I was too young to be going thru this.

I been feeling uneasy the whole day.

My legs were cramping, my breasts sore and I was feeling too damn hot. I just had to get out my apartment.

Plus I was craving sumn sweet and salty.

I forgot what to get tho so I just been walking between isles, hoping ima know when I see it.

My phone vibrated indicating an incoming call. I answered without checking the caller ID.

“Lani?”

“No, I, uh- it’s Shai.”

I scrunched up my face, surprised. “Funny hearing from you...”

“Yea, um, I take it you ain’t heard the news yet.”

“What news?” My heartbeat raced.

She cleared her throat and breathed. “Ima need you to be sat when I tell you this if you ain’t.”

“Gurl, ain’t no chair for me on site so might as well get to talking. Just cause I’m prego don’t mean I’m fragile.”

“O-kay, erm... Von. His mama called and she ain’t want nobody else to know bout this but since you his baby mama and all-”

“What about Von?” I interrupted.

“He’s been in a car accident round yo block and at the hospital right now. Ion know his condition tho.” She blurted out.

My heart dropped and my knees got weak. I couldn’t believe my ears. I didn’t want to.

“Lakaela is you there? Please tell you ain’t passed out.”

“What hospital he at?” I asked, already hurrying back to my apartment.

“Please tell me you won’t drive at night-”

“Which fucking hospital Shaniqua?” I yelled, losing my patience.

“Ima text you the name.”

I inhaled and hung up as I felt like I was running out of air to breathe.

I didn’t waste time when I reached my crib... I quickly grabbed my car keys and purse then headed to my car.

I drove at a slow speed cause there was traffic, and I passed a drastic scene on the way, causing my heart to beat faster.

What if it happened here?

Was he on his way to see me?

I couldn’t stop the tears that were running down my face. I prayed that was not his.

I rushed through the hospital doors and looked around for any sign of Trevon’s people.

But I didn’t see any.

The nurse at the desk looked up as I walked to him. “Can I help you?”

“I’m here for Trevon Josiah Gardner,” I replied, trying to keep calm. “He was in a car accident.”

“Are you family?” he asked softly while tapping at the desktop.

“I’m his girlfriend.” I took out my phone and showed him my wallpaper.

The nurse frowned and shook his head. “I’m sorry, sweetie. I can’t allow you in. You’re have to wait for his real family.”

I made a face and threw a small tantrum before going to sit in the waiting hall. I was gonna wait, no matter how long it was finna take...

Cause that’s what people do when they’re in love, they wait.
