Chapter 34

Nalijah Thomas

I gazed at the clock on the wall as it continuously made a ticking noise. I was stuck. How did my life come to this? Just a couple weeks ago, I was the happiest, now I feel as if I'm mourning. I had so many questions, but I knew not to question God's work.

"Aye bro, you ite'?" August asked as he walked into the hospital room. I just mugged him.

"Nigga what da' fuk' kinda question is det'? My girlfriend don' been laid up in dis' hospital bed fa' bout ah' week and ya' askin' me dat' stupid shi. Do I look fuckin' ight'?" I yelled. He was a little taken back by the sudden anger I had.

It had been four days since we found Jala. The worst four days of my life. I may have lost two of three of the most important people in my life. Jala's in a coma. Doctors don't know if my son gone live or not. Shit just not going so good for me right now.

Egypt stepped into the room a little. August shook his head no but she spoke anyways. "Ny, its ok. I'm here for you. You know that."

I quickly shifted my eyes to Jala then back to my sister, "You a fuckin' lie dawg, ion' know shit. When I fuckin' needed you man. Where tf were you? You know you was the only fuckin' one that I ha--- just get da' fuck out my face girl." I gritted, before picking up Jala's limp hand.

Egypt quickly left out of the room. August turn on his feet to follow her, "Aye man, I get wea' ya cumin' from but dats' my sista' dawg. shit I'm grievin' too, Me and her like dis' *crosses fingers*, just was tryna check on ya dawg."

I laid my head down on the rail, as stray tears fell down my cheek. I stood from the chair that was placed next to Jala's bed. I kissed her lips softly before walking out of the room.

"I'll be back." I said to Gabby, who was about to walk in the room. She nodded. The waiting room area was full of Jala's family. It was funny how I have never seen half of these people before. It's a shame people would rather see you down than up.

I walked out of the hospital and to the parking lot. I stood for about 5 minutes trying to figure out where I had parked. I had been here for four days, I haven't even showered.

After I had found my truck, I quickly had drove to the house and took a shower. On my way out I grabbed a bottle of water, and was out the door. I told myself I was gone drive through the city, but I only wanted to go to one place. And I ended up going.

I parked my truck, then slowly exited out. I stared at the sight for a couple of minutes before making my way up the stairs. I pushed the doors open to the Chapel and looked around to make sure no one was in here. I took a seat in the pew, and stared at the cross. I bowed my head and clasped my hands together:

Dear God,

I know you're probably angry at me because I haven't been here in awhile, but this opened my eyes man. The one girl that has stuck with me through thick and thin? I know you never suppose to question God's work but why man? Why her? She ain did harm to nobody. Why my innocent son? lil man ain even came in the world yet. I feel like part of dis is my fault. Everything bad happens to me. My own mama walked out on me, my mama. She was suppose to be here for me, take care and nourish me, but she walked out. Lord give me the strength to make it through this, lord knows I need it.

"Remember son, God only gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers." A deep voice said. I opened my eyes to see Pastor Brown. He was the pastor of this church and he was also my father's closest friend.

"Unc, I can't handle dis'. She my everything, I don't wanna lose her." I said as tears rapidly fell down my face.

"Listen here boy, God won't give you more than you can bear. He might let you bend but he won't let you break. Just put all your trust into him, and I promise you he'll make everything better. He makes no mistakes Nalijah. He had this all planned out." Pastor Brown said coming over to rub my back.

"Thank you for that." I barely said before my phone started ringing. I pulled it out my back pocket as Gabby name flash across the screen.

"Hello." I said lowly as I looked at the cross.

"Baby where are you?" A inaudible voice mumbled.

"Jay!! baby, oh my gosh I thought I had lost you." I looked over and mouth to Pastor Brown Thank you. He smiled big.

"I'm ready to see you hurry up." She croaked out. I chuckled as I gave Pastor Brown a quick hug.

"I better see you here next Sunday." He said giving me a stern look and pointing to me.

"I promise you, you will Unc!" I smiled before quickly running out of the church and to my truck. I hurriedly drove to the hospital, running many stop signs. When I had got there, I ran to the elevator and waited for it to open.

When it didn't open, I quickly ran up the four flights of stairs. I opened her room door to see everybody crowded around her. I cleared the way and went and hugged her tightly.

As I was hugging her, I looked up at the ceiling and silently thanked God. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be woke right now.

"Where's Ariana?" She asked as she took a long sip out of the cup of water that one of the nurses had just passed her.

"She's out with moms." August said appearing from a corner in the back of the hospital room. As he had finished talking, a nurse that looked very familiar walked into Jala's room holding her charts.

"Hi, my name is Nadia Willis and I'm Jala's nurse,' She popped her gum, then giggled, "Well unfortunately the baby is fine, but there may be some complications with the heart. We're not completely sure yet, but I definitely hope there is some." She laughed and strutted out of the room.

"You better be glad I'm laid up in this hospital bed, but when I get out I'm on ya' head sis. And that's on yo mama!" Jala said throwing the cup of water at her.

"That little bitch!" Gabby said angrily as she followed Nadia out, grabbed her by the hair, turned her around, and repeatedly punched her in the face. "Little stupid bitch! Don't fuck with my sister or my godbaby!"

I was furious. Why would she even stoop so low to talk about a child that's not even in the world yet to defend their self. I placed my head in my hands and proceeded to do as my anger management coach told me to do when I was angry.

Cam walked over and grabbed Gabby who was now kicking Nadia.

"I'm not gonna' stop until I get what's mine. And that's him." She stood up crazily, blood pouring from everywhere except her eyes, and pointed her finger directly at me. I gave her a stank face and threw a milk carton, one of the kids had left, at her.

"Bitch you delusional as hell, if ya' think I'm gon' leave my girl fa' yo skank ass. Get da' fuck outta' hea' wit' det' bullshit." I said as Quinton got up and closed the door in her face.
