Rest in Peace PnB Rock. You didn't deserve to go out the way you did.
Shawn's Pov:
"You have got to be cheating." I throw my cards down on my lap when Deon wins once again for the 6th time in a row.
"You just suck." I was going to laugh but it's like the second day and third day of healing seems to be the worst when you're hurt.
"Try to relax, my man." I wince gently holding my side.
"I'm trying." Pain, pain, pain. Hurts, hurt, hurts. That's all I've thought about since I woke up. My pain meds wore off over a little after I fell asleep, and was howling to the moon for the nurses to give me something to get rid of it.
"I'll go get the nurse." Megan who has quietly been sitting in the seat with Monica walks out the room. She's been so quiet that I wonder if she knows something I don't. Did my mom say something to her? Did she spy at the door?
"She's been down since she got in. What's wrong with her?" I whisper to Deon who I know can't keep quiet for shit so I know he'll fall right into my trap. If Monica heard me, she'd stop him.
"I mean, ha nigga in a hospital bed, then-" He leans down by my ear a bit looking all over the room then at Monica who is giving us a confused look. "She got reject from the community school." Deon backs away shaking his head.
"Now, how the hell do you get rejected from them? Shit, don't make sense."
"Deondre, she told said not to bring it up." This is why I didn't ask Monica. Deon really is bad at staying neutral, but does help both teams.
"He's her boyfriend, he should know. And I did keep quiet until he asked." Playing both teams.
"Shawn, she was going to tell you, but after you was released."
"I believe you." My mind is racing again as it has done the last two nights. Thinking, thinking and thinking which I've done all since my parents left. Do I pick to stay in my relationship where hell breaks loose, or break up with her and still around everyone I love?
"De, I have a question."
"Shoot." Deon shuffles the cards.
"You'd do anything for Coiya, right?" He stops then looks at me.
"Where this comin from?"
"Just need an answer for somethin."
"I mean yeah, I would." Deon shrugs as if he don't care but his face says another. "I love that girl to bits that I'm willing to let her go completely so she can start her life." Let her go?
"De, did y'all-"
"No."
"But you thinking about it?"
"I am, she's not."
"But why?"
"She won't need me. Coiya is going to a different state, with new people, reaching for a real career. I'm not planning to do any of that. I'll only be holding her back cause I won't be on her level. I wish she'd see that, I love her so much, I'm willing to let her go. So she can be better." A ball forms in my throat at that confession. Always acts so immature, but he really is something.
"How do you get through it?" I know my voice wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be.
"I don't as you can see she's not here right now." He twists in place like he's showing me my room. "Though she says hi."
"I'm sorry, man."
"Nah, we saw it comin. Just if you want better for someone, and you not trying to be better with them, let them go." Let Megan go? That ball in my throat gets tighter.
