ღ Make Me Over ღ

ღ Chapter 19 ღ

I hope yall asses ain't forget about me lol

Alanna

I've been in Chicago with my uncle for two weeks now, and things aren't going exactly well, but they could be worse. The doctors are planning on starting radiation after his surgery if they don't remove all the cancer. Seeing my uncle so weak and helpless is killing me. My Uncle is like a father to me, and it hurts like hell to see him hurting.

"You awake Alanna?" My cousin Tamar asked opening my old room door.

"Yeah, come in." I sat in my old bed and smiled. I swear I missed my cousins something crazy.

"How you feeling?" Tamar sat on my bed next to me and grabbed my hand. 

The other day before my uncle got released from the hospital we were in his room and I got really light headed and almost fainted. The shit was hella scary but I was feeling a little better.

"My stomach is hurting something serious, but I'll be fine."

"Your ass better not be pregnant." Tamar joked, but I could tell he was a little serious.

"Boy please, I am not pregnant." I let go of his hand and laughed.

"Right, but I'm about to head out to the Barber shop.."

"Okay I'll see you when you get back." I said.

"Well..my receptionist called out sick and I don't really have anyone else to take her place."

I laughed and crawled out of my bed. "So your asking me to come in to work for you?"

"Basically. But only if you're feeling better. I don't want you to be passing out."

"I'm straight."

I was actually kind of happy to be able to do something. I've been cooped in this house, because Tamar and Terrance both have their own place. My parents left a couple days after I got here, so I've had the house to myself up until yesterday.

I agreed to help my cousin out, and took a quick shower and changed into a simple plaid button down and ripped jeans. After I fixed up my hair and makeup, I checked my phone and saw a missed call from Dominick.

We've been talking a whole lot over these 2 weeks, and he's been going through some real shit with Cassie's crazy ass. I still cannot believe that she tried to kill herself, but I know she really needs help. I actually feel bad for her, and I hope she gets the help she needs, but knowing her she probably did something like that to get attention, but then again you never know what someone's going through. Dominick was contemplating getting a restraining order against her if she gets out of rehab, but I don't think he should. Cassie's crazy but I know she'd go ballistic if that were to happen.

At the end of the day it's about the safety of Ashlyn so I'd understand his decision regardless.

"Hey." He answered.

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm straight. Trying do Ashlyn's hair  for daycare."

"You don't have someone to help you out with that?" I laughed. Dominick was really trying hard at this father thing and he was doing a damn good job. I wish I could help him out and everything, and I was planning on coming back in the next few days because of work and everything. 

"Her nanny deals with her after day care, but other than that I'm about to head over to practice when I drop her off."

"How's practice going?"

"It's straight, preseason starts this week so I'm ready. What about you? Did they figure out why you almost fainted?"

"Nope, but  I'm sure it's nothing. But I'll call you a little later, I'm going to go help Tamar out at the shop."
