Antonius took weeks to get himself in the zone about telling her. So he was listening to music and the song really hit home with him. The song said "If I go broke, who gon' carry me? Who gon' take care of me? Who finna marry me? I think I'ma be alone 'til they bury me". Antonius kept playing the song and the song gave him a drive to be better. So if she said "no I don't want to be with you" then he would be good. So he avoided her for a few days, and she came to his house. Jada was so angry, she started cussing him out. "You've been acting funny lately and not answering phone calls and texts. But I need to tell you something."
Antonius said "Wassup?"
Jada was smiling so hard and said "I found someone and he just asked me to marry him." Antonius was shocked and asked Jada " What did you say?"
Jada said "I said yes silly. I wanted you to be the first one to know." Antonius blood was boiling and he was trying to hold back all of this anger. But he told her that he had to meet up with his brother Jayr. She said "Ok, just hit me up later" Antonius nodded his head at her and gave her a hug like a goodbye.
Antonius went to the airport to meet Jayr. "I heard the news" said Jayr
"I want to be stronger, I don't want to be hurt again," said Antonius. "You know people are going to ask about you," said Jayr. "I will trust that you will cover for me?" asked Antonius. Jayr went for a handshake, but Antonius gave him a hug.
"I love you little brother, Just make sure Jada is safe" said Antonius. Jayr said "Always"
Antonius walks on the plane and flies away to become something else.
