Her Last

Chapter Twenty-One

Leron "Reign" King

I sat in the waiting room, zoned out and bouncing my legs. I blamed myself. I shouldn't have told her. That wasn't the time to tell her.

Auntie Jackie rubbed my back and reassured me.

"They gon be okay, baby."

"Yo dumbass just had to run yo mouth. You just had to tell her." I mentally berated myself.

The doors opened and my head shot up.

He shook our hands and introduced himself.

"Miss King needed an emergency c-section. The trauma from the fall was too much on the baby so we needed to get him out of there. She is in stable condition..." he hesitated. "However, he is in the NICU. He had a few complications on the way out."

Auntie Jackie wailed.

I shook my head, wishing all this drama never happened. Wishing it was all a dream.

"We expect a full recovery for your daughter ma'am, but we need to keep an eye on the infant as of right now."

I continued to shake my head.

"Both of you are free to visit her, but she's asked that nobody see the baby before she does."

Tiana King

Mommy sat down in the chair beside my bed and held my hand.

"Where's Leron?" I asked with a blank expression.

"He's not ready to come in yet, pumpkin."

"I don't care. Bring him in."

I blamed him for this. I was so bitter at him for putting my child in harms way. I was thinking irrationally, but I didn't care.

A few minutes later he strolled in and she followed closely behind.

"Leave, mommy." I calmly damanded.

She left and closed the door.

"Tell me everything you know."

"Tiana... Now ain't the time for this, ight? You in the ho-"

"Only reason I'm here, Leron, is cause of what you told me." I snapped. "You know my baby came outta me blue?"

His eyes widened.

"Wasn't breathing." I choked up. "He ain't cry or nothin. I ain't even hold him yet, barely even saw him. Cause you couldn't hold your fuckin tongue."

"I'm so sorry Ti. You know I am." He said, sounding defeated.

"Tell me everything."

Janet Parker

"And by the time you hear this song
I'm gon' be longer than gone
Forever in your heart, always in your mind
Stuck in your thoughts, a mountain you can't cross
Uh, never get over me, I won't let you
Never get over me, I know
Never get over me, I know that you'll never, you'll never"

"Ouuu shit this nigga spittin."

I sang along with Rod Wave as I headed towards the location that J had been at everyday for the past week.

I put an AirTag on his car just to see if he was still fuckin around.

I felt sick to my stomach realizing he went to the same place for at least an hour every night.

My plan was to shoot up the place.

I drove pass the only house in the culdesac of untouched land in my rental car and immediately peeped the cameras.

I shot them out.

I parked in a empty lot and made my way to the house.

"This busted ass house." I muttered.

I banged on the door, "Open up, hoe!"

I walked around banging on windows with my Glock and shooting any camera I saw until I heard faint shouting.

"JANET?" Came a familiar voice.

"The fuck?" I whispered.

"HOW THE FUCK YOU KNOW MY NAME?" I yelled back.

"JANET OPEN THE DOOR!"

"WHO THE FUCK IS YOU?"

"ITS KEN! OPEN UP."

"Kendrick?" I thought.

I kicked the front door in a few times before it finally gave way.

"JANET?" He shouted again.

My heart raced when I realized it might actually be him.

"I'M IN. WHERE ARE YOU?"

"TO YA RIGHT. THAT HALLWAY. ALL THE WAY DOWN. LAST DOOR ON THE LEFT."

I approached the door and knocked on it. My hands were shaking.

"Kendrick?"

"Janet can you get inside?"

I started to panick.

"No there's hella locks and shit. What's going on?"

Kendrick "Blacks" Franklin

In that moment I caught myself. I was so excited to hear someone other than Josiah and that whiny ass bitch, that I forgot this could be a set up.

"How I know he ain't out you up to this?"

I heard a gasp, "J... J did this?"

"But you knew that already, right?" I assumed.

"Ken..." she sniffled. "I came here cause I thought this where J was coming to cheat on me."

I stayed silent.

"Deadass. After that nurse bitch came and told me he was fuckin with her I put a tracker on his car. I only came up here cause he would be here for hella long every night."

I looked at the nurse bitch in question. Her eyes were wide.

I sighed. What did I have to lose.

"So you can't get in?"

"I can't. I swear."

"Ight... gimme 5 minutes to write a note. I need you to give it to Ti."

"Yes. Of course."

Wasting no time I ripped a page out of my book and started writing.

Tiana,
Baby love, I miss you so much. I'm still here. Don't worry about me. I'll be home soon. I can't wait to see you and our baby. I love you <3 -Ken

I flipped the page over

FOR LERON:
Get lo from Janet. Kill J. Get me.

I slipped it under the door.

"Go before he see you."

"I gotta get you outta here." She cried.

"Janet, you needa leave. Imma be straight."

"But, Ken-"

"Janet please. Don't tell him bout this. Just leave."

I heard more sniffling.

"Thank you, but I need you to go. Save yaself."

With that I heard her running away.

I sat at my desk and cried.
