I swear my heart skipped a beat or two the moment we got to De's floor in the hospital. We still don't know what happened to him but from the sounds of it, I'm expecting the worst. The moment we reached his room JoJo and K-Ci stepped out to greet us, leaving Dalvin in there.
"What the hell happened?!" I immediately asked.
"Bruh, De got robbed! They beat him...bad," K-Ci vaguely briefed us as he seemed to still be in shock.
"They? Who's they?!"
"I don't know Iz, we don't know but it was definitely somebody that he or we know altogether," K responded.
"I need to see him," I brushed passed the two brothers and approached the door with Tehmina following close behind me while Xina and Mani stayed behind to talk to JoJo and K. Fuck I don't know what I'm going to see, but here goes nothing.
Slowly opening the door, I peeked through to see Dalvin sitting by De's bed with his head in his hands. He quickly looked up at me with the reddess eyes, and I knew right then that he'd been crying.
"Dal...," was all I could get out before averting my attention to DeVante, and my heart sank directly to my stomach. My baby...who the fuck could have done this to him and more importantly, why?
His face was covered in dark bruises, cuts, and a gash that was covered in bandages. His arms were bruised as well but definitely not as intensely as probably the rest of his body. He laid there unconscious, but seemed to be breathing normally based on one of the monitors he's connected to.
"Fuck yo, Dal I'm so sorry...what the hell happened like beginning to end, what happened?" Mina asked as she walked over to hold and comfort him.
"Bruh we invited him over to my place for a guys night and watch football. He never showed which is not like him, but I didn't think much of it at first. Then JoJo was like, let's go check on him. And so we did, and when we got there we found him like this...tied up to a chair n shit. They destroyed his whole livin room and basement Mina- all his shit man," Dalvin could barely speak the last part because he began sobbing again.
"Shit De...shit shit shiiit...," I held his right hand tightly and just sat there crying in his fist.
. . .
*5 hours later*
I haven't left his side since I arrived. Me and Dal both slept in the small but comfy hospital chairs in his room until we heard faint coughing.
Jumping out of my sleep a little, I quickly sat up and lazily rubbed my eyes to clear my vision.
I glanced over at Dalvin who was doing the same exact thing. The rest of the crew went back home to try and get some sleep but should be here in the next couple of hours. A few members from the Bassment Cru showed up a little after we did. All except Radiah.
"Is he up?" he asked in a groggy tone.
"I think he's trying to wake up," I stood up and grabbed his hand, kneeling down at this bedside. We watched as De shifted a little as he finally opened his eyes exposing those hazel orbs. He looked to left to see Dalvin's tired face. He look looked a bit confused but relived to see a familiar face.
Then he turned to his right...
And his eyes instantly grew wide, but not with excitement...
with fear.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME YOU GRIMEY BITCH," he snapped, snatching his hand away from mine. He shot up on the bed, wincing in pain. He grabbed his side as he looked up at me with pure abhorrence.
Gasping in shock, I quickly stood up and backed away slowly holding my hands out in confusion and hurt. He can't possibly think that I had something to do with this! There's no way in hell!
"De...what are you...what-."
"YOU SET ME UP, IT WAS YOU I KNOW IT WAS!"
"Aye! De you're buggin dog, just calm down," Dalvin placed a hand on his arm but he just flinched it away.
"FUCK THAT! ION TRUST NOBODY! Who else you got to plan this huh? What you got the rest of ya girls in on it too? Y'all get the bassment cru in on it? Hmm?? This was your way of gettin back at a nigga for the I put you through right? For kissin that girl in Texas? For the arguments? Was it really that deep?!"
This man done lost his damn marbles. How could he sit up here and really do this to me? Accuse me of something so far out of my character I could hardly catch it! I couldn't help but to let the budding tears fall as I watched my lover degrade me like this.
"Wow....I can't believe th-"
"GET THE FUCK OUT!" he screamed, making me jump back in a mixture of shock, hurt and fear. This shit is really happening.
"Izzy I'm so-," Dalvin reached out to grab my arm but I quickly turned my heels and damn near ran out of there. My heart raced quicker and quicker by the minute causing me to hyperventilate. I made my way towards the exit, bumping into a couple of nurses on the way. Some of them asked if I was okay but I ignored them. I just need to get outside and to some fresh air before I pass the fuck out.
Finally reaching the automatic double doors, I ran out and immediately fell to my knees. The cool, dark, 3am morning air hit my face as I screamed to the top of my lungs. I screamed in pain. Both physically and emotionally. My chest feels tight and I know it's my condition trying to take over, but I don't care at this point. In this very moment....I want to die.
I can never win. My dad hates me, De's parents hate me, and now De my number one protector hates me. I balled my hands into fists and banged them against my head. I then grabbed my dark hair and squeezed them between my fingers as tightly as I could, burying my head in my knees.
