"Ok I think Tyrone has a car wif gps sum where around here"

"Aight ima see you in a bit"

"Dats gunna cost you another 10"

"Fine" I gave it to him an felt dis pain in ma stomach.

"You alright back there kid"

"Yea" I told him fakin a smile so he cud drive. I pulled up my shirt an saw blood seepin thru da bandages da hospital put on it. Shit dats alot ah blood.

"So wats a guy like you doin at the beach at 3 in the mornin" his New York accent was strong as fuck I barely understood him.

"Im about to propose to my gf"

"Oh congrats how long you two been together"

"6 months" I pulled down my shirt an leaned against da door an pulled da windows down. I can practically smell da water from here.

"An you gunna propose just like that"

"Jus like dat"

"Let me be the first to say your makin a horrible decision. Your too young to get married. I bet your not even out of college yet"

"Love makes you do stupid things"

"Aint that the truth save yourself from the soon to be divorce an custody fights. Just livr your life"

"I have been an now I want to share it wif sumone I luv"

"You think shes the one huh"

I pictured her in my head an her reaction to me on one knee.

"Yea I do"

"Well Ive met the one atleast 5 times. Twice in Las Vegas an three others drunk at a bar. An nothing but possible diseases an a 5 thousand dollar decrease in my bank have come from it. You wanna know what love is huh? Love is when your staring at the workers at Subway handle your food folding it up all nice when you know its not gunna last the first 5 minutes you get in the privacy of your car"

I zoned out an took da Tiffany box out my pocket too stare at da ring sum more. She da one I kno she is. But......why he had to bring up college for I forgot all about it. We cant be engaged far away from each other my ass wud get paranoid an she wud get jealous I kno how females be, shit. I touched da bandage again an saw blood on my fingers. Damn dat hospital aint do shit. If anythin a nigga feel worse den betta. My nurse said a girl came by to drop me off. Its gotta be Stephanie. I touched her it was her who led me thru dose woods. I feel too light headed to think rite now. I jus gotta make it to Nicki an ima be alrite.
