't I will be a horrible person. As they were talking of course I cried..
Larry:Yn you know we are not forcing you to be here right now
Me:I know but I would be a bad person to not help plan my own best friends funeral..
JM: It's ok baby I understand and I know he understands.
Her eyes were filled with tears. I can't just leave her like this.
Me:I will stay...
She smiled at me and we continued organizing things.
JM:Yn baby...I don't want to ask for too much but..I would love for you to sing at the service.
I kind of got a little tense...I don't know if I can stand in front of everyone in the condition that I'm in now.... Not even that but at his funeral... Larry grabbed my hand And I looked at him. He nodded.
Me:ok..
After we got done her and her sister left. I went in the room to my babies and just looked at them as they slept.
Me: I know I've been a bad mother...a very important person to us died...
I started crying.
Me:I am going to try my hardest to become the strongest person for you guys because since you were born I have not been strong at all..I am grateful for your dad for taking care of you guys while I suffer.. while I'm in this depressive state. I love you both more than anything.
I kissed them and went to the guest room. I just want to hear sad music right now.. But by sad people....so the feelings can be mutual..I texted Larry and asked him to come up to the room.
Larry: Everything ok?
Me:Larry take me...take me to lounge 33
Larry:Belle you sure you want to go out
Me:I need to just close my eyes and listen...please
He took a deep breathe..
Larry:Ok...how long?
Me: Give me 30 minutes
Larry's pov
Yn wants me to take her to the lounge.. this could go good or bad. I went back downstairs to lau and the babies.
Me:Lau Yn want me to take her to the lounge
Lau:Take her..let her get out the house to some fresh air.
Me:But you think she ready to go out?
Lau:I mean she has to go out first for us to see
He's right.
Me:Ok...
After a while she finally got up she had sweats on and a big tshirt and some crocs.
Me: You ready
She gave the babies kisses.
Yn: Yes.
15 minutes later
We got to the lounge and it was a girl singing already she was singing that song I danced to and yn sung. Yn cried a little but then wiped her face. A few other people sung then the host saw Yn and called her name.
Host: Hey Yn I know you want to come up here.
She looked at me.
Me:Yn you don't have to go up there
Yn:I-It's ok... I think I can do it....
Me: You sure?
Yn: come up there with me?
Me:Of course
We walked up there and I stood behind the dj booth.
Yn:Please excuse me guys...ummm I just lost someone very special to me..my umm my bestfriend past away a week ago..
The crowd made sad sounds some even had a few tears.
Yn:So..so yeah this is my first time out since then. I've sat in the room everyday crying my eyes out feeling like I'm not going to make it.. Jacob literally saved me..he saved me from killing myself...multiple times...he was my happiness.
Hearing her story hurt me...made me shed a few tears.
Yn: But anyways there's this song that has been going through my head.. literally everyday it's by labrinth.. it's called I'm tired..
She looked at the dj and he started the instrumental..
Yn:..Hey lord, you know I'm tired.... Hey lord, you know I'm tired... Hey lord you know I'm tired of tears hey lord just cut me loose.....
I looked in the crowd and even though she has just started everyone was crying...even me.
Yn: Hey lord, you know I'm fighting.. hey lord, you know I'm fighting... I'm sure this world is done with me, hey lord you know it's true.... Now the tide is rolling in, I don't wanna win let it take me let it take me.. I'll be on my way..How long can I stay in a place that can't contain me... Hey lord you know I'm tired..... Hey lord you know I'm tired.........
She didn't even Finish the song and she dropped to her knees and broke down crying and screaming. I ran to her and saw some of the crowd putting their hands on the stage.
Yn: Larry I can't do this I can't
She started questioning God and everything.
Me:Yn I got you come on
I got her up off the stage and walked straight outside to the car. I held her hand the whole ride home. When we got out I opened her door then hugged her. She cried in my chest....I hate this for her man.. I will try to do something nice for her.
Me: Let's go in the house so you can get some rest.
We went inside and she went in the room Lau had just put the babies to sleep and I went to talk to him.
Me: Lau seeing Yn like this is hurting me
Lau: Have you been crying?
Me: Yes.... Her performance was so heart breaking..
Lau: Larry this might not be the right time... but can I ask you something?
I looked at him.
Lau: You have feelings for her don't you?
Me:I mean...I wouldn't say I like her...but I do care for her..a lot
I'm not going to lie I've always had some type of feelings for Yn.... Just don't know how to explain them seeing though her and my brother were married and had babies..
Lau: Tu n'as pas besoin de me mentir mon frère. (You don't have to lie to me brother..)
Me: Je ne suis pas...(I'm not..)
Next morning
I got up early so that I can come to the store and get a few things for Yn.. I also got her a card so that I can write something nice for her. I got flowers a big teddy bear and miscellaneous things.
Yn's pov
Yesterday I just couldn't hold it... I thought I was ready but I wasn't.. as I'm in mid thought Lau came in the room with the babies and gave me Laurence.
Me:Hi mommy babies
My babies are getting so big.
Lau: look at how long they're getting
Me: Right they're going to be 1 before we know it..
We played with them for a while.
Me:Lau you know you can leave them with me and do what you need to do
Lau: You sure?
Me: Positive
Lau:Ok I'm just going to get some house hold things you need anything.
Me:Umm no I'm good. Are they good on diapers?
Lau: Yes
Me:Ok well we're fine
Lau: Ok
He left and I started back playing with the babies. After about 10 minutes I heard the door open.
Larry: It's me!!
I laughed a little cause I already knew it was him.
Larry: Where's everybody?!
Me:Me and the babies are upstairs laurent went to the store!
He came running upstairs. When he walked through the door I smiled and wanted to cry.
Me:Larry...
He had this big huge bear and a lot of flowers and a big bag. I stood up and hugged him.
Me: Why'd you do this larry?
Larry: Because I care for you and see you hurt, hurt me so I buy you stuff to make you smile.
He's so cute.
Me: Thank you so much.
I opened the card that was in the bag it said...
"Yn you have been through so much in so little time... it may seem like you're alone but I'm here no matter what. I care for you a lot and I want you to know that. Anything you need I'm here for you even if it's for me to change the channel. You do not have to worry about anything, I got you.
-with love, Larry"
I smiled and shed tears.
Larry:No cry
Me: Thank you so much Larry I don't even know how to show you how much I am thankful for this
Larry: You don't need to... just by you cry I know
He gave me a hug.
Me: Can you stay in here with us?
Larry:Of course.
He stayed and played with the babies then we fed them and put them to sleep.
Larry:So
Me:So....
Larry: How's everything with Lau?
Me: It's actually pretty good I appreciate him so much for taking care of the babies since I've been you know....
Larry: Yeah I know but...I say how you feel?.. like you feel you two could be together again.
Me: Honestly no..we had this conversation before..we have also divorced already and I feel as though we are better off as friends, coparents.. true enough I do still have love for him but I'm not in love with him anymore.
Laurent's pov
I came back home and went upstairs to see the babies when I heard Larry and Yn talking. So I stopped and listened.
Larry: Yeah I know but...I say how you feel?.. like you feel you two could be together again.
Yn: Honestly no..we had this conversation before..we have also divorced already and I feel as though we are better off as friends, coparents.. true enough I do still have love for him but I'm not in love with him anymore.
She's right I'm glad to know we're on the same page. No matter what I'll always be there for her because she's the mother of my children even if it wasn't for them I still would be. I know that larry has feelings for Yn but he just doesn't want to tell me. I walked in the room.
Yn: Hey laurent
Me:Hey guys
Yn: Look what Larry got me
See my brother really do have feelings for her.
Me: This is so cute
He looked a little embarrassed but blew it off.
Larry: Oh hush... I'm going to play the game let me know if you need anything
Yn:Ok I'm fine for now probably about to nap.
Larry left the room and I looked at Yn.
Me:I love you yn
Yn:I love you too.
I walked out and went downstairs to Larry.
Me:Larry.. make your move
He looked at me confused.
Larry: Huh?
Me:I know you like Yn..
Larry:Lau..
Me: It's ok my brother.. I've noticed it for a minute just haven't say anything
Larry:I can no make my move...
Me: Why?
Larry: She's hurt.. vulnerable...I can no just tell her I have feelings for her...not now at least
Me:Ahh I get it..
Larry:I want to take my time.. And give her time Belle needs to heal.
Me: You're right.
