Egotistical

Maurice sat in front of Dayquellz as he was about to get released. Donnie needed someone to drive him- crazy enough he was once again arguing with nurses so they called his emergency contact. Maurice. When Maurice walked into the room Donnie was yelling and cursing about their lack of care for Nassiah. Needless to say the hospital hoped to get both boys out sooner than later. Donnie was just the lucky one to leave first. "Dayquellz" Maurice spoke as he stood in the doorway. The man was ripping out IVs and telling nurses to get the hell out.

  "What you doing here?" Dayquellz only responded and Maurice just looked at the man some more. Body bandages- bruises and cuts that would probably leave a mark permanently. "You been causing these people hell?" He joked as he walked in slightly and the nurse side eyed Maurice as a conformation. "I'm here to get you out they hair and stuff" Maurice spoke calm not knowing how the man was feeling. Maurice knew about Nassiah not being up yet, he also knew that Donnie was doing significantly better. That mixed with everything else that went on he knew Donnie probably felt guilty.

   "You ain't gotta do nothing- I'm good to drive myself home. I'm grown" he grumbled and Maurice couldn't help but laugh. When he realized that Donnie was weiiis he furrowed his eyebrows up. As someone in the background trying to make sure stuff ran smooth Maurice was exhausted. He helped with Alonso and the kids, he was on to running the shelter by himself not to mention Dj didn't relapse- for the sake of everyone he wished and prayed Nassiah woke up. 

  "Dayquellz" Maurice responded calmly he was now near the boys bed side, did Maurice hold a lot of anger for the man? More than any but he almost died.  "You are still healing- let me take you home" the two held eye contact and Donnie's face turned up enough to let Maurice know he wasn't going to let that happen just yet. "You almost died- you need to rest. You can come see Nassiah another day"

  "Another day? They asses didn't wake him up yet! They put him in the coma tell them to get his ass out! Donnie argued, his voice was quiet with Maurice but every word he said he meant.

  "And you don't think if they could they would?" Maurice questioned "what do they get out of Nassiah dying? Nothing. He had to get revived more times than not- his body needs to rest" Maurice tried to explain to the best of his ability. "We have to let him come back on his own time, not yours- not the kids- not Alonso's but his" Maurice tried

  "That's bullshit"

"We'll take it up with him when he wakes up- but now you need to let me take you home" Maurice tired again and Donnie just blinked.

  "What you even doing here? You know I fucked up bad" Donnie mumbled and Maurice rolled his eyes as if the man never listened to a word he said.

  "They called me- you can't leave by yourself, you are under the influence way to much to drive- you have pills to pick up, need to continue to rest-

"Why that affect you?"

"Because they called me- so if some hospital calls me about you Dayquellz as much as I would like to think I would just hang up clearly I'm not there yet- so please" Maurice pleaded and closed his eyes when he opened the Donnie was still sitting there with a stupid look on his face. "Please, let me take you to get your medicine and take you home. Than promise me I won't have to worry about you dying ever again"

  "I was never gonna fucking die" he started and Maurice just blinked. "But yeah- I'll let you take me home" Donnie finally agreed and Maurice gave him a small smile- the smile warmed his heart. "How's our son?" He questioned and Maurice just thought slightly.

  "He feels like he did you wrong" Maurice answered truthfully. "You know how he looks up to you- he tried so hard to get to you- if you heard the way he spoke over the phone" Maurice shook his head looking down at his feet. "I thought he was going-
