Ok now i just got to find Meko and see what is going on. When he goes to see Tonya maybe she will calm down and relax. I meant to ask Deuce if he had seen or talked to Meko, but i forgot, I was actually just surprised he answered the phone. It was almost time for practice, so i left and went to the Student Center to get something to eat before. Damn... every time i come to the Student Center i lose focus, actually just being on campus is hard to stay focused, all these females... and they love athletes. Lord please give me the strength!!! A couple of the guys were already there, so we kicked the shit, ate, and headed to practice. Practice was hell like usual. Actually we wasn't even practicing baseball, it was just lifting and legs. We were all drained after practice. After leg day everybody knew it was no extracurricular activities afterwards. It was straight home, shower and straight to bed. It was a struggle making it across campus, the 5 min walk seemed like 30 today. When i finally got home, the first thing i always check is my phone. That's strange I had 10 missed calls from Tonya and 5 from Momma. Fuck!!! It must be something wrong with the baby for Tonya and Momma to call. I called Tonya back first. She answered the phone screaming and crying.
"He's dead, he's dead, he's dead, he's dead Kea'onn, he's gone he's gone," she was crying uncontrollably.
"Babe calm down, the baby's not dead he couldn't be, he was just fine a couple days ago," I said hoping that what i was saying was true.
"Meko, Kea'onn, Meko, its Meko, they found him at home, he's gone," she exclaimed
"Stop fucking playing, that shit aint funny," I had started crying too.
"He's gone Kea'onn, he's gone, what are you gonna do, what am i gonna do, what is my baby gonna do," she asked in a panic.
"We just gotta stay strong baby," I reassured her.
"What is my baby gonna do without a daddy," she asked confusing me
"What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
