"Can we talk as a Family?" Charlie said looking around the living room as every one sat on the couch getting comfortable. Two sisters, that  should be close are like strangers but why ? when it's so much to relate too.

Both lost a child, both lost their mother, both lost their brother and both are going through childhood trauma that could be accepted and let go of if they spoke on it.

"We have been creating a life, that was horrible before we even came. But I felt the need to create me a better life and convince the world & myself that I was so much better than you and our family, to the point I was ruining others and believing this make believe story I created." She looked directly at her sister as she spoke. Letting her know she meant everything she was saying in this moment .

Charlie took a deep breath before continuing "when I lost Chloe I wanted to immediately run to you, when I was getting bullied, I wanted to run to you , when I had a miscarriage I always wanted to come to you but guilt always made me run further away. You didn't deserve that, I'm so sorry Lauren, we wasn't perfect and I made you feel less than who you really are that you grew up feeling grossed in yourself but I did too and paris I promise I'm soo sorry to you but my love was always real, you made me feel like I had another chance with my baby I lost."

Lauren and paris stood up seeing Charlie break down and hug her. Sometimes no words are better than any, a space of silence is what every one need sometimes and a hug.

Everyone sat in the living room thinking because Charlie brought journals and handed them out with pens so everyone could write their emotions, you could share them if you wanted to or you could hold them tight and never tell anyone.

A family that so broken can heal each other or walk away and act like everything is perfect but what sense would that make when love is the key to life?

"Guys" everyone looked up at paris as they heard her voice, catching the group attention "I'm having a boy" she said with a big smile, happy that someone innocent probably can bring some joy. She knew he would, In her world so didn't care about anything else.

"CONGRATULATIONS" everyone said getting up to hug her. In this moment it was nothing but happiness and forgiveness. It was time to let go of the pain, it wasn't making life easier.

"I spoke to kamari" karter said as he was pulling price tags off for paris as she washed the baby clothes. She was getting bigger and bigger by the second her pregnancy was almost over and she was happy about that. Maybe because she didn't know she was majority of it.

"Yeah, what happened?"

"He told me he would get information about my family,  for me but I ain't believe him so I paid someone else to do it" he said playing with his fingers.  He could say he was happy in this world but was he really? He lost his whole entire family and created one and he so happy to have but he miss Kobe more and more everyday .

When does the easy part come in for him ?

"My real name is Sonny , Kobe real name is sa'ior. Our momma name was Sabrina and of course I'm from Atlanta and our did his name no where to be found." He said reading off the message that was sent.

"Sonny sa'ior Davis" she said squatting down to be next to karter. " that's going to be his name" she finished off, confirming his question he was about to  ask from the confusion on his face. 

"I fuck with that, thank you so much man , I love u" he said pulling her down fully to hug her and giving kisses on parts of her skin that he could touch. She always made him feel seen & heard.

"Let's finish these clothes papa , I'm soo sleepy" she whined getting up hearing the washer machine stop.

"You know I love you right ?"karter said holding paris hand as he smiled at her. His eyes didn't hold emotions, she could say he looked empty .

" of course I know you love me, you tell me every night karter, why you so bubbly?" She said feeling like something wasn't right.

"Nothing man, I just needed you to know because I feel like I don't say it enough, I love the both of y'all so much that I would've been left if y'all wasn't saving me from doing the things my mind is telling me to do."

Paris scrunched up her face not understanding why he said all of this out of nowhere, she was he telling her something that's she shouldn't ignore ?

"Karter what is you talking about ? You can always talk to me you know ?" He nodded his head giving her a peck on the forehead before sliding out the bed.

" I will be right back. She nodded her head not thinking much of whatever he had going on, thinking he was just high.

Paris laid down thinking of karter words until she heard a boom, making her get out the bed to run in the directions she heard it in. When she got to the kitchen she seen two empty pill bottles with one being 'fentanyl' with foam & blood gushing out of karter mouth and head.

"Ka-karter, NO , NOO STOP-"

Karter woke up from Paris twisting and turning screaming his name making him wake her up out her sleep. "AYE , AYE CHILL , I'm right here" he said in her ear feeling her calm down but her breathing still wasn't right on track.

When she finally opened her eyes she burst in tears squeezing him tighter as ever, if this the battle he was fighting silently she wanted him to know she would fight it with him. It's hard come from a dark place. " don't leave us please" she whispered in her ear.

" I don't want to" he said kissing her ear, holding her just as tight.

Two ruin souls, that's sharing the same heart and soul with one creation.
