Rescue Me

Chapter 8.

BAHJA'S POV

   I am like so confused right now. Zonnique is in the hospital and I don't know why she fainted. I was in the waiting room along with a bunch of other people. Even Chresanto was here. I don't know why I was surprised. I just haven't heard from him in a while. And the face that he was sitting right next to mw, was making me uncomfortable. I don't know why, but it was just really awkward. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, and Chresanto cleared his throat. I looked over at him, and I noticed he was looking at me. He quickly looked away, and so did I. The doctor came into the waiting room, with a clipboard in his hand, preparing to give us the news. "Is she okay!?" Bre rushed up to him. "Yes, she's fine." He grinned. That lifted a huge wieght off of my shoulders. It made me feel alot better. "She just fainted under a certain amount of stress." He explained. "Why would she be stressed out?" I blurted out. "Oh! You mean besides the fact that you almost slept with her baby's father?" Bre sarcastically spoke. TT Tiny nodded. My face turned red with embarresment. I looked over at Chresanto who was rubing his arm. "Can we visit her?" Chres asked the doctor. "Sure. Three visitors at a time though." He said. I grabbed my purse, volunteering myself to go in with two other people. Bre & Chresanto came. I could tell there was alot of tension between Bre and Me and Chres. Bre just doesn't like us. I guess. I know she doesn't like me. Because of many reasons I've explained before. She doesn't like Chresanto for almost sleeping with me. 

"Zonnique?" Bre lightly knocked on the doorframe. Nique looked up from her fingers and smiled at Bre. "Heyy." She grinned. Bre walked over to her and gave her a gentle hug, while Chresanto and I stood back and awkwardly watched. "Hi Bahj." Zonnique looked at me. I smiled and waved. Bre shot me a nasty look. "So what happened?" Bre asked Zonnique. "I don't know. Listening to Bahja and my mom argue stressed me out. I just couldn't handle it I guess." She sighed. Bre looked at me. "You argued with her mother right in front of her? Knowing that she's pregnant!?" She squinted her eyes at me. "And you're about to do the same thing." I tried to stop her. She stopped shouting. Nique caught sight of Chresanto. "Hello Chres." Zonnique shot him a weak smile. "Hey Z." He nodded. "How's the baby?" He asked her. Zonnique was silent. She played with her fingers and looked down. "Sorry... I guess that was... too sudden to ask." He ran his fingers through his short full curls. "Can I just talk to my mother?" Zonnique sniffled and looked off to the side. "Are you crying?" I asked her. "Just bring in my mother!" She shouted. It startled all of us. We all rushed out of the hospital room and Bre told TT Tiny to go in there, because Zonnique wanted to talk to her.

"I'm gonna go to the vending machine." I stated. No one seemed to care. I pulled my purse up on my shoulder and made my way around the hospital. When I reached the vending machine, I sat down in a chair and covered my face with my hands. I silently cried to myself. She hates me. They hate me. Everyone hates me. I hate myself for getting myself into this. All of it. I felt a light tap on my arm and I pulled my hands away from my face. I looked up to see Chresanto. "Sup." He grinned. Are you kidding me? My best friend is in the hospital, I'm a mess, and he wants to ask me 'Sup'? Tf? "Leave me alone." I muttered. "Bahja. I know you're depressed." He sighed. "I'm not depressed, Chres. I just feel.... guilty." I sniffled. "How do you think I feel? I cheated on my now ex girlfriend with her best friend, and now she's pregnant." He groaned. "I know." I sighed and turned to him. "Just.. what if she's not ready to forgive me? What if she never forgives me? I don't know what I'll do without her." I frowned. "You have other people that care about you Bahja." He wrapped his arm around me. "Like who?" I looked up at him. "My family hates me, and so does Bre." I crossed my arms. "Why don't you try looking in front of you Bahja." He suggested. 

I looked in front of me. When I realized he was talking about himself, I smiled. "Thanks." I grinned, wiping my face. He moved me hand away from my face, and leaned in closer. He lifted his thumb and wiped a tear from my cheek. He then brushed his lips across mine. I closed my eyes and rubbed his cheek. When his lips touched mine, I felt like all my problems were lifted. Like everything was okay. I grabbed the sides of his face, and he licked my bottom lip. I peeked my tongue out of my mouth and he grabbed it between his lips. I let out a plesurable whimper as he started to stand up, I went along with him, standing to my feet as well. He pulled his lips away from mine, while grabbing my hands. He smiled, and pressed his forehead against mine. "I care about you Bahja. You'll never feel alone for as long as I'm alive." He said to me. I nodded and kissed him again. I might be wrong by kissing Zonnique's ex.. but they aren't together anymore. And Zonnique doesn't seem to want Chresanto in her baby's life. I just feel like he's the thing that makes me feel better. That doesn't make my life feel like crap.
