OMG I POSTED THE WRING CHAPTER!!! SO CHAPTER SIX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE POSTED TODAY. IM SO SORRY. WELL HERES CHAPTER 5 SO YALL CAN BE ALL CAUGHT UP. PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

Lani,

I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the biggest knife I could find quickly running back into the living room to find him gone and Missy laid on the floor passed out with her son by her side crying.

"Missy!" I ran over next to her checking for a pulse. Moments like this is when I'm thankful for taking that CPR lesson. She was still breathing but was very unresponsive.
I couldn't think with all that crying so my first step was to get them quiet.

"Ssh, your mommy is OK but you have to be quiet so I can help her." I tried to comfort the little boy. He continued to cry which kinda frustrated me. I picked him up sitting him on the couch while I searched for her phone to call an ambulance.

I saw it sticking out her bra but that's where I draw the line. I'll be damned.

"Can you be a big boy and grab your moms phone?" I asked him nicely. He nodded climbing off the couch reaching into her shirt coming up with the phone. I let out a sigh of relief only to find out it was dead.

"What the fuck!?" The baby jerked from my loud voice. "I'm sorry um, grab yo mama keys please." The boy ran and grabbed her keys. I have never drove a car a day in my life.

I had to actually pick Missy up and carry her to the car. I sat her in the passenger seat making sure to buckle her up. I still had to go back in and get the kids and the diaper bag. Once we were all in the car I managed to get it started and slowly but surely I made it out the driveway.

Stepping down on the gas pedal a little more made the car jerk. I know I had to be extra careful since I had lives at risk. I gripped the wheel a little tighter then slowly pressed on the gas pedal speeding up a little.

"Yes!" I exclaimed a little too happy. I'm really driving a car. The light turned red unexpectedly and I quickly stomped on the brakes barely stopping on time. There were about two people cussing me out at this point. I kept my focus on getting to the hospital. Eventually I made it but it took way too long.

When I got there I had them take her inside on a stretcher while I grabbed her kids. We followed them into the hospital and they took her to a room leaving us in the waiting. Only thing going through my mind was will they save.

"Family of Missy Dawson?" A nurse said walking into the waiting room. I stood up careful not to hit the car seat. It took an hour to get her to sleep.

"That's me." I smiled shaking her hand.

"Well we have some good and bad news." I bit my lip scared of what was bout to come. Missy is a close friend of mine.

"OK...."

"She will be OK so that's good. But we have to keep her for about a week or so just to make sure she's fine she has a lot of marks around her neck and we think that she has a popped vessel so we have to monitor that." I nodded looking over at her kids.

"Can I see her." She nodded and I picked up the sleeping boy laying him on my shoulders then used my free hand to get the car seat. I don't know how the hell she does this.

She walked me to the room holding the door open for me. I sat the car seat down on the floor then sat the little boy in the chair. Missy opened her eyes smiling at me.

"Thank you so much Lani." Her voice was low and raspy. I felt so bad.

"Its nothing. I'm sorry I couldn't help before all that happened." For some reason I felt like it was my fault. I felt like I could've stopped it sooner.

"Its not your fault. You did everything possible." I nodded silently still feeling a pinch of guilt in me. It for quiet for a few minutes.

"What did the doctor say?" She asked looking at me.

"She said your OK but their keeping you for a week...." She sighed. That's when I realized she couldn't keep her kids here with her.

"Do you have anyone you can call. Your mom or someone." She shook her head.

"No but its fine they can stay here with me." I immediately shook my head.

"No I'll take care of them. Just give me the keys to your place and I'll stay there with them. If your OK with that." She smiled nodding her head.

"Thank you so much." I shrugged my shoulders grabbing her house keys.

"No problem. Imma let you rest but I'll bring them up tomorrow for you." She smiled brightly.

"Thank you....again." I nodded picking up the kids walking to the elevator.

----------

I pulled up to Missy's house and saw fire and smoke everywhere. I parked the car and got out leaving the windows down cause of the kids. Police and fireman were everywhere.

"Excuse me ma'am you can't go over there." One man said holding me back.

"Let me go! This is my sister house." I pushed him back running to a fireman.

"Sir what happened." He looked at me.

"Is this your house?" I shook my head.
"Its my sisters, she's in the hospital. What happened?" I asked again.

"Well, someone set it on fire." I knew exactly who that someone.

"OK," Now we all were homeless. I can't have her kids out all night. I thought of going back to the hospital but she needed her rest. I only had one option. Chris.

"Fuck!" I yelled getting back in the car. This is crazy, I hate that nigga but he's literally the only other person I can trust at this point.

I sighed slowly pulling out the car. I was not tryna go to jail tonight. I have gotten better tho.

Thirty minutes later I pulled into his huge driveway and got out getting the kids who had woken up.

"C'mon lil man." I said grabbing his hand. I really needed to learn their names.

"We walked up to his porch and before I could knock he answered. He looked from me to the babies back to me.

"I really need your help...."
