My Love In The Wrong Hands

Chapter 35

Jordan POV

We sat in the ER for another 4 hours before the doctor came back and said she needed a blood transfusion because  she lost a lot of blood during the surgery. Her father was the first to step forward and do it. Not that one else didn't want to, he just beat us to it.
So now we are just waiting for Dr. Braxton to come back and give us another update.

It's been another 3 hours since then. So hopefully they will let us know what's going on soon. Julian, Shay, and Alayah left. Julian wanted to take Shay home so she could get some rest for the baby sake. Layah had to go to work but I promised to let him all know when she was up so we could see her.

I look down at my phone after hearing it ring to see a text message from Kenzie.

💉Mackenzie💯: Why Lyric ass not texting me back ? I mean I know y'all busy but damn, it's like that tho 👌🏾😎😴😂 I texted her twice last night 😔

Me: Lyric was shot yesterday afternoon Ken. I've been at the hospital all night with her family. We waiting to get an update on her now.

💉Mackenzie💯:Why you just now saying something ? 😡✋🏽 What hospital ? I'm on my way.

Me: Washington, but just wait till tomorrow after she's well rested. I come get you.

💉Mackenzie💯: Are you sure ? I can just get on metro and come now .

Me: I'm sure.

💉Mackenzie💯: Okay but keep me posted Jordan.

Me: I will.

I put my phone back into my pocket. When I looked up I seen Lyric's Doctor coming out. "So I have good and bad news for you all." He said walking up to us.

"Can we get the good news first ?" Lyric's mom asked standing up as we all followed suit.

"We have her stable. She is conscious and comfortable. Which is excellent."

"Thank you God ." Lyric's mother said hugging her husband.

"Then what's the bad news ?" I asked bracing myself for the worst.

"Well like I was telling everyone before she can't speak. She will have to go through speech therapy for a month or two. It really depends on her and the effort she's willing to put in to get back to normal. She can still hear and understand you all fine, she just can't respond verbally. So we gave her a pen and a pad because the police will be by later on to question her about who did this and why this happened to her."

"If you don't mind me asking what exactly happened for her to have to learn to speak again ?" Lyric's mom asked.

"She has what we call vocal cord paralysis. It happens when the nerve impulses of your larynx are damaged or disrupted. The paralysis is causing her speech to be impaired but like I said with speech and voice therapy she will be back to normal before you know it."

"Can we see her ?" Rylie asked what we all were probably wondering .

"Yes but you all please take it easy on her. Remember not to rush her with questions ."

"Okay." We all said.

"Go straight back and take the elevator on your left hand side up to the third floor. When you get off keep going straight. Her room number is C309 ."

We thanked him then made our way up. I texted both Layah and Shay about the update that we just received .

Lyric POV

I was laying back on the bed resting my eyes. My mind kept replaying the shooting over and over. I really wanted nothing more then just to sleep at this moment. I heard the door crack. I assumed it was one of the nurses but I opened my eyes to see it was my family and Jordan.

"I'm so happy your okay baby girl." My dad said kissing my forehead.

" Me to." My mom whispered taking my hand in hers and giving it a squeeze. I could tell she been crying. Shoot knowing her she started crying the moment she heard what happened and been crying ever since. "You look so drained. My poor baby."

"Alright baby. Let her breathe. Let's go sit down." My dad said. She gave me kiss before sitting down.

All my brothers came over and gave me a hug and kiss before taking a seat. Rylie seem spaced out but he didn't speak on it. I watched as Jordan slowly walked over to me.

He kissed my lips softly before saying "I love you." It hurt so bad hearing him say that. Because I knew he meant it and now that I wanted to say it. I physically couldn't.

Bringing me out of my thoughts the door open. In walked a older white male dressed in a suit. He must be the one coming to question me .

"Hi, I'm officer Anthony. I'm here to ask you some questions so we can get you some justice and put whoever did this to you behind bars." I put my thumb up in understanding. I was ready to put Rell ass in jail.

" Is it okay for them to remain in the room while i question you ?" He asked. I wrote yes. I would've nodded but my neck was in excruciating pain. Jordan got a chair and brought it next to my bed.

"You okay ?" Jordan asked. I wrote down yes and showed him.

" Do you know who did this to you ?" I wrote yes.

"Can you write it down for us ?" I wrote yes again. He handed me the note pad and I wrote down exactly who it was.

"If I'm correct this says Rell Wood ." I showed him yes as tears started to form in my eyes.

"Don't cry baby girl." My mother said wiping my tears away.

"Well that will do it for right now Ms. King. I will do everything in my power to catch him, so that you can live in peace when you get out of here."

After her left I noticed everyone was just watching me. It was as if they were waiting for me to break. No one was saying anything. I know I can't talk but damn. This shit is making me want to scream and it's all my fault.

I have no one to blame but ME !
