Nastasia and Hailee laid in Nani's bed binging Keeping Up With the Kardashians on Hulu as a post-school ritual. Nani was trying to get her mind off the fact that the guest room was now Sebastian's and that he actually lived with them. "You know, sometimes I just want to rip his head off," Nani growled. Hailee let Busker move in between the girls to take a nap but kept her hand on his head to pet him to sleep.

"I know. You hate him. We all know. Either fight him or move on," Hailee sighed. "If you obsess over this too much you're gonna become a Lifetime movie," she analyzed. Nastasia punched her friend's arm lightly and got off the bed.

"Shut up, psycho," she laughed. "You want anything? I'm thirsty," the hostess asked. Hailee shook her head and pulled out her phone. Nastasia shrugged and shut her bedroom door as she headed to the kitchen. There, she saw Dominique on the counter with Sebastian between her legs making out. "Bro, we eat there," she said, causing the two to separate. "That's fucking disgusting," she groaned. Sebastian stepped back to allow Dominique to slide off the counter.

"I'll be in your room," she whispered, before dashing out of view. Sebastian smacked his lips and shoved past Nastasia as she opened the refrigerator.

"Bitch," he insulted through a whisper. Nastasia rolled her eyes and grabbed a water bottle. "Why are you such a jealous cunt?" the melodramatic teen asked. Nastasia half giggled and sipped her water.

"Jealous? Why are you as smart as a box of rocks?" She retorted. Sebastian shoved Nastasia as she walked past him. She quickly grabbed a magazine from off the island as she stopped herself from falling and turned around. In a moments notice, Nastasia smacked him across the head with it. "I made you cry once. I can do it again. Don't get bold because you've got contacts instead of glasses," she threatened. Sebastian smirked and started to move past her.

"You know you were jealous just now seeing Dom and I. Admit it. You wanted me then and you still want me now. Well, when you get your little girlfriend out the way, let me know," he said before he grabbed her ass and headed back to his room. Nastasia gasped at the feeling of being groped by a guy who was basically her brother.

"Oh... my gosh," she gagged before she sprinted to her room and hopped on Hailee. The motion forced poor Busker out of his sleep and caused him to hop off the bed and move to his doggy bed in the corner.

"What did I tell you about the jumping thing!" Hailee yelled. Nastasia waved her off and straddled her bestie.

"Guess what just happened!" Nastasia whisper yelled even though Sebastian's room was on the other end of the hall.

"What?" Hailee asked as she pushed Nastasia off of her.

"Sebastian just groped my ass. He thinks I like him," she grimaced. Hailee's face dropped until her lips curled into a smile and she burst into laughter.

"That's absolutely gross! What are you gonna do?" She asked, trying to hold back her laughter. Nastasia rolled off of her friend and stayed completely still.

"Dude, I don't know. All I know is that this can't happen! I have a girlfriend and he is basically my brother," Nastasia grumbled. Hailee sat up and looked at the sixteen-year-old.

"But, you guys were raised together for five minutes. If you fucked with him no one would really say anything," Hailee urged. Nani's has dropped. She couldn't believe her ears

"My mom would say something. Petra would say something! Liola would say something! And I'm pretty sure this Dom girl would say a lot of things!" Nastasia said. Hailee shook her head with a smirk.

"The only person that would know would be me and I approve. He's hot and it's good. And you totally butchered the caption on your Instagram picture," Hailee said. Nastasia grimaced as she rolled onto her stomach. She had never thought about Sebastian in that way. Before today, she would've cut off his penis before ever riding it, but before today, she had never seen him show interest in her.

3:58 PM

Petra and Pippa sat in the parking garage of their building. "Are you nervous? We don't have to do this," Pippa asked. Petra bit her lip and sighed.

"I'm sorry, I want to be. I want to be ready, but I'm not. I'm scared. You love him, Nani loves him, but I don't know him. And now he's here and there isn't anything I can do. He's invaded my home and I just have to be okay with it. And I'm not. I'm sorry," she said before getting out the car and walking opposite the entrance. Pippa watched her daughter cross the street from her rear-view mirror. Once out of sight, Pippa dropped her head onto the steering wheel.

"Fuck," she whispered before her phone started to buzz in the cup holder. It was a call from Renée. She slowly grabbed her cell and answered the phone.

"Pippa?" Renée asked. Phillipa wiped her eyes and sniffled a bit in preparation to talk.

"Née, hey, wh-what's going on?" Pippa asked, leaning back in her seat and shutting her eyes.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to let Jasmine and me in," she giggled. Pippa looked at the clock in her car and quickly grabbed her bag.

"I'm sorry. I'm on my way up. I completely forgot," Pippa apologized. She hung up her phone and tripped over herself to get out of her car. She rushed up to the parking garage and to the elevator where she rode all the way up to the second to the last floor.

4:15 PM

Pippa dropped her keys in the dish and let her friends into her home. "Guys! I'm back!" She announced, knowing she left with three teenagers in her house. Jasmine and Renée took their places at the counter and watched their friend grab three wine glasses and a bottle of white.

"How is he?" Renée asked, accepting the glass from her bestie. Pippa poured she and Jasmine glasses and tossed the cork into the trash.

"He's good. The media still thinks he was in rehab and not jail, so he's trying to save face and get back into the world of music. I think he's going to start working on something for Pixar, but I'm not sure yet. He's had a meeting with their reps today," Pippa answered. She was praying that he got the gig so that he could go back to his life. She could tell that his 6-month stint in different group homes made him want to get back to normal as fast as possible. "How about Maddy? How is she?" Pippa asked. Jasmine rolled her eyes and laid her head on the counter. "That bad?" She asked. Jasmine nodded and rested her head on her hands.

"She and Ant are in a stalemate. Neither one will speak to the other and she has no intentions of moving back home anytime soon. I feel like if I had another one, I'd be able to at least focus on them for a while," Jasmine complained. Pippa and Renée gave her looks of comfort.

"If you want you can have one of mine. Ever since we brought Brielle's sisters, Brianna and Bryce, over from Africa and adopted them, they have been inseparable. But now they all hate each other and want nothing to do with one another. Even Benjamin. All of my kids are fighting about nothing," she said. Pippa nodded and glanced to the back rooms.

"I know what you mean. Once Sebastian moved back in, he and Nani immediately started feuding and Petra hasn't been home since Lin came back. Scott said that she's been sleeping there for the past two nights. And while I'm glad she's safe I wish there was a way to get everyone to one place in a safe place where we could all talk before we have to go to Lin's parents for dinner," Pippa said. Jasmine popped an eyebrow and sat up.

"Maybe you could go to a restaurant. It's an even playing field, there is food, and you guys can just talk," Jasmine suggested. Pippa shrugged and pulled out her phone.

"That's a good idea. If we are at a restaurant I don't have to cook and hopefully, no one will try to make a scene." Pippa said. The ladies agreed and watched her make a reservation at a restaurant up in Washington Heights. She needed a place that they had never been to so none could equate it to a bad memory. Especially when she dropped a semi-major bomb on everyone.

5:22 PM

Lin stroller into the house after his run to see Sebastian on the couch watching Netflix. "Hey, buddy," Lin said, as he grabbed a bottle of water. Sebastian glanced at him and turned off the TV. Silently he got up and started to walk off.  "Hey man! I didn't mean to disturb you. Where are you going?" Lin asked calmly. Sebastian rolled his eyes and leaned against the doorway of the hall.

"Sorry if I have nothing to say to the ass who abandoned me and then got back with the bitch that abandoned me. I guess I still have some bad blood between us," he scolded. Lin stared at his son in shock as Sebastian disappeared into the hall and toward his room. Not long after, Phillipa emerged from the bedroom with sad eyes.

"Hopefully we can start to talk this out at dinner tonight," she sighed. Lin chugged the last of his water and moved around the island.

"Let's hope," he said, before heading into the bedroom with Pippa not too far behind.

On the other side of their wall, Petra slipped back into her window, angry that her uncle had to send her home. She didn't want to go the dinner and certainly didn't want to be near her father. But she was going to as a courtesy of her mother. And because she had nowhere else to go. She just prayed that all the happy stories her sister told her would encase her mind and distract from the scary facts.
