Song of Chapter: Exchange: Bryson Tiller

"Sometimes all you can do is lie in bed
And hope to fall asleep
Before you
Fall apart."

Chapter One
Tris

After a week or so, I was able to go home which I was excited about. But something I was really scared of what was going to be Jake's reaction once he knew I had woken up from my coma or, had he already gotten the news? I couldn't get him out of my head. He was all I thought about these past few days.

So many unanswered questions.

Once I arrived my mother was on the couch. Just staring straight ahead at the black tv. My father came from their room looking at me. His dark grey eyes stared into my dark brown eyes. He walked towards me and he wrapped his arms around me. I stiffened by his touch. I wasn't use to him hugging me. Once he let go my body relaxed.

Me and my mother locked eyes. My throat went dry, it felt like I was unable to speak. So I just stared into her eyes as she stared into mine. I went over to the couch and gave my mom the biggest hug. She cried into my shoulder.

"I missed you so much baby" she whispered

"I missed you too mommy" I whispered back.

Our moment.

I stared down at my phone wondering if I should call Jake. My lock screen was a picture of me and him kissing. I decided not to call him.

I went downstairs so I could take a walk to Starbucks. I locked the front door and put my headphones in.

This what happen when I think about you
I get in my feelings, yeah
I start reminiscing, yeah
Next time around, fuck, I want it to be different, yeah
Waiting on a sign, guess it's time for a different prayer
Lord, please save her for me, do this one favor for me
I had to change my player ways, got way to complicated for me
I hope she's waiting for me
Everywhere she go they playin' my song
That's why I say the things that I say
That way I know you can't ignore me
But so, so
So give me all of you in exchange for me
Just give me all of you in exchange for me, for me
Break it down, yeah
Yes sir, check
We used to lay up and then stay up
Have sex and then blow dank
I shouldn't have played no games with you, just levelled up my rank

I pulled my headphones out and walked into Starbucks. I order a vanilla bean frappe and two cake pops. I sat and I was collected into my thoughts. I was afraid of what was next.
