I'm looking out the window in my room as the morning sun comes up. Kahjeel did not come home last night and I have been blowing up his phone without an answer.

Jody turn on the bed then finally open her eyes. She stand from the bed once our eyes connect and walk towards me.

"What's wrong?" She ask sitting beside me.

"Nothing you just scared me that's all."

"A you scare me to how you bawl yesterday upstairs. All your likkle pussy supposed to still a hurt you."

"Why you say that?"

"Unuh fuck hard or you extra. One a the time me a wonder if mi fi call somebody." She says laughing.

"Yeah right."

I try calling his phone again but it goes straight to voicemail.

"Who you a call?"

"Kahjeel, I haven't heard from him all day yesterday and still nothing today."

"I haven't heard from Skull either but now that I know that they are who they are it makes sense." Jody says then walk off to the bathroom.

When she finally walks out she has a sad look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"My dad had a heart attack, he is in the hospital. I have to go."

"Oh my god, I'm going to follow you." I stand from the chair when she stops me.

"No, your worried about Busshead. Stay and wait for him. I'll call you later okay."

"Go. I'm praying for your dad." We hug and she walk out of the room.

I pray nothing happens to him because I know all too well how it feels to loose a parent and the toll it takes on you.

Most times I want to call my father and talk with him but then reality sets in and I remember I'm all alone in this world.

Well apart from Kahjeel and his family.

I know I have been giving him doubts but I am ready to go in fully with him and just let him show me how to be there for him and support him.

There is talking in what sounds like the living room and it's male voices. I fix my clothes properly and walk out to see Skull, Kahjeel and Nique along with some guys.

"Niqueeeeee." I run and hug her and she hug me back. Squeezing tightly.

"I missed you Ria."

"You didn't even say anything to me I had to see it on Instagram this morning."

"Yeah, he posted it I guess. I'm just over it and missed everybody, we'll talk later okay."

I nod and she walk towards the kitchen. I look back at Kahjeel and he seems angry while talking with everyone.

"Kahjeel can I talk to you for a minute please."

He does not respond and the others look over at me but keep quiet.

"Kahjeel I want to talk to you."

The front door open and Zahria walks in with Diamond beside her as usual. They have shopping bags and grocery bags in their hands.

"Zahria and Diamond forward."

I look from them to Kahjeel and then towards Skull who has a sympathetic look on his face.

Both girls walk over towards him and he says something not audible from where I'm standing then they both head upstairs. The other guys nod and walk out the house one by one, the only person left is Skull. He looks at me and shake his head before going upstairs.
