"What, What," me and Duece both yelled thinking something was wrong.
When I got upstairs Meko was bent over holding his stomach.
"What's wrong Meko," me and Duece asked at the same time in a panic.
"Nothing, I jus been running I'm out of breath," he replied.
We both took a deep breath, because we thought it was something serious. I looked outside and Meko's truck was parked in the front.
"Where did you run from," I asked, not being sarcastic but actually wondering.
"I'm fat, everybody's not a athlete like you and Duece, I mean Duece" he replied with a nice jab.
"Whatever nigga what's up," I asked.
"I been busy, I mean real busy, I love you niggas man, y'all really my little brothers."
We knew all of this already, and was wondering where he was going with it. Like I said, Meko was never afraid to show emotion, but we were always shocked because it wasn't really Meko and it always came out of nowhere.
"We know," Duece and I both replied still wondering where this was going.
"Yall been having this dream forever, and y'all made me dream wit y'all. I'm always right there, we gone be us forever, and...." Meko started to cry.
"Bro I can't let y'all fuck up, I'm the big brother..."
Me and Duece started to cry.
"K.O. you leaving when Duece leaves" he said firmly.
"Meko I can't, I gotta be here for Tonya and the baby," I replied.
"Man fuck that, don't worry bout nuthing, I'm gone take care of everything, imma take ha to all the appointments and make sure she has everything she need, you jus go out concentrate on school and baseball and I got everything here" he said.
Damn I thought to myself, is this nigga serious. I know we love each other and he has always been there for us but this, this is crazy... I could never thank him enough or repay him for something like this.
"Damn bro, are you serious, I love you too but you font have to, I could never repay you for this," I said.
"Yes you can bro, we going to the league" we all laughed and continued to cry.
"Come on we need to go out one last time before y'all leave.
