Love And Pain {Jacquees}

Chapter 16

Jacquees' Pov:

I Was Awoke But Not Fully. I Heard People Coming In And Out. I Already Knew I Was In A Coma. Its Been A Few Days. After I Got Shot, The First Thing I Said Was That I Disappointed Ming. For A Couple Of Day People Were Coming By, I Heard My Mom, Sister, My Cousins Issa, Boakie And A Few Other People.

There Was Nothing For Me To Do But Lay Here. I Know The Tv Was On Cause I Could Hear It.

"Man, You Know You Fucked Up Right?" I Heard My Cousin Issa Say.

Great Words Of Encouragement I Thought To Myself.

"Ming Is Really Upset. She Hasn't Been Eating Or Sleeping. Mama Rosie Is Upset And Miracle And Agyei Can't Stop Crying."

If I Could Tell Him To Shut Up, I Would. He Was Making Me Feel Bad.

"Oh Yeah And Ming Got Fired From Her Job Yesterday Cause She Wasn't Showing Up."

Well Damn, Ming Didn't Tell Me That When She Was Here Earlier. When Ming Talks To Me Most Of The Time Im Trying To Reply But It All Only Happening In My Head. I Try So Hard, Just For Her.

"Man, You Need To Wake Yo Punk Ass Up" Issa Said, Laughing, Trying To Make Light Of The Situation. I Laughed To Myself.

"Nigga If I Could I Would."

"Its Crazy I Never Thought Of You Being Here Like This"

"Me Neither."

I Heard A Knock Followed By Some Foot Steps. I Knew Those Light Little Fast Steps. Ming.

"Hey Ming" Issa Said.

"Hey E, How's He Doing?"

"Im Assuming He Aight, His Line Aint Went Flat"

"Man Dont Say Shit Like That To Her Dumb Ass"

I Could Hear Her Walk Up To Me After Listening To Issa Walk Out. She Took My Hand Into Hers. My Mind Started Racing.

"Why The Hell Didn't You Tell Me You Lost Your Job, I Hope You're Not Harming Yourself. Please Tell Me Your Eating And Slee-"

"Que Baby Please Wake Up. I Need You, I Love You."

My Heart Skipped A Beat. Literally. You Could Hear It On The Heart Monitor. Ming Chuckled.

"Did That Make You Happy?" She Asked

Got A Nigga Over Here Blushing And Shit. I Felt Her Squeeze My Hand A Little, Then Release A Little.

"Listen, When You Get Out Of Here Imma Take Care Of You, But You Got To Promise Me Something...Rodriguez You Have To Get Off The Streets. Ion Like Seeing You Like This." She Sniffled Indicating She Had Started Crying.

I Wish This Shit Hadn't Have Happened. If It Didn't Id Be Someone Holding Her And Loving Her Right Now But Because Of Me Trying To Save Jay Jay, Im Here. And Apparently They Shot Him Up Anyway.

"You Know, I Uh Lost My Job, But Its Cool, Imma Look For Another One." She Said In A Quiet Nonchalant Tone. "..I Moved Some Of My Stuff Into Your House, I Hope Thats Okay."
