" Donteria wake up, wake up Donteria! " Khalid shook me from my sleep." your soaked baby, get up " I was drenched in sweat from head to toe. It appeared that I was having a nightmare.
My chest heaved up and down, as my breathing began to rapid faster and faster.
" baby what's wrong? " Khalid asked, as he wrapped his arms around me.
" I thought you where dead? " I cried, as he tried comforting me.
" I'm here with you baby, always and forever. I'm not ever going to leave you, because I love you " he assured me, as I held onto him.
" come on let's get you cleaned up mamas " he said, as he tapped my thigh.
I walked in the bathroom stripping from my soaked clothes. It was to almost felt like I peed on my self, how much sweat was drenching from my body.
Getting in the shower, I turned the water on setting it to my preferred temperature. I then grabbed my rag and the dove soap, adding a squirt to it.
I washed my body throughly, before turning the water off and drying off. I wrapped the towel around my body, as I walked out of the bathroom.
Khalid stood by the window looking out of it starring into the unknown.
" Khalid baby are you okay? " I asked, as I walked over towards him to see what had his attention.
His focus never left the window until I wrapped my arms around his waist.
" no matter what, I'll always love you Donteria" was all I heard before seeing him disappear into the dust.
" baby wake up " mama shook me from my sleep.
" where's Khalid? " I panicked, as I sat up in her bed grabbing my chest.
" ma I could've sworn he was just here, then he like disappeared or something now I don't-
" baby you where dreaming " ma assured me, as she sat on the bed rubbing my back.
" ma what? " I cried, as she pulled me closer to her. " he just told me he loved me and then disappeared " I was confused, it was like I was living in deja vu.
"Baby no, Khalid must've came to visit you in your dream. He's just letting you know he's okay now " mama told me, as I grew more emotional.
I felt his presence within me. I just knew I wasn't dreaming and he'd be out here living foreal, but that was until he disappeared in my dream.
The connection felt so real, I wanted to sleep more and more every day just to talk to him, But mama says it doesn't happen like that. She told me that i was gone to have to let Khalid rest, and live my earthly life until God called me home.
It didn't stop me though, I was determined to talk to Khalid again. I wanted to know his story, I wanted to know what happened.
Many told me and others that Khalid and Loyd had gotten it out over some dumb stuff, but I didn't believe it. Although Loyd was locked up for second degree murder, but it was targeted for the other person that got shot.
Khalid's family was notified about his death, soon after the police talked to me the other day at the Hutchersons.
They gave me his phone after the found out some information to bust a couple of more dealers. All there was in his contacts left were, his brother sister, mother and I .
The officers pressured me into making the call, even though I told them I hardly even knew his people.
I explained to Khalid's brother, that he has been shot and killed in an tragic incident and that they would like to get information for services for him.
The brother was torn by the situation, he'd just lost his grandfather just to turn around to lose his big brother. Not to mention pa hasn't even had a funeral yet.
The norther was also token away by it, she recalled there last phone call she was arguing with him, she was so heart broken by her actions which caused her to go back to drinking after being sober for twelve years.
Khalid's sister was also heart broken. She couldn't believe her brother was gone, the one who practically raised her before moving to Atlanta . It was such an emotional day, for all no one could bare the pain off what happened it was miserable.
" Recce is here to talk to you " Mrs. hutcherson said, as she came up the stairs entering my mothers room.
Whitney decided to stay with us for a few nights to help my mother out with the twins, while also trying to comfort me.
Tyra and Tyren took turns watching Tyla when they didn't have to work.
" tell her she can come in " I said lowly.
Reece came in smiled at mom and I, before sitting beside me on the bed.
" hey Don, I came to check on ya " she said, as she tapped my thigh. " how you holding up? "
Shaking my head, I felt as the tears threaten to slip out once again. I let out a breath before saying, " I'm still here " I shrugged, as I sighed.
" I'll leave you too " mama said, as she got up from the bed exiting the bedroom.
" just wanna know what happens to my boy " I told her, as she nodded her head.
" I understand that don, and when they time come I'll tell you, but right now you got some healing to do " Reece said, as my attention shifted towards her.
" what do you mean? " I asked her confusingly.
" Donteria, I was there when it happened. So I know everything "
