RJ Pov

" We've been here for 3 hours still no news, Raquel fell asleep on my lap, I would too but somebody gotta' watch her so I gotta' keep my eyes open "

" Ever since our dad died we ain't' been the same, everything and everybody had fallen apart except me to be honest, I don't know how much more I can take before I explode, I let my dad's last words sink in run through my head "

" Men don't cry "

" Be a man not a boy "

" If something ever happens to me watch Raquel raise her to be a beautiful young lady and take care of your mom keep her happy "

" I will always be here "

" I held my head down holding back my tears, it's hard not cryin', I lost the only real father figure had in my life "
" Now there's a possibility I'm losing my...Rolonda "

" Family of Rolonda Matthews "

" I shook Raquel waking her up and stood up getting ready for the news we about to receive "

" I got good news and bad news " the male doctor said.

" Bad news first " RJ said.

" The bad news is that you'll mom slipped into a coma, only time will tell when she wakes up, it could take years but the good news is that she could wake up so there's a possibility she could survive that's up to you, do you wanna' keep her on life support or not " the male doctor said.

" I looked down at Raquel, I looked into her eyes my mom caused her way too much pain especially at this age, she's too young for this shit but at the end of the day that's still our mom "

" Yes " RJ said.

" The social workers will be here to take you'll to foster homes, just wait right here " the male doctor said walking away.

" Oh hell naw', they ain't finna' separate me and my sister, I can't let that happen, goodbye Fulton County, we out this bitch "

" Thank god I know how to drive and I drove me and Raquel here behind the ambulance truck "

" There gonna' separate us RJ, what we gonna' do " Raquel said squeezing his hand.

" We leaving, we gotta' hurry before they get here " RJ said rushing out with Raquel holding his hand right by his side.

" But who's gonna' take care of us " Raquel said.

" Me who else " RJ said getting in the driver seat of his mom's car and Raquel got in the passenger seat.

RJ made sure they had their seat belts on before he took off down the road not driving too fast but fast egnough

" But you don't have any money " Raquel said.

" At least not yet but soon, just sit there and enjoy the ride, at least until we get back to the condo.

" Can I tell my friends goodbye " Raquel said.

" No, we don't got time, you gonna' have to leave them behind " RJ said.

" No please don't make me leave without saying goodbye " Raquel said and her lip quivered.

" We don't have a choice, you want them social workers to take you away from me and we'll never see each other again " RJ said.

" No " Raquel said.

" Good now shut up wit' dat' cryin', you cry too much, I don't wanna' see you cry no more, you hear me " RJ said.

" Yes " Raquel mumbled.

They got back to the condo, rushed inside and packed all they're clothes and shoes just cleaning out they're closets and dressers completely

Their trunk and back seat was cluttered with suit cases and large black garbage bags but they still had space to pack hygiene stuff

They finally ran outta' space, they pulled off again towards another county to start a new life
