Miami, FL - University of Miami Hospital
Blessing Allure Smith
"Oww" I whined lowly grabbing my head. I opened my eyes feeling something in my hand "you okay?" My dad asked standing up. He looked like he hasn't been to sleep in days, "you okay?" I asked worried making him laugh "I'm just tired" he shook his head "how long we been in here?" I sat up looking around the hospital room, it was full of flowers "three days" he looked away touching his neck "I been here for three days?" I sort of yelled leaning back.
"You weren't doing good, they had to put you in a medically induced coma" he said sitting down on the end of the bed. We sat in silence for a few minutes and I tried to remember everything that happened after we pulled up to drop Leilei off to Lou "is Raii okay? Leilei okay?" I asked looking over at my dad, feeling bad I know he hasn't slept since I've been in here. "Everyone is good, your momma said Raii was high and was acting so crazy your aunt wanted to whoop her ass" he laughed, I chuckled shaking my head "it wasn't her fault" I laughed.
"It wasn't her fault!" I said seriously remembering what happened "what you mean?" He asked "aye, we was sitting outside Lou spot waiting on Leilei and it was getting kinda past the time she was s'posed to be up there so we get out the car and these niggas across the lot hop out on some bum rush shit" I said forreal and laughed at my choice of words.
"So I knocked one of them niggas out cause he tried to grab Raii like ion know man" I huffed. "They had us sniffing coke and shit mad coke and then they just left us" I scrunched my nose up in disgust "and Raii was just off the shit like she was so high" I shook my head "and I don't know I just felt mad as shit this one nigga came in, he started to touch on her and shit so I just lost it and grabbed the box cutter off the table" I put my head in my hands.
I felt a weeping in my soul "listen, you know how many times I had to or your momma had to or any one of us had to do what we had to do? Ain't no shame in protecting somebody you love Blessing that shit over wit na" my father shrugged his shoulders with a mug on his face.
"And I had to take our clothes off cause we were covered in blood and we needed to get out of there but everybody came back to quick and Saint was with them" I whispered the last part shocked "either way they knocked us out and I remember being put in the trunk cause that bitch nigga smacked me and spit on me s-"
"Who saint?" He cut me off "no, some young nigga but he look so familiar I saw him right before they grabbed us he was by Lou spot" I said plainly, making a mental note to ride back around that way with my bag on me.
"And what saint had to do with all this?" He asked "he came in and said that they had to get us the fuck up out of there because they were wrong for bringing us to his place of business" I laughed. My father clenched his jaw, we talked for another hour before I told him that he could go to sleep and he protested but I eventually won.
I looked over, seeing my phone on the charger I grabbed it and texted the group chat.

I closed my phone and turned on my side staring at the flowers until I drifted off to sleep. I snatched the iv from my arm feeling uncomfortable and going back to sleep.
"You got me fucked up" I heard someone yelling. I opened my eyes to a full room. I straightened my face "I'm fucking sleeping" I sucked my teeth.
