They both knew the consequences if word was to get out about the two but a young Lauren no longer cared about the over protectiveness from the men in her life, she began to get reckless.
But the only issue wasn't the fact that he was apart of the fa...

"Girl you wanna be so serious." Z snapped Lauren a picture. "Where you going though? No class for a week and we off work for three days." He pouted.
"Right, you promised us it was gone be a movie night or some shit." Alonzo frowned wrapping his arms around her shoulder, biting down on an apple.
"You're still never at home huh?" She frowned and took his apple biting the side he hadn't bit on. "I have a last minute therapy session; I'll be back kids." She laughed sounding like their mother.
"Let me drive you." Alonzo offered. "And Z come too; we can go do some bro stuff, or bro and sis stuff whatever you faggots prefer." He joked.
Z sucked his teeth. "Ha Ha" He dryly said. "I'll be wrong if I tell you don't bleed no where in the house though."
"Yup. I'll drive myself." Lauren held her church finger up and grabbed her keys because she knew the two was about to go at it. "Bye guys."
"That's fucking funny to you? Huh lil nigga?" She heard Alonzo yoke Z up and shut the door.
The last few weeks they both had been stuck to her how her brothers had always done. They were just like her brothers; and being a hour away from Keven and Anthony she was grateful to have Alonzo around especially since he protected her at all times along with Z. After giving him a chance she found out he was just a big baby that needed a genuine friend, other than Z and since then he might as well had moved in. They were like best friends; they did everything together, they were the perfect trio of friends.
Getting into her car and driving off she answered the incoming call from her Bluetooth speaker. "Hello?" She said making a right at the light.
"Don't hello me. You too good to come home or call any fucking body?" Jared's voice made her jump in her seat.
"I was coming home tomorrow daddy. I've just been busy; I was going to call and ask if I could bring my two friends." She chuckled nervously. "But how are you?"
"Girl I almost said fuck you and hung up." He smiled hearing his baby voice. "I'm good, how are you? I know Snow White is one of them.. who is the other?"
Lauren burst into laughter. "Daddy when you meet him please don't call him those names. He's sensitive." She parked her car. "And his brother, before you ask. No we're not dating, he's twenty two and I think he's a street nigga." She explained as she grabbed her purse and keys stepping out of the car.
"Mhm." Jared hummed. "Sounds like bullshit; but sure." He shrugged.
"How's Sabrina?" She asked leaning against the building. "How are you two holding up?"
"We're good. Thinking about making it official soon; I love her." He let it slip and cursed himself.
"Love her daddy?" Lauren felt the tears wet her cheek. "What about mommy? Do you not love her anymore?" Her voice cracked.
"Of course I love my wife." Jared snapped. "I didn't mean that so harsh; I'm not replacing your mother sweetheart but how long should I string Sabrina along knowing how I feel about her? Your mother is gone baby, been gone for three years now." He cleared his throat from choking up.
"I have to go daddy, I'm happy for you." Lauren smiled and wiped her eyes. "I love you and I'll see you soon." She hung up the phone and calmed herself down before walking into the building to see her therapist.
Walking in she knocked at the door and stepped in, smiling at Jamie she took a seat on the couch and waiting for her to get off of the call she was finishing up. Checking her phone to kill time she read over some of her messages.
Megan🍫: I'm fine, being six months a pain. I really miss you and wish we could be back how we were.. but I get it.
Keven💉: I'm moving to Pennsylvania soon, got me a little spot up there to be closer to my baby, and Cassidy had her son asking me to get a DNA test cause dude ain't the father. I'm nervous as fuck; August ass Crazy. Already talking about stealing the baby and killing her 😂 the fuck I get myself into.
Anthony💉: Today was better then the last week; they gave me stronger meds and checked for anything. Everything is clear for now. Love you
Zeeke💔: I think your dad needs to be paying for my surgery since he put this hole in my hand 😂. But I'm good tho; I deserved that shit; you don't have to keep apologizing every week Peanut. We good. I love you.
Responding to them all she smiled and locked her phone. "So how are we today?" Jamie asked Lauren.
"I don't know; I just wanted to talk. I went the month without responding back, and seeing what my heart wants as you suggested." She said referring to Rico. "It's him; I want him and it's time I show him that." Lauren played with her fingers.
"What's stopping you?"
"My dad, the fact he could kill Rico. I mean I know you think that's an excuse but many don't know my dad how we know him, I know Rico is willing to take that chance but if my dad kills him then I'll be without him for life." She sighed. " But I'm tired of being unhappy being afraid of what he'd do. Ya know? It's been a month and I hope I'm not too late."
"I see, but he was willing to take all those consequences months ago why not let him?" Jamie sat back in her chair. "Even a month ago; you said he would drop his friend for you? Correct?" She asked.
"Yes but he's-"
"Cut the excuses out and admit you're scared Lauren. That's fine, but I think you should tell him how you truly feel. This man has expressed himself to you and you still have yet to even say anything, a man gets tired of being the only one trying. Forget your dad, and what anyone will think. If you love him how you claim you do then don't express that to me- let him know." Jamie became stern and serious.
"But what if he's with her now?" Lauren put her head down.
"What did you tell him three months ago?"
"That once I got better I'd fight for us." She mumbled. "No matter if he had someone or not."
"Okay then." Jamie smiled. "Do that, and he's either going to take you back or have no more fight left in him. Either way at least you tried." Lauren smiled and they said their goodbyes.
As she left the office she called Z. "Pack y'all things, we're going to Pennsylvania tonight." She gave him no time to respond before heading home to pack her things.
