After we left the hospital, Liyah drove and went to go get food. Once we got food, we went to Mari and Indigo's house and went in. Her mom went into the guest room and we went up to her room.

"Imma shower first then eat..." she said

"Okay..." I said sitting on her bean bag

She grabbed her some night clothes, got in, bathe and got out. I did the same, once we found a movie we started eating. To my surprise the food was still hot. We sat in the bed, watched tv and ate. Once we were done, she took the trash downstairs and brung up ice cream. Her and this damn ice cream. We ate the ice cream then laid down.

I sat up and looked at her for a minute. She looked at me and smiled.

"Let me take you out on a date. It will be our first official date..." I said

"Okay..." she said smiling
"You know I've never been on a real date before..." she said

"Really??" I asked and she nodded

She looked at me for a second, opened her mouth to say something but closed it back. After a few seconds she spoke.

"Why me??" She asked looking in my eyes

"What you mean??" I asked

"I see how all the girl fan girl over you when we're out. You can have any girl you want, why me??" She asked looking in my eyes

"Because you are different. Girls here only want me because I'm popular. They only want me to become popular, spent my money and use me for sex. You are different from them. You don't care about my social status or how much money I have. You like me for me and that drew me to you..." I said truthfully

"Aww baby..." she said grabbing my face kissing me
"So, when is this date??" She asked

"How about this weekend??" I asked

"I got to check my schedule..." she said making me laugh

We talked for a little bit before we ended up slumped.

*Next Morning

Liyah mom called her at 9 to wake us up. She told us to get dress so we could get breakfast and take some to Indigo and Mari. We got up, did what we needed to, put some clothes on then went to get breakfast. We ended up getting breakfast from Denny's. It look like 35 minutes to get done. We got it and headed to the hospital. We went in the room, gave them their breakfast and we all ate. We talked a little and after 4 hours Indigo got released. We all got in the car and went back to the house. Once we made it Indigo and Mari went upstairs while the rest of us sat in the front room. Their mom picked a movie for us to watch. While watching the movie Mari came downstairs and sat beside her mom.

"Is Indigo okay??" Her mom asked

"Yeah, she's sleep. Just took pain pills cuz her side was hurting..." Mari said laying against her mom

"How you feeling??" Her mom asked her

"I'm fine just wish everything will just be over already..." Mari said sighing

"It will be soon just stay positive..." her mom said kissing her forehead making her smile

"Okay I want some of that..." Liyah said jumping on Mari hugging her

"Eww..." Mari said as Liyah kissed her face

"Girl hush, you know you love me..." Liyah said hugging her again

"I do love you..." Mari said hugging her back

Their mom hugged them both. Mari looked up at me and held her hand out for me. I grabbed it and she pulled me off the couch into the hug. We hugged each other for like 3 minutes then we got up. We started back watching the movies and a few minutes later we hear Indigo calling for Mari. She went upstairs for a minute but didn't come back down, so Liyah called her. She answered the FaceTime call.
