We Need Each Other

Gone III

I woke up next to Talia expecting Shawn to be in his spot. I felt sluggish & didn't want to get up.

My phone began to ring, I looked at the caller-id it was Shawn's little sister Lisa. I answered it,

"Hi Lisa."

"Hey Cameron."

"How are you holding up?"

"I've been better, you?"

"It hurts, Liz bad."

"I know, I hear you talked to the twins & Bo."

"Yes, they all assured me that if i need anything don't hesiate to call. I liked Josh the best, he was the most comforting."

"Good, Cammi, I really appreciate you being there for my brother instead of pushing him away. He really did love you."

"Lizzy I couldn't push that boy away if i tried. thats my heart."

Lisa laughed a little, "Mom wants to go get Shawn's suit & wanted to know if you want to come."

"I would love to but I have to go pick out a uh casket for my son." I said tearing up

"I'm sorry Cam."

"it's okay, I'll talk to you later."

Lisa hung up & I went to shower.

I got out the shower, I shook Talia to wake her up.

"Tai, go get in the shower."

My phone started to ring. it was a number I didn't recognize. I picked it.

"Cam? It's Josh. I got your number from Talia if that's okay with you?

"It's fine. what's up?"

"Are you busy today?"

"I'm actually meeting with the funeral director today."

"Can we meet after? I have something to give you."

"um, sure. I'll call you when I'm done."

I hung up & Talia came out the bathroom dressed & ready to go.

Talia drove, I kept looking at my phone halfway thinking Shawn was going to call me & ask me was I okay and did I need anything.

My phone started to ring & of course it wasn't Shawn it was Trent.

"What?"

"Goodmorning to you too. I wanted you to know that I've already picked out our son 's Uh yeah. I've already did most work with the help of your father and Dre. And I sat up a nail appointment for you at Tiffany's. You can go over there when ever you like."

"Trent, I don't know what to say. . . thank you.".

"it's the least I can do for you. You're stressed enough."

"Thank you really, Tre. I appreciate it."

"No problem, now go get pampered beautiful."

I smiled and hung up. Talia glanced at me.

"Trent made arrangements for me to get my nails done today and already picked everything out for our son."

"I'm proud of him. To Tiffany's we go."

. . . . . .

I walked out & got in the passenger seat. Talia drove back to my house.

I called Josh.

"Yes Cam."

"Where would you like to meet at?"

"There's a little restaurant on Bay Street, leave your purse. it's on me."
