I get to my parents house and open the door. "YO HANK!" I shout. I hear crying. I go into his room and see him on the ground crying. "Hey hey hey what happened?" "I tried to stop her. I tried to help her." He rants. "What. Happened?" "May tried to kill herself..." my mouth drops.
"What?" "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I pull him into my chest. "It's okay. It's all gonna be okay."
Me, my brother, and my dad walk into the hospital. We get there and see Michael as well. "What happened?" He asks. "She took a bunch of pills." Hank inhaled deeply. I pull him closer to me. "On purpose? Well what did she take?" "Hydrocodone." She answers. "Okay can...we'll can we see her?" "No she's still in the ICU. Simon said a half an hour or so. I need to sit down." They take a seat. Hank bounces his leg up an down.
"Hank what's wrong?" Dad asks. I sit next to him rubbing his back. "I'm sorry Thena and Mike. I tried to stop her I really tried I should've tried harder." He cries. "You two are children. You shouldn't be blaming yourself it is no one's fault but our own we should've payed more attention." "It's nobody's fault. Let's all just focus on May right now. Destiny did you call in?" I shake my head I move towards the vending machines.
I call Bobby. "Tiny we were just talking about you everything okay?" I inhale. "No. Mays in the hospital I'm here with Hank my dad Athena and Mike. My moms working on her." I say calmly. "Is everyone alright? What happened?" "It's not my place to tell. But I just called to let you know I won't be in today." I state.
I walk back into the waiting room and see another guy. "Who's-" I look and see Athena's gone. "Ohhhh- hey Hank have you eaten anything?" I take his hand and walk back outside.
"Wait we're not going to the cafeteria?" He sniffs. "Boy hell no. I am not eating hospital food and you need a chance to collect yourself. Mays strong she'll make it through this. Trust your sister you'll thank me." We get in the car.
I go into work the next day. I see Hen "how's May?" "Awake and doing fine trust me." I state.
"You sure you should be coming in today?" "I told you she fine. Besides I need a check so I move out of Jenna's place." I state.
Me Hen and Buck play video games. "TURN! NIGGA TURN!" "Right here right here right here. TURN LEFT!" we shout at him.
"IM TRYING!" "So it's a hit and run?" I ask him. "You do realize that you lose points for murdering people on the way to the fire." "it should be fine." I shake my head.
"It's a flesh wound. Obamacare." "Bitch?" I try to snatch the controller from him. "WHAT? TINY! PLEASE- SOMEONE CALL HR! NO-DESTINY!" I take it. "Stupid- Chimney! Hey, you're up." he ignores me.
"Hey what's... what's wrong? You okay?" she asks as we walk up to him.
"Look Chim if there's something you want to talk about..." "ya I mean I'm honest I can give some hardcore advice," I state.
He shuts the fridge. "I'm a good-looking guy right?" he asks us. "I mean like you can do a lot worse than me? Yeah?" "Chimney I've done a whole lot worse than you." Hen states. "I am a whole lot worse than you," I state. "Buck." Bobby hands him some plates.
"You think id be a good father?" "ohh Bobby you need me to do the silverware I can do silverware," I say grabbing the cup from the counter.
"What is this about" "I asked Tatiana to marry me." my mouth drops along with the last fork. I walk over to the counter. "What?" "are you serious?" "Please do not fuck with me today Chim," I say excitedly for him.
"Well, what happened?" "first. She said she cheated on a fiance that I didn't even know about...and that now we need to break then she said she didn't know I..." my mouth drops.
"Did you offer her the option of an open marriage? It's super modern." I reach my hand up and hit the back of Buck's neck.
"Tiny, Buck." I nod and stand on my toes and grab his ear. Jesus, what did his parents feed him? The guys are too tall. I looked at his resume 6'4. More like 6-foot roar. Get it Dinosaur...roar...
"What did I say about speaking before thinking?" "to do that but in reverse-" "reverse dumbass." I let go of his ear. He rubs his ear.
"That may not have been the response that you hoped for. But it's not no." "it might as well be," Chim states.
"Probably for the best." Cap states.
"What was that?" Hen asks him. "Nothing I'm sorry. I...I didn't mean anything by that. You doing okay?" "of course, you meant something by it. 'Probably for the best'? There's a lot of meaning behind that." he states.
"What you don't...you don't like her?"
Don't answer that. Do not answer that Bobby.
"I never said I don't like her. I don't like her for you." we stop what were going and look at the pair.
"And what does that even mean?" he asks. Bobby goes silent. "No. Come on. Come on with it wise man. Uh just say what you want to say 'cause I'm getting real tired of you standing there just silently judging me with that- yeah right there with that smirk on your face. You know you're always so quick-"
"Chim."
"-to comment on everybody's life. But you completely shut down whenever we ask you about yours. Why is that? Huh? I mean how long have we either together Bobby? I know nothing about you. I've never even met your wife and your kids. You know why? Cause all you do is you sit there brooding staring in that little book of yours."
"You know what? You're upset let's drop it." He says trying to walk away from him. "Oh my God Bobby. COME ON JUST SAY IT! WHAT IS IT? SAY IT!" "ALL RIGHT YOU'RE LIVING A LIE MAN!"
Oooh shit, this is better than Keeping up with the Kardashians. "You let her manipulate you. You pretend to be somebody you're not when you're around her. Making up stories to satisfy some hero fetish of hers? What is that?" "you know what maybe I wouldn't have to make up stories if every once in a while you let me take point on something. I have to operate the winch right. And The Maneuver? I can do The Maneuver." I cross my arms gazing at them intently.
"I know you can. That's not the point here. Chimney this relationship that you're in is fueled by lies." he admits. He sighs "come on. Y-you asked me to make you two dinner so you could pass it off as your own." Chim starts to turn to us but we turn around and start walking away slowly.
"SHES NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU. She's in love with this fantasy version of you." "you know what I feel bad for your wife. I really do. Must be tough living with someone who thinks he's right all the time." he says walking away.
"Chim." "no, I'm getting some air," he states.
So much for Family Dinner.
