Gianna

3:45am

I slowly opened my eyes due to the fact that I heard my phone ringing.

I pat my bed all over trying to find my ringing phone.

Once I found it I slid it and put it on top of my ear.

"Hello" I said sleepy.

"Aye Gia we got a problem" Herb stuttered.

I lift my head up, "huh?" I said confused.

"Bibby dead" he said sobbing.

My heart stopped.

I began to cry uncontrollably.

I couldn't stop.

So many things ran through my head.

Memories we lived together.

Our son.

I couldn't.

"TELL ME YOU'RE LYING!!! PLEASE!!!" I finally spoke out crying.

"PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE!!!" I cried louder each time.

The line was silent. I couldn't hear anything.

"HERB!!! HERB!!!! ANSWER ME!!!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE LYING!!!!" I cried loudly.

But I couldn't hear anything.

I cried, "GOD! WHY!!!! WHY HIM!!!!!"

I sat up and ran out the room.

I didn't know where I was going.

"BRANDON! NOOO WHY!!!!! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!!!! WHY!!!! ITS ALL MY FAULT!!!! COME BACK!!!!" I screamed crying.

I was shaking uncontrollably. I didn't know where or who to turn.

I ran through the house screaming but nobody heard me.

"Gia! Stop!" I heard Ke's voice.

I looked around everywhere but I didn't see her.

I took a deep breath and opened my eyes.

"Aye are you okay?" I heard Shawn's voice.

I looked around. I was drenched in sweat and tears.

Ke, Shawn, and Misha were around my bed.

I tried to calm my breathing.

"You okay?" Misha asked.

"Brandon's dead" I said feeling myself start to cry.

They looked confused.

"What you mean he dead?" Shawn looked at me then Ke.

"Aye y'all need to tell me where Herb and Bibby at forreal" he said.

I tired to shake that thought out my head.

I breathed in and out to control myself.

"Where's my baby?" I asked getting up out the bed.

I ran nervously into his room which was next door to mine.

He was happily playing with Mia and Sav.

I calmed down a little bit more.

"Gia!" Shawn raised his voice from my room.

I took another deep breath.

"I need to go back to Spain"

They all looked at me confused.
