Episode.

Celest twisted and turned on the bed, trying to get in a comfortable spot. He wasn't there to comfort her. Kevaun would wrap his arms around her waist, rub her cheek with his thump for both his and her comfort but he was gone and she had no clue where.

She sighed then attemps to call him again, but for the fourth time, no answer. She was getting frustrated but she couldn't do anything else but call until he picked up.

"A me mek him nuh deh yah eno," She mumbled then hissed. She then went to her best friend chat, telling her everything that happened a few hours ago.

-the argument and that he left without saying anything.

Not even one likkle 'mi soon come back' di bwoy gi mi

The conversation between Lila and Celest ended, as soon as she received a call from an unknown number. She didn't know who it was but she still answered.

"Hello,"

"Celest! a brandon. Kev just get shot bredda and him nah breathe!"-

She froze.

Celest felt as if someone stabbed her in the stomach. She couldn't speak, nor did she even hear what else Brandon had to say.

A tear fell from her eyes, as she stared out of space.

"Bomboclaatt mon! Drive fucking faster nuh ute,"

"H-him a breathe?"

"Fuck! Just hurry up!"

"Which hospital?" Celest finally asked and he answered. Without even thinking, she ran downstairs, grabbed one of his car keys and drive straight to Spanish Town Hospital.

She didn't care about anything at the moment- her safety, the way how she looked, nothing. All that mattered was her man and she had to be where he was.

Crying in the car as she drove, she prayed over and over- asking God to spare his life. The man that made her happy. He made her feel loved and she couldn't lose him.

She wasn't gonna lose him.

"Please God, please! Give him strength. I'm begging you to not let him die," she sobbed.

About five minutes passed and she was running inside the building. She spotted Brandon and immediately went over to where he was.

"W-where is he?" That's the first thing that came out of her mouth.

"Dem just rush him in a one room. Mi nuh know a wah dem a do eno but only thing them seh a dat dem ago do whatever dem have to fi mek him live," He said.

"Which paa him get shot?"

"Two in a him side and another in a him shoulder," He told her.

You can tell he was crying. His eyes were red and baggy, similar to how Celest's looked. She nodded then hugged him.

A bright light met her when she opened her eyes. Brandon sat next to her, typing on his phone.

"Any updates?"

He looked at her. "Dem seh him a breathe now and him a do okay but him a sleep fi bout 5 hour now,"

She was relieved and thankful that he was ok.

"Thank you God," She said then smiled. "We can guh see him?"

"Ye man, aunty Trudy already in a di room," She nodded then went inside.

'He looks so peaceful' She thought. Her eyes turned to Kevaun's mother, who is sitting on a chair that's close to the hospital bed. They have never met before but Miss Trudy knew about Celest.

"Hi, good night," Celest greeted the woman. She showed a small smile.

"Good night, you're Celest, right?" She nodded. Pleased to finally see the lady his son is dating, Miss Trudy smiled.

"Mi name Trudy. It is really nice to meet you mi baby,"

"It's nice to meet you too Miss Trudy,"-

"No no baby. Mi nah nuh gray hair and mi nuh old suh just call mi Grantie," She said and Celest giggled. She already liked her.

Celest attention then turned to her man. She was hoping he'd wake up soon so she'd get to speak to him. She was curious to know what happened. Within the months that they have been together, Celest knew that Kevaun was mixed in some bad stuff but she didn't know what.

-but she wasn't sure, until today. Mi nah stop until him tell mi everything eno

"Come sit here suh,"-

"You look scared, wahm to yuh?" Miss Grantie asked. Celest sighed, taking her eyes off of him.

"I am. Scared for him. Wah him coulda do or get him self in a fi mek them do this," She said.

Trudy exhaled loudly. "Bwoy... I don't even know what happened for him to be in this situation but mi know seh Kev is a strong bwoy and anything him in a weh him nuh waah in a, he'll surely get out of it some way so don't worry. He's gonna be fine. Just pray fi him baby,"

"I will," Celest said then she whispered a small prayer in her mind.
