Today was the first day in a long time that I felt nervous about some shit. I had a court hearing with Skye about the custody of Kairi and not knowing how that shit would go had me stressing. 

Sitting up and dragging my hand down my face, I checked the time on my phone. It was 6:27 in the morning to be exact and I hadn't got a lick of sleep. The hearing was set at 9:00 am so I was hoping it'd be over before I knew it. I opened my drawer grabbing my stash before quickly rolling up, and deciding I'd just smoke until I felt sleepy.

I needed something to occupy my thoughts so I picked my phone up unlocking it and scrolling through my pictures. It was so many pics of me and Kai it gave me hope. I know God wouldn't take my lil girl from me like that, she the one person that kept me together. Without Kairi, I don't know what I'd do. Not wanting to look at the pics no more, I locked my phone.

The sound of a text notification came from my phone causing me to frown. Who the fuck would be texting me at 6 in the morning?

I picked my phone up to see the picture I took of Korion on my screen along with a her contact name. Unlocking my phone I read her message thinking about everything she was saying.

Shit crazy, she just know what to say. She know how to make me feel like she care, It's something about her maturity and how she handle me that I love. I know Kori cared enough to stick with me through tough shit but she respected herself enough not to allow too much and I respect that. Knowing that she not going out of her way to be there for me for money or to benefit from it made me feel good. I can't remember the last time I felt this at ease about anything, it always felt like as soon as shit start going good something bad came up. I can't help that part of me know Kori came into my life for a reason, and vice versa.

I scrolled down my contact list deciding to FaceTime her.
