It'd been a couple of weeks since Jake's hospital visit, and Erika being left alone with her baby. 'Ebony' had continued coming around going to Jake's hospital check-ups, and all around helping Jake but looking more and more tired every time she came around, due to her having to be almost full-time single mother with Jackie now, besides times she could pay a neighbour to watch her.

Erika was sitting in her apartment, rocking Jackie whom was crying in her ear, Erika sighed loudly, she'd fed her, and changed her but still, she just continued wailing. "You don't even have it bad, I should be crying" Erika complained, Jackie looked at her, her bottom lip quivering, before she started whining again, Erika stood up trying to rock her while she walked around, but still Jackie kept on screaming, giving Erika a headache. Erika walked over to her small kitchen, trying to make herself a quick omelette, it was already somewhat late in the day way past breakfast, but Erika hadn't gotten the chance to eat, thanks to having to lug Jackie with her to different location to take pictures for her insta, and take her shopping, they were finally back from all that, and she was still being fussy.

"Jackie please!" Erika pleaded, while Jackie screeched some babbling nonsense at her, Erika groaned loudly,
and holding Jackie with one hand, she started to get her spatula getting her suffed omelette out of the skillet heading to her plate, when Jackie started to swing her little arms around smacking Erika's arm making her shake and frop her omelette she watched in anger as it hit the floor breaking.

"Jackie!" Erika screamed, before putting her down in her highchair stiffly, Erika was about to bend down and pick the food up, when her phone rung, she quickly raised up bumping her had on the counter top,
"Really!?" She yelled holding her head, Jackie seemed to notice Erika rubbing her head and started mimicking her, while babbling quietly, Erika breath a sigh of relif, "It took me trying to crack my skull for you to chill? My gosh kid" Erika said rolling her eyes with a little smile, before grabbing her phone answering it.

"What?" Erika said sounding a bit dry, "Hello?" The other person said a little confused, Erika gasped, hearing Jake's voice, she quickly tried to change her voice a little, and tried not to sound so drained.
"Hi Jake" She said a small smile creeping across her face as she waltz around the apartment, "Oh hey, I thought I had the wrong number" Jake laughed, "Nope! Its me" She said her voice getting more chipper by the second, feeling giddy hearing Jake's laugh, "What are you up to?" Jake asked, she could hear from his voice, he was probably smiling, "Um, nothing? Why?" Erika asked sitting by Jackie, playing with her feet while she giggled, "I hadn't seen you today, and I was just wondering if you were coming over orrr?" Jake questioned her, "I uh, well" Erika stuttered a bit looking at Jackie, whom was trying to crawl closer to her,
"Good job sweetie" Erika quietly praised her daughter, "If you can't make it its fine, are you home?" Jake asked sounding just a little disapointed already, "I'm working right now..." She lied, "Oh, okay, maybe tomorrow?" Jake suggested his mood seeming to be down, "Yeah, tomorrow" She said still trying to sound friendly, "Okay..um are you sure there's nothing I can't help you with?" Jake asked trying not to say goodbye, "I'm sure" Erika giggled, "Okay, okay, I'll quit bugging you, bye Ebony" Jake said in a somehwat joking manner, Erika smiled a bittersweet little smile, that name always seemed even more fake when Jake called her by it, "Bye Jake" She said quietly before shutting her phone off.
Erika looked down, petting Jackie's soft short hair while she bit her lip, wondering what Jake could have wanted.

Jake walked into Chance and Anthony's gaming room, looking from one to the other. "Guys you down to rap?" Jake asked sounding a bit uncomfortable and frustrated, Anthony started beat-boxing then laughed, before Chance glared at him, "What's wrong?" Chance asked, he wouldn't normally be this kind to stop gaming for his bestfriend, but he was still trying to make it up to him after getting his hand cut, among other things going on.

"I feel like...I'm just a idiot" Jake told them before sitting back on a chair, craddling his still wrapped hand and arm, it had started to twitch and tense a little on its own by now, which Jake was more then happy with.
"You just now realized this?" Anthony asked with fake shock, Jake picked up a water bottle throwing it at him, making him duck and laugh, "What are you talking about?" Chance asked arching a eyebrow, Jake spun around in his office chair, "Well, I feel like I fall for people too easy" Jake muttered, "Like in love?" Chance asked him, "I guess so, you always pick up model chicks" Anthony said making Jake smirk a little,
"Its like, bro, like what is wrong with my flippin' brain bro!?" Jake said in frustraion, stopping his chair
to rub his fingers through his fluffy blonde hair, "Don't feel too bad, its good you can get over your ex" Chance said, Jake just shrugged looking down still, "Its crazy, its like I have but not really, I think about her all the time, and it makes me feel like a little b-" Jake was saying angry with himself, before Anthony interrupted, "This other girl...It wouldn't happen to be 'Ebony' would it?" Anthony questioned sounding a little more serious, getting his friends attention.

"Maybe..." Jake mumbled, "She seems really cool bro, you should totally go for it" Chance said grinning,
Anthony just chuckled looking down, "Why are you being so freakin' mysterious?!" Chance asked looking at him,
Anthony got up walking towards the exit, "No reason guys, I was just asking a question" Anthony said he stood in the door frame putting his hoodie on. "I'd love to stay and rap with ya'll, but I got a little errand to run, if I can use a car, Jake?" Anthony said, "Yeah bro, as long as its not the lambo" Jake said still seeming slightly confused, Anthony walked out grabbing the keys to Jake's truck, texting as he got in.

Anthony:We need to meet up, now.
