SELITA
The ambulance got here quick as hell. They were asking me all kinds of questions. One of the EMT's noticed a bottle of extra strength pain relievers on the floor.
OH MY GOD!!!!!
HE TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
They put him on the stretcher and loaded him up in the ambulance.
I got in my car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
Lord please let my son make it.
I'm begging you Lord please let him make it.
TROY
I was in my bed texting Marissa. I didn't tell her what down today out of respect for my family's privacy.
I got up to go check on Grandma.
I opened her room door.
She was sound asleep.
I know she feels bad about what went down earlier. I know she's hurting deep down. I hope and pray that her and Aunt Brenda will be able to repair their relationship.
I closed her door and started walking back to my room.
I heard the house phone ring downstairs.
I ran down there to get it.
TROY: HELLO?
SELITA: TROY IS MOM SLEEP?
TROY: YES MA'AM. SHE SAID SHE WAS SLEEPY.
SELITA: OH MY GOD.
TROY: IS SOMETHING WRONG AUNTIE?
SELITA: WHEN I TELL YOU THIS DO NOT PANIC.
TROY: OK.
SELITA: I'M AT THE HOSPITAL WITH KELDRIC.
TROY: HOSPITAL? WHAT'S WRONG?
SELITA: (CRYING) HE....I THINK HE TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
TROY: WHAT!!!!!!!!
SELITA: TROY DO NOT PANIC AND WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TELL MOM. SHE WOULD LOSE IT.
SELITA: I'M ON MY WAY.
I hung up the phone.
I went upstairs and put on some pants and socks and shoes. I grabbed my black hoodie and closed my bedroom door.
I ran downstairs and grabbed the keys to the Suburban.
I walked out the door and locked it and got in the truck.
I pulled my phone out of my hoodie and called Derrick.
