Love Lost

I

Kayla

I steered in my sleep tossing and turning. I felt the space next to me only to find it empty. I sat up in my king sized bed looking around the big room then to the alarm clock that read 3:00.

Either something was wrong or Jamal was damn near crazy to even try step foot up in here after 2:00 Am. But the feeling in my gut was telling me something wasn't right.

On que my phone started ringing. I reached over on the night stand grabbing it and slide the answer bar over.

"Hello?"

"K-ka-"

"Jasmine baby I can't here you" I said talking to Jamal younger sister.

"He-he I-" Jasmine fumbled choked up.

"What's wrong?" I asked getting a uneasy feeling.

"C-c-come to M-m-ercy" Jasmine said before the call disconnected.

Automatically thinking the worst I jumped up and threw on some sweat pants, a big t-shirt and my nike slides. I didn't bother removing my bonnet. I grabbed my car keys and purse before dashing out the door.

I hopped in my car and begin speeding all the way to the hospital. I got there under less than 10 mins and parked in the parking lot.

Walking in the entrance I noticed Jamal, Uncle Benny "Uncle Benny?" I asked getting his attention.

He looked in my direction his eyes poofy and red from crying. He gave me a forced smile and brought me into a hug.

"Whats going on?" I asked as he lead me towards the elevator. He didn't answer instead he pressed four and watched as the doors closed.

We stepped off and ended up in the shock trauma section where all of Jamal family and friends was there waiting. It was only one questions, where was Jamal?

"Hey what's going on? What happened ?" I asked walking up to Ms Pamela Jamal mother.

She looked at me with her tear stained face and just like Uncle Benny gave me a forced smile. "Hey baby" She whispered.

"What's going on? Where's Jamal?" I asked after I looked around and didn't see him.

Ms Pamela didn't answer she only looked away. I looked towards Manny Jamal bestfriend and asked the same question "Manny where is Jamal?"

Manny looked at me sympathetically before shaking his head and looking out the window.

Why the fuck is no one answering me!

"Jasmine?" I asked looking over at her.

"Kayla, Jamal got s-shot" Jasmine said tears coming to her eyes.

"W-w-what?" I asked in disbelief looking around the crowded waiting area. "But he's okay right?" I asked as my tears blurred my vision.

"We don't know yet baby, where waiting on the Doctor now" Ms Pamela spoke while she rubbed her hand up and down my arm.

"Family of Jamal Jackson?" A tall pale man asked with a white lap coat on. He looked to be in his mid forties.

"That's us!" Uncle Benny called while everyone stood to there feet.

The doctor looked around at the awaiting faces. Ready to deliver the news everyone been waiting for. "unfortunately we weren't able to stop the bleeding, and Jamal bled out...he didn't make it. I'm so sorry for your lost" he said making the room go up in chaos.

The tears ran down my face like a river non stop while I dropped to my knees in pure agony.

"Why Lord! Why? Please tell me this is just a dream please God please just bring back my baby! God! what am I gonna do without you Jamal! Please!" I cried
