water then.
    PATRICK
    You are trying to be damn funny? Remember, “the difficult I can do right now, the impossible may take a little while.” However, if you asked me to...
    DWIGHT
    Oh my word, you remembered, now isn’t that about nothing…wow.
                  Brian walked up behind me on the conversation. Patrick noticed Brian standing there. I turned and saw Brian’s face. He was not smiling about anything.
    BRIAN
    Let’s go.
    DWIGHT
    Brian this is …
    BRIAN
    I don’t give a damn who he is.
                  I followed Brian out of the mall and to the car. He unlocked the doors and we entered. Brian put the key into the ignition and just sat there.
    DWIGHT
    What’s wrong?
    BRIAN
    Don’t act stupid with me!
    DWIGHT
    What are you talking about?
    BRIAN
    You standing in there talking about you didn’t want to completely lose him. Who was that?
    DWIGHT
    Patrick.
    BRIAN
    Oh okay. That’s the nigga that you fucked when you first came down for your grandfather’s funeral.
    DWIGHT
    I didn’t fuck him. And please don’t use the “n” word around me.
    BRIAN
    Don’t tell me what to say. You want to be back with him?
    DWIGHT
No! Why would you ask me that?
    BRIAN
    From the sound of your conversation you miss him.
    DWIGHT
    Patrick…I mean, Brian, I am happy with you.
    BRIAN
    So now you are calling me the nigga’s name.
    DWIGHT
Stop saying nigga!
    BRIAN
    Stop disrespecting me. Watch what the fuck you say.
    DWIGHT
It was an honest mistake.
    BRIAN
    What if I called you someone I have fucked?
    DWIGHT
    Will you please just take me to the hospital?
    Brian was so angry that it looked as though steam was coming off the top of his head. I had tears forming in my eyes because I was shocked. Riding to the hospital I sat in silence like my soul wasn’t there. Like it had just left my body and I didn’t feel anything. Then I thought to myself this man is really acting out. I know in myself that I love Brian.
    As we pulled into the parking area of the hospital I wanted to apologize to Brian.
    DWIGHT
    Brian, baby…if you feel that I disrespected you then I apologize.
                  Brian looked at me with contentment. Before I knew it he backhand slapped me.
    DWIGHT
    Why the fuck you hit me?
    BRIAN
    I didn’t mean to on the real. You know I love you but you disrespected me. I have told you about that shit, mind the things you say and do in front of me.
    DWIGHT
    Respect you huh.
    I took my hand and tried to tear his face off. I know it hurt because he held his face. He then looked at me with blood in his eyes like he was ready to kill.
    DWIGHT
    I don’t care how fucking mad you get - don’t you ever fucking hit me bitch.
    He just looked at me as I exited the car and walked into the hospital. As I stepped into the elevator I heard Brian yell out my name. I held the door and waited on him even though I didn’t want to. When Brian stepped on the elevator he pulled the “stop” button so that the elevator didn’t move.
    BRIAN
    Let’s talk.
    DWIGHT
    About what?
    BRIAN
    I don’t like this space we are in. We are stronger than this. I didn’t mean to hit you. I will never do it again.
    DWIGHT
    Brian, I don’t want to talk about this right now. I just want to go see my brother.
    BRIAN
    Listen to me. I am sorry.
    DWIGHT
    Okay. You are sorry.
                  I pressed the button for the fifth floor. On the ride up I thought how I love this man with all my heart. He is the one that is my security. When I had no one to talk to he was there. Just to see him walk by a room, into a room, made my heart smile.
    BRIAN
    Your head is so hard. I am so much in love with you. The love I have for you is choking me. But I guess you want some hoodrat street nigga. You want me to be that nigga. You want me to be that big, black, buck that will knock your head in.
    DWIGHT
    Brian, what has gotten into you since you been here. You have never talked to me like this before.
