Ryan
Monday May 13, 2024- 11:36am"Maybe we should release this same shirt in new colors. Like in light purple, pink, grey and tan. Simple colors" I told Ryan and fats. We were trying to add more things to our clothing line with the summer approaching.
"That works. We should also expand on the people we use for the website. We can't be the only people on the site." Fats added and I agreed
"So we need to hire more model and get more brand ambassadors. Brand ambassadors are easy we don't have to pay them much but models cost a lot." A very pregnant Rico said.
She was in her 3rd trimester and was about a month away from popping them babies out. She's having twins.
"Not if we hire local people. Find people on the street and ask them to model for us" fats said
"Yea. And I know we can put flyers around. Design some more stuff and then maybe around June 15 ish we can have the people that signed up model for us" I told her and she nodded
"Sounds like a plan. I'll make the flyers and a google form for it. Then go hang it around" fats said "it's gonna for like ages 16 and up"
"Good. I gotta go. I got an appointment" I told them.
"Ryan you better be in there actually doing something" Rico told me while eating her wings
"I am I promise" I told them and left. I drove to Dr.Michel office
I have been looking forward to our meetings. I've opened up to him about everything that's been happening including trey losing one of his patients and how hard that's been effecting him.
Once I got into his office he welcomed me with a warm hug which made my body tingle
"Wanna start up off from what we talked about last week" he said sitting down and pulling out his pad and pen
"Trey doesn't really talk anymore. He hung a picture of her and his patient on the wall along with a drawing she drew for him. I mean I don't mind it, it's just he won't talk to me"
"He's still grieving Ryan. It's going to take time." I nodded at his words "I think it time to move back some. To when your grandma died"
I took a deep breath

Trey was blasting music as we were riding in the car. I smiled while watching him.
He had got a job at a hospital that would start as soon as he graduated. He was happy.
Trey turned down the music "you wanna get married?"
"I do just not now. I wanna get married and have kids but only like 2 or 3" I told him
"I'm going to marry you" I smiled to myself. "And we gonna have a good house with our kids and a dog."
"We have to wait and see" I told him
He turned the music back up with a smile on his face
We were just driving. No destination. Then my phone ran. Trey turned the music down and we stopped at a red light
It was my cousin Mike. "Ryan I need you to come to Howard Hospital now."
"Why? What happened?" I asked him and Trey turned around to go to the hospital
"It's grandma Ry" I felt my heart stop. I knew my grandma had Alzheimer disease but I thought she would've had more time.
"Ry just hurry up and get down here" Mike hung up the phone and trey sped up.
The car ride there was silent and once we got there we ran in. Bobby was sitting in the lobby crying
When I looked over he came and hugged me. He walked me to the room where I saw my grandma laying there lifeless
"Ryan" I looked at my other brother Brandon and my father
I felt the tears falling down my face. I moved from the door to the side of her and hugged her
"Ryan we have to say goodbye" I heard Mike say and I started to cry harder.
I looked over at trey who also had tears falling down his face
Back to present
"I haven't really recovered from it. She left us a lot of stuff including stuff we never knew she had" I told him
Monday, January 1st 2024
"Ms. Sherry Lewis-Wilson wanted her will to be read to her family the 1st of the month. She wrote this will when she first found out the had early stages of Alzheimer." My grandmas lawyer was reading her will.
My grandma 2 kids are here, Raye and MJ. All of Raye's kids are here. It's me Bobby and Brandon. Plus his other 5 kids. And then MJ's 3 he has.
She asked for Treyvon, Toni, Trey, Ant and Tyrone to be here. Along with our friends.
"I will began the reading. "I just found out I have Alzheimers so I decided to right this before I go. I love everyone that I have asked to be here and that includes the ones I had just met, Richard, Rico, Micheal and Bryan. Everyone in the room played important roles in my life along with my grand babies life. But I'm gone now and I will final be reunited with my love." Her lawyer said and I wiped the tears out of my eyes and trey had pulled me in close
"To my son MJ I leave you the safe. And before you act a fool just know everything that in the safe is worth it. To my grandson Mike, I leave you your grandfathers house in Florida. To Ryan and Bobby, I leave y'all the house please don't sell it keep it in the family." The lawyer continued to speak but I zoned out. It felt so unreal that my grandma wasn't there.
"She didn't leave me anything" my father said "It looks like the only thing she left you if the letter sir. She wants the money that was in her savings accounts divided by Bobby, Ryan, Trey, Anthony, Rico, Richard, Micheal, Bryan, Toni and Tyrone. The rest of the money is to be divided by Mike and MJ." My dad face turned red.
She only left him a letter, and she gave everyone a letter.
Back to present
"So you got her house, some of her money and a letter from her" I nodded
"I still haven't opened it nor have I been back in the house" I told him
"Why hold on the the letter. I think it's time you opened both that letter and the one your dad gave you for your graduation." Dr.Michel was sitting beside me now.
He pulled me in for a hug and rubbed my back. "You can bring them in our next session and if you want we can read them together"
I looked up at him and we locked years. "You're very beautiful Ryan"
I moved away from him a little and stood up. "I'll see you Wednesday"
I got in the car and took a deep breath.
