Niques Love for the Game

Final Chapter

Nique walked in as she saw her baby sister laid out on the hospital bed. She couldn't believe this is what her life came down to. This was the most pain she has ever experienced at once. Nique took a seat next to Niesha hospital bed, she looked a the machine as it helped pumped air in and out of Niesha lungs. Nique grabbed her sister lifeless hand up and squeezed it tight.

"Ever since you were a baby, I've never been apart from you. It has always been my job to take care of you. Most big sister just want to live a life without have the responsibility of becoming a sister mom but I never mind. I just wanted to give you the love I never received. It was better if one of us was fucked up instead of the both of us. Every decision I made was to protect and take care of you. I knew whatever I did would affect you as well. Maybe dealing in the streets wasn't the best idea but it allow me to give you everything I never had. While you was sleeping on them school nights, I was being taught the ropes of the streets. I went through a lot to be the person I am today and honestly I don't think the person I am is a good person. Seeing you laid up like this has me thinking I made some bad choices. My dealings in the streets has led to you laying here fighting for your life. A lot of things has changed in the last 24 hours. Ain't nobody solid Nish, nobody had me like I thought they did. You the only person I got left, please don't leave me. Fight for me sissy, I need you to wake up. I'm hurting so bad, everything is fucked up." Nique paused as tears began to flow down her face. "The man I love so much killed my Puff. He set him up, I could've died that night. My best friend knew and said nothing. Love set us up, she was working with the opps. My whole life has been filled with pain, I don't have no more fight in me Nish. The only thing I've ever did right was raise you. I gave my all to everyone in my life. I made sure everybody was straight. Even when I wanted to quit I didn't because everybody depended on me. Everybody took apart of me, leaving me with nothing but a broken heart. I may appear to be strong but strong people need help too. You only can be strong for so long. I'm officially broken and if I lose you, I will have nothing to live for. Nish just come back to be please. That's all I ask please fight, you all I have left." Nique laid her head on Niesha bed, she was crying so loudly. That she didn't even hear Zay come in. Zay walked over and laid a hand on Niques back. She didn't even look up, she knew it was him.

"She gone be good sis, she ain't leaving us. She just resting right now." Zay said. Nique got herself together wiping her tears away.

"She all I got, ain't nobody else solid in my life expect her. That's my lifeline right there." Nique said staring at her sister, more tears began to flow. Zay sat down in the chair on the oppsosite side of Nique.
   
Zay sighed, "What's going on Nique. Star and Dereck ran out this bitch, than you was gone for some hours and ole boy ain't been in this bitch yet. Something going on besides Niesha."
   
Nique looked at him, "I can't talk about that here but I'm leaving town in the morning. I'm taking Niesha to get the best care in another state. It's time I leave Philly. I know my sister is your girl. So you coming with us or not?"
   
Zay looked at her surprised. He sat back in his chair. "Wherever Niesha go, I go. You know I wasn't saying no. I won't press the issue but you gone have to tell me sooner or later. I need to make a couple calls, it already late. I gotta let my people know."
   
Nique nodded, "I will tell you when I'm miles away from here. Go ahead and make your calls. I have one more thing to handle. A lot is already put in place. Handle your business we leave at 8 am. I will text you the address to meet and don't tell nobody your going with me." Nique got up heading to the door. She turned around, "I appreciate you loving my sis, the way you do."

"Ain't no thing that's my heart. You know Nique you say you don't have no one solid expect for her but you got me. Anything you need I got you." Zay said sincerely. Nique gave him a half smile and walked out. She might have lost some people she thought would last forever in her life but she gained a brother. A bond she would cherish forever.
