Amerie

I open my eyes not realizing that I had fell asleep on the couch in my room. A blanket is draped over me and I figure Ace had done it. I look around to see Ace on the other side of the couch with his arms folded in front asleep. Typical nigga.

"Psssst... Ace." he doesn't respond. "Psssst... Ace." still nothing. If I was trying to kill him this would be easy. I cant reach him to tap him so he leaves me with no choice. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I scream and he jumps up pointing his gun.

"Amerie what the hell?!"

"You left me with no choice, I was calling your name and you didn't answer."

"I could've shot you."

"Well you didn't so that's a good thing."

"What do you want?"

"I need a pill. It's about that time. And I'm hungry."

"I'll get your pill and as far as food I can't help you. But, can always order something."

"Like what?'

"Whatever you want."

"I can work with that."

"Good, you think about what you want and I'll go grab your medicine." Ace leaves the room and I think about what it is that I have a taste for but nothing comes to mind. Instead I think about how different Ace is from Jay. Although Ace appears to be so coldhearted and unapproachable he's actually chill and a good listener. Despite him not being my type Ace was attractive, he was a lot easier to talk to. I wouldn't mind being stuck with him all day, I would definitely choose him over Jay any day.

Ace comes back in the room holding a pill in his hand.

"Do you want it now or do you wanna eat first?"

"I guess eat first, I didn't really eat much today since my breakfast was rudely interrupted."

"Ight. Did you decide on what you wanted to eat?"

"I have no clue. What do you want?"

"I don't know either." We sit in silence thinking about what it is that we both want. After a few moments of thinking we both start talking.

"How about wings?" We say in unison. We look at each other and start laughing.

"Maybe being your babysitter isn't all that bad." Ace pulls out his phone to place the order. "What kind of wings do you want?"

"Um... barbeque, with ranch on the side."

"I gotchu." After a few minutes Ace put his phone back into his pocket. "Alright, food should be here in about 20 minutes."

"Good. But I don't wanna sit in here can we go to the living room? I need a change of scenery." Ace gets up and walks towards my bed where the crutches are and brings them to me.

"Do you need help?"

"No I got it." I attempt to get myself up but fail miserably.

"Here lemme help you." He lifts me up from the couch to help me stand and I grip his shoulders to try and balance myself. He grabs my crutches and placed them gently under my arms.
