Normani's POV
"Hi Mani," I opened my eyes and saw Ryan and Solana standing over me.

"We've been in the waiting room all night," Ryan bent down to hug me.

I stood up, wrapping my arms around her. Solana came from the other side kissing my cheek.

I exhaled in relief.

"Thank you guys,"

"You slept in this chair last night?" Solana asked in disbelief.

I nodded my head.

"We gotta get you something to eat," Ryan grabbed my bag behind me.

"Where's everyone?"

"Your aunts are back at their hotel, my moms at work and Megan had to go to work too, she said she'll be back after her shift but she didn't wanna wake you," Ryan explained.

"I don't want to leave her," I looked over at my gma. At peace.

"We'll be back, and you have to get some good sleep you have your internship tomorrow,"

"I'll sleep here again,"

"Normani, I'll bring you to the college and pick you up. I don't want you alone," Solana , who's never serious, showed a lot of concern.

I pouted, "aweeeee,"

"Come on let's get some food," Ryan tugged both of our arms and we found our way to Ryan's car.

"First of all you got all types of drunk and why you didn't call me?"

I shook my head. "How'd you hear?"

"You act like youn have a phone. Rome said he gave you a bottle and you said you'd text him when you got home. And then he started getting worried and texted all of us, then the groupchat the one you're in,"

"I haven't checked my phone since like yesterday morning," I pulled my phone from my bag.

So many notifications and messages.

"Keith, Kehlani and Rome were here too but Keith went back to the store to help my mom, Kehlani had work and Rome went to go shower since he stayed her all night after the gym."

"All look at all yall supportive," I smiled. Megan was right,  I'm not alone. I have some real people by my side.

"So why you was drinking?" Solana asked

"I was stressed. Everything was too much and I broke down. I drank and I woke up to hear terrible news and I hate myself for it,"

"Ay, don't do that mani boo. It's okay to fuck up but everything that happen with Grandma is not your fault do you understand?" Solana snatched my chin from the front seat. Making me understand.

"You know she loves you girl. I doubt she'd be upset with you anyways," Ryan added.

"I just feel helpless.. my gma could die and my last memory would be me neglecting her," I rubbed my temples.

"The doctor said she's looking good, only time will tell Mani boo," Solana held my hand.

I sunk in the back seat. Not really having an appetite.

"Come on, let's go inside and get some Chinese," Ryan stepped out of the car and opened my door.

We were led to an empty booth.

I looked down at my phone that I had set on the table over my menu. It was another message from Paige. I didn't reply before because I just didn't feel like it.
