(MIARA'S POV TUESDAY 10:37.A.m)
So at midnight we got home & Kel's mom wasn't there. She called us and told us that his dad was back in the hospital for his cancer because his nose has been bleeding none stop & he is losing a lot of blood. We don't know what's going to happen to him. His damn nose just won't stop bleeding! We're going to see his father tonight. We're probably gonna stay for tonight & tomorrow. Im gonna try to be real comforting so i made Kel breakfast. I hoped in the shower for about 15 minutes. I dried off & got dressed. I put on a fitted aqua blue sleeveless crop top. A tight white & black high waisted slim skirt & some aqua blue sneakers. I let my Curly curly hair down to my bra line. I put on a white & black headband to match with a bow. I head downstairs
but before i get the chance i hear Kel call my name.
"Miaraaaa!" he yelled.
"Coming..!" i said jogging upstairs. "What babe?" I said as i got to his room.
"Where you going?" he said softly.
"To go run some arrons, you need anything?"
"I need you to come back when you done." he smirked.
"I will...and i made you breakfast, i left it in the microwave..okay!" i said giving him a kiss.
"Thanks Baby Girl, be safe." he said kissing me back. I walk down the stairs grabbing the spare key. I put on a leather jacket that is black, head out the door and lock it. I whistle for a taxi and surely enough one comes swerving around the corner. I open up the door and get it.
"Where to?" he asked as he started driving. "Bay 7th street please!" i replied. "Alright!" He said.
I just laid my head back on the seat and daydreamed about how great last night was. Until i drifted off to sleep.
I woke up to the man yelling "aye, I've got places to go yorkie. Wake up!" I rubbed my eyes and looked up.
"I said bay 7th street not bay 8th street."
"Not my problem, now get out and give me my money." He commented. I handed him a $5 bill and got out.
"You still owe me $5 more." he yelled as i took off running slamming the car door. He just drove away giving me the middle finger. I chucked as i walked with my head down, Then i look up to see a car coming at me with full force. suddenly i feel my self getting pushed to the other side hard. I look up to see a guy about the age of 18 or 19 holding his hand out to help me up. He was a light skinned brown had mixed boy hair and blue braces, bout 6.2...he was really cute. I grabbed his hand and he helped me up.
"Aye, you almost got hit by that car. Watch out more, your to cute to just get killed by some rusty old car aight.....Are you okay?" Damn his accent though!

"Yeah, sorry. I should watch out more."

"You new round here."

"Nwal, i live on bay 7th street round the corner."

"How come i ain't never seen you, im always at my homes house over there?"

"I be at Kel's house."

"Bay 47th street Kel?"

"Yep, that's my baby!" i said blushing.

"That's my homes too, tell um we needa catch up on some stuff when you see em."

"Aight!" i said walking away.

"Where you going lil mama?!"

"Home to check on my ma, and run some airons."

"Can i walk with you?"

"Don't matter" i said still walking. he jogged over to me and we just walked and talked till we got to my house.

"Aye, you live here! You know Mike?"

"Ha, yea thats my twin brother!"

"So your Miara? wow, should've known. Tell him to come over to my house at 2 Aight?" He yelled walking away.

"Whatever!" i yelled back opening the door. I saw my mom in the kitchen sitting down, waiting on me i guess.

"Hey mom your back from California early." I said giving her a big hug. "How's grandma?"

"Not so well to be honest."

"Why not? What's wrong now?"

"Nothing new, she's just still sick and i need someone to stay down there with her for a while until she gets better."

"Why dont you say?"

"My job's sending me back to new jersey again. So i won't be able to help her. she cant stay with us because they have to do a 3 years kemo treatment that will cure most of her cancer! Your brother cant go because of his scholarship to NYU and im sorry bu-"

"Don't say it mom, that's not right! That isnt fair to me, you always pull some shit like this. Im graduated now, on my way to do big things, move out and get married with Kel! Go to Julli-"

"No your not Miara!" she yelled at me...there was blank silence. "You think for me as a mother i want you to move with your grandma, No i dont! And this marriage thing, haha your hilarious. Your 17 Miara-"

"I turn 18 in july ma, your trippen. You can't hold me down like im some little girl. Yeah New York's dangerous but I've been living here since i was a baby. I know how to handle myself i mean be real ma! Your just tryina hold me down cause dad aint here, i get it. We all miss em, but he in a better place so your just gonna have to move on like the rest of us." i had my self in tears. "I love Kel with every single part of me ma, i really do! I can't leave em we've been threw thick and thin. His dad is in the hospital for his cancer again and they ont think he gone live this time! Just like how dad was and now grandma and Kel's dad. This aint right i gotta stay here and help him go threw this. But you just gotta fuck it up right?.....right!" I couldn't handle it i ran up the stairs crying to my room.
"Miaraa!" My mom called but i just slammed the door and locked it.

This was pure bull. I hated this all this stuff was going on i just couldn't handle it. Whats gonna happen to me and Kel? I love him so much...I cant leave em!

I continued to cry until i finally fell asleep on my bed. I woke up and it was already 8:59 at night. I grabbed some clothes threw um in a bag with some other things and grabbed my phone. I had 7 missed calls and 13 messages from Kel. I grabbed my house keys and called Kel as i walked out the door. To my suprise i saw him on the porch standing.
"I was just about to open the door. where were you? and why it look like you've been crying babe?" he said sounding worried.
"It's nothing, im fine!" i said walking out the door.
"Everything alright Baby Girl?"he grabbed my hand pulling me to him....trying to wipe the dry tears away. I looked away not saying anything. "Come on, tell me babe."
"My mom wants me to go live with my grandma for a while." i looked down.
"So she lives on Bay 46th street thats right next to me!" He smiled.
"Im talm bout my dads mom in cali..." Thats when his whole face expression went from a smile to straight up sadness.
(KEL'S POV TUESDAY NIGHT)
"Im talm bout my dads mom in cali..." When she said that i almost cried. Dont think i over exaggerated maybe alittle. But every damn time she went to Cali she stayed for like months at the most. I hate it cause all we do is video chat and she kisss me threw the phone and say i love you but it aint the same. All i could say was "Oh okay!" as i looked away.
"So thats it "oh okay." No baby no. how we gone see each other..no none?"
"What i suppose to say?Can i come with you baby girl, because you know i cant!"i said softly raising my voice.
"I know...im sorry!" she said hugging me..pressing her head in my chest just crying softly. She's emotional if you cant tell buh i am too a little...
"I know you wont be there that long Baby Girl. " I said against her Neck.
"I know but its different that time....."
"itll work... Ready to go Baby girl? " I asked her softly grabbing her hand.
"Um, Yeah if you are?"

"Yeah I'm just kinda nerves to see my dad hooked up to that stupid machine again...this happened last year and this time i just don't know." i said weakly.

"Im here for you baby kel...everything will be okay." she said rubbing my arm gently letting me feel warm comfort. I smiled lightly and whistled for a cab. We got in and told him where to go. We was quiet the whole way i just leaned on Miara as she played with my hair, which she loved to do. When we got to the hospital we stopped by the desk and got my dad's room number. We walked to his room hand in hand. When we got out side his room i stopped.

"Whats wrong?"

"Im nerves, im scared, and i cant breath...!" i said trying to take deep breaths slowly.

"Everything's gonna be alright Kel, i love you okay?" she hugged me tight.

"Love you too!" i hugged her back.

I knocked on the door till i heard a week low "come in" from my dad. Aye he's alright i thought as i opened the door to see my dad laying on a bed full of bloody towels and blankets.

"Dad!" i said running over to him. "Why's there blood everywhere? why aren't you fixed? Isn't there a cure? are you okay? why aren't they helping you? why-"

"S-sonn stop all the questions! Chill. I Know im on edge but its to hard to fa-face right now okay? just spend time with y-your ol man aye?"

"Ah...Alright."

"Hey Melvin.." I heard miara say behind me slowly.

"Is that Baby girl? damn ian seen ya in a while how are you Miara?" my said still weakly.

"Good what about you sir?" she smiled.

"Just tryina keep my head up, thats all." He sighed.

"Yeah."

We all continued to talk about crazy stuff. We told him we hard sex and how mom walked in he cracked up. He actually was hoping she was pregnant. It was good to hear him laugh its like he was getting better over the night i was so happy. Me and Miara was all wrapped up with each other on the sofa and drifted to sleep. Today was better than i thought.
