"Daddy, look at me go!" Chance said smiling as he ran down the court and made a basket.

"MY BOY!" I said smiling as I ran from the bleachers to hug him.

"I DID IT!" Chance said as he ran to hug me back.

As soon as I started to hug my baby boy, he started to disappear.

"Daddy, I don't wanna leave you. Daddy!"

"Baby boy!"

"Dadd..." Chance started to say, but he suddenly disappeared into thin air.

I fell to my knees crying before a door opened, and I seen the most familiar face. The face of an angel. My angel.

I haven't seen her in my dreams forever.

She smiled and waved before some person ran and dragged me to a door.

"Is that K—Hey, where you taking me?"

The person didn't say anything. They literally dragged me through the door.

"Wait! I just seen my—"

All of a sudden, the man pushed me into a room and I blacked out.

.........

"The dash, it's digi', the schedule busy
My head in a hoodie, my shorty a goodie
My cousins are crazy, my cousins like Boogie
Life is amazin', it is what it should be.."

The loud and familiar music that Chance and Marcus listen to starts playing as I woke up on wet concrete.

"Hm?" I said as I opened my eyes.

I realized I was laying next to a pool at some party.

"What the hell am I doing here?"

I noticed young people all around me.

Why am I the only older person here? I need to get back home.

"CANNONBALL, HOES!" A boy with long dreads said coming in my direction.

I screamed as it was too late for me to move out the way.

*SPLASH*

"Huh?" I asked confused.

I know that boy didn't just walk through me.

Am I a ghost?

Did I die?

I quickly got up as I ran up to a random girl who was sitting down on her phone.

"Excuse me, ma'am, can you see me?"

The girl didn't say anything.

"Ma'am?"

The girl laughed as she scrolled on Twitter and those other social media platforms while she ignored me.

"I know you don't know me, bu—"

"Girl, there you go! Why you being lame?" Another girl asked as she walked right through me.

"Oh yeah, I'm definitely dead. They can't see or feel me." I said as I started to panic.
