"Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about"....
Tia Johnson wakes up from a coma of 5 months. Life changes around her tremendously. In the second part of the DOWN SOUTH series, Tia learns who's real and who's not.
"Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us....Everyday. They are unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and very much. "
I heard a soft creek coming from the door causing me to look up and see Kentrell walking in. He haven't been his best these past couple of months....Well none of us haven't.
" you good?" He questioned walking over to the chair beside the hospital bed.
" yeah i'm straight" I mumbled.
Last month was my sister 20th birthday and she spent it being in a coma, in the hospital with brain damage. I couldn't even celebrate my 18th birthday the right way because I couldn't function straight knowing that she was here.
" I was talking ta beenie today and h-"
" Kentrell i don't wanna hear nothing about beenie. It's over" I snapped focusing my attention back on my insensible sister
He smacked his lips and shook his head from his seat. " Tamia why you acting like dat, i-"
" Acting like what Kentrell? I'm going through something! I can't just can't keep a stable relationship knowing that my sister IN A FUCKING COMA" I argued.
He Turned his head and smacked his lips a second time. " I can't be like you...." I said lowering my voice down a little.
" Whatchu mean you ain like me?" He asked, needing clarification.
" How can you just jump into another relationship? you don' been through so much shit with this girl." I stressed, on the verge of almost letting out a tear.
"Mane fuck you Tamia, I'm goin thru the same shit you goin thru. It ain't easy! I'm da one gotta take care of a chile by ma'self" He asserted with rage in his voice
" Kentrell if i find out you got that bitch round my niece then it's gon' be up with me! Do you hear me?" I questioned along with a chuckle.
He smacked his lips and stood up from his chair, " Whateva, i'm finna go. I gotta show" He mumbled before making his way out of the room.
It seemed as if nobody cared. Everybody was focused on their relationships and such but I couldn't focus on mine. I broke up with Beenie 3 months ago and I couldn't lie I miss him but it's whatever.
I heard knocks coming from the door and seconds later walked in Kennedy with her 8 month pregnant belly and behind her was Chariah and Jamiyah.
" Hey yall" I greeted with a frown.
" Hey mia" Kennedy and Jamiyah spoke.
" Hey, We just saw Kentrell, Why he look so mad?" Chariah asked walking further into the room.
I sighed, " I just had to curse his ass out" I replied.
" Why?" Kennedy asked before taking a seat in the chair that Kentrell was previously sitting in.
" It was about that lil Instagram bitch that he been running around with? I outta slap his ass" Jamiyah snapped. Taking a seat in a empty chair, along with Chariah.
" man I saw that, what is that all about? like damn yo girlfriend is laying up here in a coma and you got the NERVE to fuck with somebody else" Chariah ranted.
" It's okay cause when she get out of the coma....she gon' make all the hoes mad" Jamiyah said.
" You know it" I agreed along with a soft giggle.
Kentrell Desean Gaulden
" how you doing Ms. johnson?" I greeted over to Tia mama.
" Hey boy, you came to drop my baby off?" She smiled as she reached for Kaliyah.
"I'm flying to Cali fa a show ....I need you ta watch ha fa me" I replied handing Kaliyah over.
" No problem baby, I Got ha" She smiled.
I handed over the baby bag with all of her shit in it and said my goodbyes. " I'a see you when I get back ma" I said after handing everything over.
" Okay baby, be safe. Call me when you make it" She told before pulling up the door.
" aight" I said before walking off.
Tamia Nicole Johnson
" look at this hoe" I mugged scrolling upon a picture of Kentrell's new girlfriend, who he claimed wasn't.
I turned my phone around so that Chariah,Miyah and Kennedy could observe the picture.

" Aww nawl sis, He a real clownn. I thought yall was playing" Kennedy gasped.
" Nope! They be all lovey dovey on instagram and he be flying her out and shit....Ben told me" Chariah explained.
" forreal?" Kennedy questioned.
" Girl yeah! I jus wish my best friend was conscious, cause none of this shit would be going on" Chariah replied once more.
" He a dirty dog, Just wait til I have my baby....Imma spray dat nigga" kennedy threatened.
We all looked at her and laughed, " Bitch you talking about killing that man?" I asked.
" Nawl, Imma spray that nigga with my mase" Kennedy clarified.
" Oh shit....You scared me fa a minute" I laughed.
The whole day was dedicated to us talking about random stuff. This was the way it was for the past 5 months since She been in a coma. Chariah and Jamiyah haven't been to Chicago since the incident happened.
It wasn't the same though....Like, she wasn't here. But whoever did this was gonna have to pay. Big time! Down South taught me something, well it taught me a lot of stuff....One in particular
There comes a time in your life, when you realize who matters, who never did, Who won't anymore, and who always will. And in the end you learn who real.....who fake, and who would really go the mile for you.....
This all the people my sister needed in her life....
