She Saved Him

1.

(Sa'Miyah & Asia In MM.)

"You Have 48 Hours, Asia. If You're Not Here When Those 48 Hours Are Up, Then You Can Kiss Your Little Boy Toy Goodbye. The Clock Is Ticking."

44 Hours Left...

I Frantically Knocked On My Mom's Door And Waited For Her To Open Up. I Had Just Arrived Back In Atlanta And I Had To Figure Out How I Was Going To Get Dex Away From Semaj Without Getting Myself Killed In The Process.

"Who Is It?" My Mom Yelled.

"Asia." I Said. The Door Flew Open And My Mom Stood There With An Angry Mug On Her Face. She Got In My Face And Yanked Me By My Shirt.

"Where The Hell Have You Been? Your Poor Sister Is In The Hospital Because Of That No Good Baby Daddy Of Yours!" She Yelled.

"Granny Stop!" SaMiyah Cried. I Can't Believe I Was Getting Jacked Up, By My Mom, In Front Of My Baby. This Is Some Bullshit!

"Mom It Wasn't My Fault!" I Said. She Gave Me A Cold Glare Before Letting Me Go And Kneeling Down To Pick SaMiyah Up.

"Granny Sorry Sweet Girl." She Said. She Kissed SaMiyah's Cheek As We Walked Into Her House.

"Has She Ate?" My Mom Asked.

"No Ma'am." I Said.

"Mhm. So Where You Been?" She Asked Me.

"In Tennessee." I Said.

"What The Hell You Doing All The Way Down There?" She Yelled.

"Daddy Bought Us A House!" SaMiyah Said.

"Daddy? I Know She Ain't Talking About Semaj!" She Yelled.

"Why Are You Yelling? And No! She Isn't Talking About Semaj. She's Talking About Dex." I Said. Dex And My Mom Met A Few Times, But He Was Always Scared Of Her.

"Mm. Well...Dex Has Been More Like A Father To Her Anyways So I Guess That Makes Sense. Are Y'all Two Together?" She Asked.

"Kind Of." I Said.

"What The Hell You Mean Kind Of?" She Said.

"Granny You Curse A Lot!" SaMiyah Said.

"She Really Does Baby! And We Haven't Really Made Things Official Mom." I Said. She Was Starting To Get On My Nerves Asking Me All These Questions. She Started Rambling On As She Made SaMiyah Something To Eat, But I Didn't Have Time To Listen To Her Go On And On About Whatever She Was Talking About.

"Hey Mom...Can You Watch Her For The Night? I'm Gonna Go Visit India And Stay The Night With Her. It's The Least I Could Do." I Said. She Nodded Her Head And I Kissed SaMiyah's Cheek.

"Be Good For Granny Baby. I'll Be Back In The Morning. I Love You." I Said.

"Love You Too." She Said.

"Thanks Mom. Love You." I Said As I Hurried Out Of Her House.

43 Hours Left...

I Arrived At The Hospital Twenty Minutes Later And Quickly Walked Up To The Receptionist Desk.

"Hi I'm Looking For India Clarke's Room." I Said.

"She Can't Have Guest Unless It's Family. Are You Family?" She Asked.

"Yes Ma'am. I'm Her Sister." I Said. She Nodded As She Handed Me A Visitors Pass With Her Room Number On It. I Quickly Hurried To Her Room And Gently Pushed Open The Door. She Was Sitting Up In Her Bed Eating, But She Froze When She Saw Me.

India

"Hey Indy." I Said.

"What Are You Doing Here?" She Asked.

"I Came To Check Up On You." I Said.

"You Shouldn't Be Here. If Semaj Finds Out You're Here He'll Kill Us Both." She Said. Her Face Was Bruised Up Badly And She Had Both Her Arm And Leg Wrapped Up.

"What Has He Been Doing To You?" I Asked. Her Eyes Filled With Tears As She Looked Away From Me.

"Everything! He Broke Into The House And He Has Been Raping And Beating Me Up Ever Since You Left. He Told Me If I Didn't Find Out Where You Ran Off Too Then He'd Kill Me." She Cried. I Sighed As I Sat Next To Her.

"Wow. I Am So Sorry India. I Really Am, But I Need To Know Where Semaj Is Right Now." I Said. I Felt Bad For Everything Semaj Did To My Family. But At The Same Time...I Still Had To Go Save Dex.

"I Don't Know Where He Is. After He Dropped Me Off Here, I Haven't Had Any Contact With Him. His Friend Was Staying In Here With Me To Watch Over Me, But Then Something Happened And They Arrested Him. Now...I'm Just Trying To Recover So I Can Get Out Of Here And Move Away." She Said.

"Good Idea. Just Don't Forget To Take Mom With You." I Said. We Laughed A Little.

"I Know Right. And Asia...I'm Really Sorry. I Know I Kind Of Betrayed You By Trying To Make You Tell Me Where You Were For Semaj, But I Was Really Scared." She Said.

"It's Okay." I Said.

"No! No It Is Not Okay! You Have My Niece To Protect And I Tried To Throw You Both To The Sharks! I'm A Terrible Sister And A Terrible Auntie!" She Cried.

"Indy Chill. You Did What You Felt Was Right. I'm Not Mad At You. I Feel Like I Should Be, But I'm Not. You're In This Hospital Because Of Me An My Stupid Decisions. We're Even I Guess." I Said. We Both Giggled As She Nodded Her Head.

"Well I Guess I'll Let You Finish Eating And Getting Your Rest. And If Anything Happens To Me Indy...I Want You To Take Care Of SaMiyah For Me." I Said.

"Of Course. I'll Protect Her With My Life." She Said. I Smiled A Little.

"Good." I Said. I Turned And Walked Out Of Her Hospital Room. Now It's Time To Think Of A Plan To Get My Baby Dex Back!
