When I wake up I'm in a hospital room Tre to my right and my brother to my left.
"Kick them out." I turn to the nurse a pleading look on my face. She politely asks them to leave they were hesitant but after the nurse threatened to call security they left.
"Is Dr. Ahmed here?" She looks down at my stomach then up and me.
"I'll check." She leaves the room locking it with a key.
Tre is glaring at me through the crack in the blinds but I don't care, if there's a way for me to get out of here faster I'll take it and when I'm gone I don't care who he shows his lil tape to.
"My friend." Dr. Ahmed greets as the nurse lets him in the room. "Your pressure is way too high for the condition you're in." He scolds as he looks over my chart. "I'll push for you to be kept overnight you have an appointment with me tomorrow anyway." He comes over and raises my shirt.
"I need stuff from home but those guys..." I looked over at my brother sighing, out of the two I'll only trust my brother.
"I have a son around your age I think you went to school together he's here right now nagging me about this stupid American football if you want I'll ask him a favor." I nod my head willing to put faith in a stranger over those two dickheads.
Dr. Ahmed took his phone and texted.
"He says he knows who you are." Dr. Ahmed snorts, I can tell his son said more than that but I don't care.
After some time the nurse goes over to unlock the door and let in Dr. Ahmed son my eyes widened when I saw who it is, Nasir that guy is an absolute piece of shit how did my sweet ole doctor end up with a son like that?
"Hello." Nasir smiles smacking me upside the head, his father kicks him.
"Go get some stuff from home for him he needs to stay overnight." Nasir turned to look at me eyebrow raised.
"Your brother and boyfriend are out there." He pointed.
"I can't trust my brother and Tre isn't my boyfriend." Nasir smiles at the mention of Tre not being my boyfriend anymore, weird.
"Finally." He claps his hands. "What do you need my fine friend?" I watch as he open the notes app, imagine having bad memory at such a young age probably all that Haram he be smoking.
"My phone, laptop, AirPods, the chargers, a change of clothes and some hygiene stuff." Nasir nods along.
"I be back." He shoves his father then tries to escape but Dr. Ahmed is quicker than he looks, the two disappear out into the hallway arguing in Arabic about whatever.
"I'll be back to check on you later dear." The nurse fluffs my pillow gives me another blanket then leaves locking the door behind her.
I watch as my brother holds his phone up to the crack in the window showing he's been trying to call me I mouth I don't have my phone and he rolls his eyes, my brother and Tre talk for a bit before waving goodbye to me.
I really hate how casual they're being knowing they're shitty people, before I knew they were shit people I adored them not anymore.
With no one around to keep me focused I allow myself to dose off, whenever Nasir gets back he'll wake me I guess.
And he did, I just closed my fucking eyes. Nasir laughs as I glare up at him but I'm not amused I probably would've slept so good if he didn't wake me up, something about how silent hospitals are at night makes me sleep along with the constant beeping in the background.
"Quick question before I leave." Nasir plugs in all my devices for me which I appreciate.
"What?" I sit up.
"Why do you have a drawer full of panties?" Shit, I forgot.
"Why do you think your dad is my doctor?" I never again wanted to trust anyone with my secret, but what do I do in a situation like this?
"Oh word?" He looks down then back up at me. "My mom is a doctor out in Bagatelle she specializes with guys like you." That's good news, great news actually.
"Thanks for telling me that." He looks at me confused.
"You're leaving?" He whispers which makes me laugh.
"Why are you being nice to me?" I suddenly remember Nasir's reputation and how he got it.
"This ain't high school anymore man I had to make a change." He shrugs.
"One more question?" He raises a brow. "Did you know Tre was cheating on me?" Nasir now looks uncomfortable.
"Unfortunately everybody but you knew." This caused me even more pain, I didn't want to cry especially in front of him but the tears just came.
Nasir held me as I bawled and babbled about how betrayed I felt by Tre and my brother, he rubbed soothing circles on my lower back humming his agreement or disagreement whenever I asked a painful question, I then went on about Tre beating me the pregnancy and my plans to run away.
"You never had it easy huh." He whispers against my hair. "I'll be there for you if you want me to, my mom would be willing to help out, I'll help you move..." He sighs. "Whatever you need man we used to be friends before you disappeared and reappeared on Tre dick." I smile remembering our friendship that consisted of him picking on me.
Nasir and I laid there catching up on missed years, I felt like absolute shit for cutting him off and not just him a lot of my childhood friends but I feel like my reasoning is valid.
