Love Me Tomorrow

Chapter 18

Keira

       

         Trey walked with me back to my dorm. I laid my head on his shoulder as we were walking. "I really hate leaving you." Trey said as we stood in front of my door. "We should go out to dinner tomorrow." I suggested. "I'll see after practice." Trey responded.

         As I was opening my door, Trey kept staring at me and I lifted an eyebrow. "You wanna come inside?" I ask. Trey had the biggest smirk on his face as he stepped inside.

         "Oh shit! Keira!" I heard Trey said as I closed the door. Then I noticed it too. I saw the blood and an unconscious Charice laying with blood all over her.

        "Charice." I got on the ground and tried to see if she had a pulse. "Call an ambulance!" I demanded. Trey pulled out his phone and began dialing. Charice still had an pulse, but she was hardly breathing. Who would do this?

Trey

  

          I drove Keira to the hospital. I wasn't as concerned about Charice as Keira was but I needed to be supportive for my girl.

       "I know people hate her, but still to try to kill her though?"

      "Maybe it was Darius. I know they broke up and he's been very upset." I mentioned.

     "Darius wouldn't try to kill her." I could see how panicked Keira was. I hated seeing her like this. I gave her a kiss as we entered the hospital.

       As Keira was asking the nurse about Charice's whereabouts, I noticed him, Evan Edwards.

       What is he doing here in Miami? I hadn't seen Evan and the last time we saw each other and we weren't on good terms. Keira lead me into the waiting room. I hope Evan doesn't see us.

         I placed my hand on Keira's shaking thigh. "Stay calm, Charice will be okay." "I guess you're right. I'll go get us something to drink." Keira said getting up.

Ashlee

         Another call from Malik I ignored. I'm so tired of all this. Malik hasn't stopped calling since we had sex. He's probably afraid I'll tell his girlfriend about him cheating.

         In the back of my mind, I want her to find out, but then I don't want to see him hurt in any type of way. My phone vibrated and it was a text from Keira. Charice is in the hospital!

          As I hurried out of my dorm, Malik was outside and he stopped me. "Ashlee, why haven't you answered my calls?" He asked me. I wouldn't answer as I tried hurrying away from him.

        "Ash, talk to me!" Malik grabbed my wrist and yanked me towards him. "Let me go!" I yelled. "No! You're going to talk to me!" "I can't! Leave me alone." I began walking away again leaving Malik behind.

Keira

             As I held my cup as the machine was pouring the hot chocolate, I felt someone creep up behind me. The person wrapped their arms around my waist startling me! I ended up spilling my hot chocolate all over.

           "Keira." He said kissing my shoulder. He sure isn't Trey. "Evan, what the fuck are you doing here?" "Why are you here?" "None of your business." I grabbed new cups and poured more hot chocolate. Evan leaned on the counter looking straight at me.

          "Keira, be honest tell me why you're here." Evan said. "You don't even know her. Besides why are you here?" I replied. "Have you forgotten, my Uncle Scottie lives here in Miami. Me and his family are here cause his daughter had to have suregry. Now tell me about this girl you're here for." I rolled my eyes, "Fine, my roommate Charice I guess got beat up and we found her and now I'm here to see if she's going to be okay."

          Evan's eyes widened as he responded, "Wait, Charice is your roommate? And we?" "How do you know Charice?" I questioned. "And who is we?"

       Before I could say something, Ashlee saw me. "Keira, what happened to Charice?" Ashlee ask as she saw me with Evan. "I though you were with Trey?" "Trey? Trey Carruth? What are you doing with him?" Evan ask folding his arms. I ignored him and grabbed Ashlee and began walking to Trey.

         "Who is he?" Ashlee asked me. "Don't worry about him, he's nothing." I informed her as we approached Trey and the doctor. "Are you all family of Charice Barnes?" The doctor asked. "We're her roommates, we don't know how to contact her family." I replied. "Well her family is needed because things aren't looking good for Charice." The doctor told us.

         We all gave each other looks. "I'm sorry, what do you mean?" Ashlee said.

     "Well Charice received blows to the head and she was significant brain damage. And when you have brain damage you aren't getting any oxygen." The doctor explained.

      "Is she on life support?" I asked. "Yes, and because you aren't family you cannot make the decision to pull the plug. We will attempt to make contact with the family." The doctor replied before walking away.

            I instantly began crying. I couldn't believe this was happening. Charice has to make it! Trey wrapped his arms around me, "Everything will be okay baby. Charice is strong she will make it through." Trey kissed my cheek.

        As tears fell down my cheek, I was in denial,Charice won't make it this time. Soon my phone vibrated and it was a Google Alert and it was about my dad,

        'Sports caster and football legend, Ken Lansing arrested by Chicago Police for driving under the influence. Lansing was arrested after being relased by an area hospital. He had sustained injuries after getting into an accident on Michigan Avenue, downtown Chicago.'

         Is there anything else that can go wrong?
