Chapter 19.3

TREY

   I waited for the pizza to heat. How do people eat cold pizza? I hated cold food.  There was silence, it usually was comfortable but this was a different kind of silence.

"How did you cope?" Khal asked.

Cope?

"Cope?" I asked.

"Yea, when y-your mom you know died." She muttered.

I chuckled.

"Trust me. You ain't gonna do that sh't I did. I was young and stupid," I replied truthfully.

"Just tell me, tell me all you did. You must have done sumn' right, look at you," She pleaded.

"Babe do-" I started but she cut me off.

"Trey." She whined.

"No, come here," I said.

She walked over to me and I put her to sit on top of the island while I stood between her legs. I then looked in her eyes, cupping her cheeks. Tears were threatening to fall. I gently kissed her.

"Hey listen to me. It's gonna be okay. People come and go Khal. I saw my mom murdered right in front of me in cold blood. The greatest woman in my life was just taken away before I could even blink properly. It was painful and it wasn't any better to come home to an empty house because my father fled. I made young stupid decisions. I started drinking, I was suicidal, I was the youngest fellow in the gang, baby.  I then realized with some good intervention and Drew's fists that I couldn't keep destroying myself because I couldn't accept my mother's death. She wouldn't want that for me and the last thing I wanted to do was disappoint her." Khal closed her eyes and took a deep breath, I kissed her once more, " So, you see you're not gonna do that sh't I did. You're gonna live yo' best life and I know it's gonna be hard but I'll be there with you babe. Mama Pierce ain't gone yet so stop thinking about it and spend as much time as you can with her and cherish it."

"Trey. It's ma' mom. The woman that I had looked up to and has been there my entire life. I really don't know what to do. She is dying," She said, her voice cracking till a tear finally fell.

"Khal. Babe." I wiped her tears as they were now pouring uncontrollably.

I just held her and lifted her up, allowing her to wrap her legs around me as she sobbed in the crook of my neck. I walked upstairs with her and laid on the bed with her on top of me crying. I rubbed soothing circles on her back.

"Sshh." I cooed.

This reminded me so much of the death of my mom and how I would be crying every night. I don't want Khal to destroy herself because of her mother's death. Death does that to people.

.

Khal ended up falling asleep and I was about to when,

"Yo' Trey I took some of yo Mac n' cheese and pizza!" Drew barged in.

Khal shifted.

"Ssshhh!" I quieted him.

"Oh sorry." He chuckled.

I gently moved Khal off me and made sure she was comfortable. I got up and pushed Drew out the room.

"Seriously niqq'h?! Could you not leave the food?" I asked shaking my head.

"You got some goodie goods from Khali, huh? Yo' ass would have been cussing ma' ass right now," Drew said taking a bite of pizza.

"I am not gonna argue with you okay? That's that." I simply shrugged.

Drew put his hand on my forehead then my neck as if checking my temperature. I swatted his hands away.

"Oooh! She got you good. If I knew it only took Khali and her blessed self to get you like this. I would have been introduced yo asses, " Drew voiced.

"I don't know whether to call you an idiot or a fool," I commented, taking a slice of pizza.

Just then we heard small shuffling, we looked to see Khal walking down the stairs. She rubbed her eyes then looked around until her eyes landed on me.

"Baby momma!" Drew exclaimed.

"Baby daddy," She greeted with a sad smile.

Drew noticed.

"You okay?" he asked walking over to her.

The close proximity of the two should have bothered me but it didn't. I know those two are close and Drew will kill for her.

"I just couldn't sleep, been thinking." She said softly.

"About?" He prolonged.

"Ma' mom." She said looking up at Drew with glossy eyes.

Drew mouthed an 'oh' and pulled her into a hug. She cried for a bit before Drew wiped her eyes and whispered things to her which made her smile.

KHALI

"It's gonna be okay, trust me. She is not gone yet. She is still here, and you just need to cherish life with her. If you need anything, you know you got me. Now smile, baby momma, I don't want to see you pouting and I heard you got some bomb d'ck so no need for pouting." Drew said.

I smiled and hugged him again. I am glad I have people in my life like him. I walked over to Trey,

"I want ma Mac n' cheese and pizza."  I smiled.

He chuckled.

"Drew's greedy ass took," Trey informed.

I shook my head as he made my plate.

I took the plate and went to sit down, turning on the TV. Trey made a plate and he and Drew sat beside me.

ALECIA

"Are you sure?" the doctor asked.

"Yes," I replied.
