Dayvon Daquan Bennett
Atlanta Georgia July 4th 2023 | 12:00pm
Dayvon's eyes fluttered opened as he heard the constant beeping sound of an heart monitor go off, he blinked his eyes a couple of times, trying to adjust to the bright lights that blurred his vision before looking around and noticing that he was laying in a hospital bed.
His throat felt dry as he mustered up enough energy to swallow his spit, he closed his eyes again shortly after while trying to piece together what led him to where he was at.
He distinctively remembered going inside of a gas station with India and watching her get into it with Nyla before him and Israel began fighting, he sucked his teeth feeling himself get angry at the fact that he was in this position.
He knew for a fact that once he caught Israel, it would be the last time he ever walked on earth. He hated feeling like he was going out like a hoe over India.
The door swung open and Dayvon's attention reverted over to it as India walked in with a big teddy bear and get well balloons.
She looked distraught and he could tell that she hadn't been getting any sleep in the last past couple of days, "Dayvon oh my gosh, you're awake.. I gotta go tell the doctors"
He watched as she placed down the gifts on a nearby table and hurriedly walked back out of the room, a few moments later she walked back in with his assigned doctor trailing behind her.
"Good evening Mr.Bennett, it's good to see that you're finally awake.. you were in a coma for approximately 2 weeks and I was starting to worry that you wouldn't wake up but it's good that you have, in case you don't remember you were shot twice in the upper chest and had to have an emergency surgery to stop the internal bleeding, good thing the bullets didn't hit any main arteries so you should be fully recovered within a month or two"
Dayvon sat in silence as the doctor continued to talk to him about his discharge process and the prescribed medication he would be receiving for the pain he would experience.
Shortly after the doctor left the room, India looked over at Dayvon who was staring aimlessly at the wall ahead of him.
"I'm happy that you're awake baby, I haven't been myself since that night happened.. I haven't been sleeping or eating, I cried almost every night hoping and praying that you made it through.. I couldn't go back to Chicago knowing that you were basically fighting for your life in here" India mumbled lowly while looking down at her hands as she nervously played with her fingers
Von continued to keep quiet as he heard her start to sniffle, he watched from his peripheral vision as she wiped away the tears that fell down her cheeks and got up from the chair, walking towards his bedside.
