A Bittersweet Life

Shia

Pacing the floors of this creepy hospital, I continued waiting for Tiffany to get here. This is a bunch of bullshit, I didn't even have to ask who did this to her. I already knew all too well. I didn't want it to come to this, but I knew it would.

"Shia, what's going on?" Tiffany ran in yelling

"Deanna had called me, but all I heard was a bunch of screaming so I figured she called me by accident. I stayed on the phone and when I heard things being broken I immediately got in my car. When I got to her house I found her on the floor bruised, bloody and unconscious"

"Damnit!"

"I'm just glad you got that call, whether it was an accident or not"

"I'm gon kill him"

"Do you really think that's going to solve anything?"

"Our best friend is laying in a hospital bed, battered and beaten. Yes it will"

"I understand that, but what would that do for you? Land you in jail"

"I'll be fine. There's no talking me out of this"

"Whatever man"

A few moments later, a doctor came out with an uncertain look on his face.

"Family of Deanna Brown?" he called

"Yes, we're her sisters"

"Well, Ms. Brown has a few broken ribs, still bruised and she had to get stitches above her eyebrow. Now we noticed some damage done to her uterus. There had to be force caused by a male-"

"Wait, what? What are you talking about? Are you saying that she was-"

"Yes, that's what I'm saying" he spoke up sadly

Oh my God, this couldn't be happening. She's been saving herself all of her life. That would devastate her knowing that her most prized possession was snatched away from her.

"I'm afraid there's more"

"You're killing me here doc"

"I apologize. Seeing the damage that's been done, I'm sorry to inform you that her chances of ever conceiving are slim to none"

Both gasping, Tiffany cried taking a seat in the waiting room.

"I apologize ladies. Ms. Brown will be fine, I will keep you updated and let you know when she wakes up. I called your parents and they said that they're on the way"

Oh great

"Okay, thanks Doc"

"No problem"

"Alright, where's the drama queen?" I heard an all too familiar voice

Lord give me the strength

"Janice, stop" Her father chuckled
