New Orleans: City Raining

| One Step At A Time|

Lyric Robinson

" Anthony the therapist should be here around 3 so please help me clean the house and at least take to them babe." I said sweeping the floor

" I'm talk to them ma' I promise but can you stay in the living room with me while she's her?" He asked fixing the sofa

"Sure I stay but you can't hide anything from them just cause I'm going to be in here." I said picking up the trash

Once Anthony and I finished cleaning the house. We sat in the dinning room rolling the double chocolate chip cookie dough into tiny balls and placing them onto the baking sheets. Tomorrow is Romans birthday and just really trying to keep busy with Anthony so that I won't be sad like I usually am.

"Big O why are you wearing a suit." I asked taking a pull of my swisher

"I have to a therapy session with Anthony Clayton in less than a hour." He said fixing his tie

"Anthony Clayton as in Lyric's Best friend Anthony?" I said siting up and putting the swisher out

"Yeah Lyric is the one that called me and said he's falling into old habit and that they wanted to have a run trail home session..... She doesn't know bout my business with you not will she find out until the time is right mane' calm down I mad a promise to protect you from all harm and that's what I meant." He said grabbing his tape recorder and note pads and stuffed them in his briefcase

I sighed heavy my life has been in Big O hands for the last 4 years. I trust his and all it just this hiding out shit just isn't for me. These last four years have really be a struggle for me. Specially watching Lyric hurt because of this secret. My high is slightly blown now that I now O'Shea is about to head over to Lyric's house.

Anthony Clayton

I laughed as Lyric as she danced around the kitchen. Since I have a therapy session in less than 30 minutes Lyric and I decided to get dinner started early.

"Lyr stop shaking ya ass and check the pasta noodles."'I said laughing

I continued to cut up that chicken and laughed at Lyric. Zero by Chris Brown blasted through the kitchen as me continued to mix that pasta and chicken together. Since Lyric loves garlic we are currently making garlic Parmesan chicken pasta.

I sound of someone ringing the door cause me to stop mixing the pasta. Lyric paused the music and whipped her hands.

"I'll get the door Ant you just finish the pasta." She said toasting the dirty napkin in a trash can

Lyric Robinson

I lowly sang Zero to myself as I approached the front door.

"Who is it?" I asked

"It's O'Shea James I believe we spoke on the phone yesterday. " the therapist said

I undid all of the locks and opened the front door. I slowly stepped aside letting mr. James step inside. He extended his hand.

" O'Shea James." He stated shaking my tiny hand

"Lyric Robinson..... Anthony's Bestfriend." I said leading him into the living room

"Ant the therapist is here" I said giving mr. James a tiny smile

"I'm coming Baybeh girl give me a minute." Ant said from in the kitchen

"Mr. James you can't have a seat until Anthony comes out of the kitchen." I said sitting on the love seat with my legs crossed Indian style.

Anthony Clayton

I walked into the living room to see this O'Shea Jackson look like sitting on the long sofa. Before approaching this man I walked over to Lyric and pushed her light gray hair behind her ear.

"Come sit over there with me ma'." I whispered in her ear as I grabbed her hand

Lyric and I sat on the long sofa beside the therapist. I slowly inhaled a deep of air as I gathered my thoughts together. I lowkey wish I didn't agree to this damn therapy session now that I am here.

"Hello Anthony." He said extending his hand

"No disrespect mr. - " I said

"James... O'Shea James." He stated

"No disrespect Mr.James but I don't shake people hands." I said rubbing my hands down my pants

"Okay Mr.Clayton what's going on?" He asked

"I lost my maw- maw a few weeks back and since then I just haven't been the same. Maw-maw Peyton was like as a second mother to me. Her and Lyric where all I had when I lost my oldest Brutha Melvin. " I said playing with my thumbs

"Okay Anthony can you tell me how losing both your grand mother and brother has effected you?" He asked write something down in his note book

"losing both of them has made me feel
slightly empty inside and I know I should feel this way but I just do there where both such important people in my life. I'm only 23 I should be stressing the way I am but sadly it's all I can do. I don't tell Lyric this things because I feel like she look at me as if I'm this week man who cries of the littlest things." I said looking at Lyric out the corner of my eyes as I played with my thumbs yet again

"Anthony I could never look at you as if you are a weak person. You've seen my at my lowest point when I lost Roman. If it wasn't for your words and gentle and kind heart I sure I wouldn't be who I am today. Anthony it's okay to cry as much I know you wanna break down and cry some times you hold the brave face when deep down I know your hurting. Jerell baby it's okay to cry shit it okay to feel weak it means you know you can't deal with this hurt and pain on you own and I understand that." Lyric said cupping my face

This is something she always did when she felt that I needed to hear her loud and clear. I understand where she's coming from it just hard for me to let her see me in such a emotional way. Yeah I've cried in her arms or around her but it just doesn't compare to all the built of hurt, anger and pain I have in me.
