Isobel
I was fucking pissed. I was no fool, so if somebody told me that somebody who was close to me was tryna kill me I would listen and see its true. I been in this house for two weeks and Ray won't leave me alone dammit! If he leaves for one day I can do some sniffing around and see wassup. He said he was 'looking' but I knew he wasn't. I was starting to get pissed. "Ray?" I called. I planned on him leaving the house for a few hours so I can meet up with my sources. "Yeah?" He asked. "Can you go to the store again? I made you a list of stuff I need." I said. "Alright where is it?" Ray asked. I took the list out and gave it to him. "Damn girl." Ray said, looking at the list. "I need all of that. If you don't find everything at one store then go to another store. I don't care how long it takes I want everything on that list Ray." I said seriously. "Okay I'll get it now." Ray said. He put his shoes on and left. I smiled and went upstairs to get dressed. The doorbell rang so I opened the door. "Craig? Rebecca? Why are you here?" I asked. "Damn no need to be rude." Craig laughed. "Ray made us stay here with you so you won't go find Chresanto and Felicity." Rebecca said. "DAMMIT!" I yelled. "How in the hell did he know!?" I exclaimed. "He knows you Isobel." Craig said and they walked inside. "Fml." I said and Rebecca laughed. "We can drown in our misery together." Rebecca smiled and I nodded. "Yay! I mean damn." Rebecca smiled then she frowned. I giggled. "Its like that nigga don't trust me." I said. "He don't because he know you be sneaking out when he not around. He not stupid Isobel. And you pregnant too? Of course he's not gonna trust you alone pregnant." Craig said and I frowned at him. "Whatever." I said. "Don't get a attitude with me because I'm telling you wassup. He just tryna make sure you okay." Craig said softly. "I'm always ok." I said. He laughed. "You a mess." Craig said. "Well can I go see my daddy?" I asked. "Sure." Craig said. I got my car keys and drove to the hospital.
"Hi daddy." I said. "Hey baby girl." Daddy smiled at me. "If I die I want you to know I'm gonna be there for you. Imma be in heaven watching over ya'll." Daddy told me. "Okay." I said. "Hey Bel!" Mr. Bates, his roommate exclaimed. "Wassup? How you feeling?" I asked him with a smile. "A lil better but I don't care. I'm already old so I'll die eventually." Mr. Bates said. "Mr. Bates don't be talking like that. You better be living when I see ya'll tommorrow." I said. "If I am I will be so disappointed in myself." He laughed. "You should be proud of yourself for living another day, not disappointed." I said. "All my family up there though. They waiting on me to die." Mr. Bates said. "They want you to live the rest of your life happily until God calls you home." I said. "Hows the boys? Imma watch over ya'll too." Mr. Bates changed the subject. "Good, they moving around in my stomach alot." I said. He nodded. "Alright I can't stay for long because Ray doesn't know that I'm here." I said to them. "Who cares about what that nigga says? Stay." Mr. Bates said and I laughed. "Alright maybe for another hour." I glanced at the clock. "No stay until visiting hours are over!" Mr. Bates insisted. "Okay okay." I giggled. "Woo hoo!" Daddy exclaimed and reached over to give Mr. Bates dap. "Fight the power!" They exclaimed and I laughed.
I stayed with them until nine, which was when visiting hours are over. Craig and Ray was blowing up my phone but I didn't care because my dad needed me. I'll just explain to them when I get home. "Alright take care of yourself!" Daddy said as I got my stuff. "I will." I said. "You stay alive." I said and he laughed. "Okay." Daddy chuckled. "You too Mr. Bates." I said. "Call me Harold. And I'll try." He said. "Are you sure? I don't wanna be disrespectful." I said. "Its fine. Call me Harold." He said. "Okay, night ya'll." I said and I walked out their room. I went to my car and got in. I took my phone out and called Craig back. "Hello?" I said. "Isobel! Where the hell are you?" Craig exclaimed. "I'm on my way back." I said calmly. "Alright we'll talk when you're here." Craig said and I hung up. "Niggas stay tripping like something is wrong." I said to myself. I drove back home.
"Isobel babe!" Ray exclaimed, hugging me once I got inside. "Whats the problem? Ya'll blowing my phone up like somebody died while I was at the hospital." I said. "From four to nine o clock?!" Craig exclaimed. "Yes Craig. Do you want to see my ticket that I had to pay fifteen dollars for?" I asked with a attitude. "Yes I do." Craig crossed his arms. I took the slip out of my pocket and gave it to him. He looked at it and smiled sheepishly. "Oh." Craig said. "Mhm." I said and went upstairs. "I'm just glad that your ok." Ray said, following me. "I'm always okay Ray." I said. "I'm not sure with yo crazy ass." He laughed, wrapping his arms around me. I heard the door close downstairs. "C'mon lets go to bed." Ray smiled, leading me to the bed. "But Ray I needa change." I said. "Alright." Ray said, and I went to the closet to get my PJs. I put them on and I sat on the bed. Ray jumped up and ran to the bathroom. I waited for him to finish throwing up. "Ugh." Ray said once he came back. "See all this stuff I do for you? I'm even doing all this pregnant shit. I be falling asleep while standing sometimes too." Ray said and I laughed at him. "Haha." I giggled. He crawled into bed with me and wrapped his arms around me. "I love you." Ray said. "Love you too." I said, kissing him. "Thank you," I said softly. "For what?" Ray asked. "For accepting all my flaws and staying with me. I must be difficult as hell sometimes to you and you're still here. You're never mad at me, you're always understanding and concerned. Thank you." I said. "You don't need to thank me. That's my job." Ray smiled. He truly loves me. I don't know why but he does. "You blessed me with having my children. Thank you." Ray said and I could tell I had a Kool Aid smile on my face. "Can I.." Ray trailed off, sticking his hand in my underwear. "Okay." I said and he got on top of me, smirking.
