She Saved Him

Asia Clarke

I Was Released From The Hospital A Few Days Later And The Doctors Have Put Me On Bed Rest For The Remainder Of My Pregnancy. My Mom And India Have Volunteered To Stay With Me And Help Me Out For The Next Few Weeks So I Was Happy About That, And Diamond Also Volunteered To Stay And Help, But I Really Wanted Her To Leave. Don't Get Me Wrong, She's Been A Great Help These Last Few Days, But She Starting To Get On My Last Nerves.

"Knock, Knock." Diamond Said, Walking Into My Room. Speak Of The Devil.

"Hey Beautiful. Are You Hungry?" She Asked. I Shook My Head.

"No Not At The Moment." I Said.

"Well You're Not Eating For Just You Anymore, Asia. You're Eating For Two And You Haven't Eaten Anything All Day." She Said.

"Well WE Aren't Hungry!" I Snapped. She Sighed And Put Her Hands On Her Hips.

"Okay Fine. I'm Just Trying To Look After You. I Know That's What Dex Would've Wanted." She Said. I Glared At Her.

"Don't Speak On Dex Like He's Dead! He Is Not Dead!" I Snapped, As The Tears Formed In My Eyes.

"I'm Not Saying That He Is, But Asia...He's Gone. Nobody Knows Where He Is And-" She Began, But I Cut Her Off.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT SEMAJ HAS HIM AND I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO GET HIM BACK!" I Screamed. She Rolled Her Eyes And Sighed.

"Calm Down. I'm Just Stating The Obvious, But I'll Leave It Alone. Um...Your Mom And Sister Took SaMiyah To School And They're Going Grocery Shopping. I'm Gonna Go Explore And Find A Mall So I Can Get My Boo Zavier Some Shoes." She Said.

"What Did You Just Say?" I Asked, Quickly Glancing At Her. I Know She Didn't Just Say Her Boo Zavier?! I Thought Zavier Was In Jail And If He Wasn't...That Means He's With Semaj. And If Diamond And Xavier Are Together That Means She's Working With Semaj As Well. Ohhh That Sneaky Little Bitch! 

"I Said I'm Gonna Go Explore And Find A Mall So I Can Get My Boo Some Shoes." She Said.

"Oh Okay." I Said. She Blew Me A Kiss As She Walked Out Of My Room. I Sat There For A Minute Until I Heard Her Heading Downstairs. I Then Pulled Myself Out Of Bed, Slid On My Boots, Grabbed My Car Keys, And Headed Downstairs. I Watched Diamond Pull Out Of My Driveway And As Soon As She Drove Down The Street, I Quickly Ran Outside And Hurried To My Car. I Couldn't Move As Fast As I Wanted Because Of This Damn Baby, But I Was Moving Fast Enough. I Quickly Sped Down The Street And Followed Diamond To Wherever She Was Going. I Was Sure Not To Tail To Close To Her, But I Really Wanted To Slam My Car Into The Back Of Hers.

After Twenty Minutes Of Driving, We Pulled Up To The Green Hills Mall And I Parked A Few Cars Away From Diamond And Watched As She Got Out Of Her Car And Headed Inside The Mall. She Had To Have Been In There For At Least Two And A Half Hours And I Ended Up Dozing Off In My Car.

I Woke Up To My Phone Ringing As I Jerked And Quickly Sat Up. For A Slight Moment I Thought Diamond's Car Was Gone As I Frantically Searched The Packed Parking Lot, But Luckily It Was Still In The Same Place It Was When We Arrived.  I Sighed As I Grabbed My Phone And Quickly Answered It.

"Hello." I Said.

"Took You Long Enough. What You Doing?" I Heard Semaj Say.

"Semaj...I'm Tired Of These Childish Ass Games! You Need To Grow The Fuck Up And Tell Me Where The Hell Dex Is!" I Snapped. I Was Over All Of This Bullshit Drama And I Definitely Wasn't In The Mood To Go On Another Rescue Mission.

"Mama Got An Attitude." I Heard Him Say. My Heart Dropped When I Heard SaMiyah's Voice In The Background.

"I Got Somebody That Wants To Talk To You." He Said.

"Mommy! Mommy I Wanna Go Home!" SaMiyah Cried. The Tears Fell From My Eyes As I Laid My Head Down On The Steering Wheel.

"Everything Is Gonna Be Okay Baby Girl. I'm On My Way To Come Get You." I Said.

"Okay." She Said, Sniffling. I Heard Semaj Murmur Something As He Got Back On The Phone.

"What Do You Want Semaj?" I Asked.

"You Know Good And Damn Well What I Want!" He Snapped.

"Okay Fine. Tell Me Where You Are And I'm On My Way. Just Please Don't Hurt Her Semaj. Please." I Begged.

"I Ain't Gon Harm My Baby Girl. You Should Know I Ain't That Evil. Now Diamond Should Be Leaving The Mall Right Now. Follow Her And She'll Lead You Right To Me, But Check This Out...Any Funny Business And I'll Shoot Dex And Disappear With Our Daughter! You Understand?" He Said.

"Yes. I Understand." I Said, Wiping The Falling Tears.

"Good. See You Soon Baby." He Said, Hanging Up On Me. I Let The Phone Fall Into My Lap As I Covered My Face And Began Crying. How Did He Even Get To SaMiyah? I Pray He Doesn't Hurt Her, But Then Again....Why Would He? Because He's A Fucked Up Nigga That's Why.
