New Orleans: City Raining

|Heartbreaking News Pt. 2|

Later That Night

Lyric Robinson

I walked back and forth around Travis and Jaron. This is not how I expected Anthony's first day back to work to be. I sighed heavy as I dialed Anthony's number. I know mama Sheila asked me not to tell him bout maw-maw but he needs to know.

"Helluh?" Anthony said answering the phone

"Anthony baby where are you at?" I asked bitting my bottom lip

"I got into my car Lyric Baybeh what's wrong?" Anthony said

"Anthony I need to tell you something but first can you meet me at The Stanley Ray park." I said grabbing keys and walking out the house

"Okay I'll be there in 5 Baybeh." Ant said ending the call

I tossed my phone and in the passenger sit of my car and got settled into the drivers side. I cranked the car up and pulled out of mama Sheila's drive way and drove to The Stanley Ray park. I tapped my finger against the dashboard as I pulled up to the park. I shut the car off and grabbed my phone as I opened the door with my left hand. I shut the car door and stuffed my hands in the pockets of my jogger as I walked towards a park bench.

I tapped my foot against the cool summer ground as I watched Anthony walk towards me and sat down beside me.

"Baybeh gurl what's going on?" Anthony asked grabbing my hands

"Anthony baby I need to tell you something really important and I just need you to stay calm while I tell you this okay." I said bitting bottom lip again

I watched as Ant nodded his head at me.

"Baby, mama Sheila told me that maw-maw Peyton is in a coma and it's tough and go their afraid she won't make it through the night." I said never taking my eyes off of Anthony's

Anthony Clayton

I looked a Lyric praying the words that just left her mouth weren't true. It can be not my second mama not my loving and caring maw-maw Peyton. I shut my eye tight as the hot tears streamed down my face. This can't be life right now. I felt Lyric pull my into a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around her and just let my tears fall.

My tears continued to fall freely as I rested my head on Lyrics shoulder. I can't believe this is really happening. I knew the cancer was bad but I don't think if losing her so soon. I need her around with my maw-maw I feel like I have nobody in my corner other than Lyric.

••••
I laid across Lyric bed with my hands covering my face. Lyric and I have been home for bout 2 hours and I haven't left my room yet or uttered a simple word. My mind is blank and my heart feeling like someone ripped it out of my chest and stepped on it.

I sat up looking at the black certain the covered the window. The darkness of the room is what my heart an body feel like. Empty with no purpose at all. My emotions are all over the place at this moment. I grabbed my phone off the charger and dialed Jaron's number and waited for him to answer.

"Wazzum little Brutha ?" Jaron asked

"Ron please tell me that maw-maw will be okay." I said feeling my bottom lip quiver

"Ant baby Brutha I wish I could tell you maw-maw is gonna be okay but I think this is it for her." Ron said on the other line

You could hear his voice cracking as he spoke. This has to be the second hardest day in life for the Clayton family in history.

•••••

"ANTHONY WAKE UP!" Lyric yelled causing me to jump up from my sleep

I stood up and fixed my night pants as I opened the door. Lyric stood there with tears streaming down her face.

"Lyric what are you crying baby gurl." I asked pulling her into a tight hug

"Anthony baby , maw-maw Peyton's gone she died an hour ago." She said sobbing loudly in my ear

Some how I drowned out the sound of lyric's crying and stood there rocking Lyric back and forth. Tears streamed down my face but I couldn't gather myself to even fight them back. All the sounds around me where mute it was as if time had frozen before me. I guess I have to get used to life with Melvin and Maw-Maw Peyton. This is gonna be really hard for me to do.
