Love & Basketball

Chapter 22

(A/N: ask and you shall receive 🥲)

"I told you plenty of times that I didn't want you to be around that bitch!" Angel yelled while she paced back and forth in front of me.

As soon as I stepped through the door she immediately started running her mouth. I just sat down on the couch completely ignoring her. I'm getting tired of this shit.

I'm trying to be understanding but I don't see what her problem is with India. I tried really hard to think aboutit maybe I missed something and I'm not seeing what the issue is , India hasn't done anything to me that would jeopardize my relationship.

It's honestly giving Angels just being jealous Angel.. once again.

"Then you got the nerve to be playing your music around the bitch like she Beyoncé and you Jay-Z fuck out of here with that bullshit." Angel said waving her hands around dramatically. I had to cover my face to hide the fact that I was laughing because I'm not gone lie that was a little funny she ate that.

She paused. "Oh you think shit funny?" She asked with her arms crossed. I stopped laughing and just stared at her cause she ain't talking to me.

"No.. oh okay that's what I thought." she said and continued to pace and rant. The more she talked the more I started to zone out until she said something that snapped me back to reality.

"You would've thought the bitch learned her lesson after getting her ass beat the first time but nope I guess not she better hope I don't spin the block on her ass." She snapped aggressively, I stood up and stepped in her face.

"Wait run that by me again.. you did what to who?" I asked her and evidently my question caught her off guard because now she was on hush mode. She had so much to say before why she ain't talking now. I know she didn't fight who I think she did because that couldn't be true. India didn't fight her she was in a car accident.. right.

"Angel.. please tell me you did not go out your way and fight that girl for nothing." I hissed looking at her in disbelief. She rolled her eyes and smacked her lips.

"It wasn't for nothing that bitch had it coming she shouldn't have been trying to get-." I cut her off before she could finished and stepped closer to her invading her space.

"She wasn't trying to do shit what the fuck is wrong with you! You can't just go around putting your hands on people just because you think you can. I told you plenty of times that me and her didn't have anything going on that is MY FRIEND. That shit you pulled was unnecessary as fuck. If you don't trust me then just say that cause that's what it seems like to me." I yelled in her face feeling angry at the fact that she really beat that girl ass and because India lied to me about being in a car accident. That shit is not cool.. at all and I won't condone it either.

"I never said I didn't trust you but seeing as how you so quick to defend the bitch maybe you do like the bitch." She said pushing me away from her aggressively. I grabbed her arm in a tight grip with a mug on my face. She winced trying to pull her arm away from but I wasn't letting up.

"Don't put your mother fucking hands on me Angel remember what happened last time. I'm not playing with you this time so you need to chill the fuck out before it gets real domestic in this bitch." I said before letting her go and stepping back out her face. I'm not the type to put my hands on women but I know Angel and she don't mind. I just want answers and I'm going to get them.

"Angel you went too far this time." I took a deep breath I could already feel myself getting a headache. I'm not in the mood to deal with this shit.

"I went too far..? Why because I beat up your little side bitch." She snapped trying to get in my face. I scoffed at her and walked towards the table to grab my car keys. Before I could grab them she snatched the keys off the table.

"Bruh give me my keys I'm leaving." I said feeling exhausted and extremely overwhelmed. The best thing for me to do is to separate myself from this situation.

"You're not going anywhere we are going to talk about this or wait let me guess you want to go see your bitch? Is that what you want to do." She said squinting her eyes at me. I closed my eyes counting backwards from ten to keep myself calm. It was taking a lot out of me to not be real petty right now.

"Here." I said sticking my phone out. She looked at the phone like it was a foreign object. "Take the phone since you think I'm cheating on you. You want to be right so bad take the damn phone I'm leaving."

She didn't want to take the phone so I through it on the table and snatched my keys out of her hand and quickly walked out the door and slammed it behind me.

I walked to my car feeling nothing but rage and disappointment. It hurts my heart when we argue but this time Angel was dead ass wrong and it's even more upsetting to hear her spew out nonsense. I love that girl and I've made it my mission to show her how much I care and appreciate her. It's like she doesn't think about that at all. It's always about somebody liking me , I'm sorry I can't help it if I'm attractive and women like me. But what I can do is deny the attention and focus on my girlfriend.

I started the car and quickly sped off. I wanted to get as far away from her as possible. The more and more I thought about her the angrier I got. My hands were shaking from the pain of hearing her say the same things about me 'cheating' on her. My vision was blurry from the tears in my eyes. I didn't realize I was pushing the car way above the speed limit.

As I went to went to wipe my tears. I turned my head to the side just for a second never seeing the car until it was too late.

You know they always say all it takes is a second to see your life flash before your eyes..

I couldn't scream.. The only thing I could think about was Angel and all the memories we had together flashed through my head as the world turned round. I don't know how many times the car flipped over. All I felt was..

Pain.

Pain in my body.. pain in my head and most importantly pain in my heart.

I could feel a summer breeze on my skin.

All I could taste was a thick metallic substance as I gurgled like a baby trying to take their first breath.

Breathe.

I can't breathe.

I can't..

It's so dark and cold.. where am I?

"We have a pulse but it's very weak Tommy drive a little faster she still has some fight left in her." The female EMT shouted to the driver as she worked quickly to keep the severely wounded woman alive. She reached down to shift the woman's broken leg into a comfortable position making sure to keep her distance away from the protruding bone sticking out.

"Pupils are dilating, her heart rate is steady as of right now but it's very slow. We've got a broken leg, fractured ribs, her neck doesn't appear to be broken thank god. There is glass sticking out the forehead on the right side. Broken nose and I've got some blood coming out of the left eardrum there is Bruising on the left collarbone and left side from the underarm all the way down to the hip." The female EMT shouted to her fellow EMT as she analyzed the patient's body.

"What's the ETA Tommy we have to there now! Jamie pass me the extra gauze behind you the blood is soaking through this one." She said moving forward to stop the bleeding. They were doing the best they could to save the woman from bleeding out.

"We need to-."
