Let's catch up;
Things have been good since me and Marshall's break up, it was hard to move on but it helped with a lot of work. I'm still in contact with Deshaun and Letitia but I avoid to be there when Marshall is there, mostly because he got married with Kim and it's just too damn awkward, especially if I'm in the same room as both of them, but the last thing I heard was that they were actually getting a divorce, not that I care. Deshaun and Letitia's girl Jessie is almost 2 now and she's just so damn adorable.

I wake up in the middle of the night by the sound of my phone calling, I look at the caller ID and it's Leticia which is weird because she never calls me in the middle of the night.

"Hello." I say when I pick up the phone.

"Christina.." Leticia cries.

"Hey, what's going on Leticia?"

"Deshaun has been shot, can you please come over now and watch Jessie?" She asks and I can feel my stomach twist because I begin to worry.

"Wait, Leticia what's.."

"Just get your ass over, aright?!" She raises her voice.

"Okay, I see you in a minute." I say and she hangs up.

My body is shaking as I get down to the car, I sure hope that he's gonna be okay! When I arrive to the house, I barely get out of the car before I see Leticia run out ofthe house and into the car, she doesn't say anything to me, she just drives. I go inside and I go into Jessie and check on her before I lay down on the couch and watch some TV.

At about 5AM I hear someone comes through the door so I get up from the couch fast and walk out to the front door to see Leticia fall to the ground crying. I wanna help her but then I see Marshall trying to help he onto her feet again. She's crying so much and it just can't me good, Leticia now looks at me and I can see she's trying to speak but no words come out.

"Leticia.."

"He's dead." She now speaks and she's craving for a hug so I throw my arms around her and holds her tight. I can't believe that he's dead and I begin to cry as well, we lay down on her bed and she just cries for hours before she finally falls asleep. I get out of the bed when I'm sure that Leticia is sleeping, I walk into the living room where I find Marshall sitting on the couch watching cartoons with Jessie. Me and Marshall eyes are locked on each other from the moment he sees me standing there so I wave him out to the kitchen, as I know that's the one place we can talk and still watch Jessie. 

"She's a sleep." I say in a low voice as soon as we reach the kitchen. "What happened?"

"I'm not sure yet, I just know that Deshaun got into a fight with someone we went to high school with and then i'm not sure who shot Deshaun." Marshall says avoiding my look.

"Omg." I say and I begin to cry again as I run my fingers through my hair.

"I could have done something, he asked me if I wanted to go with him, if I had been there, he wouldn't.."

"Marshall, don't go there." I cut him off. "Don't blame yourself."

"Christina, this man has helped me so much and I couldn't even save his life." He says as he begins to cry.

"This isn't your fault. Even if you had been there then you couldn't had done anything." I say and I now hug him as I can see that he needs it. It's weird having him this close to me again but right now I don't feel the anger I have towards him, right now I just wanna make him feel better.
