Chapter 45

Tae cried for close to an hour before she passed out in Drake's arms. He let her cry, he let her scream, he let her cuss and hit him. He realized that Tae never truly got to let everything out. For the simple fact that she didn't talk about, therefore she didn't accept the miscarriage for what it was. She kept everything in and bottled up, and Drake was no longer having it. He would no longer sit and watch his women hurt this much.

Drake sat on the floor holding onto Tae's body for dear life, he himself had lost track of time. He rocked back and forth, one hand on the back of her head, the other wrapped around her waist. He had been staring at the wall for 20 minutes before he realized it was 3am and Tae was completely passed out. She laid limp in his arms, safe, and comfortable. He cradled her as he stood to his feet, he laid her on the bed and folded one of the blankets over her body.

Drake walked around the bed to the reclining chairs in his room, he sat down watching Tae as she slept, he watched her breathing, the small twitches of her fingers, the slight moan she released when she moved. Drake had never experienced this. Ever. This was something completely new to him. He had never had feelings this strong for women. There were women that lasted longer than others, women that he still kept in touch with, women that he still cares for, women that he went through emotionally and mentally changing things with, but this, this was life-changing, he'd forever be attached with this women. Even when the others finally do cease to exist.

He finally stood up and walked to his bed, he slowly crawled in it making sure not to disturb her, Tae was heavily sleeping, the energy that she put into the breakdown completely drained her. She sunk in the bed laying there like a rock. Drake wrapped an arm around Tae's waist and breathed in the scent of her hair until he eventually passed out.

Cold air hit Drake's face from the air vents above his bed. His eyes fluttered open but he immediately looked down to see if Tae was still next to him. She laid in the same spot he left her in, still passed out, watermarks stained her cheeks, yet she looked so peaceful. Drake slid from his bed and made his way down the hall to the kitchen. Chubbs and OB sat having a conversation about ESPN running a certain play from a baseball game from last night.

"Good afternoon beautiful." his friend OB mockingly said batting his eyelashes at Drake, as a laugh came from Chubbs mouth.

"Shut up... You gotta start saying no homo after shit like that." Drake said in a groggy voice, rubbing his eyes. He grabbed a bottled water from the fridge cracking the lid open. He tilted his head back taking large gulps of the water.

"I set a flight for Tae's mom and sister, I'ma pick them up from the airport in a few hours." Chubbs said as he scrolled through his phone. Drake downed the water, then went to grab another from the fridge.

"Alright, good good, thank you." Drake replied opening the second bottle of water.

"How she doing?" OB asked, this time his face serious, his voice with genuine concern. OB was a character, a clown, but he knew when and when not to be one. His personality was big, but he knew when it was time to be serious and drawback.

"She's fine, she'll be better once her mom and sister get here though, think she needs them a little more than she needs me right now." He said answering his friend then downing the second water. ON shook his head in agreement. He walked to the trash and threw both bottles away.

"She just tired of looking at yo ass all day, that's all." OB said under his breath, his voice full of sarcasm. Drake frowned as he flung one of the bottled water caps at his friend hitting him in the side of the neck.
