A Dancehall Story: Book 7

Chapters 38- Things Lost in The Fire

Stacy's POV

"Stacy the salon is on fire"

Were some of the last words I could remember before I work up in the hospital.

Flash back

"He came here?" I asked Mel

She and Joan were sitting in the holding area. Joan was crying and Mel was doing her best to comfort her.

"Yes, he left a good while now. You didn't see him?" She asked.

"No, I heard he was at the salon, spoke with the electrician but I never saw him" I said.

This was really strange because he didn't call me or send a message either.

What the hell are you doing Garrick?

"Well he left his father's house to come see you at the salon" Mel said.

I went to sit beside them and took aunt Joan in my arms.

"How is he Mel?" I asked.

She knew I was talking about Senior.

She shook her head and I knew what that meant.

"We just have to prepare ourselves for what's to come. I'm taking Joan to see him tomorrow.  You should come." She said.

I was scared of going there and seeing Line.

"I don't know Mel, I'm scared out of my mind right now" I said.

"Don't be, just come with me. You will be alright" She said.

"I'm going to check on the kids. Stephanie came for Love and Queen wasn't happy about it so I'm going to stay with her" Aunt Joan said.

I felt for her because she was losing her brother and there was nothing she could do to help him.

"Mel I think you should go get some rest because you are stressing your nurse out" I said.

I could see her nurse checking her watch every minute and biting her nails.

Mel chuckled.

"That's true and she is such a sweet girl" She said.

She gave me a hug then went to her room, her nurse told me good night as she followed her.

When I got back to my room I walked back to the closet and put one of his shirt on just so I could smell him.

Tricia's Chat

Me: Hey, what you think we should do about the salon right now?

Tricia: We can send out an announcement that we will be opening until mid day and only take important appointments.

Me: Ok do something quick and post it on the website and on Instagram for me please.

Tricia: Ok. Harry said they gas the generator and two guys were helping him but he had left them to get some things they asked for.

Me: Alright. I hope they can be done soon.  That's my big baby right there and I just want it to be alright.

Tricia: I know mama. Going to deal with the announcement now.

Me: Alright. I'm going to get some sleep.

Tricia: alright.

I placed the phone on vibrate and put it under my pillow.

Crying was what put me to sleep.

****

I felt my head shaking rapidly and that's how I jump out of my sleep. My tshirt was soaking wet.
