Free In the Life by Will Blue

low until this all blows over. He is going to a few of the premieres, but he wants to avoid the press as much as possible. I think that they said that he is visiting some friends in Detroit."
     
    "Wait a minute? They have talked to him?"
     
    "Yeah…"
     
    "So he can't answer any of my calls, but he can talk to them? I am over here worried to death and he can't just send me a simple text to say that he is okay?"
     
    "Nigga, I am sure that…" Curtis was about to try to calm me down, but I cut him off. I was beyond livid.
     
    "Naw, fuck that! And who are these damn friends in Detroit? Why he couldn't tell me that?" I thought for a minute about what was being told to me. How dare he do this to me? I know he is going through something right now, but shouldn't he give me some kind of acknowledgement or something?
     
    "I don't know," Curtis said plainly.
     
    "You know what? Call him now!"
     
    "What?" Curtis sounded confused.
     
    "Call him on three-way now! If he answers his fucking phone, then I am so going to let him have it. Go ahead and do it."
     
    "Come on, man. I don't think…"
     
    "Just do it!" I screamed. Curtis took a quick minute to respond.
     
    "I am gonna pretend like you just didn't yell at me because of the stress you are going through right now, but you must have lost your mind."
     
    "Just please call him." I calmed down and my voice was less commanding this time.
     
    "Hold on one second. Now, if he answers don't say anything. Okay?" I agreed with him and Curtis clicked over to make the call. Soon, I heard Morris answer.
     
    "What's going on BB?"
     
    "Nothing much man. I was calling you to see how you were and also because you know Jay's birthday is coming soon and I need help thinking of what to give him."
     
    "Damn, his birthday is coming in a month, aint it?"
     
    "Yeah, and I wanted to save up to get him something really special." I am glad that Curtis had made up a reason to call Morris other than me. While they talked about nothing in particular, I walked over to the house phone. While still listening to their call on my cell phone, I called Morris. Obviously, he wasn't too busy now to answer my call. Now I had both phones up to my ear waiting to see what the outcome would be.
     
    "Hold on one sec, BB." I heard Morris say. "Okay, now what were you saying?" I was infuriated that I heard his voicemail click in over the house phone. I hung up and called again, but the same exact thing happened.
     
    "You alright over there, Morris?"
     
    "Yeah, it’s just my agent calling me. I will talk to him later." My rage came to a climax as tears streamed down my face. I couldn't be silent for any longer.
     
    "Oh so you calling me your agent now, huh? And here I thought I was your boyfriend!"
     
    "Baby?" Morris sounded so caught off guard. I know he was shitting bricks.
     
    "Oh, so I am your baby now? You know I wouldn't even know anymore. I mean, since you like to ignore my calls now. Have me over here thinking that you are going through hell and back, but you in Detroit kicking it with friends." I heard both Morris and Curtis try to cut in but I continued to rant. "So when was you gonna talk to me, huh? When were you gonna call me back? Were you ever going to?"
     
    "Of course, I was."
     
    "When? When everything blew over? Would it then be okay to act like you knew me? Maybe at that point you would ask me to go on a double date with you and Lailiana. Where she at anyway? Is that who you’ve been spending your time with? Is that whose shoulder you been crying on because it sure the hell ain’t been mine. It’s been like a week since I last talked to you. But oh, you have time to talk to everyone else, huh? You know what? Don't even answer that because I can just imagine what kind of lame shit is about to come out of your mouth. Curtis, I will talk to you later and to you Morris, go to hell."
     
    I hung up the phone and wiped all the tears away only to feel new ones being generated. My phone started
