24: Not So Homesick

*Alia*

So I sat there in my daddy’s hospital room holding his hand. It was really kind of nice actually seeing him again but I didn’t want to see him like this. I put my head down and sighed and looked at Adia as she played on her little laptop.

“You know you didn’t have to come all the way down here baby girl.” My dad said and I shook my head is disagreement. If anything if something happened to my dad, I could be as far as the north pole, I will come back just for him.

“Dad its fine, you know I have to be here for you, there is no one else, I promised mommy I would take care of you.” I said and he smiled and kissed my hand, I really missed my dad out of everything.

“So what is this situation between you and Aziza?” I asked sitting back in my chair and enjoying my coffee.

“Well you’re sister has been on something, I guess she started hanging out with different people and there was one certain boy in my mind that was just all bad to me, I guess he put an impact on her life to the point where she is giving me attitude.” He explained and I sighed.

Aziza wasn’t the type of girl to give attitude and it really shocked me that she did it to the point where it put him in the hospital. It really angered me that she actually did this, yeah me and her got into a few arguments that didn’t mean that I aint care about her. I don’t know who this guy was but he had to get out of my sisters head asap before she do even more damage to anyone else. I didn’t have time to deal with this shit; I had to get back to school up north.

“You know where she at?” I asked and he shrugged his shoulder.

“Hopefully at dance practice like she should be, I didn’t spend almost two hundred dollars to shack up with some boy that could get the braked beaten off of him.” He joked and I smiled. At least daddy had a little sense of humor during this time.

I got up and grabbed my car keys and kissed daddy on his cheek.

“I’m going to look for Aziza and talk to her, you need anything?” I asked and he shook his head no and I looked over at Adia, “you need anything Adia?” she just shook her head no and went back to her little play toy.

I walked out of the hospital room and started to walk to the elevator could see Dre getting out of the elevator.

“Drayden?” I said and he gave me a big hug.

I looked at his face and it looked like he haven’t been sleeping or shaving because he looked a damn wreck and I knew my brother, he always kept himself up to date. This was just unacceptable for real.

“Wassup sis? How’s dad?” he asked and I looked at him puzzled.

“He’s fine, why the hell you look like that?” I asked and he sighed and looked around then grabbed my hand and we sat in the little café nearby. I sat at one of the little tables and he went and got himself a coffee, from the looks of it, he needed it.

He sat in front of me then took a sip of the coffee then closed his eyes.

“It seems like once I left things started to go south, what’s going on?” I asked and he shook his head.

“Shay took Cymphonique from me.” he said and I felt like I was choking on my own air.

“She did what? How? If anything you should have Cymphonique. Was you planning on telling daddy this?” I was going to fast I didn’t even know how to damn think.

“I mean why I can’t just keep it a secret from him.” I gave a little chuckle.

“Yes you can, the only reason he is in here is because of Aziza the girl is going crazy. Anyways how the hell she took her?” I asked.
