"I can't believe your really leaving."

"You gon cry me a river or what?" Tae said laughing.

He was so nonchalant about everything but I knew deep down he was gonna miss me. Just as much as I was going to miss him.

"Such an ass." I mumbled.

"Aye doe I gotta talk to you doe befo my Uber get here."

"I'm listeninggg." I spun around on the kitchen stool.

"You a big girl. You gotta handle pops and his medicines and shit. You've been doing it and shit but now it's yo full responsibility til I come back. Also school start next month I want you on yo shit. Not chasing after these little niggas cause they fasho don't give a fuck about you. Ima be sending you and pops money so that's not a issue. I'll be back way before your graduation so don't jump down my neck. I want you on yo shit Lolo." He said referring me to my nickname. "You here me?"

"I here you. I just don't understand why your leaving in the first place?"

"It's just to much going on right now. It's certain shit I gotta handle. I'll be gone three months tops."

"Okaaay. I think I can hold it down for that long."

"Shit you better be able to."

"Okay."

"And if anybody ask who your brother is, what do you say?"

"Hamilton Johnson." I stated.

"My girl." We both laughed at that dumb ass name.

Though it was a dumb ass name, it had meaning to it. A meaning that only we knew.

"Ight pops in out of here." he said as we both walked out the kitchen.

"Alright boy. Be safe. Ok?"

"I gotchu. Watch after my baby." He pushes my head.

"Shoot I need her to watch over me." We all laughed.

"Alright y'all. Love y'all."

"Bye love you too."

"Love you too son."

And he was out the door.

"It's 7:30. Did you take your medicine?"

"No."

"Don't you think you need to be taking it daddy?"

"I'm tired of that stuff she prescribed me. It makes me tired and just weird."

"Well it helps build your immune system which you need."

I went up to his room grabbing the correct bottle before grabbing him a cold bottle of water from the fridge handing it to him.

He took two, taking sips of water to wash it down.

I sat down next to him and we watched tv until he drifted off to sleep. I helped him get into the bed before I went upstairs to take a shower.

When I got out, I dressed in something simple. August wanted to take me to dinner and I didn't have a problem with that.

When he pulled up to the house I made sure everything was locked up before jogging to the car.

"Fat ass."

"You always talking shit."

"I kno."

"Where are we going?"

"Damn you can't wait?"

"I just wanna know."
