Chapter 15

Lee was woken up from either Jayy or Jeffree beating on her door. She groaned, rolling out of bed.

“Lee I swear don’t make me come in there,” Jayy called from the other side of the door.

“I’m coming! Hold you damn horses,” Lee yelled back at him. A few seconds later, she opened the door, in a different outfit than she had on before.

“Your child seems to be a little hungry. Last we checked, you’re the only one that can feed her,” Jayy said, looking down at Lee.

Lee sighed, “Fine. Can you bring her up here? I don’t want to walk back down there,” she asked Jayy, her voice cracking.

Jayy nodded as he went to retrieve Lilith from Jeffree. A few minutes later, Jayy returned with a crying Lilith in his arms.

Lee took Lilith from Jayy’s arms, thanked him, and closed her door. Minutes later, Lee called for Jayy to bring Lilith back to the living room as she followed him down the stairs.

“Jayy, can I borrow your car?” Lee asked as she made it to the bottom of the stairs.

Jayy turned around after he handed Lilith off to Jeffree, “And why are you wanting to borrow my car?” he asked, walking back to Lee.

“I was just wanting to go to the store. Too much to ask, brother?” Lee questioned back.

“Wait. You’re siblings?” Jeffree asked, turning around with Lilith still in his arms.

Jayy looked over at his boyfriend, his eyebrow raising in question, “I’ve told you this before, baby. Lee’s my sister. And she gets to go to the store for some random shit,” Jayy said, handing Lee his keys.

Lee smiled gently, “Thanks, Jayy. Do you and Jeffree want something while I’m out?” she asked, giving Jayy a hug.

“No thanks. Thank you for asking though,” Jayy replied, breaking the hug.

Lee nodded and walked outside to Jayy’s car. After a few hours, Lee came back with a few armloads of essential needs. Lee looked over at the couch, and to her surprise, Jeffree was asleep with Lilith in his arms, also asleep.

“Cuties,” Lee whispered, wondering where Jayy went.

Lilith shuffled in her sleep as Lee gently removed her from Jeffree’s arms. Lee smiled as Lilith gently opened her eyes and smiled.

“I close my eyes, begin to pray. Then tears of joy stream down my face. With arms wide open. Under the sunlight. Welcome to this place. I'll show you everything. With arms wide open,” Lee began to sing to Lilith, “We stand in awe. We’ve created life,” she sang, jumping when Jeffree cleared his throat.

“That was really beautiful,” Jeffree told Lee, walking over to her.

Lee looked down and smiled, “Thanks. I didn’t know I had woken you up,” she replied in a quiet voice.

“You didn’t wake me up, Lee. I woke up to look for Jayy. It’s cold in this house,” Jeffree told her with a laugh.

“I was looking for him too, Jeffree,” Lee replied, looking up at him.

“Hm. Maybe he went out for some cigarettes. Off that topic, where did you learn to sing?” Jeffree asked.

“I didn’t. It’s natural to me,” Lee replied, sighing heavily, “I really miss Jinxx.”

Jeffree gave Lee a gentle hug, “Don’t worry about it. I’m sure he’s fine, Lee,” Jeffree said, trying to reassure her. As soon as Jeffree finished his sentence, Jayy walked through the door, a pack of cigarettes in his hand.

“I thought you said you didn’t want anything while I was out,” Lee said, looking up at her brother.

“That’s before I realized I was out of smokes, Lee,” Jayy replied, looking down at her.

Lee got another phone call, so she handed Lilith back to Jeffree, and went up to her bedroom.
