Harmony POV

"Malik stop it," I yelled at him for the third time to stop spitting on the floor. "Where did you learn that?" Malik just stared at me pouting with his arms across his chest as I walked in the closet to get the mop.

"Girl he is too cute. He must look like his daddy cuz he doesn't look like y'all." Maloni said picking Malik up and cleaning up his spit with paper towels.

"You didn't have to do that. I was going to get the mop." I said ignoring her comment. She didn't need to know all that yet. We were just becoming close and I really think she's a good person. She even decided to skip school with me today, as I watched my nephew.

"It's cool sus. I'm bouta grab me some Kool-Aid. You want some?" Maloni asked walking across the living room going towards the kitchen.

"Yea." We were supposed to be studying for our Algebra test but we have yet to start. I turned on my Bluetooth speaker and played Worth It by NBA Youngboy.

"Come here, Malik." He ran towards me and jumped in my outstretched arms. "I love yo badass. But I most definitely ain't having no kids." I laughed as I held him. "You gotta pee pee?" He shook his head no just as Maloni walked back in.

"Here you go," Maloni said sitting down, grabbing her phone.

I laid Malik down as he yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Somebody's sleepy."

The KoolAid was filled with ice and looked so refreshing. I gulped down the whole cup in less than thirty seconds. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand as I sat the cup down and grabbed my algebra binder.

"You ready? Page thirty-five right?" I asked Maloni. She looked up from her phone and smiled. She grabbed her book and opened it to the page we were on. "Wait. Imma go get me another glass of Kool-Aid."

"I'll go get it. Start the problems." Maloni volunteered, getting up.

I solved about five problems before I started feeling dizzy. I took a swig of my drink and tried to stand up but my knees were weak. "Maloni I don't feel good. Help me." I cried out as my legs gave out and I fell.

The red Kool-Aid spilled all over me and I fought to keep from closing my eyes. I stared at Maloni, waiting on her to help me. It looked like she smirked as I felt my eyes getting heavier. The last thing I heard before I blacked out was "Listen to ya twin next time. Stop making friends with everybody. Malik is my baby now."

Maloni POV

I quickly walked around Harmony's house getting anything that could be Malik's favorite. His blanket. I thought as I ran up the stairs. I looked in Harmony's room but it wasn't there. I walked down the hall to A'Lyric's room and opened the door. Her room was so pretty. She had pictures of Malik and her all over.

"Good thing she has plenty of memories because he's my son now," I thought to myself.

I found the blanket in his day bed and ran downstairs. I put the blanket in his book bag along with his other belongings. I picked up Malik and put him on my shoulder. I looked down at Harmony, still laid out on the floor. I walked towards the front door and shifted Malik to my right shoulder while unlocking the door.

I made it to the car that Jayceon let me drive today. I put Malik in the car seat and hurriedly buckled him up. After getting in the driver seat, I started the car and sped off. Our house was only ten minutes from Harm's house, so I was there in no time.

I parked the car and turned it off.  I rested my head on the steering wheel. I sighed just thinking about what I did. I could go to jail. I just kidnapped a baby and drugged his aunt. Lord forgive me for my sins.

I got out the car as I looked around at my surroundings. I grabbed Malik out of the car seat, leaving it in the car. I got his bag and made my way up to the house. When I tried unlocking the door, Malik stirred in his sleep. I stopped moving but it didn't help. He woke up and looked around as if asking where he was.

We walked into the house automatically being greeted by Jayceon's huge smile. "Wassup Daddy's man?"

"Where's my TeTe Harm?", Malik asked. I looked at Jayceon as he just admired Malik and stepped back some as I put Malik on the floor.

"You remember me? TeTe Harm didn't feel good so I brought you to my house." I said lying through my teeth.

"Okay, Maloni." I looked at him shocked. I didn't even know he knew my name and he said it so perfectly.

"You look just like me Malik. Can you come to me?" Jayceon begged. The way he admired this lil boy, I just knew it was a matter of time until he pushed me to the curb. He already used me for what he wanted.

"Maloni, can I go over there?", he asked me. I nodded my head and let go of his hand.

After for what seemed to be hours of watching Malik play with all his toys, I got up and started cooking. I looked at the time and it read ten minutes after two. Kalilah would be home shortly and we would see her reaction.

As if on cue, Kalilah walked through the front door. "Awww. He is so adorable. Maloni is this the nephew you've been talking about?", she called out to me. She wasn't Kalilah at the moment so she don't remember we already had this discussion.

I looked out the pass-through window, at how easy it was for Malik to start playing with her. He even chose Jayceon over me now. I basically did all this for them. I was, once again, the outsider.

"Loni? Did you hear me?"

"Ummm. Uhh. Lilah sit down." Jayceon responded before I could say anything.

Jayceon took a deep breath before explaining everything to her. It wasn't until Jayceon finished talking, I realized Kalilah was crying. I was going to console her but before I could touch her. She stood up and walked up to her room. Was she happy? Or sad? What if she's mad?

I quietly followed behind her. Kalilah walked in her room and screamed. Her door was slightly cracked as I peeked through. She sat on her bed with her hands on her face.

"How am I gonna keep this secret. This is too much. I rather them kept this from me.", she rambled to herself. "But he's my nephew. How could I deny his beautiful face? They can go to jail for kidnapping and rape. Oh my God, oh my God! Kalilah take your medicine. I told you to take it this morning."

I sighed deeply as I pushed opened her door. "Kalilah? You okay?" I asked standing in front of her.

"Kalilah didn't take her medicine today. She had a perfect day at school but y'all broke this big news on her now Kalilah can't handle it." Kalilah said in her childlike voice.

"I need my medicine. It's in my bag somewhere.", she searched through her bag. This was the normal Kalilah talking.

Kalilah was diagnosed with a mild case of Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD) at the age of 5. That was after she witnessed her daddy get killed in front of her as a child. As far as I know, she only had three personalities; the child, normal Kalilah and a quiet one. It wasn't bad at all but this news just tipped her off balance.

I watched as she popped her Venlafaxine and sat down. She rocked back and forth, tapping her foot. She looked at me for a long time.

"So this is why you came to Central with me? Not to spend more time with me but to befriend somebody and kidnap their baby?" Kalilah looked at me, shaking her head.

"Get out my room Maloni!"
