After putting Tessa to bed, it was time for me to eat something. I've been extremely stressed out lately. With Tessa's arrival, and arthurs gangster business thriving; I'm glad I was even able to stand.
I haven't been taking care of myself. I don't remember the last time I showered, and the last time I had water was two days ago. When I was having a so called 'tea party' with Tessa. I'm just so busy to take care of myself. Arthurs been out of the state on a work related trip. I can only hope he comes back tomorrow.

My head begins to spin as I snap out of it. Walking down the hallway to deangelines room. She's been struggling lately with finding a lover. Every guy she meets on tinder either wants her for money or sex. I can't imagine what's it's like. Arthurs loved me since day one, so it must be difficult for Dean.
I lightly knock on her door. She doesn't answer at first. But then she hollers
"Come in"
I swing the door open. There she sat in her gaming chair. Wearing her kitty cat headphones. She was playing war of warcraft. While listening to music.

Dean looks up at me and then back at her monitor. But for some reason she immediately pauses her game and approaches me.

"Mari! What .....
Your ....."

My headache begins to get worse as I hold my head in frustration. My body heating up as I nearly stumble. Dean catching me from behind as I fall into her arms.

"Mari!? Answer me!"

My eyes flutter open for a second as she lays me on her bed. She pulls out a ice pack out of her mini fridge. Holding it against my forehead as she hollers.

"Jake! Josh!! Help!!!!"
I guess her distress call was loud because suddenly Tessa appears in the doorway. She stares at me with a frown. Her lion guard plushie in her hand. We had just woke up the mind reading child.

Tessa kneels down in front of me. Gripping my arm as she places two fingers on my wrist.

"Dean she's....
Her pulse isn't there"

My eyes shut fully. My heart beat growing slow by the second. My head still spinning as Jake and Josh finally  arrive. Something was happening, and it isn't going to bode well for me in the future.
Then finally; a ringing in my ears can be heard. Followed by the deafening silence that's waiting ahead for me.
