"It's Miah birthday today." Meshell, K'yonii, K'yonaa and K'yonn's mother said barely able to breathe

"Mommy. It's April 29th. Miah's birthday is October 10th." K'yonii said sweetly "Do you need water?" K'yonii asked her mom worriedly

"No. Why aren't you at school?" Meshell asked unable too move as well "I missed the bus. I'm waiting on the late bus" K'yonii shrugged

"But I have to leave now it comes in 2 minutes." she said getting up to kiss her mother's head "I love you. See you later mommy." K'yonii said getting an I love you in return

"K'yonn, K'yonii and K'yonaa. Get your stuff and go to the office you guys are going home." They're teacher, Ms. Rozzi, dismissed with a sadden face

They all had the same class since their mother refused to have them separated. I mean since their triplets they haven't been separated their whole lives...Literally.

Making their way to the office the principal was already outside greeting them with a small smile that wanted to turned into a frown.

They were greeted by their phony grandmother, Rosita who didn't really like them but put up with them for their mother considering she was the only child.

"Hi nana." The three said in unison while they're grandmother sat there with a sadden face meaning she had bad news for the three.

"Follow me." she told them squeakily and quietly. They looked at each other confused but ended up trailing behind her.

"Okay." their grandmother started bit began to get teary "Your mother...she uhh. She passed away this morning." She said as her voice cracked

"What?" K'yonii asked as tears threatened to fall down her face. Meanwhile K'yonn and K'yonaa were bawling their eyes out.

K'yonii felt that as the oldest she was supposed to hold her emotions together for them. She didn't cry. Well a couple of tears escaped her eyes but that was it.

She felt as if it was her fault and that she should have stayed with her mom or told someone to keep an eye out and none of this would have happened.

Everyday K'yonii blamed herself while her brother and sister cried themselves to sleep. She'd always think too hard and space out when she thought of her mom.

Walking up to her mom's casket with her sister on her left and brother on her right she just stood there. Not shedding a tear.

She turned around hearing the door close seeing a face she hadn't seen in about a month or two. "Daddy?" she said to herself dropping her siblings hands running to him

"Are you coming home today?" she asked wanting to cry but she held herself together. He ignored her holdin' her tightly but eventually decided to answer

"Not today. But soon. I promise." he said and he meant it. Their father K'yonn was in the county for drug possession and using a gun without an license.

Since his wife had passed away the jail decided to let him attend the funeral and also the repass.

"So are you ready to talk about your mom?" Therapist Patrice Scincer asked a now 10 almost 11 year old K'yonii

But, K'yonii didn't answer her. All she did was look at her blankly. "Well are you ready to talk at all?" Scincer questioned getting the same response

A blank stare.

"You got me wastin' my money on that damn therapist and you don't say shit. But when your home you all talk." Rosita, their grandmother snapped

"I didn't tell you to get a th-" *SMACK*. A smack to the face is what cut her off. "KEEP YO HANDS OFF OF ME LADY!" K'yonii said shoving her grandma making her stumble

"I'm gon' kill her." K'yonii stated calmly.

"Yonii grandma fell." Yonaa said holding her laugh "I pushed that old bitch she ain't fall." K'yonii frowned making K'yonn laugh

"Can we go back to mama house since it's under her's and your name?" K'yonii asked her daddy over the phone. Not over the built in telephones from the jailhouse an actual phone.

"You know too much." he chuckled and she laughed as well "But are we allowed too?" she questioned again

"Yea uncle Mazi takin' care of the house." he told her and she smiled. Uncle Mazi was her favorite. "Can we go right now I don't want to be here." she asked quickly

"Why not? What's wrong?" he frowned "Nana slapped me today and I pushed her down. And it mad me really angry-" she told him

"She slapped you? That lady ain't right in the head. I'm gone text uncle Mazi and see if he can get y'all" he said with anger in his voice little did she know there was no text being sent

"Where is KJ and Yonaa?" he asked "KJ in his room playin' his game and Yonaa cried herself to sleep in my lap." she answered

"Okay where is Rosita?" he asked mugging the thought of her name "She's asleep." K'yonii answered boredly

"Okay wake up your sister and tell your brother to stay in the room with you." he told her and she rubbed K'yonaa's face until she woke up

"I be right back okay? Talk to daddy." She told her softly handing Yonaa the phone. Walking across to KJ's room she tip toed so she didn't make much noise.

"Bubba." she said calling him by his other nickname but he didn't answer so she tapped his shoulder and he flinched hard.

"Oh I thought you were nana." he said realizing it was just his sister and she furrowed her eyebrows at his statement.

"What you mean?" she asked "Right before she came in here she whooped me because I was on the game." he shrugged as if it was nothing

"And I have this now so I can't sleep on that side." he said showing a big cut that looked to be almost infected.

"Oh...Okay follow me." she said leading them back to her and K'yonaa's room. Now I'm really gone kill her. She thought to herself

She'd always get whooped and punished for her sibling they never told her too she would just take the blame.

But once again her being the oldest out of the three she decided that was another way to protect them, so hearing that KJ got whooped was the final draw.

As she opened the door to walk in her room K'yonaa beat her to it "Daddy said go outside." she told her and they nodded slipping their shoes on.

"I'm gone be right there." K'yonii told them "Hurry." Yonaa said shakily "Go to the car sissy I'ma be there." she promised

"Okay." she said hugging her before holding K'yonn's hand making their way to the car

K'yonii made her way to the kitchen putting on cleaning gloves grabbing the sharpest knife and a pan. She tip toed up the stairs quickly considering her uncle was downstairs waiting.

She opened her grandma's room door and seen her sleeping peacefully. K'yonii raised the pan and cracked her grandma in the head with no remorse.

She beat her until blood escaped her nose. She then stabbed her grandma repeatedly in the chest about 30 times.

When she was done she checked her pulse. There wasn't one. She backed away from her now deceased grandma as if nothing happened, she left the room to wash the dishes and set her shoes on fire leaving the gloves in them on the porch.

"Finally girl dang." Mazi playfully mugged as she got in the backseat "Yonii I thought something happened to you." Yonaa whined resting her head on K'yonii's lap

"I'm straight. You straight. He straight. We straight." She spoke lowly gaining a nod while she played in her hair

Yes K'yonii was 10 but her mindset was far ahead.

Pulling up to the house that wasn't too far but wasn't close to their grandmothers. They hopped out before being stopped by uncle Mazi

"I got a surprise for y'all." he told them making their eyes light up in excitement. "What?" they asked in unison making him laugh

"Go wait by the door. I need to talk to K'yonii." he told them and they nodded running to the door eagerly.

"What you do?" he asked "What made you burn your shoes?" he asked more clearly "Mark my territory" she said simply and he nodded still wanting more than just that.

"Aight. Close y'all eyes." Mazi said walking up the steps with them behind him excited to see their suprise.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Open!"

"DADDDDY" they squealed running into the house almost knocking him over while he and Mazi laughed at their reactions.

"Are you staying forever?" "Don't leave again." "Can we live with you?" The kids rambled throwing questions out.

"Yes I am staying forever and you can live with me." K'yonn smiled proudly that he got out early and just in time on good behavior.

"When did you come home?" K'yonii asked quietly "Today. I went to go see you guys but Rosita threaten to call the police." he explained

"KJ and Yonaa go to sleep y'all look tired we can hang out tomorrow." he told them seeing them fight their sleep

They got up going to their old rooms sleepily. "How you the oldest and the shortest?" K'yonn joked making K'yonii buck at him as she walked behind her siblings.

When they all made it upstairs, Mazi finally decided to speak up "Somethin' wrong with K'yonni bro. I don't know what though, she burned her shoes on the porch and when I asked her about it she said to mark her territory." he informed

"Right now?" K'yonn asked startled and Mazi nodded "She's dull man. She need you." Mazi told him and he made his way up the steps checking in Yonaa and KJ room before heading to Yonii's.

He opened her door turning the light on seeing she was wide awoke. She looked over to him and smiled small

"What's wrong?" he sat down pulling her onto his lap "I did a bad thing and I don't feel bad but not feeling bad for doing the bad thing I did makes me feel bad but not feel bad." she said all in one breath

"What you do?" he asked and she let out a deep breath "Something that caused serious damage." she mumbled

"On a scale from 1 to 10. How bad was it?" he asked "17." she answered "What kind of bad thing." he asked "Something that can get me in trouble with the law." she said

"You talk really well." he complimented. "Now what did you do that can get you in trouble with the law?" he asked and she looked him dead in the eyes

Then got up to open her door and see if anyone was listening to their conversation and no one was up. She closed the door and stood in front of it.

"Uhm... I killed my nana." she said and his mouth fell and eyes widened "We got to go like right now." he said quickly scooping her up.

K'yonn jogged down the stairs still holding K'yonii in his hands. "Mazi we be right back." K'yonn told him "You straight?" Mazi asked "I'm good" he nodded

He rushed out the house placing K'yonii in the front seat and walked over to the drivers side. "Daddy?" K'yonii called out softly

"Yes princess?" he glanced at her as he pulled out the driveway. "Am I in trouble?" she asked and he shook his head "No you're not." he told her truthfully

"And could we keep this between us. Like don't even tell uncle Mazi." she said and he sighed "Well we have to tell some people to get the house clean but they won't tell anyone and that's it." he said reminding himself he needs clean up crew.

"Okay but that's it nobody else." she said and he nodded making a right taking a back street to Rositas house.

After around a 5 minute drive the made it to Rosita house. The shoes had fully burned out and weren't left with many pieces.

"Here." K'yonn said handing K'yonii gloves plus he had just gotten off the phone with clean up crew. He was going to grab all of his kids things and cleanup crew was going to wipe the house as if no ones been there.

"We have to wait for the people to come. How did you?...Kill her?" he asked whats been on his mind the whole time

"A knife and pan." she shrugged "Where did you put them?" he asked "I washed the dishes." she said and he bussed out laughing

"Wowwww." he dragged out "And you don't feel no guilt?" he asked and she shook her head "I don't do things for no reason." she said lowly

"I'm never gone make you mad." K'yonn said going to answer the door he heard a secret knock "What's up TK- nigga you brought your daughter" one of his workers, Meechi, better yet bestfriend asked

"Nigga she the one did it." K'yonn mugged "Can I get your autograph?" he walked up to K'yonii making her look at him confused.

"Nigga get out my daughter face." K'yonn chuckled "Take me the room little one." he told K'yonii holding her hand

"When she walked up the stairs they followed behind her to her grandmothers room. She opened the door and seen Rosita laying in a pool of blood.

"You did that?" Meechie asked K'yonii with his eyes widened "Tuh no." she lied making them laugh "Where the weapons?" Meech asked looking around the body

"Bruh I asked her what she used she gone say 'A pan and a knife' then I was like what you do with them she said 'I washed the dishes.'" K'yonn laughed

"See you gone be crazy." Meech said shaking his head

"How do you feel about social interaction? Your dad says you don't talk a lot." Kasia, their aunt who is a also a therapist asked K'yonii

"I don't like it." K'yonii said lowly "Can you ecpress your emotions?" she asked her "Not easily." she shrugged

"Would you join any sports?"

"No I don't like the thought of people besides family around me"

"Do you think you can form relationships."

"Yea"

"How if you don't like people"

"That doesn't mean anything I will want to have kids later in my future. In order to have kids I need to be interested in a significant other."

"Or you can get a donor."

"That I would have to communicate with."

"You got a point."

"I know can I leave now"

"You got a boyfriend?"

"TT!"

"Ight ight."

"K'yonii tell Yonaa that daddy comin' back." KJ groaned "Yo c'mere stop bein' a baby he comin' back girl he just went to the store" K'yonii mumbled holding K'yonaa

"Yea but when black men go to the store they don't come back." she said and K'yonii bussed out laughing

"Yonaa go lay down." K'yonii chuckled pointing at the stairs "Are you- laughing?" KJ teased "You just had to fuck it up." K'yonii straight faced him

"Yonii can you lay with me?" Yonaa asked quietly and K'yonii got up with no hesitation knowing she always had bad dreams.

"You know what nevermind wake me up for dinner." K'yonaa changed her mind "Ight. Bubba let me whoop yo ass in 2k.". K'yonii smiled

"I bet $200." KJ said and they shook hands "You might as well gone give up big dawg." K'yonii shrugged
