Zariyah POV:

We had been sitting in the waiting room for like 6 hours and got zero updates bruh. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried but I could not show that, it would not help Alaisha feel better or stay calm.

Right now she's slumpt on my shoulder while holding my arm. Shit I'd take a picture butttt it's a bad time.

I was honestly only half surprised she fell asleep, you know when you crying hella hard that shit put you to sleep, well yeah that.

I honestly hope she just lets me stay and help her through this though because after earlier I lowkey wanted to jump off like 4 bridges but I didn't. And now I'm glad i didn't. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even more happy I ignored her telling me to leave her alone.

Six and a half-ish hours earlier

Zariyah POV:

"Okay sir thanks I'll let her know". I just finished talking to the girls uncle or cousin, parent person. Idk. He pretty much said he'd handle it and not to let the girls go back over.

That's a damn lie that man interrogated the fuck out of me but I had to put my foot down justtttt a little bit because he was completely off topic. Like uh Mr. Sir I am not the problem here please pay attention.

After I got off the phone I went to check on the girls, they were both in Lai's room. Malisha woke up a few minutes ago and begged us not to take her to the hospital or she'd beat both our asses.

I'm pretty sure Lai didnt take that very seriously but she was irritated and didn't feel like arguing. Thats just my guess though.

"Hey Lai can I talk to you". She looked up from starting at the grown and gave me the worlds coldest look. Like if looks could kill I'd be dead as fuck. And yes that's cliche as hell but I'm so for real.

"What". The way she spoke made it seem like she was far away like yeah she sitting right there but like emotionally, mentally she was somewhere else.

"Can I talk to you alone real quick".

"No. You can say it in front of both of us." If she was anybody else the attitude would've pissed me all the way off but!! She's not anybody else and I'm being understanding.

"Love it'll only be a couple minutes can you come here please". I spoke in the softest tone possible.

"No. I literally said you can say that shit in front of-"

"Lai actually I really need a minute so is it okay if I go use your bath". The silence after she spoke was loud and the tension was thick.

After a few seconds Lai answered her "Yes, I can hel-".

"No I'll manage. I appreciate the gesture though sissy I love you".

Malisha started to stand weekly from the bed, her body looked like it was in a tremendous amount of pain. I wanted to help but I didnt want to over step.

"I love you too Lisha".

By time she made it to the bedroom doorway I slightly stepped out of the way so she could get through but stayed close enough just incase.

I looked back at Alaisha and she was just staring at the floor.

"Lai"

"Hm?"

I walked closer to her and told her what her uncle said. That shit only made her angrier.
