Invisible Halo (MGK Fanfic)

Chapter 35

Colson pov

After leaving the mall so frantically I felt so out of whack. I carried Casie to the parking lot and we kind of just stood there. I was thinking but Casie was looking up waiting for me to unlock the door. The news from the doctor made me question so much. Latoya had went to the center to get better, not to get worse. Last time I checked, the key part of getting better is being alive and healthy. Like if you get in a car accident, the whole point of going to the hospital is getting help from the doctors. Maybe I was just too blinded by ignorance and uneducated on those with psychological issues.

To be completely honest I was sick of how my life was turning out. Nothing seemed to go right and it seemed to be as if I was the main cause of it all. If I hadn't left Monica, she'd be fine, we may have even been able to makeup. If I would've known what would've happened to Latoya, I would have given her the support she needed. I would of made sure every chance that was thrown my way I would have taken Casie to go see her mom. Life was crazy how one day someone was in your life and the next moment they were snatched away from you. One day, I just want to settle down with a nice girl who understands what I do for a living and loves Casie the same as I do. Monica was my only chance at that and there was a huge chance I either ruined it for good or she would never come back.

While beating myself up I was interrupted by my phone vibrating in my pocket.

Oh god, not another phone call. Please say they didn't call back with more news, although it can't get worst then death. I thought.

I looked at my phone and let out a breath of relief. This time there was no creepy unknown number, but a friend.

"Hey Dub!" I said as I answered the phone.

"Aye wassup man!" He responded.

"Nothing really, just being crazy ole me!"

"Oh okay, just wanted to see if you could possibly come pick me up from the airport. I wanted to call a cab and surprise you but the Wood's called me informing me that you weren't there and that you may have gotten out to get your mind straight. Something about you may have gotten some upsetting news."

"Yeah, nothing is seeming to go right, but I'll be there as soon as possible."

"Alright, see you later man! I actually have a lot of good news to tell you maybe it'll lighten the mood."

I hung up the phone feeling a little more at ease than I did before the call. I'm glad that I'd be home with a good hometown friend. At a time like this, having someone to talk to was a blessing.

"You ready to go Casie?" I asked.

"Uh huh, I want to go home and play with my new dolls!" She said ecstatic.

"Well first we're going to go pick up uncle Dub from the airport and then we're going home! Sound like a plan?"

"Yep!"

I pressed the button on the keychain to unlock the doors. Casie jumped in her usual seat in the back as I walked to the trunk to make sure there was room for Dub's bag. After moving some stuff out of the way, I walked back to the front of the car and got into the drivers seat.

As I drove to the airport I played a Kidz Bop album that I found in the glove compartment. I couldn't believe the Wood's didn't have an aux cord or a better album in here. Though the music was terrible, I couldn't knock it because Casie was happily singing along in the back. Her happiness is all I wanted right now because later she would soon have to hear about her mother's death. Telling her about Monica was one thing, but how do you tell a child that their mother died? Either way it seemed so brutal, whether I was being delicate or not.
