Nicole Pov🙇🏽😴
Three months ago...
The faces she makes when she is mad, the face she makes when she is happy, even the silly faces. That was my baby-she was the light to my sun. She was my creation and it pains me to see her this way. There was nothing I could do. I felt powerless because my baby was hurting and there was nothing I could do to help.
I laid in bed, wiping the tears that were still pouring down my face due to the crying I have been doing nonstop. It had been like this for months. The doctors are now saying they don't think she's gonna make it. After the treatment my child hasn't gotten better she was worst then what she started with. Kori was diagnosed with leukemia a few months ago , she had already been began to lose her hair. She had stopped talking to certain people and she would cry every time she had saw a nurse or doctor.
I heard a soft knock on the door. I sat up from the bed and wiped the tears that were falling.
"Come in." I yelled
The door flew open by my four year old niece her long curly hair had dropped to her shoulders. Along with her sister who was sixteen but instead her hair was in a bun while she wore her black lace dress with black flats. She wasn't the girly girl type they both came to my bed and sat on the bed.
"Auntie it's almost time to go." My niece Alani said as she played with my fingers.
A tear slid my face as I played with her curls that was dangling in her face. My daughter hated when I use to play with her curly hair and how she would scrunch up her face. She was so damn tinder headed .
She wiped it off and said, "Don't cry auntie. It's gonna be okay I promise." She said
"You promised ?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"I promise now come on before they leave us." She said referring to my mother who was getting ready to see my daughter .
I wasn't near ready. I was supposed to be ready an hour ago.
"Come on old lady." Alani sister Tiasia said as she got up from the bed and her and Alani walked out of my bedroom. I groan out of exaggeration and got out of bed. I went into that bathroom that was down the hall from my room. My mother house wasn't as big it was 4bedroom and 2 bath one story home that we had lived in every since we was little. I turned on the shower and grabbed my rag that was hanging up. Before I got in the shower I put my hair in a bun.
The warm water from the shower hit my body immediately. I felt like all my problems and issues were washed away. Besides the hurt and striking pain in my heart. I knew deep down that I was gonna be okay I stayed in the shower for 20 minutes washing my body. When I was finish I got out the shower and wrapped my blue towel that I had wrapped around my body. I opened the bathed door and walked to my room that was all the way down the hall.
"Nicole hurry up nah we gotta leave here it at 10" my mother said as I ran to my room.
"Ight ma" I yelled back.
I went in my closet and pulled out some light blue skinny leg jeans with with my white and blue polo shirt and my white high top Air Force.I grabbed my gold chain that had my daughter Maliyah name written on it. I put on my bra and panties and I then put on the outfit that I had laid on the bed.
"Nicole Cory outside"Tiasia said referring to my daughters father. Cory and I was young kids fooling around who had a child. He was excited and so was I but when are daughter .Maliyah came unto the world he couldn't put his childish ways behind. I couldn't deal with it I had to step up and be the woman I had to be for my child and he still wanted to be a little boy so we went are separate ways.
As of now we are friends, I grabbed my purse and phone and walked out the house where I saw Cory sitting out front. I walked over to his car and opened the car door. I got inside the car and looked at Cory who look as if he hadn't slept for days.
"How she doing?" He asked
"She's getting worse."
"But you wouldn't know that because you can't out your pride aside to see her." I said
He couldn't say anything but looked out the window. I got out of the car and slammed it behind me. I'm not gonna make him go see her but what if she don't make he's gonna have to deal with that burden of never seeing his child. I understand it's hard but not as hard is it for me. I gave birth to her I should've been the one battling cancer not my baby. She only three dawg.
