A Woman's Worth (Book #1)

Chapter 18: ..Love?

Ahayah

Its been a couple days since the club incident and it's been weighing on my heart heavy. I feel bad for Patience but then again she ain't have no business putting her hands on me.

Now here I am she got me laid up in a freaking hospital bed looking like a purple faced clown. I got a red fat lip, the whole left side of my face is purple, green, and red, and two of ribs are broken. No wait the icing on the cake, I'M BREATHING OUT OF A DAMN TUBE?! How the hell am I gone model like this?

"Babe you okay?" Jamaica asked as she walked through the door holding a huge Teddy bear and balloons. I nodded my head yea and tried to blow her a kiss but it didn't work. I wanted so bad to talk to her but the doctor recommended that I didn't until my breathing gets back right. So here I have a notepad and a pen.

I picked them both up and wrote to Jamaica. Which was;
Jamaica what happened to Patience?

She read it and looked at me sighing heavily. I raised an eyebrow at her and slowly patted the bed next to me where there was a little room. She gladly took the seat and grabbed my hand. "I killed her." She whispered. My eyes bulged outta by head. 'Am I hearing stuff or am I correct? Did she just say she killed her?'

"I had to Ahayah. She nearly killed you look at you. Plus I couldn't control my anger. I was already about to come after you cause you were taking to long but Hazel was like naw dawg trust her. Ion think she gone do you wrong. So I sat back down and then heard screaming and people making a circle around something. The music was cut and it was quiet. Then I heard you scream Jamaica." She paused and took a deep breath her eyes starting to water.

"I ran. I ran to you. If I was a second too late you would've been dead cause she had a gun pointed at you. Before I could even whip my piece out Hazel and Blue let of 3 shots shooting her to the ground. It was two in her stomach one in the leg. She was still alive but then when I came up she held onto her stomach but still had the gun pointed at you about to pull the trigger and I shot first. Aiming for her face but I skipped it and made sure it drove through her careless ass heart. We left before the police came but Love helped you into the ambulance. I was on the phone the whole time y'all came here." She explained everything to me with tears gushing from her eyes.

The way she told me what happened and how she reacted struck a nerve. She was crying because my ex almost killed me. If that ain't love ion know what to call it. "Jamaica..." I whispered. Her head shot up and her eyes disintegrated into mine. "You love me?" I whispered after a couple seconds.

"Yes Ahayah I love you. You're becoming my everything more and more each day. Ion know what I'd do without you by my side, you're the best thing that has ever happened to me." She replied letting more tears fall. I rose my hand up to her face and wiped her tears slowly caressing her face. I pulled her closer by her ear and kissed the trail her tears left.

"I-I-I.... " I stuttered tryna get the words out. Tears stained my eyes and slowly drained down my face. "Shhh.. I don't want you to say you love me until you're ready. Just know I love you." She kissed my lips softly and laid next to me. Our breathing working with each others as we slowly fell into a sleep that felt so real, so right, so well needed.

...... I actually do love Jamaica.

"I just know y'all won't sleep still. Its almost 2 o'clock get up lazies!" I heard Analaa say before she started to open up the window letting an awful amount of light in. "How you feeling bugga boo?" She asked rubbing my face. I nodded tryna smile but my face still hurted.

"Thats good. I brought you some Apple juice and a banana but muffin your favorite. Oh and those flowers and the Teddy bear too." She informed me taking a seat. "Wussup Analaa... Aye babe, I'm fina go home and take a shower. I'll be back in and hour or so." Jamaica whispered getting up out the bed with me. She leaned down and kissed my cheek and forehead. Analaa spoke back and raised her eyebrows up at me. Jamaica soon disappeared out the door and Analaa smiled huge.

"Y'all might as well be together. She by your side at your worst lil sis better open your eyes! And then she saved you from a psychotic idiot. Come on noooow!" She said opening up the muffin she brought. She slowly fed me while I wrote her a note on my notepad.

Did you know that she killed her?

She read it and nodded. "It was for the best." She whispered. Just then my room door opened and in walked Patience's mom, brother, and her twin sister. My heart dropped. But wait, they didn't look sad at all. "Ima go fix some ice I'll leave y'all alone for a little." Analaa replied eyeing me.

"Heyy Ahayah. How you feeling?" Mrs. Miller asked rubbing my face. I looked down at my notepad and changed the page. Ion know what would've happened if she read it. I smiled faintly at her and she sighed. "I heard about what Patience did to you. I apologize for that. Its been said that she's been taking drugs every since y'all broke up. I was kinda scared I almost lost both of you." She informed me.

Her words 'almost' rung through my head causing me to sadden. This means that Patience isn't dead and she's gonna get revenge. But how? Jamaica shot her in the heart. Unless... Oh my gawd.

"Hey Ahayah." Passion said waving their brother just threw his head up at me. I waved back and focused my attention back on Mrs. Miller. "I brought you flowers and a gift card." She told me laying the stuff on the counter. I wrote thank you on my notepad and they started to leave. "Oh by the way Patience also said she sorry." Her brother said smiling evily at me. My heart sunk even more and a headache came along.

Analaa passed them on her way in and noticed the look on my face. "What the hell they said to you? Ill get Buck wild in this bitch?!" She snapped going for the door. I threw the remote at the wall to get her attention and she looked back. I started to write on my notepad.

She's not dead. She's here in the hospital. They didn't exactly say she was here but I know it that's the only reason they'll be here. I'm scared Analaa they gone help her get revenge. I already knew it.. before it even happened.

"She must've got a heart transplant or something. She should've been dead. We got you though. When Jamaica come back tell her. Right now I need to make some calls. And yes I'm calling Romeo." She said pulling her phone up. Romeo is our cousin who lives in New York.. Our moms twin sister had him and my cousin Jacqueline. Anyway Romeo is a notorious hit man in New York. He told is if we ever need him just call the last time we saw him. I never wanted to call though.

As soon as she got on the phone a tear fell from my eye. This won't end pretty. "Hey cousin wussup?" Analaa spoke through the phone. Jamaica walked in and Analaa walked out Oh lord. "How you feeling babe?" Jamaica asked bringing me once another Teddy bear. This one wearing a shirt the had a Rasta flag on it and the words Jamaica written across it.

I smiled and she sat the stuff down. "Good." She kissed my cheek and sat down looking me over. Her eyes stopped at my notepad. 'Damn.' Instead of hiding it I handed it to her and she read the whole thing her jaw clenching even more every second. "So how you know this?" She asked handing me back the notepad.

Her mom, brother, and sister, stopped by just minutes ago talking bout Patience not dead and she left flowers and a gift card. She's gonna come for us Jamaica I'm scared.

"Don't worry babe. I got you." She informed me.

No need to worry babe. Analaa called my cousin Romeo. He'll handle it. Until then can we lay low please?

"Romeo your cousin? Thats my homiee! And yeaa I know bout him. I almost got caught up in the life he live but I wasn't built for it. Thats another story. Anyway yea I gotcha ion need you worrying." She kissed my cheek and got up getting my drink for me.

"Hey y'all I gotta go pick up Ania and start cooking call me if they release you today." Analaa said as she collected her belongings. "Alright see you later." Jamaica replied for me. Seconds later the nurse walked in holding a clipboard. "How are you doing today Ms. Hughes?" She asked standing next to my bed. I gave her a things up and she smiled.

"Good. I'm gonna check your vitals and you know the whole routine then the doctors gonna come in and see if you can leave." She informed me. I nodded and watched as Jamaica took my notepad flipping through it. She stopped when she saw the picture I attempted to draw of her. Under it read 'My Love' I saw her blush and take a picture of it before I was pulled into a sleep. Damn you nurse.
