"You know, when girls get to know you that most likely means they really like you.. trust me we wouldn't waste our time." I patted Mikah's head and he shrugged me off.

"I'm not looking for anything serious right now."

"Well I would hope so, you are twelve."

"Ariya!" I heard Zion yell.

"Yeah!?"

"There's someone on the phone for you!"

I stood up and picked up the home phone, pressing it to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Is this Ariya Kingston?"

"Yes.. who's asking?" I eyed Mikah from the table across the room. He shrugged and I turned my back to rest on the kitchen counter.

"Are you in any relation to Khyson Johnson?"

"Well.. we're best friends?"

"You're on his emergency contact list.. he's been in an accident."

My heart fell and the voices around me muffled, like the colour the draining from my vision.

"Pardon?" It was almost as if I couldn't accept the fact.

The man told me the location of the hospital and hopped on the bus, when the bus dropped me off I rushed inside.

"I'm looking for a Khyson Johnson?"

"Name?"

"Ariya Kingston."

"He was admitted on floor 3, room 27b on the south wing."

"I-thanks."

I rushed into the elevator and rushed down the halls. Until I rounded the corner and found the room, outside sat Khyson's grandmother. Her head in her hands.

"Ma?" I sat down beside her and she lifted her head from her hands, staring at me. The pain in her eyes imminent.

"Ariya, thank goodness."

"Is everything alright? Is Khyson okay, is.."

It was like my whole body was on edge, my stomach curled and my fingers clutched the old chairs.

"Khyson's grandfather.. I-he didn't make it, Ariya. I cant-I can't bare the fact of telling him, please I can't." She begged.

I've known this woman since the fourth grade and I've never seen her so broken. She loved both of them, but she just lost the love of her life.
