I spent the whole day pretty much resting. I had a doctors appointment to go too, the baby is in great shape, I'm close to being 4 months now.
Xavier is always at the back of my mind but I just gotta ignore that shit. It hurts to think about how my baby is prolly never gonna have a relationship with it's dad. The more I think about it, the more it stresses me out so I try ignore them thoughts.

As I was sitting on the couch I got a call from Zane's mother, which was pretty random
"Hello?" I said as I picked up

"Medusa I didn't know who else could help with this situation so I called you" Zane's mother said

"What's wrong Melinda? Is everything alright?" I asked concerned

"I'm trying to stay strong for my son but Brysons been in multiple fights at school this week, I told him after the funeral that he don't gotta go to school until he feels better but he insisted, now he's suspended" Melinda told me

"He probably insisted on going to school to distract himself from grieving, but don't worry Melinda, I'll be at your house right now and speak to him" I assured her

"Oh thank you Medusa, you're Heaven sent, see you soon" she thanked me

Heaven sent. Doesn't feel like I am.

40 minutes later

I parked my car in their driveway and knocked on the door

"He's in his room down the left" Melinda said to me as she gave me a quick hug

I knocked on Bryson's door and he said "Ion wanna talk to nobody"

"Bryson, It's Medusa, let's go for a drive" I said in a peaceful tone

"Aight" he simply responded and came out the room like two minutes later

"We'll be back quick" I told Melinda as we walked out the door

"Take your time" she said in a sympathetic tone

Once we hopped in my Benz, I asked him,"where do you wanna go Bryson?"

"Ion know" he responded

"Aight imma just drive then" I told him
"You know avoiding yo emotions don't fix em right? That just makes em worse, and fighting motherfuckers at school ain't gon do none but set you back from your basketball dreams" I added

"Man fuck basketball and fuck school, I wanna work for you" he told me

I was shocked

"No, that's never gonna happen Bryson, don't say dumb shit, Zane lived this life so you didn't have too, what you gon do? Make him proud or ruin yo life?" I said to him as I drove

"You wouldn't understand Medusa" Bryson argued

"I ain't never had no parents, no family, no none, I was abused like a motherfucker in foster homes then I ran away and suffered on the streets until I finally came up, you think I don't know how you feel? I know it too damn fucking well, avoiding your thoughts and emotions AIN'T gonna do shit but hurt you more" I told him and I could tell he was surprised
