Mia and Jeremiah walked back to the house and talked.
"Did you meet the guys?" he asked
"Yeah they're exactly how Jack said they would be…" She smiled. "Especially Angel."
As they got inside Bobby and Angel walked into the room.
"Hey what's up." Jeremiah said taking off his coat.
"Nothing much… " Angel said giving his brother a hug. "What's been up with you playa."
"Nothing. So yall already met Mia?" He asked
Bobby nodded "So are yall hungry or what?"
"Hell Yeah!" Angel yelled. "What are you making master chef."
"What ever the hell you're cooking."
"Ha Ha real funny get your ass in there." Angel smiled
"Shut up." Bobby said smacking Angel on the back of the head. "What about you Mia?"
She nodded. "Yea but is there anywhere I could lay down for a while?" she asked.
"Yeah you could go in…"Bobby stopped.
Mia looked at him for a second but smiled. "It's alright I'll go in Jacks room."
She headed up stairs.
Mia was lying next to Jack in his bed as the moon shined in through the window. She knew how he felt and wanted to be there for him.
"Mia." Jack said sitting up. "Mia I want you to leave town for a while…"
"What do you mean?" she asked sitting up at eye level with him.
"I've lost my mother… And if things get any worst I don't want to lose you too…"
"But Jack…" she started.
"Please… Do this for me… I promise as soon as everything has settled down."
"Jack." She cried
"Mia please! It's hard for me too but I can't someone else I love! I can't lose you are the baby…"
Mia sat down on the bed. She whipped the tears from her eyes and laid down on the bed.
"But I didn't want to lose you either."
"SO Jer tell us how did our weird ass brother hook up with her?" Angel asked looking at Jeremiah.
"Let's just say Ma had to bail another son outta jail."
Bobby looked at Jeremiah. "What do you mean?"
"Jack beat the shit out of this kid after he saw the way he was treating her. They connected and that's the story."
"There has to be more to it then that" Angel said.
"Damn it yall that's all I know… I had to go with mom to bail him out I saw the other guy and he looked like a car hit em'."
"Damn… I know he had a bad temper but damn." Angel said looking at the picture.
"Yeah but hey he came out unscratched."
"We taught him didn't we?" Bobby said with a smile.
The brother all sat and thought about Jack remembering the times they had together. But Angel got up and whipped his face. "Hey man why don't you get in there and cook something I'm starving." He said in a whispered voice.
Angel remember that day he was shot even though he tried so hard to forget. He wanted it to be a distant memory but he couldn't take that image out of his head. When he smiled his last smile. And when he died in him and Bobby's arms. He looked up at the picture that hung of Jack.
