I decided to get out of the house for the day, I was going to call and check on Lolo but I had gotten a text from Brianna saying that he'd be in isolation for three days and today was only day two. When I got the text it worried me only because one I didn't know she had my number and two he wasn't one to get violent with anyone but I just assumed it was Seven causing trouble so I didn't say anything but I planned on asking him what actually happened once he called me. She also told me he put me down as a contact on his paperwork a little after we started dating so I wasn't too worried after that.

After getting dressed I made myself a bagel with strawberry cream cheese and a bottle of water, I guess I couldn't eat much because I sad but I did plan on getting lunch later, as I sat at the island I got a text for Makayla. we were all in the group chat but she texted me separately all the time which I thought was super sweet.

Are you gonna come with us to the fair?-Makayla🧿

Yes ma'am 💕. I'm eating right now, I'll meet you guys there.

The baby mamas GC 💕🤪

Can't wait to see you Yaya, we miss you.-Mya🦋

I miss you guys too. I'll be there I promise 🤞🏾❤️-Anya🤍.

Locking my phone I glanced over at the photo framed of Milo and I, I printed it off at Walmart it was the picture of our first date, feeling my eyes beginning to water I shook my emotions off for the time being and finished my food. Tossing my pager plate into the trash I grabbed my water, key, and bag before leaving the house. I was grateful for the group of friends we shared no matter what I knew they'd be here for Milo and myself.

The drive to the fair was about 30 minutes from where we lived. I hummed along to Good Days by Sza, her and Jhené Aiko's music always made me feel better.

Pulling into the parking lot where the fair was being held I notice the girls right away. Putting my car in park and got out with my water and bag my stomach started to grumble at the smell of funnel cake.

"Hey boo!" Draya said running up to me and giving me the biggest hug. I guess they all missed me because the rest of the group followed behind Draya.

"You straight shorty?" Dre asked as he all walked into the entrance to pay for our tickets.

"I'm ok.."

"How long is he gone for?" He asked watching our surroundings.

"They said 6 weeks." I cleared my throat because I didn't want to cry, I just wanted to enjoy my day. I'd cry later.

"Damn.. He gets to call you right?"

"Yeah but not for the next three days-

"I brought your tickets Yaya." Amir said handing me tickets for the games since of course I wouldn't be riding rides.

"That was nice of you. Thanks." I smiled before Makayla interlocked her arm with mine.

"You're welcome." He said as we all made our way around the fair.

I didn't ride any rides but I watched and took pictures, I didn't mind waiting on them they were enjoying themselves and so was I.

"Come on Yaya! Get in the picture." Draya chuckled as we all made goofy faces for her selfie. After taking pictures we sat on the benches as the guys got food for us.

"Do you wanna go with us to Six flags Saturday? It's the one on San Antonio." Mya asked as she drank some of her lemonade.

"Yeah I don't mind going. How far is it from here?"

"About 4 hours away. Did you want to ride with one of us or drive your own car?" Makayla chimed in.

"I'm not sure. I can drive to whomever's house we're going to meet at and leave my car there. Unless everyone wants to meet at my place?" I said as Dre handed me my plate of chicken tenders and funnel cake before sitting next to Makayla.

"We can maybe rent a van and spend the weekend there since it's summer break? How does that sound?"

"That's not a bad idea honestly." Amir chimed in before stealing a fry from Draya's plate and she threw a napkin at him.

"Ok that's fine I can rent the van and we just leave our cars at Dre and Makayla's since it's closer to the rental place."

"It's about to be lit! Damn I wish Lo was here." Trey said as Dre nudged him.

I twisted my lips to the side trying to fix my face but it was too late.

"She's crying." Makayla said poking her bottom lip out.

"Aw baby mama." Mya cooed giving me a hug. "Please don't cry."

"I'm sorry. I just really miss him being around. The place he's at is like 45 minutes away but-"

"Let's go see him, it's still day light out." Dre said and everyone agreed.

"You think they'll let us in?" I sniffled wiping my tears.

"It won't hurt to try." Mya said handing me a bottle of water.

I smiled a little at how optimistic they were, it wouldn't hurt to try.

Standing up we threw our trash away and went to our cars. I asked Dre to ride with me and Mya rode with Makayla. I just wanted someone to talk to besides the girls.

"What's wrong shorty?"

"I need to tell you something.. I don't want this get out to anymore else. Ok?"

"Yeah go ahead. You know I don't say shit." He said as I got into the right lane.

"I think Lo was using something... I found a baggie in the trash can so hopefully he's getting help for that while he's there. I didn't wanna bring it up around anyone but I trust you and know you won't say anything."

"That's wild. Did he act any different the other day?"

"He was being really sweet but I know for sure he doesn't do it all the time.. I found the baggie a little after Seven had left."

"So Seven is a bad alter?"

"He's just really straightforward and blunt and dangerous at times. He doesn't come out much anymore though."

"Oh... I'm not gonna say anything. I don't trust Trey so don't tell his ass shit he's like a damn parrot repeating shit." He said making me laugh.

"Don't let this stuff I told you turn you away from being Milo's friend please. Other than me... You and the guys are all he has."

Dre nodded and licked his lips. "I gotcha shorty. I promise."

Pulling up to the building my heart feel in my stomach, it looked like one of those old building in the horror movies.

"You ready?"

I nodded my head before getting out of the car, we walked into the building and went to the front desk.

"Good evening. How can I help you young people?"

"I'm here to see my boyfriend.."

"Name?"

"Milo Stevens."

The other woman who's name was Mary typed his information in and gave me a look.

"I'm sorry sweetie he's in isolation.. No visitors-"

"Yo, let my sis see her dude please? She's pregnant." Amir said walking up to the window, I gave him a look telling him to be nice.

"Let me see what I can do. Go have a seat." She said giving us a weak smile.

We sat in the waiting area for what felt like forever before a woman in scrubs came out of the back.

"Anya Briggs?"

I looked over at our friends as they motioned for me to go.

"We ain't gonna leave you." Trey said as I nodded and followed behind her.

"Usually in isolation the patient can't have visitors but were letting you do this via special request." She said scanning her card to his room. I walked in and he was sitting at his desk with his head down.

"Milo?" I whispered as he looked over at me.

"A-Anya?... What... what are you doing here?" He mumbled furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.

He looked like he still hadn't been sleeping or eating for that matter.

"I came to see you." My voice cracked as he hurried over to be giving me a biggest hug I think he's ever given me.

"I miss you." He whispered into my ear.

"I missed you too bae." I already knew who this was.

"Hey. What I say about that crying shit." He chuckled wiping my tears with his thumb. "You here alone?"

"No.. Everyone else is out front.. What happened?"

"Some bullshit. The stupid ass guard had be locked in this bitch for no reason. I already told Brianna about it and the guard is being suspended." He huffed.

"I can't wait for you to come home. This place seems-"

"Ms. Briggs it's time to go-"

"She just got here."

"I'm sorry darlin I don't make the rules." The nurse shrugged which pissed me off, it was like she didn't even care.

"Imma call you tomorrow aight?"

"Ok." I nodded before she walked me out of the room. I could hear things being tossed around I guess he was really angry about me having to leave. I saw a few nurses walking in the direction of his room but I didn't get a chance to turn around and look.

Walking back into the lobby everyone stood up.

"He good? You weren't back there long at all." Dre said.

I nodded before sighing. I didn't want to go into details.

"Lets get out of here." I mumbled walking to the door.

Once everyone got into their cars we all headed home, I thanked them for coming with me before they left to go to their respected places.

I walked into the house and noticed a sketchbook on the counter. I guess I was in such a rush I didn't see it earlier, I picked it up and went into the bedroom, after showering I got into bed and opened the book.

"Wow these are beautiful." I muttered flipping through the pages all the signatures said Milo so I assumed he left it here.

I can't wait for him to come home.
