~Breezy P.O.V.~

"Are you coming to bed?" Vonnie called out to me from upstairs in our room. I was downstairs letting Cocoa Butter go outside for the last time tonight so I was standing at the sliding door. Breezon wanted to go to the city with Joel and Junior so of course my ass let him go. I wasn't sure if LJ was going too but I like seeing Breezon going out and doing shit far from the gang bullshit and I'm lucky he has no interest in it. Gonna keep encouraging him to stay away from it as much as I can.

"Yeah I'll be up in a second, Cocoa Butter about to head in." I called back out to her. I hadn't heard from Trey all day and there wasn't anything from Ivanna aside from my call to her this morning... that was a bad sign to me. "Come on Cocoa Butter, we gotta get to bed." I said and there was the instant sound of her chain swishing as she came racing back inside. Locking the door behind me and heading towards the stairs, I hit the light switch and the house was completely dark aside from the light coming from our room.

"You look like something's bothering you." Vonnie said as she laid in bed curled up in her pillows. "Everything okay?" Pulling my shirt over my head and shoulders, I tossed it in the laundry basket next to the door and remained in my shorts since it was kinda warm up here. I should probably open a window but its so far away and I'm already in the process of sitting- now I'm officially sitting on the bed so all hope is lost for me opening a window, unless I get Vonnie to? I could just cuddle up with her so she gets too hot to where she has to go open a window. Yup, that's the game plan but I gotta be extra slick about it so she doesn't suspect me trying to indirectly get her to open the window.

"I'm good, just concerned for Trey. I know he likes to smoke and have a few drinks but it's been a lot more of that lately and that ain't like him. I ain't wanna say anythin' at first because that's his business but he's changed a lot since he left." I know seven years is a long time and a lot can happen in those seven years but it really changed my smubnffl, it's like Trey ain't even Trey anymore.

"Maybe you should mention it to Trey? It wouldn't hurt to and I noticed too. August mentioned it to me at the shop not too long ago as well." She said as her cinnamon spice eyes remained stuck on mine.

"That's the thing, we hardly talk anymore. You know I stopped smoking a while ago, maybe a hit here and there but nothing like I used to so when he smokes as much as he does, I just ain't around because he gets hella tripped out."

"You sure he's just smoking weed?" I nodded but that instantly made me second guess my action because as far as I know that's all he smokes and I feel like I don't know as much as I probably should know. "For his sake I would hope so. Ty smokes more than everyone combined but he doesn't trip out like Trey-

"Two different people, Vonnie. They just react different. Plus Ty has been smoking every day since he first started, Trey no where near as much."

"That's true, never mind. I say talk to him tomorrow and make sure all is good with him. I'm gonna go to sleep so I'll talk to you in the morning. I love you."

"I love you too, Mamas." I reached down to give her a final kiss before laying flat on my back. I turned off the lamp on my nightstand and rested my hands on my stomach as I just laid here. I know I wanted her to go open the window but fuck that plan, now I'm scared about Trey and just what he's been up to. I can't worry about him like that though because he's his own person, he's grown and I guess nothing's wrong if he hasn't said anything to me but I just feel off about it.

I wanna say not even a full hour later I was being woken up by a frantic Vonnie. She was calling my name and shaking me violently till I realized this wasn't a dream, this was actually her waking me up.
