Janet POV

I didn't know if I could do this. Every time I thought about leaving and getting on the plane. I would start to hyperventilate. My whole chest hurt. My whole body hurt and ached. I thought I was going to puke. Thankfully Gil was here.

"You ready?" he asked. His face was all puffy and his eyes were red from crying so much. I'm sure I looked about the same. Even Tommy and Preston were a mess. I just nodded my head, I couldn't speak. He grabbed my hand and led me out of my house. I was currently in Malibu. Gil was supposed to stay with me a short time while his house was being renovated. We had just finalized some things for the upcoming tour and who we were going to do promo with.

When I heard that Eissa had gotten into a car accident, I just went numb. My whole world came crumbling down. He was my whole reason for anything. I would do anything for him. I would die for that little boy. I didn't know how bad it was. And the doctors would only tell me so much on the phone. Rebbie initially called me to let me know. She said I needed to come and see him right away. I just threw stuff in a bag, and we left out.

Eissa was down in Houston hanging out with Randy and Rebbie for a bit. He wanted to get to know that side of the family more. So I allowed him to see his family and cousins. Things seemed to be finally going right for us. We finally had a good routine. His asshole dad was finally out of the picture for good and in jail, I was slowly getting myself together when it came to Darius, and it was just the two of us again.

Darius and I...we currently weren't talking much. I was avoiding knowing that he was dating someone. I didn't want to get into any mess with that or with any female cause she was acting crazy. And we just continued with practices for the upcoming tour.

I kept thinking what if something happened to my Eissa and he died? Darius loved that little boy so much. I know he would never forgive me if I didn't call him and let him know. But I just couldn't in this moment. Not in the state of mind I was in. From my place, to the car,  to plane, I held tight to Gil. "Booty I'ma need my hand back at some point hunny."

"I know I'm sorry." I whispered. 

"Hey listen he'll be okay."

I could feel my tears falling down my face. "What if he's not?" I choked up. 

"You can't think like that. Let's just see how things are when we get there, okay?" I could only nod my head. I didn't trust my voice again.

Joey met us at the airport. When he saw me, he gave me a big bear hug.

"Hey J. How you holding up?"

"I'm here...you know?"

"Yeah...come on let's get you guys to the hospital."

He grabbed our bags placing them in the car. Gil and I got in and Joey took off.  I kept fidgeting.

"Booty please calm down. You don't even know anything yet."

"I'm trying! I just don't know what to do with myself." I yelled and then started bawling. Gil grabbed me quickly as I cried uncontrollably. He and Joey cried with me. Both them unable to hold back.
