Meek's POV

It was dinner time and we had now been in the hospital for over two days. 51 hours to be exact that Nicki was still giving me the cold shoulder. I know she has a valid reason, but it was fucking with my head heavy.

Meek: "Baby, you hungry? I know you don't want this hospital food. Tell me what you want and I'll go get it...whatever you want princess."

Nicki: "I'm fine Meek," she said with her back turned to me.

Meek: "Onika, baby. This is breaking my heart."

Nicki: "Is my broken heart of no concern? You know what, when that bullet went through my chest...that pain was nothing compared to when I walked in and saw you cheating on me. Just go away Meek. Leave me alone."

I got up and walked out of the room, leaving the hospital. I got in my car and headed to get some food.

By the time I came back, Nicki's mom and brothers were there.

"I'm out," Jelani said as soon as he caught eye contact with me.

"Me too. Get well Nika. We'll be back tomorrow," her mom said as her, Jelani, and Caiah walked out, not acknowledging me at all.

I shook my head and sat Nicki's food on her tray as I sat in the chair next to her eating my own food. Nicki's phone rang and she answered.

I continued eating as she conversed with someone about what happened.

"Yeah, he right here," she said with an attitude. I looked up at her and continued eating. "Oh no, I'm calling the movers tomorrow so I need you to be there to tell them what's mine and allow them access into your house."

I closed my container of food and stood up. "You can't leave me Nic. Please. I can't be without you."

Nicki: "Let me call you back Sherika." she said before she hung up the phone. "You no longer get the opportunity to tell me what I can and can not do."

I sighed and rubbed my hand over my face.

Meek: "What can I do to fix this? Tell me what you want me to do and I will do it...I swear."

Nicki: "What I want you to do is get out of here and don't come back. My stuff will be out tomorrow."

Meek: "I'm not letting my fiancé leave. That shit is out of the question. We are going to fix--"

Nicki: "No, WE are not doing anything. And I longer wish to be your fiancé," she whispered while taking the ring off her finger.

Meek: "No Nicki ! You promised you wouldn't take it off.."

Nicki: "...and YOU promised you wouldn't hurt me," she said placing the ring on the table. "Do you realize what you have put me through? Just leave now. We can go our separate ways. Hey, at least we weren't married when you cheated...leaving is so much easier."

Meek: "I'm not leaving. We have to finish discussing what we're going to do with the baby...what method you're going to take."

Nicki: "That no longer concerns you. We aren't married so you don't have a say so."

Meek: "Fuck you mean I don't have a say so. That was my baby too!" I yelled clenching my jaw. "That was my baby too," I repeated putting my head down. "You don't think I'm sad...you're not the only one hurting. That was my baby too," I said before letting the tears blur my sight. "Our baby," I stated before sitting down and wiping my eyes.
