"Well this whole thing is a mess, it's not like I asked for any of this to happen!!" I was pissed at the whole situation, not only what was happening as far as things went with C-Co but i mean as far as everything with Donald Madlock and Darren Wilkins, i mean it's been almost a month since the whole thing with Donald and Darren went down and no one can find Donald still. "Look this whole thing has been fucked up from the jump!" I said. "Chris, this is life, it's always some wild crazy shit going on, i don't know what you want me to do, i mean this whole thing is fucked all the way up!" He said. "I mean what can i do to make it better?"

"Nothing, you can do nothing to make it better, this right here we have to let it play out." Chris said, he was pissed. "Look i just need to be left alone for awhile, i'm going to go out."

"But we got school in awhile and...."

"Fuck school!" He said, then he got up and walked out of the living room & the house, slamming the door.

"Fuck!!" I yelled as I slammed my hand on the table.

Man this whole situation has been a mess, this past year of being with Chris in general has been full of ups and downs but i know i love him. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. All I know is I wasn't going to go after him, the best thing to do when he gets like this is to just let him have his space.

"I got to get out of here for awhile." I said to myself. I got my keys and left, i didn't even feel like getting into the Purple Firebird i decided to just walk a bit. I couldn't even head to school with the way I was feeling. As I walked past the school a lot of emotions and a lot of things flowed through my mind, I heard someone call my name, I turned around and saw who it was, it was Luther.

"Hey young'n where you off to?"

"Luther i'm not in the mood, don't start with me."

"Damn what got your boxer briefs in a bunch?"

"Nigga you already know." I began.

"You don't have to say anymore, come on get in the car." He said. "I ain't gonna bite." He said smiling.

I rolled my eyes. "Ugh, whatever dude." I got in the car with him.

"So what's Chris upset about this time?"

"You already know, this whole situation with Donald man. Me and dude have history too, we was in camp kilpatrick together and all, played football, he watched my back on the field and all...."

"I know all that but I can't do anything."

"I know you can't and I'm not asking you to do anything Luther but I'm asking you just to be cautious and vigilant, just to keep an eye on us. Chris is worried that if Madlock escaped he could try to hide out at our place."

"Right, well I'll keep an eye out." He said. "Well lemme drop you off at the school, since we're right here and i'll see if i can find Chris and when i do i'll drop him off here too." He said.

"Alright, well i'll see you later."

"Well i'm sure he's thinking about you too man, just give him time." The person said.

"I know man i know. It's just i haven't heard from him in a few days and i'm worried about him."
