Chapter 14

Running as fast as she could to Sheila's, Lilith saw her twin and Lip sitting out on the steps smoking. Their heads snapped up to see their sister jogging towards them, and their eyes widened when seeing her red hands.


"Oh my god, Bunny! Are you? Are you hurt?" The two males rushed out, as they looked over her for any injuries.


"There was shooting. Mickey and Kash" She replied, while pushing their hands off her indicating that she was okay.


"Holy shit. Mickey shot Kash?" Lip asked in surprise.


"Kash shot Mickey" She corrected, taking the smoke from Ian's hand and taking a much needed drag from it.


"What?" Ian chocked out.


"In the leg. He's fine though. I was gonna stay with him, but he told me to go before the cops showed up" Lilith shrugged. Her brothers shared a look, before looking back at their sister feeling more calm now.


"So, what'd i miss with mum?" She wondered.


"Well, you know how dad's a total fucking asshole?" Lip answered, making the girl look at him with a nod.


"Turns out he's the good one" Ian added, making her brows raise in utter surprise.


"You sure you're okay, Bunny?" Ian asked softly, as he gently cleaned off the semi-dry blood off his sisters hands.


"I'm fine, Carrot. How about we go in, and get this over with?" She smiled, making her brothers hook their arms through her and the three walked up into the house. Walking in, the first thing Lilith sees are her parents fighting. Nothing new there.


"Fuck you, Frank!" Monica yelled.


"Wait. You brought her back here?" Lip suddenly asked, gaining their attention. Lilith met Monica's eyes, and the girl wanted to either punch to woman or just leave and go home.


"Oh, my little Lilly" The woman gushed, but Lilith made no effort to move and stayed right by Ian.


"Wait. You knew where she was the whole time?" Lip stuttered, looking at his father with annoyance and shock. But no one got to answer, before an unfamiliar woman started talking.


"This little reunion was bound to happen sooner or later, anyway. We were thinking about coming around to talk to you about something---" She said, but Monica stood up and stopped her from continuing.


"No, no. Not now" She shook her head.


"Yes, now! Moni and i want to take Liam to live with us" The woman said. Lilith's heart dropped and her blood ran cold, as she stared at the two.


"You fucking what!!" Everyone turned to look at Lilith, who had spoken up first and it didn't take a genius to see how furious she looked.


"How about Moni sign whatever the hell it is you need, we get Liam?" Roberta said.


"Done" Frank quickly said, but Fiona wasn't having it.


"No fucking way! You can't have Liam" She exclaimed angrily.


"Why the hell not? He's not even Frank's" Monica stated.


"Fact is Liam is black. All you white folks scooping up black babies like fashion accessories have a rude awakening coming. No. There will be backlash if people don't stop underestimating the cultural importance of a black parent raising a black baby. Liam needs me and he's coming with us" Roberta said, and Lilith was about to explode.


"No. Out of the fucking question, Roberta!!" Lip spat venomously.


"Roberta and i wanna start a family of our own" That was the final strike for Lilith, who grabbed a vase near by and threw it on the ground gaining everyone's attention.


"What about the one you started, huh Monica!! What about us?! You wanna start a family with this fucking piece of shit, but you can't be bothered the stay and be with us?" She yelled, both Lip and Ian had to hold her back before she attacked the blonde woman.


"Do you have any idea what you've put us through?! No, of course you don't because all you cared about was drugs, alcohol and being a two bit dollar whore!" She spat viciously.

Her family all stood there shocked. They have never seen their sister this angry before, and it hurt them to see her like this.


"Lilly, baby please underst--" Monica tried to speak up but Lilith wasn't having it.


"No! You listen to me, Monica. You don't get to abandon us and then come back to choose your pick of the litter" Lilith exclaimed, walking closer to Monica.


"Oh. Now, that's not fair. Your mothers made mistakes but she's here now" Frank tried defusing the problem, but that only made the red-head more angry.


"Shut the fuck up, Frank and sit the fuck down" She ordered, making the man sit down quickly. 


"This is about what you didn't do, Monica. It's about what Fiona did" She said, pointing at her crying older sister.


"She took your place, and raised us. And let me tell you, she did a great fucking job. Debbie is class president, she's on the debate team going to nationals. And Lip, he's top of his class and i know for a fact he'll go far in life. Ian and i were promoted in ROTC, and we tested out of English and History. And little Carl made something blow up for his science fair" During Lilith's angsty speech, the rest of her siblings and even Monica were in tears by her words.


"And you know what? They did it all, no thanks to you, because you weren't here. Fiona is supposed to be our sister, not our mother yet here she is. Doing your fucking job, instead of living her life like she's supposed to. We've all worked our asses off to get where we are, because that's what a family does. They stick together. We're doing just fine without you. So you can take Manchurian Candidate with you, leave Liam with his family, fuck off and never come back!" With that said, the girl flipped off Monica and Roberta and stormed out of the house, leaving her gobsmacked family behind.
