THUG LIFE

7

(Btw this is going to be a little lengthy sorry in advance )

Saturday, 2:35pm

I've been sitting in this bed for the past 40 minutes trying to stop the room from spinning. I looked over to get my phone but I seen a sprite and aspirin. I took it slowly and tried to swallow the pill but I couldn't.

I slowly sat up but my stomach started turning. I quickly ran to the bathroom and barely made it to the toilet. I my stomach kept hurling every time I thought I was done. I felt him hold my hard for me while I just throwing up.

"Maybe alcohol ain fa you" he laughed while I flushed the toilet. I closed the lid and sat down.

"Haha very funny"

I got up to brush my teeth, while he stood there and watched me with a concerned look on his face.

"What?"I rinsed my mouth out and leaned back on the counter.

"Nun you should eat sum thou" he said walking out. I followed behind him and went to the kitchen. It was two plates stacked with Waffles and cheesy grits and shrimp. I sat down at the table and started eating slowly not wanting to throw up again.

I looked up and seen august staring at me like I was a lost soul. I chuckled and ate a spoonful of grits

"Why are you staring at me?"

He shook his head and went to eat again. I squinted my eyes at him and shook it off and ate my waffle. I looked up again and he had concern eyes

"Okay tell me what's wrong. Did I do something last night?" I said confused not really remembering anything at all.

"Um" he cleared his throat and sat up in his chair a bit. "Are you scared of the rain or sum?"

I looked ways from his stare not wanting to answer that question. I didn't realize it rained last night but I knew he would ask this eventually from the last time.

"Uh sorta"

I said not wanting to tell the full story but his eyes. Every time I looked at them it made me sink, it made want to tell him everything knowing it would be protected by him.

"Growing up every time it rained my life got worse than it already was" I stated looking down at my jittery hands. He nodded his head signaling me to continue.

"When it rained my parents got killed, when it rained we attended their funeral, it rained when the killer got off the hook and it rained when I got put into a foster
Home" I stated. He just looked at me as tears fell

"For some people rain washes their sorrows away and calms them, like a relief. For me it just feel like it brings nothing but hatred and madness in my life. Every time it rained something bad happens so I think about all the possibilities that Rico might be hurt just because of what he do now" I wiped my tears as they just kept falling. I grew frustrated because I hated when I cried.

"I'm sorry Promise youon deserve this feeling"

"It's...a process. That's why I always want to check on people just to make sure they made it to their destination safe, make memories and never hold grudges because life it too short. You never know when the last time you'll see someone" I shrugged and played around in my grits
