Never Surrender to the streets

chap 16

Sienna

It was 3:00 am when I got a phone call from Taz all frantic, talking about I needed to get up and out of bed. 

Wait taz. Shut up for a minute, then slow down, please.

"Okay. Girl, I heard that somebody did a drive-by on Keisha."

Who got shot, taz??!.

"Girl, I heard someone in the pool hall one of the people who got shot. Maybe naheim deadbeat no good ass was one of the men who got shot. They had one of them laid out on the ground covered in a white sheet. Word is he got shot right in the head".

Oh my god ! Taz I am going to have to call you back. I started to go into full panic mode.   Istarted to frantically get dressed. I had put on some tights. Brushed my hair into a messy bun. I threw on a pair of moccasins and grabbed my Louis Vuitton bag filled with my phone & keys. I locked the house up. I drove around to Keisha looking for Xavier. I noticed his car was still there. I saw a body covered with a white sheet. I couldn't help but drop to my feet. All I could think about was the worst. I couldn't believe Xavier was gone just like that. 

Yeah, I was pissed at him for having girls not in their place . but damn, just to lose him like that without saying how I really felt. I covered my face so no one could see me crying. It was like the stone broke the dam. I broke down and dropped to my knees sobbing hard. I couldn't believe the man I was in love with was killed. my chest started to ache. 

I felt someone hands on my shoulder. I turned around to see Nahiem holding his shoulder.

"Why are you crying?".

I look at him, confused. Tell me that isn't that Xavier under there. I say as I point to the body that's being put inside the black body bag.

"Nah, he's in the hospital." He got rushed to saint joseph hospital. ".

I cleaned my face off, then unlocked Xavier's car with the spare I had inside the car. I grabbed his duffle and then locked it back to put the duffle inside my car. I drove like a bat of hell. I was speeding to the hospital; when I tell you I was speeding I was speeding. I ran through six red lights to finally get to the hospital. I left the duffle underneath my seat and then walked inside towards the desk. 

Hello, my name is Sienna Wilson I'm looking for Xavier Wilson. I lied to the receptionist. I knew for a fact that they wouldn't allow me to see him unless I was family since he was a victim of a crime. I remembered this from when i tried to visit my brother in the hospital when he was murdered.

"Okay, we need you to fill out these papers saying you have insurance and then we will bring you in the back to see him after he gets out of surgery".

Nodding my head slowly. I started to take everything in . I was overwhelmed by the thoughts of what if xavier needs therapy, or he cannot walk ever again, or even worst he doesn't make it through the surgery . Wipping away my tears, i had to remember why i needed to be strong . I needed to be strong for my children and not just for them but myself.

 I sat down to fill out the papers by calling his sister Jada; once I was done, I handed the lady the paperwork. I was sitting with hands over my face when I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Jada crying. She looked like hell too. I mean, the girl just lost her boyfriend. Now I am about to find out if I will lose my children's father.

"Xavier is going to be okay, sissy; he's a fighter. He never let anything keep him down". said jada

I don't know, Jada. It was a lot of blood by his truck.

"Don't talk like that. I know my brother he's going to make it. When he makes a full recovery he is going to raise hell for all to pay. ".

I pick my head up out of my hands to see the doctor walking towards me.

"Mrs. Wilson, your husband is now in stable condition, you can see him now. But keep in mind the fact he's not conscious".

We walk to his hospital room to see him with tubes running out of his and nose to help him breathe. Looking at him lying there just helpless just drove me crazy. I felt like I wanted to get revenge for him. I want everyone to feel what I'm feeling looking at Xavier. My hands were trembling from my thoughts of anger, sadness, and regret. But I remembered that Josiah was still at his mom's house, so I had to call her.

Hello ?.

"Hello daughter.. what are you doing calling at this time in the morning?".

Mama Dom, I need you to keep Josiah longer. Xavier has been in an accident and I don't want Josiah seeing him like this. Please Mom keep him a little bit longer.

"OH MY GOD, NOT MY BABY. LORD PLEASE LET MY SON LIVE. LORD PLEASE LET MY SON LIVE" she shouted into the phone. 

in between her screaming and crying she said "Sienna please don't leave my baby. He's my only son. He doesn't like to be all alone. Please stay with my baby."

Hearing her break down over the phone , only made me hit my breaking point too. Ima be right by his side mama dom.

I love you, mom.

"I love you too Sienna".

Bye. I hang up the phone to hold Xavier's hand. Damn, I had been crying all day, you would think I would run out of tears by now but nope. Tears started filling my eyes once again. Xavier, you better wake up. I am not playing with you, don't die on me. God, please don't leave me, jo, and our beautiful twins. I really do need you, Xavier. I love you. I drop my head in sadness. When I hear this soft voice.

"i-I told you everything would be alright". He said while trying to crack one of his wicked smirks.

I looked up at him. I wanted to smack the hell out of him for scaring me. Please don't scare me like that ever again. He tries to rub his hand on my stomach. Baby don't worry about the business I'll handle it.

He looks at me. "n-n-No Nahiem is going to handle it".

No. The decision is final. The truth is, I knew how to run the business since I watched Rihmeek all the time. I'll only run the business until you are able to do it yourself. I'll even have Nahiem with me all the time. I move closer to him to kiss his lips. He finally nods his head to agree. Good.

"w-w-where is Jojo?".

He's with your mom. I'll tell you the story another day. What I need from you is for you to feel better. I'll get some guards to watch you while I go to work. I blow him a kiss then leave out the room. Nine am came fast as I sat there watching my better half lie there in that hospital bed. I didn't feel like going to work. 

Truthfully I felt like I needed to be right by his side. sighing I had decided it would be best that I out my dreams on hold until it was safe for my little growing family to be around the city. I didn't want xavier out of my sight or my son until this sick bastard was caught. I spent the next few days at the hospital with xavier. Until it was time for him to be released.I was hoping life would slow down for us. However,being as far along as I was life couldn't have slowed down even if I wanted it to.  I asked the movers to move my stuff back into Xavier's house. Then I went to go pick Jojo up from mama dom's house. I knock on the door. She opened the door.

"Hey, look Jojo it's your mom". she said while smiling.

Hi mom. Where's my little man at?

"Mommy!, I missed you and Daddy".

Well honey I missed you too, go get your bag so we can go see daddy. I kiss my mom goodbye then buckle Jojo car seat in my Bentley. We drove to the hospital to put Xavier in the passenger side. It was finally time for us to go home as a family. I pulled up into our driveway then lock the gate back. Xavier made sure his family was protected at all times. We had guards by the gates, no one was getting in or out without passing the guards. I told jo to go play in his room while I helped Xavier to our bedroom.

"You know I love you, Sienna". He said while looking into my eyes.

I love you too Xavier.
