Mrs.Devante Swing

that sounds like Marvin Gaye!

Pilar pov:

I woke up the next morning. sore from the surgery. I had my ribs fixed, and my abdomen was bleeding on the inside, so the blood profusely came out of my vagina. leading me to feel faint while I was in the police car last night. I almost died.

-Nurse Johnson comes in-

Nurse Johnson: well ma'am, I am off duty. I will see you later tonight. okay?

Pilar: okay. thanks for everything.

Nurse Johnson: oh, by the way, Dr. Jones left. She'll be back tonight as well.

Pilar: alright.

-Nurse Johnson leaves and I rest my eyes for a few minutes.-

DeVante pov:

I go to the studio with the rest of JoDeCi, and theres no sign of Pilar. I see Andre, and I go straight to him.

Devante: ay andre, where's Pilar? I haven't seen her since the video shoot.

Andre: she's in the hospital.

Devante: WHAT!?

Andre: her mother called this morning. apparently, Pilar's boyfriend beat her last night.

Devante: well what hospital is she in?

Andre: shes in Lower Manhattan Hospital.

-Devante turns to look at Jo-jo, K-ci and Dalvin-

Devante: WE GOTTA GO TO THE HOSPITAL!

jo-jo: what's going on?

Devante: Pilar's in the hospital. Eazy beat her last night.

Kc-I: are you serious? look De, you go ahead and be with her. we gonna stay here and do some work.

Devante: ard.

-Devante hurries out of the building-

Pilar pov:

I hear a knock on the door, so I tell the person to come in.

Devante: oh my gosh! (stays by the door, looking at her with shock.)

Pilar: how did you know I was here?

Devante: Andre told me. how- how are you? (still standing by the door.)

Pilar: I'm better than last night. why are you acting like that? come sit next to me.

Devante: I just don't like seeing you like this.

Pilar: I don't either. so come over here.

Devante: um.. well, I think I should jus (Gets cut off)

Pilar: GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW! SIT NEXT TO ME PLEASE!

Devante: (walks over to her bed.) you don't look like yourself. (touches her faces.)

Pilar: I know. (Flinches at every touch).

Devante: oh, sorry. (stops touching her face)

Pilar: no, keep going. I'm so happy that your here.

-they both give each other an intense stare down.-

Devante: so what the doctors' agenda for today?

Pilar: I don't know. i had surgery earlier this morning. the rest of the info is in that folder right there. you can take a look if you want.

Devante: (he looks through the folder.) wow! you're mom is Phyllis Hymen?

Pilar: yea, so? (laughs)

Devante: I never knew that? but I see that your father isn't listed.

Pilar: yea. my mom told me this story last night about how he was gonna use me and her for publicity. then he had a drug problem, and then died because he dad shot him. I still don't know his name.

Devante: you know, that sounds a lot like Marvin Gaye.

Pilar: DOESN'T IT! knowing that my dad had went through all of that makes me like Marvin a whole lot more. it's like I can relate to him.

Devante: hmm. well, I've gotta go back to the studio. i'll see you tonight.

Pilar: okay.

-Devante walks over to Pilar, and kisses her on the lips.-

Pilar: (smiles) thanks Green Eyes.

Devante: no problem Sweet Thang. (winks, then walks out.)

-Pilar weakly smiles, thinking about the kiss. on the inside, she's happy, but on the outside, she's still bruised.-

-now she turns on the tv, and Devante walks out of the hospital, smiling over how he got that kiss.-
