"Hello?" A female voice answered. I furrowed my eyebrows looking at the number to make sure I was calling Troy. It was the correct number.

"Who is this?" I asked walking towards my car.

"Tiana, who is this?" Tiana answered with an attitude.

"Don't worry about who it is put Troy on phone now." I unlocked my car doors getting in.

"Hey baby." Troy answered as if nothing is wrong.

"Don't hey baby me. Who is she?"

"Baby chill...She's my cousin."

"Oh, I'm sorry." I felt kind of embarrassed for assuming something.

"It's fine baby stop always assuming the bad." Troy said.

"Okay." I sighed. "Is everything alright? Do I need to come up there?" I asked driving out the parking lot.

"No." He answered quickly. "I mean no. I know it's your lunch and I want you to go eat I'm starting to me the little meat
You had on yo bones."

I smiled before exchanging goodbyes and hanging up the phone call. It was a gloomy day today, the skies were grey and the air smelt of rain. I could tell I was going to sleep good tonight.

I decided to go to Wendy's and get a four for four meal. I decided to get Troy and his cousin something because it will be rude just eating in there face.

August

"Damn T I haven't smoked dis shit in a long time." I said inhaling the smoke and passing it to T.

"What the fuck am I'm smoking?" T asked looking at the very small blunt I had passed him.

"Shit my bad man." I chuckled turning back towards the hospital. We had been out there for about twenty minutes so I know they prolly lookin' fa me.

We walked in my room and a laid down cause I really started feelin' a little light headed. It's prolly from me smoking and being on them drugs they got me on.

Just as I got comfortable Emerson came in with a bag food. I ain't gone lie a nigga caught the munchies.

"Hey, I figured you guys would be back by now." Emerson sat he bag on my table. "Y'all want burgers? My boyfriend and his cousin don't want it." She emphasized cousin.

I knew a pretty girl thang like Emerson had a boyfriend, but not fa' long....

Shit, my mouth started waterin'. "Yeah we want them." I said takin' the bag and grabbin' a burger out the bag and giving the bag to T.

"Thanks." T told Emerson.

"It's no probably, do you guys mine if I stay in here for the rest of my lunch break?" Emerson asked with her hands behind her back.
