Tears filled my eyes as that question ran out of my daughter's mouth.

"No, baby. Mommy's going to be fine." I said as I ran my fingers threw her hair.

The Next Morning

After I ran Jazmine to school, I came back to check on Nia. When I walked in the room she was writing in a thick scapbook.

"What are you doing?" I asked her softly.

"Making a "How To Live" book for Jazmine. I've been making it ever since I found out I was pregnant with her." She said awkwardly.

The way she spoke was off. She was a completely different person. All of her liveliness was gone, out the window.

"So Nia ..." I said to her innocent face.

"Don't bring it up. Don't think just because I not here, that I'm not here." She said smiling.

"What?" I asked back curiosity.

"What?" She said back angrily with a frown on her face and evil eyes.

"Nia are you okay?" I said as I reached my hand out to touch her face.

"Are you oh fucking kay, you women beater! Do you remember these?!" She said as she pulled down her shirt showing me her bruises. "How. Could. You." She sang.

"I'm sorry!" I said to her. Feeling very sad. But really scared at the same time. "Baby, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay." She said calmy and sweetly.

I knew it had to be the medicine. It just had to be. After a while she ended falling asleep, peacefully. And eventually the doctor walked in.

"So how's she been doing?" The doctor asked me.

"Personality changes. A lot of them." I said jokingly.

"Well that hasn't been a known symptom but it should were off by the time she wakes up." He said shifting through some papers

"Alright then." I said, just brushing it off.

"May I speak to my husband alone please?" Nia said waking up out of no where.

"Oh, uh yes ma'am. I'll be back in a few." The doctor said as he walked out the door.

"Hey, baby. What do you need?" I said sweetly.

"Alex, you know I love you. And I know that wasn't you last night."

I got on my knees and kissed her hand.

"Nia I love you so much." I told her honestly.

"I know, that's why I'm asking you this question," She paused and looked at the book that sat on her lap.

"Kill me, Alex. Please."
