*•Latoya's POV•*

"I'm leaving." Ariel gave up and walked out in the rain slamming the door behind her.

Michael stood up straight, holding his cheek and looking at me puzzled with the "Are you out of your mind" look. Jermaine, and Tito came back in the living room looking shocked.

"Why you do that for?" Michael asked rubbing his cheek.

What do you mean why did I do that? You should know exactly why!

"Because you're a dumbass, duh." I rolled my eyes.

"Can you just believe us already? Kaitlyn is a lier and you need to know that. You need to break up with her." Tito walked up to Michael.

"Why do you want me to break up with her so badly?!" He shouted.

"Michael! Are you serious?! Are you smoking something cause we really explained it all to you!" I shouted getting irritated.

"No! I meant that why are y'all making up stuff because ya'll don't like her?! She did completely nothing! She's innocent and you need to leave her alone! She's gone through so much in her life!" He cried.

"How do you know that?! You haven't even been with her for a year!" I threw my hand up.

"I know everything about her so just please leave her alone! She's innocent!" He cried.

"How is she innocent? She wants the fame, she wants your money. It's obvious Michael, open your ears and eyes!" Jermaine slapped both hands on Michael's shoulders. "She's always asking you to buy her stuff and do everything for her! You can't tell me she never done that before!"

Michael cringed and slapped his hands off his shoulders. I became shocked from what Jermaine said making me realize she's probably a gold digger.

"I admit it!" Michael threw his hands up and backed away from Jermaine. "She does ask me to buy her stuff. I love spoiling her. Isn't that what you do to girlfriends?" He shrugged.

"Yes you do that to girlfriends but not when they love you because you're famous and you have all the money and not when they have to lie about things!" Jermaine yelled.

"She doesn't love me because I'm famous and rich. She's explained to me about all that. She loves me for who I am. She only wants me!" Michael pointed at his chest.

"Mike. You stupid. Imma just have to leave." Tito held the peace sign while walking and rushed up stairs.

I don't blame him...

"I don't understand why y'all would just make up stuff because y'all don't like her. Y'all are probably the ones who's lying and blaming it on her!" He rolled his eyes.

"We're not lying Michael" I grabbed my hair.

" And we wouldn't make up stuff just because we don't like somebody. We don't like her for a reason." Jermaine leaned against the wall.

"Y'all are mad at me because I'm dating a person y'all don't like?!" Michael puzzled.

"Yes we're mad because you're dating Kaitlyn cause you know what, we know that she's not a good person! Ariel and I knew her for years and you only knew her for a damn month Michael and you still won't believe us! Michael, I'm your sister, I would never lie to you in a serious situation like this!" I walked closer to Michael.

"Michael, I've not known Kaitlyn for a month too and I know she's a bad person." Jermaine held a hand up.

"Because Ariel and Latoya are telling you that she's a bad person. Don't believe them, they're just jealous." Michael told Jermaine.

"We're not jealous you stupid freak!" I clenched my fists.

"No I've seen things that Kaitlyn done. She's horrible." Jermaine shook his head and walked over to the couch.

"Ariel is the one who's honest and she's a very good person. I may know her longer than you did but you still need to believe what I say about her. She's a very good person and I'm trying to tell you and you still choose Kaitlyn?!"

"Ariel is just mad because she thought that I was gonna date her but instead I chose Kaitlyn." He mumbled.

Michael walked passed me mumbling something else under his breath.

"So you played her just to make her think that you like her?" I turned around and followed him to the office room.

He didn't answer, he just shook his head and mumbled to himself. He grabbed some papers off the table and straightened them up. I waited behind him for him to answer my question with my arms crossed and leaning on one hip. He grabbed his backpack from the floor and slammed it on the table and dug through his backpack aggressively.

I know this dumbass didn't ignore me like that...

"Hello?" I called.

No answer. He pulled the chair out and slammed himself down, still digging through his backpack.

"I asked you a question." I said in an attitude tone.

He pound his fist on the table unexpectedly and turned his head toward me.

"I have to do my homework. Go away." He gritted his teeth.

"I won't leave until you answer my question." I rolled my eyes.

He smacked his teeth, turned around and took some papers out of his backpack.

"I wish I never knew Ariel." He mumbled.

"Michael, another thing, you knew Ariel since you was younger." I added.

"We didn't really get to know each other through the years." He mumbled as he took out a pencil out his backpack and I can hear him sign his name on the paper aggressively on the table.

"Okay. I'll tell you facts about her." I pulled out a chair next to Michael. "Then I'll tell you about Kaitlyn." I sat down and turn my body towards him.

"I already know about them both! Can you just leave me alone?!" He raised his voice getting irritated and clenching his fists.

"You don't know everything about them, you only believe what you hear about Ariel from Kaitlyn." I pound my fist on the table.

"Because she's my girlfriend." He spat.

"Not for long." I mumbled and crossed my arms, sitting back in the chair.

He smacked his teeth again and looked at his paper.

"Ariel, she's really honest, if you ask her for her opinion, she'll tell you how she feels. She's really sweet and she's not a bully! Kaitlyn on the other hand, she lies waaay too much and likes attention. She wants your fame and she wants people to like her, not Ariel."  I explained.

"She does not want my fame! I know her well! I do! You're lying to me so that I can break up with her and be with Ariel!" He assumed.

"No I'm not! I'm telling you the truth so I can protect you Michael! You always say that you want to be with a very honest, caring and loving person and I'm telling you that she's not the one! And if Ariel wasn't dating Prince, Ariel would be the one."

"Kaitlyn is the one! She is honest, caring and loving to me and I'm happy to be with her! You can't tell me that she's not the one or not, I'm the one who's supposed to know that! Stay out of my love life! I really don't need you to be in my business!" He held his hand up and looked at his paper.

I got up from my chair and slammed it to the table.

"Don't be crying to me if she do something bad to you." I mumbled walking away and suddenly bumping into Joseph.

I backed away nervously and looked up at him. His thick, black eyebrows are furrowed and his lips are pouted, making his face look like he's ready to kill someone. I look down and he has his long and thick black belt with a golden buckle in his right fist.

Joseph gets mad at every single thing. He beats up my brothers the most and rarely beat my sisters and I. While my brothers are rehearsing, he'll beat them up after they've done something wrong. He beats them up for calling him "dad", he beats them up for staring at him too much and talking to him a lot. If my sisters and I do it, he gets mad, but he doesn't beat us up.

"Why do you want Michael to be with Ariel." Joseph deep voice was dark and terrifying.

I thought about the argument that Michael and I had and that maybe Joseph overheard us yelling at each other or one of the brothers told him what's going on.

I gulped, "B-B-Because Ariel is a better person than Kaitlyn is." I stuttered.

He cringed, "No she's not. That bitch bullies Kaitlyn." He mumbled.

"She does not. Kaitlyn lied to our fans about that. Kaitlyn bullies me too. I want Michael to break up with her to protect him." I told him.

He sighed loudly and rolled his eyes.

"I don't care what's going on, Michael is not going to break up with Kaitlyn." He gritted his teeth.

"Why not Joseph? She's a bad person and Michael deserves a good person like Ariel." I shrugged.

"I don't want that girl to be dating Michael. She's already dating that faggot anyway." He spat.

"If Michael continues to be with Kaitlyn, we'll get more money." He assured.

"Who cares about the money?! I'm doing this for my brother and best friend." I demanded.

"I'm the grown up! So I want you to do what I tell you to do! Leave Michael and Kaitlyn alone!" He demanded holding the belt up behind him showing me that he might hit me with it if I say something else.

"You leave them alone! Kaitlyn is a blessing to us! We get more money because of her and we become more popular!" He shouted with spit flying everywhere from his mouth.

"If you ever break them up, you and Michael gonna have a beat down!" He raged.

I can't believe this...

I stomped my way to the stairs and stomped up the stairs aggressively reach to my room. I stormed into my room and slammed the door behind me.
