   "Muah thanks baby for keeping tehe kids tonight. You too Justin", Madison said as her, Chanel, and Aliah got ready to go. They decided to have a girl's night out since Chanel said she had something to tell them. Justin and Corey had no plans so they said they would watch the kids. As they arrived to the bar they found a booth a took a seat. "Ladies you look lovely tonight," said the bartender as they ordered drinks. They all smiled.

   After downing a few shots Chanel felt like it was time to tell why she wanted to meet up. "Ladies, I love you all and I'm glad to have such great friends." Tears begin to flow down her face as she said, "I'm dying." Madison and Aliah were lost at words as Chanel explained that she had cancer and she couldn't afford treatment. Madison heart broke into a million pieces as she pictured herself losing another friend. "Don't worry Chanel, we're going to get you some treatment because I can't lose you." They all hugged and decided to go home.

   When they arrived home Corey and Justin had gotten the kids to sleep. Madison told Chanel that Deonte could stay the night and she would just bring him in the morning. Chanel agreed and left. Madison told Corey about Chanel and told him that they must help her. They were doing well financially so they could afford it. Corey knew Madison did not want to lose another friend so he was determined to help Chanel. He couldn't stand to see his wife cry. She was a strong woman but he had a weakness for the people that she loved. He held her close and she eventually fell asleep.

   The next morning Madison cooked breakfast, and got the kids dressed. After they were ready she took Deonte to Chanel's apartment. He ran and kissed his mom. Madison told her that her and Corey 's plan to help and told her to apply for medical insurance also. Chanel was very grateful and she felt like she finally had hope. God has answered her prayers and Madison was truly her angel.
