A few days later ..

Karin pov

"Promise me first" I looked into Khream's eyes and he looked away and sighed. "It'll help. It'll be a wieght off your shoulders"

"She think she could leave for years and years and years and she could just waltz her ass back into our lives? Ion wanna see her"

"Baby c'mon if Karin can do it, then so could you" Trinity rubbed his knee. There was a knock on the door and Khream's eyes widened.

"You invited her to my crib anyways?! Really Karin?!" "It was me too don't be mad at her" Trinity defended me.

"I'm sorry but I knew you would say no" I said. Trinity went to open the door and Khream looked scared as hell.

Our mother walked in and Khream looked at her with the meanest face ever. "Oh my...My baby" She opened out her arms and Khream stared at her like she was a complete stranger.

"You think I wanna give yo ass a hug? you wild" Khream shook his head. "I just want to explain why I did what I did. Please just listen" She begged.

Khream continued staring at her and she took a deep breath. "I...I left your father when he needed me as a wife. I couldn't stay in that relationship knowing that I wasn't being loved the way I wanted. So I um...cheated. I stepped out of our marriage and when your father found out...it broke him. I couldn't love with that guilt so I left. I left my family because I thought they would be better without me. I don't expect you to forgive me but I just wanted you to hear me out. I love you and your sister very much. But-"

"Get yo ass out of my house" He gritted his teeth. "Khream!" Trinity scolded him.

"Nah nah nah I don't give a fuck! Ion know who this lady is and-" "Shes dying K" I blurted. He went silent and slowly turned to me.

"What do you mean?" "I have lung cancer. On and off. My doctor believes I only have a few months to live before they fail on me. I just want you to forgive me" A tear slipped down her face and Khream looked hurt.

"Why? Why now? After all these years?" "I was building up the courage to come up to you guys but when I was in the hospital, Christopher came into my room and I found out my daughter was in the same unit I was in"

"I just need time" He sighed and stomped off.

Its gonna take a while but he'll move past it. Life is too short for grudges.

"Chris" I shook Chris and he scrunched up his eyebrows and rubbed his eyes. "I'm back"

"Lay with me" He patted on the bed and I put my hair into a messy bun, took off my shoes, my bra, and my pants and got into bed. "You still mad at me?" He mumbled tiredly.

"No I'm just...I don't know" "You know I ain't mean what I said and I'm sorry" "I don't wanna talk about that right now Chris" I blinked away my tears and laid down with my back facing him.

"So when do you?! Its been almost a week Karin and its killing me!" "I just don't have the energy for your shit anymore. You're always sorry and I always forgive you" I shrugged.

"You serious right now?" He scoffed. "Yes" I said bluntly. "Karin stop being childish and lets talk" He sucked his teeth. "Alright. Why did you even say that in the first place?" "Cause I was fuckin mad! You were clearly living your best life while we were all crying every single fuckin day because of you!"

"I thought I was never gonna see you guys again!" I yelled back. I know I was wrong for that but I just hate admitting when I'm wrong.

"So you fuck niggas?!" "So I tried to move on with my life! I tried my fuckin best but it didn't work! It didn't fucking work!" My voice cracked the 2nd time I said it.

"Why can't you just say you're wrong for what you did so we can move the fuck on?!"

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. "I'm sorry for what I said alright? I didn't mean it. I don't regret loving your difficult ass. I love every little thing about you and I wouldn't trade you for the world. I'm sorry" Chris said.

"I'm sorry too. It was wrong for me to just ignore my feelings and try to move away from them and I wasn't thinking about how much it would've hurt you guys"

"I love you okay?" Chris put his hands on my cheeks. "I love you too" I said back.

"You okay? You feel hot" Chris frowned. "I'm good baby I'm good" I lied and slowly removed his hands from my face. Lately I've been feeling very tired and weak. I also been getting these wierd rashes on my back and legs. I just don't wanna worry him too much.

"You sure?" He looked me in my eyes and I nodded while looking away. "You know I can always tell when you're lying right?" He squinted at me.

"I'm not" "Tell me"

"I just feel weak all the time" I shrugged. "And thats it?" "I've also been getting these wierd rashes" I said slowly.

"Rashes? Lemme see" He frowned. I turned around and showed him my back and I heard a low gasp come from him.

He softly ran his fingers through them and I slighlty shivered. It felt like a shock go through my body.

"Don't touch them" I whimpered. "They hurt?" "Yeah" I nodded. "Shit" He sighed. "I don't wanna go back there Chris. I just came back" I begged.

"Ion know Karin" He ran his hand over his face. "Lets just give it a few days" I begged. "If they get worse, I'm taking you. Aight?" "Mhm" I nodded.

He just sat there looking depressed as hell. I hate that this Leukemia is fucking shit up for us. For my family.

I sat on his lap and wrapped my arms around him. "I hate to say it but..I'm fuckin scared baby" Chris sighed. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes on his chest.

"Me too" I said lowly. "I don't wanna die yet" "And you won't. I will fight for you till the end of time. I would give up my life for you. Cause thats just how much I love you"

I traced the tattoos on his chest and took a deep breath. I hate crying. But it seems like its all I do. My lip trembled as I thought about what he just said.

He would die for me. I ain't never felt that kind of love before. Even after every single bad thing I've done to him, he still loves me unconditionally.

Shit, He took 3 bullets for me when I was pregnant with our beautiful twins. He risked his life plently of times just to keep me safe.

"Baby?" Chris said softly and gently rubbed my back. "I don't deserve you Chris. At all" I closed my eyes and my tears slowly dripped down my face.

"What do you mean?" "You risked your life for me countless times and all I do is throw shit back in your face and I'm just so ungrateful" I cried.

"I do it because I want to. You're my wife. I made a promise to keep you safe. I love you and I just wanna see you smile everyday" He looked away from me and I could tell he was tearing up.

"I never knew I could feel like this towards anyone. I would do it all over again. From the day I first talked to you at Michael's house to right now. You had 4 of my big headed conceited ass kids. Risked your life giving birth to them. Still took me back into your life even after I fucked up. I love you so much baby. You don't even know" A tear slipped down his cheek.

"I love you too" I wiped his tear and kissed him passionately. "We gonna get through this. One way or another. I'm not letting you slip through my fingers again"

I appreciate everything this man has done for me. Hes my everything.

"Okay" I wiped my face and took a deep breath. "You hungry?" "A little" I smiled shyly. "Get dressed ima take you out" He pecked my lips.

Maylin pov

"Really?" I laughed. "Yeah she was tryna embaress me so bad" Jayvion chuckled. "Thats crazy" I took a bite out of my burger and when I looked up, he was staring at me.

"What? I got something on my face?" I wiped the sides of my mouth and he shook his head no. "You're just so beautiful. I can't even believe"

"Aw t-thanks" I said nervously. My heart was lowkey thumping. I don't have any experience with boys.

"Why you single?" He said jokingly. "My brother is very overprotective and these boys only want one thing so I keep to myself" I shrugged.

"You right" He laughed. I glanced at him and squinted before taking another bite of my burger.

"Is that why you wanted to take me out?"

"No. I wanna get to know you. I'm not with allat" "Why do I feel like you're lying?" I crossed my arms.

"I'm not. I'm a virgin" He said with a straight face. "You? A virgin?" My eyes widened.

"I'm old fashioned. I wanna save myself for someone I love. Not some random bitch" He said.

"Oh...thats good" I smiled. "Yeah" He chuckled.

"Have you figured out where you wanna go for college?" "No. Ion know. I wanna be a rapper but at the same time, what if that don't happen?"

"You can't think like that. You gotta put yourself in a positive mindset. Thats the only way you can get your dreams to become a reality"

"But I don't have alot of time to make a descision. Its either college or be a rapper"

"So do both. Spit fire while you in college. If it works out then do what you gotta do to accomplish your dreams" "...I like your mindset. Its refreshing" He laughed.

"Whatchu mean?" I giggled. "You not like these other girls. You about your buisness" He licked his lips and my panties got soaked.

Jesus, what is this boy doing?

"Yeah. Thats why I barely have friends" I joked. "You don't need no friends anyway" We laughed.

"You free this weekend?" "Uh yeah" I nodded. "You wanna come to my crib? No funny shit I promise I just want some company. I be lonely as shit." He chuckled.

"Um I'll think about it" "Aight" He nodded. "Why are you single? You seem like a nice guy"

"These girls be too thirsty. I like a chase" "I can tell" I laughed.

"I wanted you for so damn long" He laughed. "Well now you got me" I smirked. "Finally" He chuckled.

Jayvion :

Maylin :

*about an hour later*

"Today was fun" I giggled as he walked me to my front door. "Yeah. We should do that more often" He nodded.

"Yeah" I agreed. "Text me when you get home so I know you're safe" I said.

"Aight I will" I turned around to walk inside but thats when he pulled me back.

He looked me in my eyes as if he was trying to see something and my heart was racing.

He slowly put his lips against mine and slowly deepened the kiss. After a few seconds, he pulled back and I smiled big like an idiot.

I got my first kiss!!

"See you tommorow" He smiled and walked to his car.

I just stood there smiling like an idiot. Once he drove off, I came back to earth and opened the house door as quietly as I can.

Its 11:06.

I walked in and closed the door silently. "Do you not see the fucking time Maylin?" My mom was sitting on the sofa.

"Ma! Its late why aren't you sleeping?!" "Why are you coming home this late? Where were you?"

"Out studying and I took a nap and I woke up late" I said nervously.

"You better tell me the truth so I can figure out how to lie to your father cause he wanted me to beat yo ass"

"I was with a friend" "A friend? Little girl don't lie to me"

"Hes a friend!" "He?!" She said loudly. "Shh!! Yes a he."

"You guys didn't do anything you weren't suppose to right?" "Of course not!" "...Better be the truth. Go to sleep you got school tommorow tell me the rest"

"Okay. Night ma" I kissed her cheek. "Night baby"
