Four days later.

"Nyasia you have to get up or at least try—please." Kimone said softly rubbing my back.

No I didn't.

I could stay in bed as long as I wanted. I had been given three weeks off work which I was so grateful for. I was unsure of how to go on with normal activities, it was so hard.

"Soon get up." I answered, snuggling more into my pillows.

"It's been a days an you nah eat or ntn."

I tuned out her voice pulling the blanket over my head. I just wanted to be left alone.
Please jus leave me alone.

Kimone was my cousin and close friend, my uncle's first child. There were three of them, a set of fraternal twins and her. We all grew close since Mama my uncle was her only son and second child. He lived on the property with her, his house was not too far from hers.

"Asia?" I pulled the sheet away from my face at the sound of Mama's voice.

"Thank God you come back cause she nah listen to me." Kimone said softly.

"Yes Mama?"

What was she doing back so quick?
She no suppose to still deh town.

After what happened she spent two days with me and the both of us had traveled back to Clarendon. She seemed to be coping better than I was, getting things done and finalising everything. I still couldn't come to terms with it and it was taking a toll on me. I couldn't even show up for my sister in death.
Just big and wutliss so.

My eyes filed with tears that I blinked away quickly. I was tired of crying but it was the only thing it seemed I could do right.

"Asia you have to try to get up and eat something."

I sat up, propping my body upward against the headboard. I stared at both of them. Glancing away from them to look at the window I could see it was getting dark.

"Where's Asia?" My room door pushed open and my other cousin Kyra poked her head in looking at us.
If Kyra here dat mean Kyle affi out deh to, her twin.

"Oh hey. A?" I looked away from her closing my eyes. We were only a year apart we'd practically grown as siblings since we lived in the same yard . Their house was just across from Mama's. I didn't want to cry in front of everyone.

I couldn't even Sulk in peace.

I hadn't expected them to be in the island yet, they both lived in the states. It had just been four days.

"Tell you cousin fi eat supm Kyra."

I moved to the edge of the bed getting off. I'd eat so they'd leave me alone, I hated being fussed over. Making my way to the kitchen I found Kyle with a plate in hand.

"Know a muss ya so you deh." I muttered and he shoved me playfully.

"Weh else mi fi deh?" He asked and I smiled rolling my eyes.

Man leff Jamaica from how long and not even likkle twang.

I shared some food, sitting around the island beside Kyle to eat. Kimone had cooked curry chicken with dumplings and yams and green bananas.
