A Dancehall Story- Book 10 Part 2

Chapter 35 - Keys To The City

Stacy's POV

When I woke up I wasn't even sure how long I was sleeping after drinking the water. I had asked everyone to leave my house days ago, including Mel. I doubt she was even gone but she got the message that I didn't want her.

It was hard to face reality, I understood why he was now drinking this water, It made me feel nothing.

While in the shower the effect seemed to wear off and now I was left with feeling everything again. Guilt and regrets were the worst.

I found it hard to bring myself to visit him. I was afraid to see him lying in a hospital bed. No matter what they say to me I refuse to visit him. "I will go on my own time," I kept telling everyone.

He was even there, just empty and sleeping away. The emotions hit me once again and I broke down on the floor of the shower while the water beat on me from head to toe.

Getting the dress was an even task, took the clothes out and just sat on the bed looking at them. All I wanted was to drink the water and go to sleep but I didn't have any more. The stash he had was gone, so now I was left to feel everything.

There was a knock on the door, along with feeling now I am being disturbed. Fucked up combination. I quickly pull one Garrick shirt over my head and just the scent of his cologne almost flips me over.

"Hold it together Stacy, you can't allow this to break you." These are the words I keep telling myself every time I want to cry just to control myself.

I open the door to Poppy and Mel standing behind her. "Did my husband die?" I asked. Yeah that was not a nice thing to say but I told them, every single person I knew, to leave me alone.

"No my dear. Can I come in?" Before I could answer she pushed past me. Mel stood back until I moved from the door then she entered the room.

"If this is about going to the hospital, I told you people that I will go when I am ready." I sat on the couch, folding my feet beneath me. I took the neck of the t-shirt and covered my mouth and face. It was like he was hugging me and kissing me.

I just want them to leave so I could cover my entire face and just cry now.

"We are not here for that love. You can always do that when you feel ready."

"I still think it's inconsiderate of you not to visit him. Everyone has."

"Mel, you have some nerves talking to me, plus I am not everyone, leave me alone."

"Ok you two, this is not what we are here about."

"So what is it?" I asked Poppy. I was surprised that she was still here.

"Well let me get straight to it since I don't have much time here. My finances are at stake right now, no one is controlling anything and by rule, you are the one that should be the trustee of your husband's estate and everything under him. I cut the formalities and made it simple."

I started laughing because these women must be sick in their heads. "Unuh betta find someone else to deal with that shit because I don't want it."

"So you're telling me that I need to bring in the formalities?" Poppy asked.

Here she goes. Why me? None of her children aren't competent enough?

"Mrs. Muir, with all due respect ma'am. I don't give a flying fuck about anyone finances. My husband is strung up in a hospital bed, on the verge of dying. I don't care about anything right now."

"Well Mrs. Walker, you should because this is about protecting your children's assets if the worst should come. Your name is next in line for ruling, it's your duty."
