Hold U Down

Chapter 13|Hurricane Nina

Cam in the media...
Keira-

The drive to the hospital was silent, Nina was still pissed at me. After the smack down, no pun intended, grams demanded I bring her here to see her baby.

I felt bad, of course I did, but at this point there was nothing I could do to change things or make them better. I wish there was though, I wish I could take it all back.

I wish I could go back to three months ago when Mel first went into hiding from Tye. I wish I'd never started working for him. I wish that I didn't do any of the shit that I've done in the past year, if Mel knew the half she'd kill me herself.

But it was all for the money, and one thing us N.O.L.A folks don't play about, is our money. By any means necessary, we gotta get that paper, whether it means somebody gotta die or not.

After an intense 10 minute ride, I finally pulled up to the hospital.

Grams' home aid nurse helped her out the car after I put it in park. I decided to wait to go in, I wanted to give her some space.

You're a coward. My conscience said, rather harshly I might add.

I ran my hands down my face, I just can't bring myself to face her, to face what I've done.

I sat deep in my thoughts for a good ten minutes until my phone started ringing, pulling me out.

"Hello?" I answered not bothering to check the caller I.D.

"K-Keira?" A weak voice spoke from the other line.

"Cam?" I asked, a little confused as to why she would be calling me.

Mel.

"I told you to take care of her." She stated bluntly, my heart dropped.

"I-I know... Tye.. he j-... I know. I'm sorry." i stuttered, nothing i said could justify what I'd done. I knew that much.

"I'm on my way to Georgia. I'll be there in the morning." She said before hanging up.

I bit my lip harshly, surprised I didn't draw blood.

Melanie's Ex Girlfriend is coming back to the states.

I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed deeply, I need to leave. I need to pack up my shit and make a run for it. That's what Mel would tell me.

'You was ballsy enough to do the shit, now you need to face what you've done. And then run, run as fast as you can and don't look back. Cause when I catch you bitch, you're gonna wish you were dead.' Her voice rang inside my head. Those were the exact words she said to Cameron before she packed up her shit and left the country.

Mel's wrath wasn't one to play with.

I took a deep breath and turned off the car, taking the key out of the ignition. I opened the door and climbed out. Guess it's time to face what I'd done.

I walked through the hospital doors, an eerie feeling taking over as I did so. I went up to the front desk, about to ask about Mel when I heard an old woman shouting.
