Tahny

"Lookin for me?" I ask casually while digging into my breakfast. Olivia strolls in the kitchen, leaning her upper half against the countertop across from me with that 'I already know so just tell me look'. I roll my eyes slightly and lean my chin on my palm, looking over at her. "Somethin happened last night." I go ahead and let out while grabbing my cup and taking a few drinks of juice.

"Oh I know" I chuckle softly at her as she gives me a knowing look, grabbing the stool beside me and settling into it. "But I need details, like deep deep details."

While eating, I told her everything that happened last night. From the bumping into each other to the dancing and singing then to the ending make out session. When I finished she was just starring at me with a look I couldn't even name. "So..?" I asked gently, raising my eyebrows at her. Olivia just pursed her lips and let out a deep sigh, slapping her hand on her forehead.

"So what you sayin is, you back fucking with this nigga after what he did to you? Tahny I love you, you know I do, and I will always support you but this is not it baby." I start chewing at the skin on my bottom lip. "Do you realize how much damage he did, huh? He LEFT you when you needed him and that's not just something to take lightly. You had a chance of dying because of him and he wasn't even there. I don't care how much you think you love him but when it boils down to it, he would rather keep his ego and dip than stay there and take care of you." Olivia shrugged gently and got up, walking back to the living room.

Jalen

"So what are you gonna do?" Jordan asked while lighting up our blunt, taking a few small puff before taking a long drag from it. I huff and slide further down in my chair, shrugging and sipping from my glass of Hennessey. "If we go father than this then it's perfect if not then I can't really blame her, y'know? All of this is up to her when it comes down to the decision. I can only sit and wait for her call or text." Collins walks out on the balcony where me and Jordan are at, sitting beside me with a ice cream sandwich in one hand and his Nintendo Switch in the other.

"Have you ate some actual food? You know how ma be on yo ass for eating snacks before actual food." Jordan says while passing the blunt to me, which I took and sighed as I let out smoke away from Collins face. "I ate when Jay cooked." I nod in agreement and look back at Jordan.

When we went back in the house Jordan's phone was ringing.

Jordan

"Who is it?" Jalen asked while playing with Collins, spinning him around while he laughed. "The doctor." Jay looked at me with a serious expression before I tapped Collins shoulder. "Go play my game or something, let me and Jordan talk for a bit." After he left the room, Jay sat down and I sat with him before answering the phone and putting it on speaker.

"Hi Mr. Coles, how are you?" I lean up in my sitting position. "Feeling better with the medication now. You?" The doctor cleared her throat before talking again. "I'm doing good. Listen I have good and bad news, which on you wanna hear first Mr. Coles?" Jalen takes a long drink from his cup as I respond. "Bad news."

"So we looked at your scans and your only getting worse Jordan. The cancer cells have spread from just the tops of your lungs to the bottom and if they continue to spread at this rate your lungs will shut down and you will be gone. The only way to stop it is to cut into you and hopefully replace the cells that are dead and spreading. I'm gonna be honest with you, without treatment, your looking at maybe 1 to 2 years left. If you continue smoking it will be months." I wipe a hand over my face and hold onto the bridge of my nose as I try not to get emotional. Jay puts a hand on my back before leaning closer to the phone. "What's the good news?" He says and rubs my back up and down when I uncover my face again. "The good things that we know someone who can do this procedure but he is a far distance from us. He lives in London and his name is Dr. Charles West and he's a very good friend of mine. I told him about your situation and he said he'll preform it IF you have the money for it. All I know if that he said the price ranges from 5 to 8.5 million because how dangerous it is and how tough it is to get enough clean cells to replace your dead ones."

"When can he do the surgery?" Jalen asks before I can even respond. "The soonest he can do it is in January." I let out a sigh and nod gently. "Alright, thank you." After hanging up, me and Jay just sit there for a minute.
