Khalisé

"Malik." I called after him but he was already out the door.

The looks on everybody's faces told it all. Vinchi went after Amara, Kiara was no where to be found, Damien was somehow still asleep, Nia has broken all the way down while King and Mr. Williams tried to get everything under control.

I walk out after Malik even though he ignored me. The last thing he needs is to be alone now.

"Malik, wait up." I walked up behind him, grabbing his shoulder but he kept walking.

"Khalisé, I'm good." He sniffed. "Go back inside."

"You actually think imma leave you alone right now?" I asked.

"I'm straight, just go back inside."

"Mal-"

"Khalisé, I said I'm fine!" He turned around, looking at me. He was breathing hard and his face and eyes were bright red.

I just stared at him before pulling him into me, wrapping my arms around him as I rubbed his back.

He leaned into me as he cried, trying to talk to me through his tears. Only thing I was able to hear was "I'm sorry".

"It's okay. I'm right here." I said as he wrapped his arms around me, still crying. This is breaking my heart.

I looked over his shoulder and seen my dad standing behind. He looked at Malik with a sympathetic look in his eyes before looking at me.

I nodded my head as we communicated with our facial expressions before he walked towards the hospital doors.

My eyes got watery when Malik's cries got louder. It was like you could hear and see his heart breaking.

I said a silent prayer to myself for the whole family, but mainly for Jermaine.

Come on, Jermaine, you got this.

My dad and Mr. Williams had already introduced themselves when we came back. Vinchi explained to us that he talked to Amara, but she still wasn't coming out of the bathroom, which makes me wonder did he go into the girls bathroom. Knowing how he is about Amara, he most likely did, but that ain't my business.

"I just want all of this shit to be over, man. I wanna go in there and see my brother sitting up, being his naturally goofy self. That's all." I rubbed Malik's arm as I listened to his words.

"If it's anything that I know? It's that the Andrews kids never give up, and it's been that way since I've met y'all. Jermaine is going to be okay, I have no doubt in that and you shouldn't either." I responded.

"Kiara, are you okay?" I looked up, seeing Nia walk over to Kiara. I stood up, following after Nia.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked Kiara as she held herself up by holding onto the chair. She was breathing hard and you could tell that she was getting weak.

"Nothing." She straightened herself up. "I'm fine."

"What's going on?" Amara's voice filled my ears as she walked up to us, standing on the other side of Kiara.

Kiara started to lean backwards, making Amara rush to grab her. My eyes widen as her breathing got heavier.

"Aye, we need some help over here!" Vinchi said, rushing over to the front desk.

Now everyone was circling Kiara, who had passed out in Amara's arms.

Nurses started to come over after they seen what was going on. Malik and King got her from Amara's arms and helped her to the stretcher that they had brought.

What stopped me in my tracks was the trail of blood that was following after her.

No.

Kiara

A miscarriage.

I was actually having a miscarriage right now.

A miscarriage.

I'm pregnant. No, I was pregnant. A big difference.

The doctors had gotten everything under control in the last 2 hours. I'm settled into a room in a hospital gown.

Ever since I woke up, I've just been sitting here. My mind shifts from me to Jermaine occasionally. All I wanna do is see his face, his smile actually. That would help so much right now.

"Hey sweetheart." One of the nurses said after she walked into my room. She checked my monitor and made sure everything was good.

"Your family has been asking about you." I could feel her eyes on me as I sat there. "Would you like me to bring them in?"

I slowly nodded my head. "Sure."

"Alright." She rubbed my hand before standing up, walking out of my room.

Not even 10 minutes later, I hear running down the hallway and someone saying 'slow down, please'.

The first person I seen was Khalisé, who was followed by Nia and Amara.

"Hey."

"Hey." I responded to Khalisé. Everything went back silent how it was before. I didn't feel like talking. The only person I wanted, no, needed to talk to wasn't even aware of what is going on right now.

I need Jermaine.

I guess I zoned out because all of a sudden I felt arms wrap around me. I looked up to see Amara, who rubbbed my arm up and down.

A tear slipped from my eye while I hugged her back. Khalisé and Nia walked over to us, sitting and standing at the edge of the bed.

My cries got worse when everything actually processed in my head.

Me and Jermaine were gonna have a baby.

He or she would've been my first child.

I lost my first baby....

Malik

This day can not get any worse. God, please don't let this day get any worse.

"Family of Jermaine Andrews?" I looked up to the doctor that was calling out to us. Have I spoken too soon?

Me, King, Vinchi and Mr. Williams walked up to the doctor while Mr. Bridges stayed back to keep Damien distracted.

I shook the doctor's hand. "What's going on?"

He looked between all four of us before clearing his throat.

"Mr. Andrews is out of surgery."
