I parked my car in the driveway with Ricio right behind me. He got out of his car and stood staring at the other car that was parked next to mine. We walked to the door and I let myself in. the sound of someone sniffling could be heard and I rushed forward to the living room. The coffee table was littered with papers and pens.

Sin and Nija were sitting on the floor while Madysen sat curled in the corner of the couch with a fist full of tissue in her hand. Her eyes were bloodshot red and puffy as tears continued to fall from them. I walked over to her and sat down pulling her into a tight hug.

“Stop all that crying, you gon’ be good. You will stay here with us so you won’t have to worry about being by yourself. I need your keys, I’m going to your apartment to get some of your stuff. Is there anything specific you need me to bring back?”

“No, what I want can’t be brought back,” she wailed into my chest. I felt her pain and she was right, there was no way to bring Max back.

“I know it hurts, Madysen, but this is what happens in the game of life. We all have a time when we will leave the world of the living, nobody knows when that time will come. It was Max’s time. He was taken from us too soon but there’s nothing we can do to change that. From here on out, you have to take care of yourself for the baby’s sake. It’s not about only you anymore, the baby needs you to be healthy so it can be well. You are not alone. It may feel like you are, but we got you.”

“I keep telling her ass but she ain’t trying to hear what I have to say. She’s talking a lot of crazy shit and it’s getting on my damn nerve,” Sin said looking over at us on the couch.

“Sin, would you let me do this please. I told you on the phone what I needed you to do. Please don’t piss me off, okay.”

“Whatever, Erique, she better get with the program. I don’t have time for all of the I don’t wanna live talk. Life is snuffing muthafuckas out enough, but she wants to be selfish thinking only about her damn self. She got a whole baby inside of her and she don’t want to live,”

Sin was pissed and I was trying to lighten the mood because the last thing I needed was for her to get mad. She was almost there but I had to put out the fire before it turned into an inferno. “Sin, we have to work together to get her through this. It’s not easy and we still have a whole funeral to get through. Give her time, babe.”

“Madysen, we will be here for you, boo. Have you eaten?” Nija asked softly.

“No, I’m not hungry,” she replied.

“She’s been saying the same shit since we left the hospital and that was hours ago.
