Why can't I be with him?

What now?

Why is it so dark in here?

Where am I?

Why am I here?

These questions were swimming through my head while I was quietly panicking. What happened?

I stopped to think about why this is happening. Then I remembered.

The roar of an engine, the bright lights, the muffled yells, then darkness. while I remembered it  in my head everything that happened. One thing I wanted answered really was, who hit me?

Even though I couldn't see, I can hear people talking all around me. I could also feel a hand holding mine. It was warm and soft.

I feel the hand loosen up and grip on to it so it doesn't leave. I felt so cold and it was the only heat I have.

"I think she is up." said one voice. I don't know why but I like that voice.

Then I heard another voice I didnt, " I'll get the doctor."

After a couple of seconds I stopped listening. I wanted to try and move because my nose was itchy. I first tried to open my eyes. They felt so heavy. I tried and tried for at least 3 minutes. At the point where I was about to give up, they open.

The first thing I see is Tyrece's face. He looks happy to see my eyes open. I am just happy to see him here with me, but before anything else......

"Can you scratch my nose?" I ask my voice scratchy.

"Of course baby." When you said baby I blushed hard. That's the first time he called me baby. I liked it. I blushed mostly because his mom was in the room as well as my parents. I stopped when I saw them.

Why are they here?

My mom spoke after a couple minutes," Hey sweety are you feeling okay?" She asked sweetly. How she was acting made me confused. I know I'm on the hospital. but she doesn't like Tyrece and his family.

After Tyrece scratched my nose. He put his hand in mine. I didn't know what my parents might do if I let go of him, so I grip his hand. I know it seems like I am overexaggerating, but I don't trust them when it comes to him or his family.

" I'm fine." I say still suspicious of there calm expressions.

"That's great! Your father went out to get you a doctor, but it's taking forever." She says with a nervous chuckle. They are hiding how they feel about them.

"That's okay. Can me and Tyrece have some alone time until the doctor comes?" I say looking for a reaction.

"I don't know if that's a good idea honey." She says looking at Tyrece. I knew it was an act.

"Come on mom. Please?" I say in a small whine.

She looks at me for a couple seconds and says, "Fine."

They all walk out, even Tyrece's mom and dad that I had forgotten about. Whoops! Tyrece leans in and gives me  a big ol' kiss on the lips. I love being able to kiss him now. I say that a lot, but whatever.

When we're done, he pulls away only a little.

"So, how you feeling?" He says with a small smile on his face.

"Very thirsty." I say smiling back.

"I'll go get you some water, okay?" He said getting up.

"Thank you."

He leaves the room and my mom and dad walk in. They have these weird looks on their faces. I don't know how to place it.

"Sweety, we need to talk about you and that boy." My father says seriously.

My mother just stands there and boss when he says this.

"What do you mean?"

They both took a deep breath and looked at each other. My father was the one that spoke again.

"We don't want you seeing no nigger."
(a/n: Guys I mean no offense to any other African Americans when I say this! Just to keep the story going, I swear!)

I couldn't even respond. Why would they say that? They fony want me to be with Tyrece....because he is black? Didn't they just see how happy he makes me........how much we like each other. How can they call him that? He isn't just black. He is amazing, smart, and so many other things.

Right now I have thinking about it I have come to a conclusion about what I will do. It does  NOT include breaking up with my boyfriend either.

"I don't care how you feel." I say as calmly as I can.

"Honey-" My mother tries to speak,but I just cut her off.

"No! I want to be with Tyrece because he makes me happy! The only reason you have to break us up is that he is black! It's not like he has done any wrong ever! You know what as soon as I get out of here I am packing my stuff and leaving that God damn house!"

My mother started tearing up at this part and my dad had a kind of sad look on his face.

"No!" My mother said, she probably thought I would care.

"Yes!" I yell back looking her dead in the eyes with a fierce glare.

Just then Tyrece walked in with a cup of water. The only head that turned to look at him was my father's. When I turned and noticed the cup, I started to notice how much my throat hurts.

Tyrece only looks at me and starts making his way to me.

"Stay away from my daughter youfucking nigger!" My dad says all of a sudden turning red in the face.

All Tyrece does is glance at him and continue his way to me, handing me the cup when he gets there. He then sits down and holds my hand.

When he can tell I have calmed down, he leans in and gives me a quick peck of the lips. The whole time my parents watching with hateful eyes.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

I break down. I start sobbing and crying. This whole time they had only worried about breaking me and Tyrece up. They didn't tell me to calm down cause I hadn't had water or because I just woke up. Not even a simple 'are you okay?' when they first walked in the room. The only thing they had cared about was MY RELATIONSHIP!

I grabbed Tyrece and pulled him on the bed with me, not caring if my parents were there. When he was settled I put my arms around him and leaned on him, closing my eyes. He pulled me closer gently and wrapped his arms around.

"Leave."I say in a low voice to my parents. I can have them here with me if they only worry about something that doesnt effect them.

"I am tired and I just want to be with Tyrece right now." I hold onto him a little tighter.

They look at each other then leave. Three and I don't talk while we are together. We just hold each other. The whole time I am thinking about one thing.

Where will I go after I leave the hospital?
