I've Been Having Anxiety Episodes All Day And I'm Just Really Nervous To Hear Back From Dex's Friend. I Was Scared That He Was Going To Call Me And Tell Me That My Sister Was Dead, But I Shook That Scenario Out Of My Head. I Didn't Want To Think About That At All.

"Any Word Yet?" I Asked Dex For The Hundredth Time. He Was Outside In The Garage Working On His Car.

"Not Yet. Sit Yo Ass Down And Relax Ma Damn! When He Calls I Will Come Get You." He Said. I Nodded As I Walked Up To Him.

"What Are You Doing?" I Asked.

"Working On My Transmission." He Said.

"Oh...I Didn't Know You Were Mechanical." I Said.

"Nobody Knows I'm Mechanical. I've Always Been Good With My Hands Though...Which You Witnessed This Morning." He Said, Smirking At Me. I Giggled As I Started Blushing. Those Memories Flooded My Head And I Could Feel Myself Getting Turned On.

"No Comment." I Said. He Chuckled As He Licked His Lips And Continued Working On His Transmission.

"Can I Ask You Something?" I Asked, Leaning Against The Car.

"What's Up?" He Said.

"Where Are Your Parents?" I Asked. He Glanced At Me And Back Down At The Transmission.

"They Over There." He Said, Pointing Towards The Street. I Sucked In My Teeth.

"I'm Serious Dex." I Said. He Chuckled.

"I Am Too! These Streets Raised Me." He Said. I Sighed And Crossed My Arms. He Glared At Me And Then Shrugged His Shoulders.

"I Ain't Never Met My Folks. I Grew Up In Foster Care, But When I Turned Sixteen, I Was Out Here On My Own." He Said. I Stared At Him And His Face Showed No Type Of Emotion.

"Oh...I'm Sorry To Hear That." I Said.

"Don't Be Sorry Ma. I'm Good Out Here And I Been Good." He Said.

"Yeah I See That." I Said.

"Why You Asking Me All These Questions Anyways?" He Asked. I Shrugged.

"I Just Wanted To Know More About You." I Said. He Nodded His Head As He Continued Working On His Transmission. He Was About To Say Something Until His Phone Started Ringing. My Heart Began Pounding As He Answered His Phone.

"Yo What's Up?" He Said. He Put The Phone On Speaker And Handed It To Me.

"He Wants To Talk To You." Dex Said. I Cleared My Throat Before Talking.

"Hello." I Said.

"Hey How You Doing Ma? I Got Some Good News And I Got Some Bad News." He Said.

"Okay...Lay It On Me." I Said.

"Aight...The Good News Is That Your Sister Is Alive." He Said.

"Oh Thank God." I Said, Grabbing My Chest.

"Yeah, But The Bad News Is She Has Been Shot And Now She's Held Hostage At The Hospital." He Said.

"What?!" I Said.

"Yeah. I Saw The Nigga Semaj Dropping Her Off At The Hospital With Some Tall, Light Skinned Nigga That Helped Her Inside. I Tried To Get My Best Friend To Get In There And Check On Her, But The Police Isn't Letting Anyone In." He Said.

"That Was Probably Zavier's Fake Ass." Dex Said.

"Oh God. Do You Know Where Semaj Is Now?" I Asked.
