Chapter 12 | Requesting Dominick

London

    I Slowly Opened My Eyes To Be Welcomed With Two Blurry Faces. One Female, And One Male.

"I Told You She'll Wake Up. There's Nothing To Worry About Zero, She's Fine." The Woman Reassured.

I Reached My Weak Arm Toward Zero But The Nurse Placed It Back Down. Zero Caressed My Face.

"What Happened To Me?" I Asked With My Voice Coming Out Raspy.

"You Fell Into The End Table, And It Went Deep Enough To Puncture Your Spinal Cord. Don't Worry, It Was No Damage Done. It Was Just A Lot Of Pain, And It Blacked You Out." The Doctor Explained.

"Thank You For Helping Me. What Is Your Name?" I Asked.

"Dani. Doctor Dani." She Stated.

I Smiled.

      "Thanks For Your Help Dani, I'll Take It From Here." Zero Said.

   Dani Nodded, And Walked Out Of The House. Zero Faced Me, And Grinned. He Kissed My Forehead.

      "Don't Scare Me Like That." Zero Said As He Let Out A Breath.

I Gritted My Teeth.

      "You Need Some Help. As Soon As You Get That, Call Me." I Answered, Bitterly.

   I Slowly Sat Up, And Placed My Hand On My Back In Pain. Zero Had His Face Scrunched Up And His Jaw Tightened.

     "Now, Your Leaving Me?" Zero Questioned.

I Shrugged My Shoulders.

"It's Whatever You Want It To Be." I Said, Simply.

Zero

"...This Girl Gon' Tell Me, It's Whatever You Want It To Be. Is She Serious, Man?" I Complained As I Took A Sip Of Vodka.

I Shook My Head To Relieve The Stinging In My Throat.

"Nigga, I Don't Care. Let's Just Throw This Money And Go On With Our Day." Derwin Said As He Viewed The Strippers Up And Down.

    I Sighed, And Looked At The Strippers Side Ways. I Couldn't Help But Think About London. Why Does She Want Me To Change, This Is Who I Am.

    I Stood Up, And Gathered My Things. Derwin Had A Confused Look On His Face But Waved A Dismissive Hand. I Walked Outside Toward My Car Until I See One Of My Old Friends.

   "Hey Zero." Monique Greeted.

I Nodded My Head.

"How've You Been?" She Asked.

I Searched For My Keys.

"You Know Me, Chillin'. How About You? Since, You Got Engaged With Some Dude And Stopped Talking To Me." I Responded.

Monique Kicked Dirt With Her Shoe.

"That Was His Fault. He Was A Insecure Bastard That Wanted To Take Over My Life." She Explained. "We Broke Up Recently, And I Was Trying To Find You. I Need A Friend Right About Now."

I Stopped Searching For My Keys. All This Time I've Been Waiting For Her To Break Up With Him. All These Hoes I've Been Messing Around With Was Just To Keep Me Occupied Until Monique's Situation Was Over. London Walked Into My Life And Confused Things.

    "Yeah, Sure. I Was Just About To Head Home. Want To Join The Ride?" I Offered.
She Smiled.
