I at outside Lyric and Anthony's house in my old BMW. I've been doing this for the last two weeks ever since Anthony's grandma passed away. I sound of the rain pouring down onto my car pulled me out of my thoughts. Some days I just wanna knock on that door and give Lyric a hug and tell her I love her.

Due in time Lyric will learn the truth and why I did the things I did. I know for a fact she is going to hate me but I had to do what I had to do to keep her safe. I sighed and started put the car and pulled off. I can't risk Anthony or Lyric seeing me not until the time is right.

I pulled into my apartment complex and shut the old BMW off. Before stepping out of the at I pulled my black hoodie over my head and put my sun glasses on. I stepped out of the car and made my way into the apartment complex. To avoid running into anyone I decided to take the stairs to my apartment which is on the third floor.

I walked into my apartment and locked the door behind me before removing my hoodie and glasses. I truly hate living like this but this is the life I chose since I was a reckless teenager.

Lyric Robinson

I laid on the sofa curled up in a ball. Lately I have been really sick to the point where I can even eat anything. I sighed pulled the thick blanket against my chest and inhaling a deep breathe of air. The sound of Anthony walking into the living room caused me turn around and look at him.

"Lyric Baybeh girl you gotta eat something." Anthony said picking up the empty box of tissues.

"Anthony I can't keep anything down." I mumbled sipping my tea that is no longer hot 😩

"Baybeh girl you gotta try and eat something at least." Anthony said walking into the kitchen.

I sighed and sat up straight and popped a hall in my mouth. I held the blanket closed to my chest and Anthony reentered the living room holding a glass bowl which I assume had soup in it.

"Lyr eat this soup while I got take a quick shower." Anthony said sitting the hot chicken noodle soup on the coffee table

Anthony Clayton

After taking a shower and changing into some comfortable clothes, I sat on the edge if my bed and looked at the pictures of me and my Maw-Maw when I was a child. Lawd knows how much I loved that lady and everyday without her is a struggle. Losing maw-maw as Melvin are just parts of this thing called life.

I have so many unanswered questions about why god called home my Brutha and my maw-maw. I inhaled a very deep breathe of air as I struggled to hold my composer together. I don't need Lyric known I'm crying again.

I struggled with depression after losing Melvin and I really don't wanna fall back into old habit. Specially since Lyric has a lot going on. On top of being sick she has to deal with Romans birthday coming up this weekend.

I made my way back down the stairs to find Lyric fast asleep on the sofa. I picked the the tissues and empty ginger ale bottles off the floor. Bumping all the trash into the trash can, I made my way back into the living room and pulled the blanket over Lyric.

O'Shea "Big O" James

"Mane' look here I know you wanna tell Lyric the truth but right just isn't the time." I said taking a pull of my blunt

"Big O I feel really weird for doing this to Lyric ..... I know for a fact when she finds out about everything she is going to hate me and never be able to look at me the same." He said pouring himself a glass of henny

"I understand but it's nothing we can do now bruh we just gotta wait till the time is right to tell Lyric everything." I stated taking yet another long pull of the blunt

I watched as he sighed heavy and drowned the shot of henny. I know he hates keeping this shit for Lyric and everyone but it's nothing we can do at this point. The time will come when he will be able to tell everyone the truth and he did what he did. Until that time comes he is just going to have hang low and chill around NOLA making sure nobody SPECIALLY Lyric and Anthony don't see him.
