October 30

I was balling my eyes out on our way to the hospital. I thought pooda was gone. This brought back so many memories of when my mom died. "Baby girl don't cry. She gone be straight Gods got it okay ?" I nodded letting out more tears. "Shorrdy what's wrong ? Why you crying so hard ? She gone be aight I promise" "You don't understand, it's a long story" I told him. " Make it short" he said looking me in my eyes until the car behind us blew the horn. "So basically when I was six years old my mom died in a car accident" It was an awkward silence for about a minute "I'm sorry deja . That's not gonna happen to pooda I promise." I nodded and looked out the window as we pulled up to the hospital.

He helped me out the car and wiped away my tears. "God is healing her okay ?" I couldn't help but smile . He was just so gorgeous . It's amazing how he made my mind black out from everything but him. I nodded "okay"
"Hey skinny minnie !" Ke'shawn was the only person that called me that so I knew it was him. He had his arm around his girl Dominique . "Wassup yall?" I said sniffling . Braxton dapped up Ke'shawn and gave Dominique a nod. "Yeah yall" I knew Ke'shawn was gonna say something about us . He always do that shit.

We walked in the hospital and I saw India sleeping on Shay's shoulder .
"She cried herself to sleep." Shay told us. India has always been emotional. Even when we were younger , we saw Marley and me and she was crying her heart out. "So how's pooda coming along" Braxton asked putting his arm around me making me smile. "She was found unconscious so she went in to surgery an hour ago. The nurse told me she has a minor leg injury but she'll recover in a few weeks" Shay told us . We all took a seat and decided to spend the night here. "I'll be here tomorrow shorrdy let me know how she is." Braxton told me. "Okay and thank you so much. I appreciate it and I enjoyed myself today , minus this part but the movie was cool and you suck at basketball" I said joking . He hugged me grabbing my butt and kissed my forehead. "Your welcome princess.Ard yall im out" he told everyone then left.

Around 10 when pooda'a dad got off of work, he brought us a pizza and told us to get some rest. Pooda'a parents are together , but her mom is in Venezuela on a business trip. We all finished eating and tried to sleep. It was 2 in the morning and i couldn't sleep so I just prayed.

The nurse came over to me."pooda'a awake if you wanted to see her. I know it's late but your more than welcome to see her." I followed the nurse back to her room . She didn't look bad at all actually she just had her leg elevated in a cast. "Hey bookie" I said "Wassup deja ?" She was chilling . She was watching Martin and eating a bag of Hot Cheetos. "You want some" she offered . "Nah I'm cool , but how you feeling ? You look good" "I'm just blessed . I was lowkey scared when I woke up here . And the nurse breath smelt like straight ass." I bust out laughing. "Your a mess".

"Ready turn up? Happy Halloween !" Damn I had forgot all about the party. "Idk if I'm even going" "How much money did we spend on that costume that is non-returnable ? I don't care if I have to drag you by your braids in my wheelchair but your going . "Okay girl" I said laughing . She had a lot of energy for it to be 2:41 a.m . Her dad came in "your moms on the phone." "I'll see you later pooda " I said giving her a hug then went back in the waiting room and went to sleep.
