The Messanger

Late Night Walks

The following day comes and I couldn't sleep for more than two hours. That moment keeps replaying in my mind, I think I'm going insane. It's like an out of body experience whenever I relive the moment. Ty...my family.... how could I do that to my own blood. It doesn't matter if he was ok with it or not, he could've gone out a different way, we could've gotten him some help...God, why is this my life. What have I done to go through so much turmoil and pain.

As I sit up in the bed, Kiki comes in and sits at the edge of the bed. She looks at me and can tell that what happened is really starting to affect me. She sits closer to grab my hand and says, " I know what happened the other day was beyond rough but it had to be done. He was already dying so you spared him from a slow and painful end. Now if you want, we can speak about this more over some breakfast". As I process what was told to me, I go freshen up in the bathroom and proceed to head down after.

In the middle of breakfast, Kiki looks to me and ask, " So, what do you plan on doing with Ty's money?". As I finish eating, I look back at her and reply, " Honestly, the money has been the last thing on my mind, but I was just going to give you half and I'll just move on with my life. It'll be hard for me to stay here without thinking about him...". Kiki then grabs both of our empty plates and heads towards the sink and reply's, " I understand, I might sell this place and move out myself. You're right, it's hard being here and not thinking about him. Even though he did all that he's done, he was still a good man, he was just surrounded by the wrong influences ".

I go up and hug her as I began to reminisce on every that's been going on in my life so far. I then tell her, " Ima go pack my things and I'll be out by tomorrow morning, if you need me I'll be in the room". As I go upstairs, Kiki goes on her phone and calls one of her friends. The phone rings and Kiki then says, " Hey D, I got a job for you. I got a guy here in my crib and he plans on taking half of Ty's money with him. I want you to handle that and I'll give you a little something out of it". D then reply's, " Considered it finished by tonight". Kiki then hangs up the phone and goes to sit on the living room couch, she goes on her phone and proceeds to book a flight to Texas. She turns on the tv and says to herself, " I'm sorry Stephen but that's how life goes, I've been through too much hell with Ty to only get half. I hope you'll understand...".
