•••QUINN•••

Calvin was on the phone talking, Mandy sat down next to me calming me down.

I sat down frozen, the tears worked down my cheeks all the memories of my dad flash before my eyes, he was the best dad even after him and mom got divorced I was his little princess. I didn't even spend time with him or said thank you for all the things he did.

Mandy was petting me, Calvin was done with the call he sneaked it back in his pockets.

Mandy got up slowly and asked "So what did they say? Is he really... " she stopped noticing the dim stare from Calvin.

He's actually dead.

"He got involved in a terrible accident, he lost a lot of blood since the accident had a a lot of impact he died before he could get treated, this shit ain't fair." Calvin said looking at me with pity being that the news kicked me to the curb.

"Quinn? " Mandy shakes me gently.

"Say something." she echoed, I quickly get up and went to my suitcase I didn't bother to unpack and took out a hoodie.

I checked a few of my jeans until I found some emergency cash which I snuck in my pockets. "Quinn? " I didn't answer

"Quinn? " Mandy repeated while I kicked some of my stuff away, I passed her and Calvin but he held on to my wrist.

"Where are you going? " I tried struggling away from his grip but he wouldn't let go.

"Let me go Calvin." I grouched but he didn't.

"Let me go." I yelled this time using all my strength to free from his grasp. "To where? " he asked.

"Just let me go." I said about to punch him with my other hand but he took hold of it.

"Calvin fucking let me go.." I yelled but he struggled to hold me down. "To where Quinn?" he asked. "Why won't you let me go? I want to go see if dad is really dead, he can't be dead, dad can't die, I need to go see him maybe they made a mistake, please let me go see him Calvin, please.." I sobbed heavily but he didn't let me go he pulls me into an embrace while I scream hell on his shoulders.

A few days later, I was at my mom's place she was holding the family meeting unfortunately I was requested to attend and so was Calvin.

Dad's lawyer was there waiting for all of us to be present.

Calvin and I were talking until my uncle Charles and his wife Loura walked in with their pride shoot of the roof, then Noemie walked in with her diamond glitter open back dress.

"Oh Jesus.." I groaned as she spotted me with he fake eyelashes. "Quinn? " she called me out, my mom was laying down snacks and greeting her in-laws since my uncle Charles was dad's elder brother.

"Be nice, I believe in you." Calvin gave me a thumbs up, Noemie came up to Mr squealing flaunting her pink blonde hair which swayed at her bottom probably to get Calvin's attention.

"Hey Cuz.." I teethed I swear I swallowed my own vomit. "How long has it been the last time I saw you, you were with your hot nigga and you didn't bother to call." at least she's right about one thing. "Yeah I'm back." I said.

"So where is he? " she asked why I looked back at Calvin, he's not going to save me from this. "Well we broke up and how are you? "I quickly changed the topic.

"Amazing, sorry about your dad if he wasn't poor he'll still be alive." she said I got up and arched a brow. "Excuse me?  Poor? " I echoed while she foolishly scoffed.

"If he was rich he would have had the best drivers to take him instead of risking his life and driving." she gloated I clenched my fist about to give her the beating of her life.

"Please get me some water will you? " she ordered and that was it but Calvin held me back. "Calvin what are you doing let me go." I tried to free away from his grasp.

"How rude, well I'm not surprised you are rude, can you get me that water I asked if you don't mind." she scoffed again.

"When Calvin let's go of me I'm gonna rip your fake extension and then your shitty hair from your fucked up head." I yelled as Calvin pulled me away. "My hair is hundred percent human." she said displaying her fake nails.

"Really? I didn't know animals wear human hair now." I yelled as Calvin quickly carried me out of the scenario and to the kitchen.

I glared at Calvin as he finally put me down, mom walks in with a frown. "I can't believe this." mom said.

"What can't you believe Noemie is a shithead." I yelled.

"I'm not talking about Noemie I'm talking about you." I looked at her confused.

"What did I do?  She said the reason dad died was because he was poor and an irresponsible driver if Calvin didn't hold me down I could have fucked her up big time." I grunted frustrated. "It doesn't matter who said who, I expected more from you Quinn."

"Mom you are supporting her she just fucked up insulting dad, your ex husband."

"I'm not supporting anyone, look your uncle is the only one who is sponsoring  your father's funeral and he's here to hear his brothers will and I want you to just bear for today and put your different with Noemie aside." she said as I understood.

"OK mom." I said as she palms my cheeks and then leaves. "You're not going to last more than 30 minutes." he challenged.

"You think I can't handle Noemie, please I'm matured now and we are both adults we both know when to be serious." I said as I heard a squeal. "Where's my water Quinn." I facepalm myself. "Go get her water miss Fields." I heaved a deep breath and went to get a glass and filled it with water.

"Wish me luck." I said as he wiggled his brows, I went back to see the lawyer discussing with my uncle and his wife was with Noemie.
