The One You Love

Introduction

"Shot!?"
"Yes ma'am. He isn't going to make it and we need you to come down and grab his belongings since his guardians won't answer the phone."

Toya whimpered.
"Thank you miss."
Toya hung up the phone and sat at the foot of her creeky bed.

"Auntie! Auntie" Bryan, Toya's nephew came running into the room grinning from ear to ear.

"Yes Bryan."
"My momma said she's outside. I'm leaving."
"Bye Bryan"

Once the door shut behind Bryan, Toya got up, grabbed her car keys and slung her purse over her shoulder.
She got in her Honda Accord and headed to the hospital to pick up her gang member ex- boyfriends shit she wasn't trying to keep.

It was 9:30 pm

"Baby girl." Tay called
"What?"

"I'm going out to hang with the boys but I'll be back prolly not tonight I'm just chilling."

"Don't be bringing yo ass back here carrying new STD's. Keep your dick in your pants and don't come in here pissy drunk off that stank ass Guiness."

Tay walks toward Toya stopping right in front of her.
He stood 6'3 and looked down at her.
She liked them tall.

"Damn baby you ain't gotta dog me like that. I'll holla at you later."

Toya rolls her eyes as he kissed her on the lips leaving the tainted smell of a rello under her nose.

He grinned, and walked out the door.

She laid in bed listening to the sounds of sirens, and her television on low. She searched social media and rolled over every one in a while.

She heard the door unlock, as the sound of Tims came tip toeing in the door.

She put her phone on the night stand, rolled over and pretended to sleep.
He came in the room, unbuckled his pants and she listened as they hit the wooden floor.

He got in the bed and she felt his bare skin touch hers. He wrapped his arm around her, he smelled like weed and a 6 pack

He whispered in her ear.
"I missed you baby"
She moved a little to let him know she was awake and whispered back.
"I missed you too."
He moved closer to her and the next thing she knew he was sliding his hard, warm dick in her from the back. That woke her up.

The drive was dark. Mary J played as she drove as slow as she could in the rain to the emergency room.

She got to the desk and ask for Tay.
The receptionist had headphones in
"Excuse me!" Tonya screamed.
The girl removed one ear bud, rolled her eyes at Tonya and said "what you want?"

"Where is Tay Johnson?"
"Room 461"
Tonya walked away from the desk and sped to the room. She muttered "bitch" under her breathe with a snarl.

Tonya hated hospitals. The lights the dead people. The sick people. She hated it all and she wanted nothing more than to get Tay's shit and get the hell out of there.
You see, Tay cheated in the creaky bed Tonya sleeps in without him. He could never keep his dick to himself. His gang had to many girls around for her to keep track of all the nasty hoes they had coming in and out.

She left him and every day he would call begging for her forgiveness and she wasn't having it. She had enough of shitty men and the city she was living in. But Tonya was all he had left so she was his emergency contact on everything.
So she was the one that had to get up, and pick up his belongings when he was shot that night. But not anymore.
Not. Anymore.
