Damn , I didn't mean to shoot shorty . The plan was for my homeboy to stall by talking to King's girl , the bullet wasn't meant for her ! I'ma get his bitch ass though , he will pay for what he did .

Payback's A Bitch !

Meek has been in a coma for the past two weeks. She's not responding to the treatment that the doctors are performing or nothing. They told me just take it one day at a time. It could be days, weeks, months, maybe years with the condition she's in. I never knew how hard it was to look after a 3 year old. I love my daughter but, it's getting hard .

She screams all night and throw tantrums . She truly love's her mother , Meek spoils this girl . I realize that me being back into the streets kind of has a lot to do with why I haven't spent the time that I was supposed to spend with Kayla .

I never thought about her feelings until now .

I was sitting on the couch , rubbing my temples . I'm really stressed , I need Meek more than anything . I feel like it was really meant for that bullet to be for me , but I'm still wondering who is after me though .

" daddy , when is mommy coming home ? i miss her . " Kayla said, looking at me in the eyes . I noticed the tear stains on her face .

I picked her up and laid her on my chest .

" mommy will be home soon babygirl , I miss her too . " I said , fighting the tears that were soon to come . She sighed and I felt my chest getting wet . I knew she was crying.

I think it'd be better if i just let her go see her mom , I held out on that because I didn't want her to see Meek in that condition .

" Kay , you want to go see mommy ? " I said .

She hopped off of me and screamed in excitement " yess dadddy , come on! "

I laughed " hold on baby , let me get my car keys . "

Once in the hospital , we got on the elevator .

We stood outside of Meek's room door , " you sure about this Kay ? " I said , not really sure if this was the right move .

" yes daddy , open the door " she squealed while smiling .

I half smiled and opened the door .

Kayla ran inside and stopped .

She touched Meek's arm .

" mommy , you promised that you'd always be here to take me to school , but you didn't keep your promise . " she said .

I felt tears sting my eyes , I quickly wiped it away . Damn , I'm starting to feel like a bitch . I've never shedded so many tears before .

" you left me with daddy . him can't cook , he has me eating PB&J sandwiches and pickles mommy . and it's better when you take me to school , we talk and stuff . daddy just has his music up wayy to loud " she said, I laughed and rubbed my hair .

She kissed Jameka's cheek and the machines started beeping and making all kinds of noise .

The nurse and a few doctors rushed in .

" you two have to step outside . " the nurse and doctors said while trying to get the machines to stop .

" daddy , did I hurt mommy ? " Kayla asked .

I scratched my head " no baby , sometimes things like that happen . She probably got too happy when you kissed her . " I said .

She smiled and nodded .

Jameka

It's dark , I can't see . I hear everything though .

Today , I heard a voice that made me literally try to open my eyes .

Kayla's voice . She touched my arm and I smiled on the inside . I just wanted to hold and kiss all over my babygirl .

" mommy , you promised that you'd always be here to take me to school , but you didn't keep your promise . " Kayla said .

" you left me with daddy . him can't cook , he has me eating PB&J sandwiches and pickles mommy . and it's better when you take me to school , we talk and stuff . daddy just has his music up wayy to loud "

I tried to laugh at that last statement , I was hurt by her words though . I did promise I would never leave her .

She kissed my forehead and that's when I tried to grab her for a hug but , in the process the machines started beeping and I was out again .
