Imani and Asia sat in Imani's bedroom, watching the first Coming To America. While Imani was trying to enjoy the movie, she had this weird feeling that Asia had something to tell her. She picked up the remote and paused the movie before turning to look at her friend.
"Do you have to tell me something?" She asked.
She furrowed her brows. "No, why would you think I have something to tell you?" Her tone sounded very sarcastic.
"Because you keep looking at me with this look on your face."
"Well I do have something to tell you, but I was told not to. But it's too important for you not to know. So I'm gonna tell you."
Imani furrowed her brows. "What's up?"
She took a deep breath before talking. "Remember when we went to the hospital to see your mom and Michael left. Well I followed him and he told me something crazy."
"Well what did he say?" She dragged out the 'ay' while shaking Asia's shoulders.
"He told me he was diagnosed with Leukemia at the start of the year..."
Imani stared at her with her mouth dropped. "Why did he tell you before he told me?"
"I don't know your, gonna have to ask him that." Asia shrugged.
She nodded before getting up and grabbing her car keys.
Asia furrowed her brows. "Um where are you going?"
"We are going to see Michael." She explained. "Come on."
Imani heard Asia mutter something under her breath along the lines of "Aw hell" but she paid it no mind.

When they pulled up to Michael's house, Imani quickly got out while Asia nervously trailed behind her. She walked up to his his door and rang the doorbell twice before waiting patiently.
"Hi-" Michael started when he opened the door, but Imani cut him off.
"When were you gonna tell me you were sick?" She asked.
Michael eyes traveled over to Asia. "I thought I told you not to tell her!" He exclaimed through gritted teeth.
"I had too!"
He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes tightly. "Look I'm sorry for not telling you, but I didn't want you to worry."
"We've been friends for such a long time but you didn't even think to tell me?" Imani asked, hurt in her eyes.
"I'm sorry?"
"Whatever." Imani rolled her eyes and waved him off, walking away.
