Better Dayz: Lil Herb

Better Dayz: Chapter 23 (Part 2)

Herb Point of View

My mama came back over to us and started to tell us what the doctor told her.

I hope this lil boy good. My fuckin son.

"Y'all..." She sighed.

I swear I can't take no more bad news. That's all I ever get. If some happen to my son Ima go crazy.

"The doctor said he was our miracle baby. He pulled through." She finished.

Everybody sighed and I just leaned back in my chair and thanked God.

"Can I go see him?" I asked.

"Yeah. If you want to?" She said and gave me the room number right after.

Everybody was talkin to each other and I reached over and pulled Tia to the back with me.

We ain't say nothin on the way to the room but when we got in there Shay was already sittin on the bed with King while he slept.

"He's still sleep from medication they gave him." She said once she saw me just staring.

I was just happy that my boy was still here.

He had a burn mark on his left arm almost to his shoulder.

When I was about to reply to her, the doctor walked in to talk to us.

"This little boy is a strong fighter." She started to talk.

We all nodded.

"Now. He has a couple burns that should go away after a couple weeks as long as you use the cream. But the one on his arm, may or may not, it just depends on time." She said writing some on her clipboard.

I zoned her out. I ain't really worried bout what she sayin as long as King good, I'm good.

**

After we left the hospital we all went back to my crib. King had to stay for a few days but the doctor said he good and just need some rest so we left so he could sleep. Shay went home I guess, she ain't come to my house.

It was gettin late and I was gettin irritated cause I ain't smoked all day. That shit is stressful dude.

"What's goin on in here?" I asked when I walked back in the livin room and seen Kyro all up on my lil sister.

"Whatchu mean?" Kyro laughed.

"Ain't shit funny. Get yo hands off her."

"Quit cappin. They like each other." Mally laughed.

"Yeah allat shorty." Kyro kept laughin.

"Allat my ass." I said laughin a lil too.

"Herb shut tf up. Leave them alone. And quit all that damn cussin in my house." I heard my mama yell.

"Ma. Look at them." I said serious.

"I don't say nothin when you be in here with all yo lil random hoes."

All the boys started laughin. Ain't shit funny. They all lame asf.

"Merch you don't?" I said.

"That's all yo yellow ass know how to say? All I hear all day is 'Merch it' and 'big Merch'. If you don't sit yo illiterate ass down somewhere." She kept goin on and on.
