XAVIER:

i had just come from Starbucks with a couple of coffees and a few bagels and was now on my way to pick up Tabitha. to tell you the truth im excited to have her as a guest at my house. i can be there for her now even more. seeing her laid up in that hospital for almost a week made me feel helpless but now i have the chance to help her and more if she'll have me.

before i knew it i was parked at the hospital, i got out with the food and a variety of yellow and green flowers that i thought she'd might like and headed in.

i finally made it to her room eventually but before i could open the door i heard a man talking in Tabitha's room. standing my guard hoping it wasn't that bastard i busted in the room quickly gaining a scared, crazy, and confused look from her and what looked to be a police officer.

"what's going on?"

TABITHA:

having fractured ribs was no fun at all but after waking up in the middle of the night i managed to get out of my hospital bed and tried my best to walk around the room.  after a few hours i got the hang of it. i haven't slept since. 

i was now stepping out of the hospital's closet shower. i left my clothes my mom left for me last night on my bed. i wrapped the towel around me and stepped out.

i was headed for the bed with my clothes almost in reach, but someone opened the door causing me to halt.

a man walked in looking down at a paper not knowing i wasn't dressed. he looked like an police officer so i politely spoke up.

"excuse me." i said while he shot his head up.

"im not quite dressed do you mind coming back in a few minutes?" i said impatiently.

he looked me up and down biting his lip. "sure." he said before walking out.

i quickly put on the black yoga pants and a t-shirt that my mom got from the house and threw it on. it fit me pretty big but im thankful because it hid my perky breasts that were bra free.

once i was dressed as if on cue the officer came back in the room. he looked me up and down before he opened his mouth to speak.

"Ms. Waters, im Detective Bryant. i have a few questions regarding your boyfriend Darius."

"ex boyfriend." i said correcting him.

"well as you may know he's in jail but not for what he's done to you."

"well why the hell not?"

"you fled the scene mam, the reason he was taken into custody is because of the cocaine and other drugs found around your house."

"i only fled the scene because i was close to death. but someone saved my life and took me to the hospital."

"well thats why im here, i want him put away as much you do but i need your cooperation."

"ok, fine what do i have to do?"

"okay well so far he has admitted that all the hidden drugs in the house belonged to him. but due to his reputation as a lawyer they are trying to let him out with a slap on the wrist by giving him a bail of 5k. but if you step in and testify against him im sure he is in for a rude awakening."

i nodded my head in understanding about to reply, but we were interrupted.

Xavier barged in the door like he was crazy and we both gave him a confused look.
