"About that " Trevis said while scratching the back of his neck.
"What do you mean "about that?" where is my brother?" I asked sitting up .
" I'm sorry " Trey said putting his head in his hands rocking back and fourth.
" Tell me where he is! Fuck are you saying sorry for?" I Yelled.
" Stop! Ziare damn the hospital called DCFS because they found out your mom is on drugs, they said you guys are in a unstable environment, if they didn't call that would be child endangerment.
"You let my little brother get taken and you didn't do anything? " I said a little over a whisper .
"Don't put this on me Ziare. What was I supposed to do? I'm not his blood and I'm not family. What else was I supposed to do? None of this Is my fault so don't yell at me when you don't know shit, You've been in A coma for a month, Zayveon has been in DCFS since you've been in here. I don't know shit about this, I've been trying so miss me with that accusing bullshit, I've been nothing but help."
" Fuck you Trevis, you don't care you don't know what I've been through, fuck your help."
" I Don't know what you go through? Trust me I do. You don't know shit about me except what I fucking wrote and what we talked about, there is so many more people going through so much worse shit than you. " He yelled than walked out and slammed the door .
Its Been three days since Trevis last came and blew up In my face . I realized I was wrong. All he wanted was to help me and I pushed him away like everybody else.
My thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the door.
"Come in" I said turning my back towards the door .
I felt the bed dip, those same arms wrapped around me when hug.
" I'm sorry for blowing up In your face last time we spoke."
He said while laying down behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to blow up and accuse you of doing something you didn't, I wasn't thinking I was just so upset that my brother got taken away from me. He's the only one I got. "
" It's okay baby you got me and don't worry because court is in two days and all you have to do is show up and tell them your story. Your birthday is coming up , all you have to do is prove that you're stable." He tried convincing me.
" Right but how am I supposed to do that if I don't even have a pot to piss in or a pillow to lay my head?"
"Don't worry Ziare Don't I always got your back? " He asked.
