I made sure everybody was asleep before I left out the house. I sat down on the porch and sighed. I looked up and watched the stars. After a while of being out there, I heard the door open.
"Why you out here now?" I heard Toosii say.
"I just needed some air," I said shrugging.
"You sure that's the only thing?" He asked as he sat next to me.
"Yeah," I said to him.
"Really? Because I been watching you the past couple of days and I know something wrong." He said to me.
"You be watching me?" I asked smiling slightly.
"Yeah, but aye, don't be tryna change the subject. What's up with you for real?" He asked me.
"Nothing, I'm fine," I said to him.
"When you say you're fine that means you're not so talk to me." He said to me.
"It's Melody's birthday today and I wanna do something with her. I'm just tryna focus on that." I said about to get up but he stopped me.
"You said you would listen more and I'm asking you to talk to me." He said to me.
"And I am. I just told you what's on my mind." I said to him.
"No, you said that's what you tryna focus on meaning you tryna not think of something else." He said to me.
"I don't know what to tell you," I said to him.
"I ain't tryna push you but I want you to know I'm here for you." He said to me.
"I know," I said leaning on him.
"Then what's on your mind?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around me.
"Why do you even think something's wrong?" I asked him.
"I told you I been paying attention. I woulda thought getting Melody woulda made a difference." He said to me.
"I love Melody and she's my everything but I was starting to think I made a mistake getting her," I said to him.
