THE VINCENT ADAMS HOSPITAL|| THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23RD [12:04AM]
"I'm good unuh get her out?" I asked Amir, ripping the vest off and looking down at where the bullet barely hit it.
"Sekani rush wid her gone a hospital, yuh sure yuh good bro yuh block out fi a good 5 minutes eno" Amir asks sporting a worried look on his face.
"The most it ago do a bruise but right now mi need fi make sure seh mi woman good" I tell him and he nods.
It didn't take long for us to reach the hospital, her parents already being there from earlier waiting to hear what was going on.
"Get out! I don't want you anywhere near my daughter, she was almost killed because of you" her mother yells, pummelling me and I block her from hitting me in the face.
"Celine easy yuh self and make the young man explain" Joseph retorts, trying to hold his wife back from hitting me again.
"No this dutty bwoy and him crawsis family is to be blamed, best believe them nah go ever get fi see her again" she continues yelling, creating a scene when we all got distracted by Sekani walking over to us covered in blood.
"Bro yuh get hurt?" I asked inspecting him cause this was an unusual amount of blood.
"Wish that was the case but a nuh mine bro" he tells me and for the first time since I've been introduced to this life by my parents I was filled with nothing but fear.
The fear of losing the one person who embedded themselves within the depths of my very soul.
"She lose nuff blood bro, it nah look good" he whispers stepping closer to me, trying to prevent her parents from hearing.
"Jesas christ! Mi one pickney!" her mother suddenly yells gripping her belly bottom and all hell breaks loose around us.
Doctors and nurses were running amuck throughout the narrow hall we were currently standing in and I rushed over to the room Sekani just exited from.
I could hear the shouts of doctors coming from every angle as chaos wrecked havoc in the small room.
"Hang another unit of blood we need to get this bleeding under control and to an OR now!"
"She's bradying down!"
"Pushing 1.0 mg of atropine! Let's get moving people!"
"She's going to be fine big bro" Avi says holding my hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.
It's been 7 hours since I've been pushed out of that room, 7 hours since she's been in surgery after flatlining.
"Daddy, Sysy?" Azani asked for the third time, stretching his cup towards me and I took it from him.
"Yuh soon get to see Sysy ok" I tell him trying my best to remain optimistic.
