Reign blows out a quiet breath while the elevator moves up to her designated floor. Stepping out the elevator she sees a patient walking with their IV pole. Shaking her head she continues onto her best friends hospital room.

"Heyyy" She closes the door after walking in.

"Hey" Mel mumbles out after attempting to clear her throat.

"You need some water?" Reign ask, going over to the stand by her bed to retrieve the bottle of water sitting there.

"No no i'm fi-"

"Take it" She insists holding the bottle of water out to her.

Deeply exhaling, she grabs the water from her hand taking a huge gulp feeling it sooth her throat.

"Thank you" Reign nods her head sitting down.

"What you been up to?"

"Sitting in this damn hospital bed taking treatments everyday..there's nothing else i can do" Mel finished rolling her eyes.

"Are the treatments making you feel any better?"

"Ye- No not really" She answers sighing.

"You want me to talk to the doctors to find out any other options?" Reign ask, furrowing her eyebrows.

"No it's fine really, it'll eventually get better"

Reign was still going to ask the doctor about other treatments for Mel. Obviously the treatments that she was taking just made her look even more sick and by this time Reign felt she should be looking a little better not worse.

"Well i'll switch the subject then...guess what" Reign says.

"What?" Mel responds with an eyebrow raise.

Taking her phone out from her purse, she turns some music on putting the volume at its highest before talking again.

"I killed somebody the other day" She says making a 'yikes' face.

"Who? And why?..didn't you say you were done with that type of stuff?"

"This guy also i won't go into details just know it was for business and i was done with that kind of stuff i jus- i don't know something pulled me back."

"Well i've known you your whole life and you were made for that kind of stuff. If you want to be a normal person without those urges it's going to take you a lot of time and hard work." Mel knew that Reign had a problem with killing but she had hopes that now her being a mother would put a stop to that.

"I know" Reign also knew she had a problem with certain urges and she also knew that running a drug organization again wasn't going to help with her problems.

"Have you talked to your therapist yet?" Mel had already known that Reign was seeking professional help, she was actually the one that threw the idea in her head.

"No i haven't really been answering her calls since we got down here"

"Reign Isla Armani if you don't call that woman back and set you up a session."

"Well okay 'mom'" An amused Reign says causing Mel to suck her teeth.

"I did sound kind of motherly, didn't i?"

"Yea you did"

"Speaking of mothers, where are my niece and nephew?" Mel speaks as she turns Reigns phone volume down because it was still blasting music on her bed and they had finished their previous conversation.

"They're at school..i actually have to pick them up in a minute" Reigns takes her phone off the bed looking at the time before throwing her phone back in her purse.
