It's been 4 days. I got my phone back. Nicholas is in critical condition.

Miles: Jahseh

What

Miles: I'm sorry for your loss, Jahseh. And I'm also sorry for what happened to you.

Why did you wait this long to let me know? Everyone said has talked to me since, but you.

Miles: I know, I know, I'm sorry Jahseh.

Everybody had said their condolences to me. Everyone coming down to my mother, who I haven't talked to in YEARS. I didn't think YOU, Miles, my "best friend" would be the last. Not to mention that shitty ass comment.

Miles: Jahseh, I'm sorry. I just didn't know if you wanted to talk to me at all, and I didn't how I should introduce a conversation with you.

I don't know, how about "Hey Jahseh, are you okay? I heard about what happened." Or "Jahseh, I heard what happened. I'm sorry for your loss, I also wanted to know if you were okay." Something like that? It's not hard, Miles. You couldn't call me at all?

Miles: Jahseh, again, I'm sorry. I was scared.

Scared of what

Miles: I was scared that I would lose my bestfriend. I know it was a shitty move to wait so long to text you this, but I couldn't do it that day.

Well you did think correct, you did lose your best friend. Thank you for your very late condolences, Miles. It made everything better. It even brought my cousin back to fucking life.

Miles: Jahseh don't be like this

Stop texting me, Miles. Lose my number or something. Just stop talking me.

I close my phone and sigh. Times are rough. I've been in and out of the hospital for Nick. Praying that he's okay. Meanwhile..we're all preparing Kentrell's funeral.

Everyone has been showing endless support, now that it's all over, I feel free. Free to love the rest of my life happily, without looking over my shoulder everyday. Kimetrius has been getting the most apologies from everyone. Without him, I don't think I would be alive.

He deserves it though, he saved my life.

Everyone had came to Tampa, except Miles, but everyone relevant right now had came down to support Nick. My aunt coming down to see Nick, Cordae and I. Today, we were told Nick would be okay and that he could leave today, he was going to be using crutches for a little, but he was okay, and also we would see him today, so you know everybody was excited.

We had been here since morning and we were all itching to see Nick. Any second, I might just run into his room.

"Jared, stop recording, you might record people that are here." Gazzy says.

"So? Jahseh's little cousin gets out today, that's record worthy."

"Yeah, but don't record now." Michael said.

"Yeah wait until later." Symere says.

Just then a male doctor came over to us.

"You guys are here for Nicholas, right?" We all stood up immediately and nodded.

"Yes." I said.
