Choppa sat in his car outside his parents’ house with his mind all jumbled and confused. Usually when he came to their house, it was to find peace of mind and relax but that wasn't the case this time. His presence had been being requested for almost a month but he had been blowing it off because this wasn't something he was ready to deal with. He looked around and noted that Benji’s car wasn't there, which meant that he had to deal with this himself.

After sitting in the car for over an hour, he finally decided to get out. He slowly got out and walked up to the front door, letting himself in. Solo was walking down the stairs and met him halfway.

“I thought I was going to have to come out there and get you. I was giving you a moment to get yourself together and everything but damn,” he said.

“Nah, I'm good, Pop. I'm ready,” Choppa told him.

Solo looked his youngest son in his eyes and nodded his head. He patted him on the back before they made their way back up the stairs. Solo led him to the master bedroom, where Choppa hesitated. He just stood there looking at the closed door.

“You need another minute?” Solo asked him.

Choppa shook his head as he put his hand on the doorknob. He opened the door and walked in. This was the first time that Choppa had been anywhere other than the basement of his parents’ house in over two months. As he was walking in the room, he felt like weights were weighing his legs down. The small, frail body in the California king bed looked up at him in smiled as she reached her arms out to him.

“That's My Suga.”

“No, that's My Suga.” Choppa smiled as they did their greeting they had been doing since he was a little boy. “Hey, ma.”

“Come here, I knew my baby would come. I knew you would.”

Choppa bent down and wrapped his arms around his mother, careful not to hug her too tightly. For the past two months, Violet King had been suffering from kidney failure and had been on dialysis. It literally killed Choppa to see the strongest woman he knew go through that and there was nothing he could do about it, so he stopped coming around.

Whenever he did come around, he only went straight to the basement and that was it. He avoided anything that had to do with his mother at all costs, fearing that he would break down. Since he wasn't the type that did well with emotions, he didn't need that.

“How you feeling, beautiful?” Choppa asked.

“I'm good now, baby. You done came to see me. I really can't complain,” Violet said as she rubbed Choppa’s face.

Choppa turned his face and kissed the inside of his mama’s hand. There wasn't anything in this world that he wouldn't do for her and if he could trade places with her and be in her shoes so she didn't have to go through this, he would.
