The Revenge of HER

Lost

017.

Kgothatso Mchaba

I searched for my keys in a panic as Reece and Vin just watched me losing my marbles, I had a sudden pounce of fear rushing in me, as I recalled the last time I spoke to my brother. Everything has been nothing but a mess ever since the engagement night.

"Kambani joe?" Kabelo ased as he looked at me than back at his phone.

"My brothers fiancé called, his not breathing."

"What!" they both exclaimed ,focus now on one hundred, "Yeah, she said his just laying there, not breathing.So I wanna rush over there and take him to the hospital,"

"We coming," Hlogi stood up ,picking up his phone.

"Thanks bro," I offered.

"Ayy bro lets hurry up,what if there's traffic." Kabelo yelled from the kitchen, "I would but...I cant find my keys kau."

"Le'ss vaai hondt, lets go with mine,"

"Awes."

"Wait I've got to make a call,"

phone ringing...

"Hi Kg,"

"Laur , please get ready we coming to fetch you,"

"What's wrong?"

"I'll explain when you in the car,"

"I don't know Kgothatso, whats wrong?"

"Laur please..."

"mhm, okay i'll get ready."

"Thank you,"

"Hlogi can we make a stop by Laur's crib?"

"Sho bruh."

*********(Laur's drivethrough)******

"Hi guys," she greeted as she got in the car , we all offered a greeting as she sat and put on her seat belt, "Aight wassup?"

"Brandon... his not breathing,"

She looked into my eyes and held my hand "You know how i feel about him, but i know his gonna make it, don't stress." she kissed my cheek and Hlogi let out a grunt.

I looked at him through the rear view mirror "O kgama keng?"

"Hayi nex bro yaka,"

****

We arrived, but on my mind thoughts of if we made it tortured me,
"Check I'll go in, if i need help I'll call."

"Qu! Are you okay?" i shout out in entrance of the house, i wanted to know if she was okay first.

"I'm okay, it's your brother I'm worried about." i truthfully stated.

"Let's get him off the couch and let's take him to the hospital."

"Let me help carry him."

"No your pregnant, it's fine I'll call my friend..."

I pulled out my phone and tapped on Reece's contact,"Ek'se Hlogi, can you and Kabelo come in? "

"Sure,"

They came in and greeted Qu then helped me carry Brandon, this nigga weighed a ton, my skinny self and friends were struggling but managed to get him into the car.

"Laur, please stay here and guard the house while we're gone."

"Is that why you needed me!" she rolled her eyes slumping her back on the car seat, i walked to her side of the car and held her hands, "I trust you, it's not because i couldn't do it myself but i need you to stay and guard it incase something happens,please."

"It's fine I'll stay with her," Reece offered.

"Nah i need you to drive,"

"Laur... please."

"Fine," she decided and got out of the car but she stopped in her tracks to look at Qu, "Where is she going?"

"She's his fiancé so she's entitled to come,"

"Home wrecker." Lorraine said loudly enough, so that Qu could hear her. "Lorraine -" i warned.

"Whatever, but just know I'm eating all your food."

"You can't afford to be petty at a time like this," i whispered lowly to myself, i was disappointed to be frank.

She slowly and simply walked into the house and i watched her body disappear, i wondered if leaving her alone would be proper.

"Eh kau let's go!" Kabelo screamed from the back, i got back into my senses and I quickly climbed in the car and Hlogi hit the gas.

***Hospital***

It's been 3 flipping hours sitting and moving around in one spot, if we didn't get a report back on how he's doing in 1 more hour than I'm sure as hell going bezerk up in this. I looked at Qu hold onto her stomach and support herself as she was lost in her never ending thoughts, if she lost Brandon she would have to raise that baby all by herself.

Without realising that the doctor walked in, Kabelo shook my arm to catch my attention, I shot up out of my seat and directed my attention to the doctor.

"Doc, how's he holding up?"

"He's out of the danger zone , he's actually lucky he got here in time or else..."

"Or else what?"

"He would've been a goner let me tell you."

"Okay I hear that but what happened to him?" Shaquille asked standing up, her slow paced walk towards us had me feeling sorry for her, thoughts of what if she went into cardiac arrest or stress from this incident. I didn't know her like that, nor her past so what if she's been through the most and witnessing this probably could've triggered her.

"His results came back positive for an allergic reaction."

"How!" she screamed out, "I do not keep any peanuts round the house ,so what could've possibly triggered his allergies!"

"That ma'am I can not know ,the swelling in his brain grew too quick and cut off his circulatory systems, if you did not make it, we could've been singing another tune,"

Dumbstruck...confused...angered how the hell did he get triggered...Did? No! Shaquille could not...could she?

"Lady and gent, i'm sorry I have other patients to attend to, enjoy your day."

"Doc -"

"Yes?"

"Are we allowed to see him?"

"Of course,"

"Thanks Doc."

Sometimes I wonder if that same inspiration I had for this book is still there?

Cause i'm legit sitting, thinking is it worth it, but I mean at the same time I think I'm just bored, I think I get bored too damn quick cause the other day I was going through Navigations{if yall remember it} and I almost cried thinking bout "Don't you miss writing it?" or "Did I make the right choice by cancelling it?" and my answer is....

nah.

so i'll see if I still have that zing for this book, or I might cancel it. :)
