Closure

"Can I explain please?" Travis begins to beg me, with both of his palm facing the sky. I crossed my arm together, "Where did you even get these pill that fast?" I asked looking at my watch, noticing Travis been out for only 3 hours. Travis head dropped again, as he started to mumble word to his chest. "Pick your head up and talk Travis, you man enough to have these devils!" I yelled feeling like I've been betrayed. "Dan The Man sold them to me, he met me when I was released and brought me here." Travis said very fast to try to make me miss a detail. Although I was full aware of what he just told me and I was disappointed. "And I asked that mother..... Okay explain yourself Travis. Mama got your kids coming over my house when they get out of school and your trying to get high." I said to see if I could get a guilt trip from him. "Dwayne I'm not high, I didn't even take none of them." Travis explained. When Travis said that I opened the medicine bottle and the cotton was still freshly patted on top of the pills.

"Okay Travis I'm listening." I gave Travis a chance to explain. "You won't believe me if I told you Dwayne." Travis cried out. "Try me" I responded. "Okay, the whole time when I was in rehab all I can think of is Sharod and Jayla. And I promise myself I when I beat this I won't relapse." Travis responded. "Okay explain what this a ritual or something?" I asked because I was so freaking curious. "Ritual? Sort of, when I got the pill from Dan I felt the same way as before. I wanted to forget all about what happen and be in my fantasy world like before. I know I'm not living for myself no more but also my children." Travis took a breather and whipped away some of the tear. "I broke down when they brought me in the room and told me that Mary Lou Infection hit stage two –organ failure-. I felt like I could've pushed her to do her frequent check up like usually but I didn't." Travis started crying. I walked over to give him a hug but Travis refuse with a hand in my chest. "I'm not finished!" Travis announced I backed up to the spotted that I originally at.

"I came here to get closure from the guilt, before I tried to take them for Mary Lou. Grown to realize that, that hurts people around me. So I came and apologize to Mary Lou and to give her the pills as a tribute." Travis head dropped in the same position in his chest. I was speechless, I just stood there and look at the tombstone and the pills. (I'm the biggest douche bag ever) Travis walked to me and grabbed the pills, and took a knee in front of the tombstone. "I Love You Mary Lou, I wish I could brought them to you earlier. Here's some antibbbb....bbbb" Travis broke down. Travis tear rolled down his face. The passion in his face was unforgettable, the cry was unmuted. Without a doubt, if you heard him cry. You would know that it was over love. I found myself catching my tears from following on my shirt. (This is too deep for me)

"Baby you get your brother?"

"Yeah"

"Well hurry here, you won't believe this"

"Okay"

"Dwayne!" Travis called for me

"Yeah Travis" I answered

"I'm ready to see my kids." Travis vented

"Okay I'll take you just one pit stop" I announced to Travis.
