Siriyah

It had been three days, and Jeremiah has still yet to wake up. Everyone was in and out his room just waiting for him to wake up, Siriyah hadn't left his side.

She barely got sleep because she was trying to watch him, she had circles under her eyes. She had yet to shower not wanting to miss him waking up, and some of the reason she did this was because she blamed herself. She should have never agreed with Lester's plan, she was realizing she was falling in love with him but she couldn't believe she already had.

She was wondering why she was feeling so depressed with him not being awake, not wanting to eat because she knew he wasn't. Sometimes she couldn't breathe thinking of him dying, and it being her fault she didn't know what she would do.

She needed him to wake up.

Siriyah quickly turned around when she heard the door open, In walked the doctor and Brooklyn. He came to do his daily checkup and Brooklyn came for Siriyah.

"Common siriyah"Immediately Siriyah shook her head no.

"No, for what?"Brooklyn sighed.

"You need a shower some food, you can't just stay here this long. Your hurting your own body"Siriyah looked back at his body, glancing at his greased lips thanks to her and shook her head.

"I can't leave him Brooklyn"She spoke looking back at Brooklyn who only shook her head.

"You'll be right back Siriyah, you really want him ta wake up seeing you look like this? Ion think he'll like what he sees"Brooklyn said chuckling and Siriyah smiled nodding before standing up.

"You can take a shower get some food then get right back in here"At that Siriyah nodded and followed Brooklyn out the room. She followed Brooklyn to a room where clothes, toothbrush and hair products were left on the bed.

"This is his room so know one will bother you, the bathroom it right there"Brooklyn pointed to a door in the room and Siriyah nodded, Brooklyn then turned around and left.

Siriyah sighed before grabbing all the stuff and heading to the bathroom, she wanted to do this fast and get back ta him.

Siriyah finished washing the conditioner out her hair and stepped out the shower. She wrapped a towel around her head and body and got out, she walked to the sink and started brushing her teeth. After she finished she put on the pajama set Brooklyn gave her.

She walked into the room while brushing her hair, and when she walked out she saw a plate on the dresser with food. She took a deep breath then sat on the bed grabbing the plate, she then ate some.

She kept thinking about what she was gonna do, Terrence had told her she had to tell him and as much as she wanted him awake she was scared of how he would react. Telling him she was the one who got him shot, that she got his friend shot. She was more afraid of him hating her then killing her.

She didn't know what she would do.

Siriyah stood up off the bed only eating a little food, but it was enough. She put her hair in a slick back ponytail before making her way back to his room, she got to the door and heard talking but she assumed it was Brooklyn and them.

She opened the door and was greeted with Brooklyn, messiah kj and a woman. She was older, she had brown hair but her grey hair was showing. She was slim, brown skin, brown eyes, long hair, she was beautiful. I knew who she was only seeing her face, cause she resembled him so much.

All eyes went to siriyah when she stepped in, the woman wiped her eye as a tear fell.

"Siriyah this is Jeremiahs mom janella"Siriyah nodded tho she wanted to smile at her she didn't, smiling wasn't something she could do right now.

"It's nice to meet you"Siriyah spoke and janella nodded. Brooklyn then turned towards messiah then Siriyah.

"Ok we were gonna leave and give her some time with him Siriyah, maybe you can come back in when she's finished"Siriyah nodded at her words, she understood. Everyone started walking before Janella spoke.

"Actually she can stay if she wants, I don't mind the company"Janella spoke and Siriyah wanted to but she had to be sure.

"Are you sure?"She asked and she nodded, Brooklyn nodded before her and messiah walked out while Siriyah walked further in taking a seat on a chair.

She sat quietly and watched as Janella sat over Jeremiah just looking at him, she finally looked up but Siriyah was looking at him. Janella smiled.

"You're Siriyah?"At that Siriyah looked up at the women, confused she still nodded it was her name.

"Yes, may I ask how you know?"

"Jeremiah told me all about you"Janella said smiling, and this time Siriyah nodded and gave a small smile. Siriyah was now feeling bad, her mind just kept thinking of all her lies.

"I'm sorry you had to come here, with your son in this condition"Siriyah spoke and Janella nodded appreciating it. But as she stared at the girl, and how her eyes kept flickering towards her son with that look she knew how Siriyah felt for him. It was the same way she looked at Jeremiah's father.

"You care for him"Janella spoke, it was more of a statement. Siriyah looked up at her before nodding looking back at him.

"I do"

"Are you two together yet?"She asked and that made Siriyah chuckle, she didn't know what they were. But she knew they wouldn't be anything once he found out the truth.

"No"She spoke her voice cracking and janella just stared at the girl. The way her son talked she knew she was the one, and the way she was looking at him he was the one for her. There was only one question left.

"Do you love him?"

Siriyah was caught of guard, but even tho she still knew the truth. The way she was feeling, the pain she felt In her heart for the chance of him dying.

"I think I do, and I'm afraid"She spoke a tear falling.

"C'mere"Siriyah nodded standing up and walking over towards janella, she sat in a chair next to her. Janella grabbed her hands and held them in hers, she looked Siriyah in the eyes and Siriyah did the same.

"Don't be afraid, you love him and thats extraordinary because love is hard to find. Don't fear him not waking up, because he will. My son is a fighter and he'll never stop being one, when he wakes tell him how you feel and don't give up on him. You hear me?"This is what Siriyah needed, but she didn't know if janella would feel this way if she knew she was the reason for Jeremiah getting shot.

"Yes"

"Ok, now let's pray"
