The world is chaotic and cold. No love to give and no warmth to feel. It was easy to live in that kind of world when it was the environment you were raised in-it's just sad for the ones who were thrown into the mix without warning.
The only advice...
Kel woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He groaned and slapped around for it until he grasped it in his hand and put it to his face. He scrunched his face up when he realized he had yet to answer it and it was ringing directly in his ear.
"Hello?" He answered groggily into the phone after answering it. He also saw that it was going on 10 in the morning. Too early for him.
"Morningbaby, did I wake you?" The voice that'd belong to his grandmother came through the receiver, causing a small smile to form on Kels face.
"Nah, nah I was just gettin' up. Mornin', how you doin'?" Kel raised up in his bed and held back a yawn, stretching his arms and legs out before he rested against his headboard.
"I'm doin' fine, baby. Just callin' to botha' you." Elise chuckled. As of lately, Elise had been calling more frequently to talk to her grandsons. They didn't really talk that much and Kel and Tone only visited her around holidays since that's when they were less busy during the year. Kel didn't like to travel alone, too.
Kel chuckled and finally stood from his bed, dragging his feet against the hardwood floors, he opened his door and immediately wanted to lay back down at the sound of other voices coming from downstairs.
"Whea 'dat otha' grandson of mine?"
"Up, already gettin' on my nerves." Kel mumbled but Elise heard him and let out a laugh. Kel sat at the top of the stairs, listening to his grandmother talk in the background to someone. He couldn't make out the voice or the words Elise was saying.
"Ok I'll see—you still thea' Ezekiel?" Elise said.
Kel nodded his head as if she could see him. "Yup." Silence had taken over the phone call. Kel was just waiting for his grandma to ask what she'd been wanting to for some time now.
"When are y'all gon' come see me?" And there it was. Kel fought the urge to suck his teeth. Instead he descended down the stairs to see his brother sitting in the living room with what looked to be a female. He couldn't see her face but by the look on Tones, which he could see, they were having a serious conversation.
