Drifting Back [Fanfiction G-Eazy] Book 1

Verdict

Gerald POV

My heart dropped as Danny sunk down to the ground. I was chained to the floor, unable to do a thing but watch. The trial went to recess as I was forced back in a waiting cell, silent as a mouse. Before I knew it I was ushered back in, Grady and Richard the only ones missing. My mother was exhaling a deep breath as I sat down in front of her and was recuffed to the chains.

" What the hell happened mom?"

" She hasn't been eating well Gerald. She's a fucking mess alright? She's constantly worried about you and not about the baby." I cursed under my breath before turning back around to the front as the judge walked in and sat down. Admittedly I zoned out the entire time. The image of Daniella falling over and over filled my thoughts. So much that I didn't even notice when the jury left the room. I joined the other inmates back in the cages. Holding my head in my hands.

" It went that bad?" Derek my cell mate mumbled before I lifted my head.

" My girl she passed out on the stand she's so fucking skinny..."

"Fuck bro I'm sorry. She's pregnant right?"

"Yeah she's got my scared shitless... I never seen her so grey..." I stood and paced before resting my head against the bars and closing my eyes.

" How do you think the trial went?" A laugh escaped me before I shrugged.

"In all honesty I didn't hear a word once she fell to the ground." It felt like hours passing as I laid down and tried to get some sleep. Maybe the jury wouldn't even come back today. Well they didn't. Three days passed till the guard banged on the cells with his stick.

"Gillum let's go." I was chained like a dog, ushered back into the court room. There sat James, Grady, and Matt. My mother no where in sight. My stomach knotted up as the judge sat down then the jury funneled in like sheet. One stood and handed the judge a sheet, which he reviewed before adjusting the mic.

" In the count of drug trafficking... Not guilty... In the count of purchase with the intent to distribute... Not guilty... In the count of car theft.... Not guilty..." He sighed and took off his glasses, my heart was pounding. "Mr. Gillum you are free to go..."

"Thank you your honor." The chains were released, Grady grinning like a fool before they took me back to grab my things. "I'm out!"

"Congrats man! I'll see you on the otherside one day." Derek smile before giving a nod.

"I hope so man... Thanks."

"Don't thank me. I'm just being me." A chuckle passed his lips before I quickly followed the guard, getting changed into my clothes I was arrested in and getting my items back. By some miracle my phone had a little life left. Then it was freedom. Grady and James pulling me into hugs before Matt hugged me.

"Bro orange was not your color!"

"Tell me about it... Where is Danny?"

"She's at the hopsital... You ready?"

"Fuck yeah..." I chuckled before putting on my sunglasses. Grady snapping more photos.

"The free Gerald!"

"Yeee!" I hollared before climbing into Matt's black SUV. " So where is Richard and Marty?"

"Probably just chilling at your place. Danny has been... Hard to live with lately. She was getting real snappy with Ellie and Suzanne. She revoked all the visitors..." Realization kind of hit at that point. Something was wrong.

"Why?"

"I dunno man. She went off on your mom and Ellie about eating. The doctors told Suz that Danny lost 15lbs and she needs to eat so she goes into the room and Danny just... Told her to fuck off and get out. I just think the pregnancy and you being in jail has fucked with her head."

" Maybe she'll let me in..." I mumbled from the back seat. Minutes later we were at the hospital, my mom and Ellie in the waiting room. They looked exhausted, but everyone seemed to smile seeing me. My mom ran over, pulling me into a hug.

"O honey... Thank God...."

"I love you..."

"I love you too sweetie..." I pulled away and walked up the the nurses desk, it was obvious the girl recognized me once I took my glasses off.

"I'm trying to see Daniella Evans?"

" She isn't accepting visitors...."

"Can you tell her Gerald is here... Please?" I flashed a smile and she nodded slowly before rushing off. The door was right down the hall, the nurse peaked her head in and a moment later waved her arm for me to come down. I looked to my mother then gave a nod before making my way down the hall and pass the nurse. She looked fragile and pale. Eyes only slightly open as she managed to sit up. Her ring was on the table. "Danny?" I stopped in the door, she just stared at me, mouth ajar before the tears streamed down her cheeks. In a rush I walked over and pulled her into my arms, letting her sobs fill my ears. "Shhh I got you D... Baby girl you're so skinny.... I've got more worried."

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry Gerald..." I sat down, pressing a kiss to her temple.

"Shhh calm down... I'm here.... I'm okay... I just got a few bruises nothing bad." I looked into her grey green eyes, brushing away the tears on her cheek with my thumb. "Why you pushing everyone away baby... They're your family..."

"I... I don't know... I just... If you didn't make it out I didn't want them to watch me like a hawk... I just wanted to run away..." I sighed softly and grabbed her ring, slipping it onto her finger, by some miracle it still fit snug on her skinny frame.

"Why weren't you eating?"

"I just... I didn't care anyone... I had no reason to care."

"D..." I sighed and let her lay back down before kissing her stomach through the hospital gown. "This baby is enough reason to care... Alright? I'm signing the papers you're going home." He nodded slowly and gave a small smile. So what was wrong with her?
