"Oh my god, I miss my Mikey." Mercedes said.
"Ah miss him tu," Jess told her. "But we have te wayte until th' boys ge back wi' th' kids."
Sedes, Jess, and Heather sat in the living room. Jamia stood in the kitchen with another drink.

Grace snoke out back to the beach that evening and found Helena, staring off into the distance. The wind blew at her. The waves ran past her ankles and pulled back again to repeat. Her arms were wraped around her body trying to keep her warm.
Grace approached her slowly.
"Helena," she said.
Helena turned around.
"What are you doing out here?" she asked Grace. "The girls are going to be worried sick abou-"
"I was worried about you Helena. You've been out here for hours and the girls are losing it inside."
She paused for a moment.
"It's Frank." she told her. "I just don't wanna lose him. He's the only person I've evered loved who actually loved me in return."
"I know. You told me about it the first time we met."
"You remember that?"
"It was the first time someone gave me advice on love. But there was something you lied about."
"And what was that?"
"It was not too late for you to fall in love. Your heart may have been damaged, but Frank came and fixed it."
"You've grown into a smart, beautiful young woman, Grace. Ray raised you well."
They heard the riots going on from inside.
"We better go see what they're up to." Helena told Grace.
And the two went inside.
"Ah miss him tu," Jess told her. "But we have te wayte until th' boys ge back wi' th' kids."
