Leonardo Santiago's POV.

"What the fuck is this?!" I ask, incredulously.

My sister, Jayla, looks up and glares at me, then rolls her eyes before she continues rubbing Dana's back soothingly.

"Kwabena, sit down" my mom says.

For once, she didn't seem to notice the fact that I just cussed.

I look at my dad and he gestures to the chair opposite Dana with his eyes.

I sit and look at her.

She avoids eye-contact with me and instead, she looks at the cup of tea, she is nursing in her hands.

"Why is she here?" I ask.

Dana looks at me.

"Leo- -" she starts, but I cut her off.

"Are you pregnant?!" I ask, feeling my heart jumping in my chest from pure fear.

"No!" She exclaims.

"God forbid!" My dad says under his breath.

"I came to explain myself and say that I'm sorry yet again." She mumbles.

I snort.

"You had to get everyone involved?" I ask through gritted teeth.

"Everyone already is involved!" She sighs.

"You should have thought of that!" My dad yells standing up and she flinches.

Jayla puts a protective arm in front of her and my mom stands up.

"Matéo. Please calm down, baby" she says to my seething father.

His whole body is tense and he looks ready to attack.

His face had reddened with rage and a vein in his neck is throbbing hard.

My mom approaches him.

"Let Leo decide what to do." She says, making my heart jump at the sound of my own name.

"Let them speak in private and then we can go from there, okay?" She says, smoothing her hands over his chest.

He relaxes, his skin complexion going back to normal.

She kisses him softly.

"Do you trust me?" She asks and he nods.

"Both of you go and talk" she says, turning to face us.

She stands up and so do I.

I leave the room and she follows closely behind.

We go up to my room and I let her in, before closing the door after her.

I sit on my bed and she sits next to me.

Silence.

"Leo, would you say something?" She says, fiddling with her nails.
