Between the 2!!

Nothing good comes from Hospitals

Felicia's POV

I walk into the hospital and walk up to the nurse desk to ask about my uncle, I hate hospitals so much. My father was in the hospital for awhile before he died and I hated it then and I definitely hate it now. I gave the nurse James' name and she told me what floor he was on.

I walked to the elevators and saw my mom getting off, when she sees me she gets this look of pure hatred. "Where the hell have you been? I texted you hours ago, he could be dead by now and you took your sweet ol time getting here didn't you?"

I looked at her as if she was crazy, I mean is she for real talking to me like that over HIM?  "Are you serious ma? Me being here wouldn't make a difference whether he lived or died, I mean I really don't understand why I needed to be here anyways"

"YOU BITCH" She slaps me across my face as hard as she can. I couldn't believe she hit me, she's NEVER hit me before, only nasty words.

"How dare you, you lil ungrateful slut. If you didn't know, your uncle has been paying our house payments since your father died, hes the one who has put you through school and you want to come in here as if he means nothing to you"

"HE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME MA, NADA. HE HASNT DONE SHIT FOR ME, YOUR A LIAR. YOUR JUST SAYING ALL THIS CAUSE HE'S YOUR LATEST FUCK BUDDY. IM OUTTA HERE" She grabs my arm and pulls me into the elevator.

"Where the hell do you think you were going? You will get up there and show respect or else your out of MY house by tonight." I snatch my arm away from her and I put space between us, because if she grabs me again Im gonna straight up hit her. Ma or not she not gon keep disrespecting me as if Im the one who deserves it.  I really just wanted to leave and go home, I really didn't care that James was layed up in a hospital bed where he belonged. Why would she say he's the one paying our mortgage or that he paid for my schooling? What if ma has been having an affair with him this whole time behind dads back? So many thoughts where running through my head right now I didn't even realize the elevator had stopped.

"Are you gonna get off or are you just gonna stand there looking stupid?"

"You know what ma you really need to stop talking to me like Im a child Im 20yrs old not 5."

"Ill treat you any way I damn well please, now move ya ass"

We walked down this long hallway, and it smelled like dead people. You could just smell the germs in the air. I really didn't want to be here. We finally stopped at the end of the hall to room 2018. Mom was about to open the door when Aunt Margaret walks out with tears in her eyes.

"What happened Margaret? Is he.." Ma said cutting her words off as if it's too much for her to bear to finish it. 

 "No he's not dead, but he has slipped into a coma. The doctors wont tell me how that could've happened. I mean how does someone have a heart attack and slip into a coma?"

I stood there looking clueless, I mean I wasn't about to cry especially over him. I was worried about aunt Margret though. Her and I don't see eye to eye on much, but I know she loves James even if he is a bad person and cheater.

"Auntie he will be okay, we just have to pray he comes out of this" She looks at me and then breaks down in my arms.

"Are you kidding me right now?" My mother spats at me,  I look at her as if she has two heads. What is her problem now.  "What ma whats the issue now?"

"You comfort her as if she's the one who needs comforting, Im the one who texted you, Im the one whose the wreck here and YOU act as if she's the one who needs comforting."

"Ma do we really have to do this right now, Aunt Margret is devastated. That is HER man in there, NOT YOURS" I must have set something off in that messed up brain of hers because what she said next blew my mind. 

"WELL IM THE ONE WHOSE BEEN FUCKING HIM FOR THE LAST 20YRS AND THE MOTHER OF HIS ONLY CHILD"  As soon as she said it she put her hand over her mouth, realizing what she just said. I couldn't believe she just admitted to having a 20yr affair in front of his wife. Wait did she say 20yrs?

"Wait a min, are you saying Uncle James is MY FATHER? Please tell me that's not true?" I let go of Margaret and slowly back away. This couldnt be happening, it's not true. That bastard of a man in there cant possible be my father. NO Way!

"YOU BITCH" Aunt Margret lunges at ma and throws her up against the wall and starts choking her. I tried to pry her hands off but at this moment auntie was strong an full of rage.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE...NOOOW" Im screaming down the hall while still trying to get her off my mothers neck. Nothing is working and no one is coming. All I can do is grab Margret by the waist and try to pull her off mom, but it's not working.

"I got it I got it" I hear Carter saying as he's running down the hallway, I had forgot he was even here, but thank God he showed up at this very moment. He grabs Auntie away from ma and holds her while she falls to the ground in tears.

Ma on the other hand was crouched against the wall gasping for air. "Ma are you ok? Just take deep breaths and you'll start breathing normally again"

"Im so sorry Felicia, Im so sorry Im sorry Im sorry" She kept repeating it over and over again and wouldn't stop. I didn't know whether to hold her or leave her sitting there thinking about all the damage she had just caused.

"What's going on Felicia? What happened up here?"Carter asked me but before I could even answer I see Terrence running down the hallway.

"What the fuck happened?" He looks at me and then to Carter, then he realizes his mother is on the ground crying. He kneels down beside her, taking her out of Carters arms and cradles her.  "Mom what happened here? Please talk to me mom" He's waiting for her to respond but she hasn't stopped crying. Terrence looks at me and sees the tears streaming down my face. I wanted to be the one in his arms right now. I just found out that my dad wasn't my dad and that James is my real father and my mother has been lying to me my whole life.. Who does that to someone they are supposed to love? I wonder if daddy knew he wasn't my father and that ma had been cheating on him with his own flesh and blood brother. I had to get out of here, I had to leave.

"Carter can you please take me home now, I cant be here one more second" I give T  a once over and I turn around to leave.  "Yes beautiful lets go"Cater grabs my hand and we walk to the elevator in silence. 

Terrence stands up and walks over to me and pulls me to the side. His face has pain, sadness, and confusion written all over it.

"Lisha tell me what happened, why are our moms on the floor crying, did James die or something? and why is he here?" He says' pointing to Carter.  I couldn't believe that he just asked me who Carter was, like that was the most important thing right now. That made me even more mad that he hadn't contacted me in 2days.

"First of all where have you been for the last 2 days? Why have you ignored me and not call or text to let me know you where ok?  Ya know what (I say with my hands up in the air as if to push him away) don't answer that. Im so pissed right now I cant see straight. (I start to walk away, but not before I let him in on what just happened) Oh and by the way, your mother just found out my mother has been sleeping with James for the last 20yrs, you figure the rest out. Im outta here."

I walk away with Carter leaving Terrence standing there looking at me. I hated leaving him there to find out the rest but I was so angry at him. I was hurt he didn't care enough to check up on me or that he could actually go 2 days without talking to me. Now I have to deal with James being my father on top of it all. I just wanted to be alone.

Carter pulls up with the car and I get in, and I couldn't hold the tears in any longer. I started crying so hard I just couldn't stop. All this was too much to take in. I didn't want to cry in front of him plus he's done seen enough of my family and our problems to make him not want to have anything to do with me.

"Let it out hun, just let it out. Do you want to come to my place and rest and Ill cook you dinner?"

"Yes Carter that's fine"  I didn't want to go home alone and wait for mother to show up and make it any worse for me. I needed to get away from it all even if only for tonight, I would deal with ma and Terrence tomorrow.
