"Whitney has been shot"

After I heard those words, it's like everything around me became blurry. My knees instantly got weak and my stomach was turning. I knew I had to be there for her regardless of our situation. Regardless of anything that had happened, I know she needs me.

"Here get him." I said to Ashlyn turning around to put him in her arms.

"I thought you said you were going to spend time with your son?" She questioned me raising her eyebrow.

"Look, I got somewhere to be right now. I'll be back tomorrow to see him." I said turning to go out of the door.

"Oh, my shift is over and now you gotta run to that other bitch. That's cool I understand." She said sitting down on the recliner that was beside the baby crib.

My blood immediately began to boil at her words. I slammed the door shut and I heard her gasp. I turned around and almost leaped over to where she was.

"Who the fuck are you talking to Ashlyn?" I said grabbing her arm, making her stand up.

"I thought I told your ass earlier that you won't be disrespecting me in my fucking house that I bought your dumb ass to raise my son in??"

"Amarquis your hurting m-" she said just above a whisper with tears coming out of her eyes.

"Shut the fuck up, I'm not done. That's your problem you talk to fucking much! One, she is not a bitch, she is the mother of my two kids on the way and quite frankly whether you like it or not you are going to respect her place in my life. Two, Bitch you were nothing but a convenient side piece that I used from time to time. Nothing more. You should know your place and play your role. You had my first child and that's it.. Nothing more." I yelled throwing her arm down, shaking her causing the baby to wake up.

"Now if we have this discussion again then I'm gone fuck some shit up. Play with me if you want to." I said walking out of the room.

As I walked out, I heard her crying and my son crying. I know I was mean asf but she needed to know that I'm gone be respected at all causes. No questions asked.

I grabbed my keys out of my pockets and unlocked my doors. I got in and rushed to the hospital.

I opened my eyes and all I heard was beeping.

I looked around the room and saw Lauren, Tete, Shawn, Joy, and Amarquis. They were all watching some old sitcom on the television.

"Ooh what happened?" I asked grabbing my head in pain.

"She's awake! Shawn get the nurse!"

Shawn raced out of the door and down the hall.

"I gotta get ready for church." I said trying to get up, but stopped when I noticed the IV in my arm. "Where am I?" I screamed.

"Shhhh, you're fine. You're in the hospital. You've been here since Saturday." Lauren answered.

"Then what's today??" I asked looking around the pale room.

"Today is Wednesday" Tete said putting his phone done.

Everyone else rushed to my side.

"Are you okay?"
