Endless Love

33

A few hours went by and it was around midnight and we were all still waiting for them to come out of Josh's room. I was in the room with Lily, wide awake in the chair watching her sleep, hoping she'd move or anything, but she didn't. I was about to try and close my eyes until I heard the door finally open from the room next door. I jumped up and stood in the doorway, looking at the doctor.

"We're doing the best we can, right now he's still breathing, but barely. There's a chance he may not make it through the night." I felt my tears instantly starting to fall. "But there is a chance he could make it, were going to have to put him on life support if you guys still want him to try and make it through this."

"If you think he's too far gone, you should just let him peacefully go on his own."

"No!" I cried out and looked at his mom. She was crying too, and so was the rest of the family but I wasn't going to let them do this. "Look I know you only knew me for two seconds but you can't let him just go like that. He can make it through this it's possible. Don't give up on him because they claim he's too far gone." I said in a shakey and scared voice.

"They're professionals though Liyah, why make my son suffer more?"

"But there's a what if. What if he wakes up, what if he makes it through this night. You'll go your whole life wondering 'what if' if you let him go now. He may be suffering but what if it isn't his time now, he's not dead from this crazy ass accident for a reason." I said putting my hands on my head. I couldn't let them just let Josh go like this, I had to fight back. "I can't explain to my daughter that we let her dad die."

"Oh but it won't be like that Liyah-"

"Then what will it be like?!" I screamed out and got my coat. If they were going to do this, I couldn't be here. "And doctor, don't let anybody go in there and be near my daughter if it's not me, if she wakes up you call me, and if they don't kill my daughter's father tonight you call me too." I said putting my coat on and leaving out the room. I didn't approve of this shit at all, what was I gonna stay there for? I couldn't see him like that. I had to leave before I cussed everybody out. I walked down to the main lobby and seen all the people with camera's and mic's ready to ask me questions. I was gonna do my best to avoid them so I went out through one if the back exits.

"Liyah! I'm sorry I got here so late the traffic was crazy are they okay?!" I heard Tay's voice yell out and run up to me as soon as I opened the exit door.

"Lily's in a coma, Josh is on life support." I said crying and walking over to her car to get inside. She followed and got back in too, and we just sat there cause I don't thibk she knew the exact words to say but I could see the tears in her eyes too. She handed me my phone and keys, I'm glad she went there before anyone found out the door was wide open.

"Everything was still in your place from what I seen, I went and locked it up and got your phone. I know this is a stupid question but how are you feeling?"

"Drained, I'm about to go crazy on everybody in there so I left."

"Who else is in there?"

"Josh's family, and they're saying they wanna pull Josh's plug. That makes no sense Tay, he's still alive it's like they're wasting no time with just pulling his plug and I can't be in there if they do that." I said crying my eyes out and putting one of my hands on my head. "And Lily she's so bruised and scratched up and they say she's in just as much of a critical condition as he is. What did I do to deserve all this?"

"You couldn't of stopped it Liyah, some things just happen. And don't be discouraged Lily will wake up, it may not be soon but she will, and let's hope they leave Josh the way he is right now."

"Yeah and if they both don't and I'm here left by myself?"

"You have me, you know were practically sister's. And I heard Naomi had the whole shooting happen, it was her cousins and she told them how Josh was giving her hell about the baby, so they went and did that. She was writing crazy shit on Twitter earlier about Josh, and saying that she hopes him and his daughter was dead." Hearing every word coming out of Tay's mouth at this point I was getting heated. Naomi went too fucking far, all this damage she caused and she's not arrested? That was about to change cause I'll give them a reason to arrest her.

"Take me to her Tay, if you don't I will. Whether I gotta walk all the way back to my place and get my car, or push you out yours and get in the driver's seat."

"You know I got your back, I'm going where you're going. She lives with her aunt anyways I think." She said as we pulled out the hospital parking lot. We rode by the front as all those people were still around waiting for someone to come out so they could get an update on Josh's condition. I hated those nosey ass reporters, and they knew it.

"You know I rode by the accident earlier and didn't even know it was my baby? I rode by it, looked at it. Talked to a woman in the elevator about it, and had no clue that it was my baby."

"It's alright, how were you supposed to know. The accident already had happened you couldn't of saved them." She said as she kept on driving, we were almost there and I was thinking about how I hated the fact that I left Lily's side, but I had to get out of there. It felt like I was in a dark place just staying in there, knowing both of them aren't just gonna run up to me and bother me. That made my heart feel heavy, and even just waiting for them to wake up if they do, is gonna be a long and difficult process for me to take.

"We're here, I hope this hoe is here." Tay said pulling right up into the parking lot of the apartment building. "I don't know what floor or apartment number she's in."

"It's alright cause my ass is about to find out." I said tying my hair up and leaving my bag and coat in the car. I walked inside the building and looked on the mailboxes to see if I could see her last name on any of them, but I didn't. "They don't have the same last name."

"Well there's only one more thing to do. Naomi!" Tay screamed out as she started walking up the steps. "You stay here Liyah, so she'll think it's just me." She climbed up the stairs more screaming out her name, the higher she went the more her voice started to fade away. I stood there in the dark little hallway and seen someone coming out a car when I glanced out the windows of the two doors, and it was her. I stood there without making any noise, but when she opened the doors I couldn't help myself but attack her.

"What the fuck?!" She yelled out when I jumped on her.

"I know what the fuck you did, what the fuck you said on Twitter about wanting my daughter dead!" I said punching her face in sequence without stopping. I could feel my rage and anger, it was coming out more and more after each punch.

"You bitch! I can't breathe! Stop!"

"I don't give a shit!" I yelled out as I kept attacking her face. At this point I was ontop of her, she couldn't block herself cause I made sure my legs was on her arms, but she did try to fight her arms free but I was so mad that I wasn't letting that happen.

"Oh shit Liyah! You're gonna kill her!" Tay said running from down the steps fast, and before she came I made sure I got in more hard hits, I was switching from fist to fist, beating her face like it was a punching bag. The more I did it I could see how weak she was getting, her arms stopped fighting as much to get free and she kept whimpering. Tay finally got down to me and tried to pull me off, she just about got me but I got a good kick in her face before she got me fully off. "Bitch you don't wanna catch a case cause this hoe do you?! Stop it!"

"I don't care at this point!" I yelled out and I looked at my hands from the little light we got from the window and could see the blood on them. I could feel the swolleness of my fists and I got a small glance at her. She was still yelling and I'm guessing someone heard all the shit in the building, because I looked outside and there was the blue flashing lights.

"We should make a run for it!"

"That'll only make shit worse Tay! We're staying right here!"

"Oh shit, you're gonna go to jail Liyah!"

"And if I do you gonna bail me out!" I wasn't worried about anything, they could arrest me if they wanted too because I'll always feel like this was worth it, regaurdless what happens to me afterwards. My daughter was in the hospital because of this bitch, nothing was stopping me from giving her pain right now, not even jail.
