Grind and Pray

XXI

"Pablo P.O.V": I'm sitting infront of Hope room door because i know she doing the same on the opposite side of the door.

Pablo: Hope, i know your on the other side. Talk to me.
Hope: I just want to die. Moms gone, i'm struggling to take care of you. Snoop is here because i dont want him living out on the streets. Plus he's my little brother too.
Pablo: Hope no. You're going to fight through all of this i promise. I'll uhm get a job for after school and help out around the house. I'll sell some of...
Hope: No. I want you to live your life as a kid while you still can. Don't worry about helping out. I got this okay.
Pablo: Alright.

     I stood.

Pablo: Take a shower sis. I'ma go get some food and rent some movies. Do that sound good?
Hope: Yes.
Pablo: Alright. I love you sis.
Hope: Love you too. Hey, can you bring back some brownies? *slides  twenty under the door*
Pablo: *chuckles and picks up the money* yeah, ill be back in a little.

     I put my shoes on and left up out the house.

"Hope P.O.V": I slowly open my curtains allowing light to finally flow into my room. I then opened the sliding door letting fresh air in. I hooked my phone to the speaker and let pandora take control. The song, "I think I'm in love by Kat Dahlia" played as i begin to clean my room. I then opened my room door, okay time for me to fight this depression. As i  removed the sheets from the bed, I saw a shadow coming from the doorway. As i looked, it was Chuckii and i damn near cried. I began walking towards him.

Hope: What are you doing here?
Chuckii: Well i got a concert in town tomorrow night and i ain't wanna stay in no hotel.
Hope: Awww. Well you know...
Chuckii: Don't worry, i got them tickets and a plus one incase they wanted to bring someone.
Hope: Thats cute. Uhm i'm getting over this rough stage of my life.
Chuckii: good cause i cant take no more of you mopping around.

    I laughed and put the sheets on the floor. I can't believe i'm stuck like glue to him. I walked into my closet and grabbed another bed spread because time for new sheets. As i'm putting on the new sheets, Chuckii sits in my desk chair and the song, "Thunder by Chloe x Halle" began playing. I sung along lowly until Chuckii turned down the music.

Chuckii: So Hope.
Hope: Whats up?
Chuckii: I uhm want you and the boys to meet my mom.
Hope: Uhm, you sure?
Chuckii: Yeah. I see a lot of potential in you. I ain't letting you go.
Hope: *smiles* When am i meeting her?
Chuckii: probably next week. I'll fly you and the boys out there.
Hope: baby you sure?
Chuckii: *tickles Hope* Ask me again and ima make you pee yourself.
Hope: okayokay *laughing*

     I grabbed the sheets off of the floor and went to the washer. I put them in to wash and in walked Snoop smiling.

Hope: Snoop why you smiling?
Snoop: I got a girlfriend sis.
Hope: She must be amazing to be having you this happy.
Snoop: Yeah she is. You wanna see a picture of her?
Hope: yeah.

      Snoop showed me the picture from his instagram and i laughed. They cute.

Hope: Well maybe she could be your date to the concert tomorrow.
Snoop: Chuckii concert? Man his tickets expensive
Chuckii: thats why you getting them from me, and you get V.I.P slash backstage passes.

      Chuckii handed Snoop the passes and they bro hugged each other.

Chuckii: Bring your female friend.
Snoop: Will do bruh.

     Snoop went into the room and i turned around, causing me to look up into Chuckii eyes.

Hope: Thank you.
Chuckii: For what?
Hope: Doing what you do for them even though you don't have to.
Chuckii: Aye they my fam now ma'. Now i need you to go shower before Pablo get back with the food.

     I headed to the bathroom without saying another word.

"Chuckii P.O.V": Once Hope jumped in the shower, i went to Snoop and Pablo room. Snoop was on the phone laying upside down on the bed but yeah.

Chuckii: You busy right now?
Snoop: hold up ma. Wassup Chuck.
Chuckii: Name something Hope don't got that she want.
Snoop: A ring from you.
Chuckii: How you know that?
Snoop: She brought it up once, how she uhm see herself marrying you and having kids with you.
Chuckii: Word?
Snoop: Yeah. But my lady on the phone soooo...
Chuckii: Thanks bruh yeah go ahead.

     I walked back into her room and began searching for a ring, so i could try and figure out her ring size. Just as i found one, the water stopped. Dammit. She walked out of the bathroom with a robe on and her hair wrapped in a towel.

Hope: I need to go out to the store.
Chuckii: Why?
Hope: Pablo birthday next week.
Chuckii: How old he gone be?
Hope: 17.
Chuckii: Want me to...
Hope: Just stay here. Ima go right quick since i already know what he wants.

    She walked into her closet looking comfortable, came out looking like a goddess. (Outfit down below)

Hope: baby walk me out to the car.

     I walked out the house right behing Hope. She's just a big ball of sunshine.
