Chapter 156 Hello?
Honestly, this situation was a bit stressful for me.
No matter how Face felt, I refused to leave Too Low for dead.
So, I was still putting money on his books, trying to make sure that he was okay.
I apologized for my actions, because I was wrong.
And I think that it would’ve been easier had Too Low merely cussed me out, and vowed to never fuck with me again.
It would definitely hurt, but it was the bed I’d made for myself. But this…was completely different.
Instead of Too Low professing that he was done with me, he kept begging me to come back to him.
And that was gut wrenching to listen to the hurt in his voice.
He kept saying that he had nothing without me, which had me fucked up.
I really wished that there was some type of way that I could make things better for him.
Heal his broken heart. And since I had no real resolution, I sometimes avoided speaking to him, even when I was alone.
At this point, it had been weeks since I’d spoken to him, which was why I answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Hey, Babi,” Too Low spoke. “Hey, what’s up?”
“You know that I just heard from parole?”
My heart skipped a beat. “Oh, for real? What did they say?” “I’m coming home, baby!”
“Awww,” I cheered. “That’s what’s up, Too Low.” “Yeah, yeah. And I uh…used the apartment address.” “Okay.” I nodded. “As you should.”
“Right, right.” “Yeah.”
The line briefly went silent, as we were all probably in deep thought.
He cleared his throat. “So, uh, I want you to come see me, Babi.”
