Love Is Like A Playlist

She's Back

*Langston's POV*

I burst into the house. I covered my mouth. The man held his stomach, my mom holding her arm.

"Langston, sweet heart..Why are you not in School?", my mom asked.

"The teacher let me out.", I said still frozen.

"Mom who is this? Are you okay!?", I asked.

"Langston.", the man's voice rung.

I looked at him.

"I am...your father.", he said.

"F-father!? You don't deserve that title. More like 'farther' away from my life as you can possibly be!", I shouted.

"Sweetheart!", my mom began.

"No mom! Why did you even come here? He clearly doesn't want us, in his life!", I helped my mom off of the floor.

"Wait!", he said.

I rolled my eyes and took my mom outside.

"Langston!", she began again.

"No ma! What do your think your doing coming over here?", I shouted at her.

"Langston Alexander Higgins, I am the adult and you will not continue to yell at me!", she said jerking her arm away from me.

"That man is your father! Whether or not he was in our life, we have to help him!" I studied her face.

Tears fell from my eyes. How can she go back to him after what he put our family through? I pushed passed her and began to walk down the drive way.

"Langston!", she yelled from the porch.

I stopped by DayDay's house. The were police cars everywhere. What happend? I ran up to the house.

"I'm sorry sir, but some serious crime investigaiton is going on.", a police blocked me.

"Sir, I know this people. Sir, please! This is my best friend and my girlfriend's house! Please, sir!", I said trying to push pass him.

I saw Ms. Val crying in the background.

"Mr. Greg!", I yelled from where I was blocked.

Mr. Greg who was coming from upstairs looked toward the door. He came forward.

"Officer, let him through!", the officer did as commanded.

"What's going on? Where's DayDay? Did they find Jasmine?", the questions ran off of my tongue.

Mr. Greg placd his arms on my shoulder, the feeling of comfort assured me and I caught my breath.

"DayDay is at the hospital with Jasmine! ", he said to me.

A wide smiled creeped on my face and I dashed out the front door, down the street to the hospital.

"Excuse me 'mam, is Jasmine Williams here?", I asked the receptionist.

"Umm...yes sir! Room B34! That's the second floor.", she said.

I walked to the elevator and got in. I pressed "B". When the doors finally opened, I walked down the hall looking for the number 34.

I arrived to the room and stopped. My legs wouldn't move. I peeked into the crack, where the door was still open.

I saw DayDay puffing Jasmine's pillow and her looking very annoyed. As DayDay tucked her in for the millionth time, she saw me through the door.

I big smile spread across her face. What am I going to say? She continued to smile waiting for my entrance.

DayDay walked over to the door. A nervous smile danced on my face as we dapped.

"What up bro!", DayDay said.

He leaned close to me and whispered.

"Please come in here. She hasn't stopped asking about you since we found her." he said.

"What am I suppose to do?", I ask shrugging.

"I don't know, I just really need to go. Nicole hasn't stopped texting me, she thinks I'm cheating on her.", he says walking into the hallway.

"Then tell her your not! I can't do this by myself!", I say to him as he walked towards the elevator.

"I did. And what's so hard about watching a 17 girl, with one leg? Man up! I be back tomorrow, I promise!", he says as the doors close.

I groaned as I walked into Jasmine's room. I stood at the foot of her bed. I took my snapback off, scratched my head, and replaced my hat.

"Hey Jasmine, I'm happy to see you! Could work.", her cheerful voice says.

I smile at her sarcasm. She lefts her hand out for a hug. I walk towards her.

She wraps her arms around my torso as I use one arm to hug her head basically. I start to hear her cry. I pull back from her. And look at her face. She looks down but I grab her chin.

"What's wrong Jazzy?", I ask her.

"They wouldn't let me kill her.", she says completely in tears, "I'm hurting all over and she isn't even in jail! My leg cracked, and my thigh could be infected. I stink and they won't let me wash, do my hair, or even brush my teeth!", she whined.

I held in a laugh. She looked up from me under her shaggy hair.

"Its not funny!", she said pulling away from me.

"I think its kind of sexy!", I say, taking the seat DayDay sat in.

I could she her blushing but she rolled her eyes at me.
