That night. Me and Dave was in bed looking at Drugs Inc. My favorite show. I don't like drugs but I like seeing the police do their work without hurting people.

Dave was sleep in my bed. We didn't do nothing. Don't worry. I just wanted some company. But I kept thinking about home. I want to visit my sister and parents so bad. But I don't really have the money for it. I lost my job. Rustin fired me after I came from the party with Dave. He called me that night.

So I been home all month. Sometimes I'll eat and buy clothes but I have to stop. I'm still in my classes tho. Graduate in a few weeks. I'm good tho.

It was 4:47AM. Oreo came in my room then hop on the bed. "Hey baby"I rub his head. He lick my cheek then went to Dave licking his cheek.

"Stop Keegan"he said in a raspy voice. I smack my lips then push him to wake up.

"That wasn't me"I rolled my eyes and hop out of bed.

"I know"he chuckle. "What you want to do today? Or you have to work"

I look at my feet and sigh. "I don't work with Rustin anymore. He fired me"

"He fired you?"Dave tilt his head.

"Yes"I walk in the bathroom.

"Well, I'ma take you somewhere to relax your mind"he said. I smile at that as I fix my hair.

"Okay"

I walk with Dave to the park talking about life and stuff. He told me he had a daughter. Which I already knew he did. He showed me pictures of her. She was so pretty and look just like him.

"Have you ever talk about having kids?"Dave ask me.

"No. I don't want to have kids"I said.

"Why?"he narrowed his eyebrows.

"Cause I want to still party and get drunk and date"I said.

"Wow"he laugh. "Who you want to date?"

"Someone who can take care of me"I said.

"Mmmmm"he nod his head. "Like me"

"Like you?"I said looking into his eyes.

"Yeah, like me"
