Christopher

I woke up at about four in the morning laying on Melanie's stomach. It was storming outside and I had a bad headache. Looking at Melanie, she looked like she had been crying. She shifted a little, stretching and moving around. She sat up and looked at me, tiredly.

"Why you watching me?" She asked as I sat up. I ain't say nothing, I just stared at her before hearing the doorbell ring. Melanie looked at me confused before I sat up and got out the bed. I went down the stairs with her following behind. Looking out the peephole, it was Brandon.

"Brandon?" Melanie questioned when I opened the door.

"Thank God y'all answered da do'." He said as I looked at him crazy. He ain't look the same. Full beard and his hair was undescribable. I ain't never seen Brandon this rough ever.

"What happened B?" I questioned as Melanie brought him inside and closed the door.

"I'm feelin' crazy mayne. Like I'm wakin' up from a bad dream or sum. Nigga can't sleep. I don't even know when da last time I ate a some food." He said. "It just happened so fast mayne."

"I don't wanna talk about it." I said as Melanie came in the living room with some fresh clothes for him. I just went to the kitchen looking for a drink.

"Ain't no runnin' from dis." I heard Brandon say. "Nah, we fenna have ta talk bout dis. Last time dis happened, I let it get ta me, but na? Ain't no way I can let it go."

"There ain't shit to discuss B. It's over with now." I said. I ain't wanna talk bout Leon, it was done and over with. Talking bout him sure enough wasn't gonna bring him back either.

"Melanie, I can't keep dis bottled up inside'a me." Brandon said looking at her. "Dis feelin' is hard ta get ova." He said.

"Fuck it." I mumbled grabbing my bottle and walking out the kitchen.

"No Chris, stop." Melanie said as I stopped and looked at her. "After the events from earlier, you two both have things y'all need to get off each other's chest." She said.

"I'm straight." I said lowly as I got a look from Melanie.

"No you're not!" She grabbed the bottle out my hand and took the cap off walking towards the sink. "You don't need this." She said pouring it out. "All it does is leave me worried about you." She walked towards me. "All the suicide talks and I'm scared to think about what you will do next." She said looking at me.

"Fa real Chris?" Brandon questioned. "We went through dis da last time. You know dat ain't ever da answer. You got family an' friends dat care bout you my nigga." Brandon said. "I ain't thinkin' suicide, I'm jus' feelin' low an' shit. Like shit." He sighed. "Wanna know what I did today?" He laughed. "I drove around in Betty fa da first time since da last accident an' I was rollin' ta dat one song dat L used ta always play when we was goin' out ta da clubs." He shook his head laughing. "I felt like I felt his presence there."

"That one song we always told him to turn off?" I questioned as a small smile came across my face.

"Yeah, dat one." He laughed. "I'ma go on an' change outta dese wet clothes." He said getting up. After he left out, Melanie was just staring at me.

"You ain't gotta stare." I said.

"No, I do. I had to watch your every move basically. And I told you Andre noticed your change in mood. He's only four Chris and he's noticing these things?" She sighed folding her arms over her chest. It does bother me that he notices these things.

"Aight. I'm sorry. Sorry for scaring you, and myself. For making you worry and for allowing lil man to see these moods." I said. "I just... I just feel like hell is taking over." I sighed.

"Because you're trying to handle everything on your own. That's why I'm here for you Chris, to listen to your problems and help you find a solution." She said as I rested my forehead against her's.

Sighing, "From now on, I'ma try to work on a better me."
