LUCIOUS & COOKIE: TUG OF WAR II (REMASTERED)

WHEN IT ALL FALLS DOWN PT III

"Oh my God Ma, what'd they say. I can't believe this." I frantically spat as we all rushed through the Emergency room doors, and she embraced me. 

"I know baby, I know... they haven't said anything yet, but the nurse went to get one of the doctors from the team that's treating her...I just got here not too long ago myself." Her shaky voice expressed as we all migrated towards the nurse's station in the center of the room.

My palms were sweating, and my heart feels like it's bout to jump outta my chest. Please just let my baby girl be alright, I thought to myself.

Keem stood next to ma, she glanced over at him then started slapping him all over his head and face, "I THOUGHT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT YOUR DAMN HOUSE!" She screamed. 

He hunched over while shuffling around to evade her, but she's right on his heels and landing every single blow as me, dad, Skye, and Dre watched on. 

"WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE DOING AT A PARTY HAKEEM!" Mom raved while throwing punches into Keem's body as he held his forearms up to try and shield himself. "AND A BABY YOU BIG DUMMY...COME HERE IMMA KILL YO ASS!" She shrieked as she caught a fist full of his shirt and tore it as he struggled to move away from her grasp.

"Cookie baby calm down..." Dad uttered as he stepped in between them and grabbed mom by her arms to stop her as Keem jetted across the room to put space between them. 

"GET THE HELL OFF ME LUCIOUS!" She spewed with a frown along her features, she snatched away from him and rolled her eyes, then paced around the floor as dad turned towards Keem. 

"What the hell was she doing at a got damn party Hakeem!" He barked and I'm just as curious.

"LOOK I'M SORRY DAMN!" Hakeem hurled back as his chest rapidly rose and fell, he paced while sweat streamed down his neck. "SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE WHOLE BABY THING IN ARUBA AIGHT... AND SHE USED IT AGAINST ME TO GET OUTTA THE MANSION OKAY!" He heaved through frazzled nerves and winded breaths.

The tension's high, I can't believe my ears at the excuse he gave, "So you just lied for her and let her sneak out? Why not man up and be an adult huh?" I snarled. 

Keem turned to me with water in his eyes and heaving, he could see the disappointment in my eyes because of his selfish and irresponsible decision. "Mal...look, I'm --" He seemed to be in search of the right words, but before he could finish we heard an unfamiliar voice flow from behind us.

"Uh, Excuse Me Folks. Are you all the family of Lola Renae Lyon?" The man probed. 

We all dashed over towards the medium build dark skinned doctor holding a clipboard in hand, "Yes...yes, we are. I'm her father Jamal Lyon and these are her grandparents, my girlfriend, and her uncles." I told him and he shook our hands. I took a deep breath to prepare myself for what was to come.

"Okay, nice to meet you all...I'm Dr. Fort and I'm sure by now, you're well aware that your daughter was in a very serious automobile accident last night, correct?" He asked. 

"Yes sir I am." I replied.

"The EMT's brought her and her friend in around about 10:30 and they've both suffered a wide rang of extremely severe injuries."  A lump began swelling in my throat as Ma slid her hand into mine, the doctor flipped a few pages on the clip board then looked back towards us before continuing. 

"Miss. Lyon and her friend Mr. Wallace..." He started, "Mr. Wallace?" I asked then felt my mother clench my hand and sigh.

"Uh yes," He looked down at the paperwork once again, "Yes. 17-year-old Bishop Giovanni Wallace." He revealed and I felt like I wanted to scream because I knew that she'd been trying to talk to that little son of a bitch, but I thought I had that situation under control.
