"Getting some air will do you good" Olivia said keeping a distance from Jasmin

"yeah. hopefully, itll help the mocos go down easier, too" Jasmin said holding her stomach as i shook my head, she has been throwing up and sweating like crazy

"But im telling you, this aint nothing. I'm gonna be back to my fine-ass self in no time." Jasmin said as we walked over to Ruby and Monse, as Jasmin coughed on Ruby earning in him hurriedly moving over to Monse

"Lover, can i borrow your pocket square?" she asked holding her hand out to Ruby

"Use your hand" he said as she tired to hold back throwing up again

"I think you need to go back inside" Monse said looking at her

"but away from me" Olivia said also looking at her

"Then where should i go?" Jasmin asked looking at us

"The daycare center. What? Babies are always sick" Ruby said as she nodded gagging

"Hi, Lana" Cesar smiled coming over and kissing me, before standing behind me placing his hands on my waist

"Give me some of those" Cesar said taking some of the pamphlets from Monse, and handing them to the people who walk past us

I already knew Jamal wasn't coming right now, so i ignored all of their questions, they dont deserve to know.

"It was a nice ceremony" Ruby said walking over to Cesar and I as Olivia walked away

"Yea" Cesar nodded looking between the two

"you didnt kill him"

"Monse!"

"Hes not dead, but... hes gone" Cesar said tightening his grip on my waist

"What does that mean?" Monse asked looking at him

"Did you know?" she asked looking at me, as i didnt say anything

"But i didnt shoot. I didnt shoot, man!" Latrelle yelled panting as his voice cracking

"You should've" Cesar said looking at him getting ready to pull the trigged

"Come on, man. Come on, man! You dont have to do this, man!"

"Dont tell me what to do!" Cesar yelled kicking is leg

"Come on, man. I dont wanna die! There's got to be another way."

"There is" Cesar said nodding

"We-well, i-ill do whatever you want, man. Whatever!" Latrelle said looking at him

"Disappear"

"For sure. For sure, man. Ill dip. Just dont kill me."

"Tonight. Leave tonight.  Cant tell anyone you're going or where you're going to. You just gotta go. Evaporate" Cesar said as Latrelle looked down beginning to stutter

"I got some people out in Florida. I cant go there. My-my big homie just got out-"

"Dont bullshit me!" Cesar yelled cutting him off
