New Orleans: City Raining

|Old Habits Die Hard|

When you feel like you're going insane, all these nigga's acting strange
And you feel like nobody else is feeling your pain" August Alsina x Would You Know ?

I watched Lyric as she slept on the sofa. As much as I wanted to believe she knew I was okay I knew she didn't believe I was. I zipped my hoodie and carefully locked the front door behind me. It's not safe to walk around New Orleans at 2 in the morning but I just really need some alone time.

I walked along the simi-crowed side making my way towards the local cemetery. I need to visit my Brutha and my maw-maw. This is just one if the many things I did after Mel was killed. I stuffed my hands deep into the pockets of my pants as I walked into the cemetery.

I turned the flash light on my phone on as I approached Maw-Maw resting place. I sat down in the dirty and played with my thumbs. I honestly do even feel like talking I just need to be in her presents if that even makes sense. I continued to fiddle with my thumbs in silents as the night air blew around.

I yawned as I sat up pushing the blanket off my body. I grabbed my phone off the coffee table checked the time 10:30 a.m. I locked the phone back and tossed it to the side of me as I got off the sofa and made my way to the bathroom. After using the bathroom I washed my hands an made my way to Anthony's bedroom. I opened the door only to find his bed empty.

I closed the door back and made my way back down stars in the living room. It's not like Anthony to not tell me he was leaving. As if on que Anthony walked into the living room removing his hoodie and kicking off his Jordan's.

"Jerell where were you?" I asked folding my blanket

"No where Baybeh girl, who are you feeling ?" Anthony said sitting down

"Anthony Jerell Clayton don't try to avoid my question where were you at." I said grabbing his hand

"I went to the cemetery, now answer my question." Anthony said placing his hand on my forehead

"I'm feeling a little better but what time did you go to the cemetery and why didn't you tell me." I said sitting beside him

" I didn't tell you because you where sleep and I left here around 2 something." Anthony mumbled

"2 something?!" I shouted causing Anthony to jump a little

"Jerell what the hell is wrong with you! Do you know how stupid and dangerous that was? Anthony something seriously bad could have happened to you. Why one earth would you roam the streets of New Orleans at such a late time." I said cupping his gave in my hands

"I'm sorry Lyric I just need to be around maw-maw." He said bitting his bottom lip

"Anthony I think it's time I called your mother you and her need to talk because we don't need you falling back into old habit.... You remember what happened the last time something like this happened right." I said unlocking my phone and dialing Mama Sheila's number

I sighed as Lyric and my mama basically told me how I need to talk to a therapist. I already know I need to talk to one but I refuse to have them judge me. My life isn't perfect and I have a lot of things I carry around and don't speak of or about.

"Anthony baby Lyric an I just want what best got you." My mama said pulling me into a hug

I wrapped my arms around her and let my tears fall. No matter how much I wanted to be strong at this moment I knew being around my mama just makes things harder.

" mama I know it's just I don't want some damn therapist judging me." I said resting my head on her shoulder

"Baby nobody is gonna judge you.... Everyday but had problems some are just more hard to deal with than other" my mom said rubbing circle on my back

"Lyric sweetie thanks for calling me, I know it's hard for you to see him like this but I'm extremely thankful my son has you.... I know I'm not always that beat mother I can be for my boys but at least Anthony has you. You two have this bond that's I was never able to understand while y'all where child but now I can see what y'all truly mean to each other." My mama said
