When I called Duece the next morning, he was still with Meko. It sounded like neither one of them had been to sleep and had been partying all night. I just wanted to let him know to come and get me later and not to forget, he forgets a lot , especially when he's with Meko. Tonya was still sleep. I wish I was. I was just up, laying in the bed, starring at the ceiling thinking. Not only how I needed to find a job and begin taking care of my responsibilies here, but also about talking to Coach and hoping I don't lose my scholarship. I was still mad at myself but I wasn't going to keep beating myself up, it was just time to get up and make shit happen. As morning became noon, and noon became afternoon, I was still waiting on Deuce to come and get me. I called his phone about 3 times with no answer. Deuce has been acting different lately, weird. He never would have forgot to come and get me, no matter what he was doing or where he was or where I was. What was he doing? Where was he? He was probably still with Meko, he's reckless when he's with Meko. He doesn't have a voice in his ear when he's with Meko. Meko is cool with whatever and he loves us so he's cool with whatever.
