Kourtney

My eyes fluttered open, as my ears adjusted to the extremely annoying sound of the beeping machines by my bedside. I looked around the room, briefly, and realized I was in the hospital.

What am I doing here and how did I get here? I thought to myself.

I looked left of the room, only to see Ms. Sheila and Sal curled up in two pull out chairs. I'm guessing Cha wasn't here because she had to stay with the girls.

I shifted upright in my bed the best I could, though my body was completely sore.

What happened to me?

I'm guessing they heard my shuffling, both Mama and Sal opened their eyes, rushing toward me.

"Oh my God, your awake baybeh!" Mama Sheila kissed my cheek.

"I'm so glad your awake Kourt! You had us all scared!" Sal exclaimed.

"What do you mean? What exactly happened?" I asked, completely confused.

"Well.. you had an anxiety attack." Sal confessed.

"You called 911, but by the time the paramedics came, you were unconscious. They said you fainted and was having heart palpitations. Once you got here it continued and you stayed unconscious. Somethin' like a coma but not as severe." Mama said.

"What? The last thing I remember is being at the mall with Kr-- being at the mall." I quickly changed my words. Not wanting Sal to scold me about hanging with Krystal.

"Well, you've been out for about two days now. We were all so worried about you and I couldn't leave you here alone."

"Two days?" I shook my head, not believing any of this.

"Glory be to God that your okay. I'm just happy you and my grand baby are okay."

"Thank you both for being here for me, I don't know what I'd do without you guys." I confessed. I couldn't imagine waking up in the hospital alone, not knowing what's going on.

Mama Sheila waved me off.
"Kourtney, your family. There's nothing you could possibly ask me that I wouldn't try my hardest to fulfill. Your family." She cupped my face and I smiled at her words, ready to get emotional.

"And you know our special relationship Kourt. Even though I have plenty of bones to pick with you, there's no place I'd rather be then by my best friend, no- by my sister's side." She mugged me at first jokingly, then smiled. Or maybe that was a serious scold. I have been a terrible best friend lately.

I smiled, wondering if she was referring to the Krystal thing. Knowing Sal, probably. Nothing passes her. But that's my Sal. I instantly felt terrible for ever ignoring her in the first place. Here she was at my bedside, not Krystal. Sal has been down for me since forever, not Krystal. I have to do some real soul searching and evaluating once I leave here.

"I spoke to August earlier. I believe his flight landed already so he'll actually be here anytime soon." Mama Sheila said.

August.

All memories began rushing in. I remember. I remember everything.

I remember going to the mall that day, coming home, and calling August. Overhearing him & some girl while the call was connected. She admitted giving him head. He cheated on me, again. He gave up on our relationship. He gave up on us. He gave up on our family.
