Later that night

Keysha thought about what she and Donnie were talking about earlier. She didn't want him telling Sean about it and she damn sure didn't want Anika or Cordel telling him either. She parked her car walking up to her old home with her mom knocking on the door. She had keys still but would rather not use them. Anika opened the door surprised to see Keysha.

"What you doing here?" Anika asked with a surprised voice.

“Dont worry I wont be long.”

Keysha walked inside making her way to the living room.

"Have you told Sean about what happened to me?"

“No I haven't, why?”

"Well I don't want you to tell him. Keep it to yourself. No explanation. I will tell him when I'm ready."

Keysha made her way out heading toward the door.

"Keysha wait!"

Keysha stopped in her tracks turning toward her mom.

“Look, I'm sorry about what I said at the hospital. It was wrong, I had no right. I was just emotional.”

"What took you so long? If I had not come to see you today would you have ever apologized?"

Anika had no words to say. Keysha blew out her breath.

“I accept your apology, see you around mom.”

Keysha with no true soul to her words turned back around heading out the door. Anika didnt stop her, letting her leave. Keysha shed a tear, wishing that her mom would stop her from leaving.

The next day

Keysha woke up smelling breakfast in the air.

"Good morning girl" Raquel said.

“Were you been? Feel like I haven't seen you in a whiel”

"Shit I've been working I got to make this money!"

“Well I need me a job, School is over and I need something to fill my day with. Raquel is your job hiring?”

Raquel panicked a bit. Her job as been her alibi for her dancing. If Keysha worked with her she would have to tell her sooner than she wanted about her double life.

"No we not hiring but I know a few summer jobs that hiring."

“I don't care just hook me up, I'll work wherever and just find a better job while i'm doing that.”

"How you feeling?" Raquel asked.

“Everybody been asking me that I'm fine.”

"Just making sure sis."

“The people at the hospital, they recommended I get some therapy. I'm starting to feel like I might need it.”

"So you thinking about going?"

“Yeah I'll go to see how it is. I don't want to go crazy and lose my mind over this.”

"I understand sis, I might need some therapy myself." Raquel laughed.

“Who knows what mind framed I'll be in after my baby boy is born.”

“Well you know I'm here if you need a baby sitter.”

“Girl bye you ain't gone have time.”

"Anything for my little nephew"

“Yeah we'll see.”

"You heard from Maurice?" Keysha asked.

“ No not really you know he out thugging. He called a couple times to see how the baby doing but that's it. His brother's death got him bugging. I think he on that stuff now.”

"I hope he not, maybe we should stop by and check on him a few times and see how he doing."

“That sounds like a good Idea. In the meanwhile I'm going to take you to these jobs so you can fill out these apps.”
