Desean

Today I spending most of the day at the hospital with my mom. She was getting sicker and sicker because her insurance was refusing to pay for her surgeries she needs, thats why i need money.

"Hey mama." I kissed her forehead as I walked in the room. "Hey baby." She smiled weakly. "Desean?" "Yes?" "The Nurse told me I was getting my surgery this morning."

"That's good mama." I acted excited like I didn't already know. I used the money that I got from Carter, Jada, whatever her name is.

"Where did the money come from?" She asked grabbing my hand. "Uh, I got a loan." I lied kissing her hand. "Baby, I don't want you to be worry about me. I'll be okay. You go live your life don't-" I stopped her. "Mama, Its my job to worry about you. Now just get some rest."

I sat back in the chair trying to figure out how I'm going to come up with more money for her her surgeries. I felt my phone ring in my pocket I reached it and took it out and seen it was Kenneth. "Hello?" I whispered. "Wassup...Why you whispering?" "Im out the hospital. What's up?" I asked trying to rush him off the phone. "Carter want you to come by her house."
I sighed and shook my head. "Man I cant. I told you that was a one time thing."

"I know man, but ion think she was asking. Just go she what she wants." I sighed before hanging up the phone. I kissed mama good-bye before leaving the hospital and heading over to Carter's.

Jada

I was sitting out back by the pool with King watching him swim. He's been begging me to go swimming since the weather has been warming up. "King get down." I said for the second time. He keeps getting on this damn diving board hovering over the ten feet. "If I say it again we are going into the house." He ran back towards the three feet followed by my our dog. "Im about to head out, You need anything?" Ty said opening the door. I shook my head. "Oh and Ole boy here." I looked over my shoulder and seen Desean walking out the door.

"You wanted to talk to me?" I motioned for him to sit in the pool chair next to me. "Have you figured it out yet?" I smirked. "Ah Yeah, Carter." He chuckled. "Crazy right?" He nodded before looking around then at me. "I would have never suspected you. But I guess that's a good thing."

He was right. It was a good thing because no one ever thought I was the mastermind behind this. They always think its Marcus or Tyreek calling the shots but it was me.

"Your just soo...."
"Jada?"

He smiled. "I guess you can say that. I keep trying to figure out how someone as beautiful as you could be wrapped up in this life."

I laughed. "Lil smooth talker huh?" His eyes widened. "No No I meant-" I cut him off. "No Its okay. I like that."

I sat there and listened to him continuously flirt with me. I must admit I was kind of enjoying it until our conversation was being drowned out by the constant sound of ZB barking.

"ZB! Shut up." I yelled getting up. "Micheal get your-" I stopped mid-sentence when I noticed he was barking at the water near the ten feet and King was no longer making noise. "King!" I yelled running closer towards them as my eyes became glassy. I looked at the water a seen King laying at the bottom of the pool. Before I knew it Desean pushed me back from the edge and jumped in. I watched as he swam to the bottom grabbing my baby. He came back to surface and I took King from his arms as he coughed and gasped for air.
