As we left his school I brought my knees to my chest. It was my comfort position, the position I went into when the world around me was caving in, only this time it wasn’t. It was just out of habit.

“Shoes off if you’re going to have your feet in my seat love.” I hummed and undid my chucks, I had on fuzzy socks, and I was relieved anyway. I hated shoes. I laid my head on top of my knees and watched the city zoom past my window.

This side of New York was so beautiful.
I never come to the upper east side, I had no reason too. Never had the money or the connections to be over here, I only ever saw it on TV. It’s always been strange to me how another world is almost always just two or three blocks away.
I put my legs down as we pulled off from the main entrance of the NYU campus. I smiled softly to myself thinking about the fact this was Parker and Zay’s dream college.
All they’ve ever wanted was to go here. “Wanna tell me what’s on your mind? I have about an 20 minute drive.”
I started to play with my fingers, so much was on my mind.
“A lot of different things.” I answered truthfully. “I just.. Nevermind” I shook my head slightly deciding not to open up.
“No, talk. I get the feeling you’ve never had a chance too. So tell me, your secrets are safe with me” I sighed , “Just scared about the future that’s all” I shrugged sightly.
“Don’t know what’s next. Don’t wanna hold Parker and Zay back, wanna do the best I can do they don’t have to worry about me.” I don’t know when my eyes filled with tears, but when I blinked they all slid down my cheeks. “It just hit me that.. without Parker and Zay - I have no idea what to do or where I’m going in life you know?”
I put my arms over my face embarrassed at the fact I was breaking down to a man I just met. “Hey wait a minute, come here don’t cry” I heard Mav open my door and pull me into his chest, “You’re worried for no reason. Parker and Zay aren’t going to let anything happen to you. I know that for certain, and you have me as well alright?” I sank into his embrace relaxing at his words. 192Please respect copyright.PENANASStgLtOQJX
