"Fantasia, I need you to breathe beautiful, it's going to be okay. I'm right here with you."
Those are the last words I heard before I blacked out. The mixed emotions that I felt from the words I heard part from Kendall's lips. The audacity and the nerve of his ass! How could he ever utter those words to me? " Fantasia, I can't do this anymore." When I was the one who always had his back, from childhood, to being teenage parents, through college, all of the above.
I opened my eyes, unfamiliar with my whereabouts. Why am I in the hospital with an IV in my arm and oxygen in my nose. Although my eyesight is still blurry, I see Taraji in a chair to my left.
"Hey Tasia baby, you're awake!" says Taraji. "Do you remember what happened?" I nodded my head yes, as tears fell from my eyes and my body began to tremble uncontrollably. Taraji climbed in the bed and held me close and whispered in my ear, "I got you Fantasia, together we will get through this." Her words felt sincere.
I was released from the hospital at about 4 in the morning. Taraji arranged an Uber for us because she rode in the ambulance with me. Being so late/early, she insisted I stayed with her. We arrived at her beautiful two story home. We walked inside, "Tasia, make yourself at home, ima gonna glad you some clothes, and hygiene products, you can come up here."
I walked into my walk-in closet, when I came out with a tee shirt and some shorts. Fantasia was laying across my bed sobbing her eyes out, I hated to see her in such a vulnerable state. I would have never hurt her like this. I didn't break her heart, but maybe she'll let me mend it. At a loss of words, I just climbed in bed and held her in my arms. Caressing her back and shoulders, until she fell asleep.
"I love you Fantasia, I would never hurt you like Kendall. Hopefully one day, I can let you know just how much I love you."
