Life Support Page #3

And there's almost

no way in hell

she would even be here

if I wasn't clean and sober

and taking AZ when I was pregnant.

You go ahead and take

all the herbs you want.

But that baby...

that baby needs medicine.

What about your husband?

Is he going to Jamaica with you?

- Good morning, Life Support.

- You haven't told him yet.

No.

He's not gonna want

to hear about no HIV.

I can't tell him, Ana.

You don't understand.

Why haven't you told him?

Are you... I mean...

you're worried, you think he's going

to get violent with you or something?

No.

Then you need to tell him.

Look, I ain't going to lie.

When Slick told me

he had the virus,

I wanted to kill him.

I mean,

we were struggling.

He was in jail.

I was still getting high.

Had already lost custody

of one daughter 'cause of the drugs.

I mean, it was a hell

of a wake-up call,

but him telling me

actually saved my life

and my family.

Just think about it.

You're stronger

than you think, girl.

No...

Amare!

Amare.

Amare.

Amare. Amare!

Amare, wake up!

Amare! Wake up.

Are you all right?

You need me to take

you to the hospital?

- I just fell asleep. Or something.

- Right.

You fell asleep?

Amare, you can't

smoke in here.

Oh yeah, right. Sorry.

Amare, look at me.

Are you sick

or are you high?

Forget it.

It doesn't even matter.

If you don't take care of yourself,

you're gonna end up

in the hospital again.

I'm taking my meds, I'm just...

they just...

they make me sleepy is all.

Amare, don't play me.

You think I don't know about meds?

Well, I know you know.

You're a smart schoolgirl.

You know lots of stuff.

Yeah, well, f*** you.

What do you want from me?

Am I supposed

to be like you,

with your big house

and your big old grandma

keeping you safe from harm and sh*t?

You're gonna throw

that in my face?

Nah, well I wouldn't do that.

Come on.

You know it's been me and you

since my parents died.

Come on, now.

- Come on. Leave me alone.

- You can't smoke in the house,

Amare. Damn it.

Did you talk to Michael?

Yeah. We're gonna get up soon,

so it's all good.

Well, what are you

gonna do now?

'Cause I got

a lot of homework to do.

Okay.

Hey... your... your grandma

is coming home soon?

Yeah.

There's a lot of stuff

I gotta get done anyway, so...

Amare.

Why don't you

give me a call later

and we'll figure out

about tonight, all right?

Yeah.

Tonight. Later.

All the little girls

like Chris Brown.

And I think he's cute too.

I have him

on my notebook.

Look at her.

Doesn't she kind of look

like your sister?

Except she's 6'-3".

Mm-hmm.

You know I'm gonna be 6'-3".

You just might be.

Do you wanna go

to a basketball game sometime?
