Phone Rings..

"Mama

Mama You Know I Love You"

I Answered Hesitantly, But I Wouldn't Dare Send Moms To Voicemail.

"Hey Love, I Wanted To Check On You. I Know You Wouldn't Jeopardize A Good Thing. Your Father Was The Same Way. Don't Worry Baby, The Clouds May Have Rolled In, But That Doesn't Mean That They Won't Clear. Everything Will Be Brought To The Light", She Said.

"I Love You Ma. Talk To You Soon", I Said Before Hanging Up.

Yeah, The Clouds Had Definitely Rolled In, And I Was Caught In The Muthafuckin Storm. I'd Have To Go Back Home Soon Though. I Couldn't Leave My House Unattended To Much Longer. I Took The Next Flight Back To Atlanta, And Laid Low For Two More Weeks.
