I'm trying to find Danielle a Kyle Kuzma jersey for our upcoming game, but they are all sold out.
I go on NBA.com and I make a custom jersey.
I put my name on the back of it and my number.
I fill in the order form and I order the jersey.
It should be here tomorrow.
I look at Danielle and she is sitting on the couch thinking deeply about something.
"You alright, Shorty?" I asked.
Danielle looks at me, her eyes watery.
She gets the look on her face were she is about to cry.
"What's wrong?" I asked sitting next to her.
She doesn't answer.
Her phone is beside her. I reach over her and I grab it.
She is on Instagram.
I read the comments on her pictures and I look at her.
"You shouldn't listen to them Danielle!" I grab her hand.
She looks at me. "Why do people do shit like this?" She asked.
I pull her closer to me.
"I told you before, people are gonna hate on you just because they aren't you. People out there wanna be you because of who you are and what you do. They are jealous of you!"
I feel a tear drop on my hand.
I look over at Danielle and she starts to cry harder.
I pull her into my lap and turn her around so she's facing me.
She puts her arms around my neck and pulls me into a hug.

She crys harder and I rub her head.
"Its gonna be okay. I'm always gonna be here," I say trying to comfort her.
