Come Back to Reality

Chapter 66:

**Chris's POV

When I asked about Robyn to the lady, I heard Crystal's breath get caught up. I couldn't care less right now because Robyn's situation is more serious. I'm fucking FURIOUS at her.

"Please wait in the waiting room. We don't know her condition exactly, but we know that she's in SICU."

I sat down and Crys sat beside me, leaning on my shoulder and holding my hand because she knew that I was frustrated.

"Crystal. I'm about to go to the bathroom. Let me know when the doctors come out."

"Ok."

We kissed each other's lips and I left.

*****Crystal's POV

I don't know what happened, all I know is that it's SERIOUS. This shit hit Chris hard.

"Family of Robyn."

I didn't notice there were more people here for her, but we all stood around the doctor.

"The baby didn't make it and Robyn is in ICU. Right now, she's in a vegetative coma. She's been revived twice and it is a small chance that she'll make it through. The bullet went clean through her abdomen with some tissue damage. When she was shot, she had a hard fall which brought on a concussion that led to a coma."

People all around me were crying. I felt bad, but what could I do?

After a while, Chris came back more calm. I whispered the news to him and he walked out of the hospital. He really wanted the baby. He didn't really care about Robyn.

*Ring, Ring*

"Crystal. Come on outside. We're about to go." He hung up and I went to the car.

The whole ride was silent and slow.

"What happ--"

"I REALLY don't feel like talking."

We were at his house because I left my car here. I didn't leave right away. I stayed in the house with him. He was upstairs and I was down.

*Ring, Ring*

Aubrey: "Crystal. Did you hear about Robyn? What happened?"

"She lost the baby and is in a coma. She might not make it."

"........."

"She was got herself into some trouble and faced the consequences."

"Alright. I'm about to go. Bye."

"I love you."

He hung up without answering me back. How sweet.

"CHRIS! I'M ABOUT TO LEAVE!"

He texted me "Ok."

To Chris: Be safe. No regrets.

I left the house and was on my way home when India called.

"Crystal! You heard about Roby--"

"YEAH! I HEARD! Damn. It's stressing me out! I always have to be there for other people! I just want ALL the drama to stop. I seem greedy for attention while someone is fighting for their life, but right now, I HONESTLY don't care!"

"Come over here."

"No. I might tomorrow, but for now, I just want to be alone."

"Ok. I guess that I'll talk to you later."

"India. I'm sorry for yelling, but everything is either not my fault or raising my blood pressure."

"It's okay. Just relax. Aubrey and your baby are gonna be here before you know it. Just hang on."

"I need a smoke. Do you have some weed?"

"I know where Mike keeps his. Come over if you want."

"I'm on my way."

****

I was up all night. When Michael came home, I was hitting again from left to right.

Soon, they were both sleep and I was by myself. I wasn't even gonna try to make the trip home, so I watched tv on the couch the whole time.

Around 10:00 am, I heard India moaning and screaming and the headboard bumping the wall, so I went outside.

About 3 hours later, India came downstairs. She was gonna closed the backyard door, but then she saw me.

"CRYSTAL! How long you've been here?"

"All night. I can't sleep at all. Can you pick Alliyah up later on?"

"Where at?"

"Pop's."

"Yeah. You wanna come, too?"

"No. I just want to sleep. I'm about to go home so pick Alli up whenever you want."

"Ok."

****India's POV

Crystal looked a hot MESS! She's OBVIOUSLY stressed and needs help. Her eyes were baggy and had dark circles around them like she haven't slept in a while. I kind of don't trust her by herself.

"Wait. Crystal."

"Huh?"

"Sleep good and stay safe. You sure you don't need me to drop you off?"

Tears started to stream down her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

She sniffed and gave me a reassuring smile. "Everything."

"Sleep it off then see how you feel."

"I CAN'T sleep. I can't think straight. I can't do all this anymore."

"It's gonna get better. I promise. Keep your head up."

"I'm trying, but the more I raise up my chin to see, the view isn't worth having anymore."

"TY! IM GOING SOMEWHERE."

He came downstairs in only boxers. Skinny ass nigga.

"Where you going?"

"With my sister."

"Iight. Bye, Crystal."

We left and I drove over to her house. We kept our phones on silent and she went to sleep laying down on me.

My inspiration needs some inspiring.
