MARIAPerhaps it’s right to think that some people know when they’re going to die. While others would give anything for a sign even as far as get involved in a study or mere algorithm——the others just get more than a gut feeling or dream. And the rest, they don’t even want to know. I was one of the rest, i was the opposite, willing to give everything to not know how long i’ll live or when i was going to die.Not even for God forsaken closure. And sometimes, even though you still know, there’s still no closure, no preparation because no one really wants to die.Well, Aaliyah didn’t. *MARIA I paced around own room holding the phone to my ears. I waited for her response for more than a minute as she engaged with a doctor. Wu.We were both panicking, her

AALIYAH ABOUT TWO YEARS BACK"Coming" I squealed as I gathered the flairs of the gown with one hand while I opened the door with another."We have a conversation after this" Wu said as she helped me down the stairs. "Also, I think I kinda blabbed to your mum the whole therapist thing" She warned. "I'm high" She said."You look magnificent" Dele complimented as he walked up to me with a very noticeable nigerian accent. "You too" I plainly said as my eye caught his fanciful tuxedos with a shoe that still managed to compliment his attire. "He's def hot. I'm so snapping him to send to the girls" Wu obviously whispered into my ears as he smiled. "You know I'm like steps away" He revealed, awkwardly. "Is that a yes?" Wu asked as she reached for her phone before I looked at her."I think, you need

JACQUELINE I walked out of the exit and unto the stairway, i pulled up my mask, finally heaving a breath of fresh air as i my elbows rested on the staircase.I heard the sound of the door, knowing who must have followed me from behind. I got a side profile of her as she also, clung to the railings with a sigh.“You know, Dele’s awake” She heaved and i remained quiet, still as the winds that breezed from the open center top of the hospital into my face.“Yes, yes i know” I finally replied. “Jacqueline, i don’t what’s up but i don’t want to be the first to judge or anything. I know it’s about this covid and this scenario is a lot more familiar to you than anyone else. But Aal isn’t going to die”“Not yet” She rephrased. And i sighed. “It seems like i’m the only one that sees this” I answe

WU"Look who it is, i thought you'd never come back" Fox gritted through his teeth, not bothering to look back at us, heavily surrounded by his guards. I gazed to the grounds and the table surface that was messed with powder and drugs and the walls.You might have asked why we didn't call the police or choose the easier way out, but looking at this, the police wouldn't want to care who was involved or not. It was my building now, and i was apart of it, i dealt in it whether i liked it or not. I couldn't risk going to jail for that."You know a little birdy came to me" He finally made an effort to turn around with a knife in his hands. I jerked immediately, moving closer to Jade and he chuckled, staring right in her eyes."I just hope it isn't true" He sang softly as he moved closer to Jade, his fingertips rubbing softly against the tip of the sharp knife that it grazed into his skin. He bled, but he didn't care.

 MARIA “She’s sick, Mar” She shortened my name in a whisper as i held myself against the kitchen counter. I felt strength depart from my hands, i closed my eyes. “She’s really sick” Went on echoing in my head as that was one of my biggest fears, the first of which was not having to see her before she dies. But everything began to seem alot realer. Not just the type of health scares she had or something that had to do with her meds. It was covid, and it was a whole lot serious that we doubted she’ll make it. “You might need to come back home, sooner” That was what prompted that statement and we both understood. I immediately felt the presence of my mother trailing behind me before i opened them. “What about Wu? How’s she doing with everything?” I asked, not bothering to look b
