~I definitely didn't read over this.!🤦🏾‍♀️ something to hold off.~

Bahja~

"You already know I'm fine. It's nothing."

"Stop saying it's nothing B. That was serious. That shit definitely scared me." Cairen shook his head.

Before I could respond, the door opened and in came Zonnique, Lauren, and Kehlani. I looked straight at Zonnique and it looked like a wave of relief washed over her.

"I told y'all not to tell her." I stated to Lani and Lauren.

"I was gonna find out anyways. Don't hide anything from me." She came over to me on her crutches and Cairen got up to let her sit down.

"What happened?" She asked as she sat down.

"Just a seizure." I shrugged.

"You're saying that like it's normal Bahja."

"For a person with epilepsy it is."

"This isn't the first time is it?"

"No, it's just the first time you've been told."

"Why? Why don't you never tell me anything? When I seen that text message do you know I was on the phone with your mom? You haven't talked to her since she left Bahja, why is that? She literally broke down crying on the phone with me because she misses you so much. You don't text her to see how she's doing, you don't call her, you don't even try and visit. I'm not mad or anything... I just wanna know wassup. This is unlike you."

"I talked to her once when she left. That was when you first got admitted into the hospital and I seen my dad. I told her I seen him and what he had said and she didn't even care. She said oh wow, really Bahja? I was like yes. She then said I gotta go I'll call you back. It's going on 4 weeks since then and I haven't gotten a call back."

"So... What? I'm not understanding."

"She didn't care."

"Do you know why she didn't care?"

"Why Zonnique?"

"Because that's exactly how you used to treat people. I honestly wouldn't have cared either because you're getting a taste of your own medicine. I'm saddened by the fact that your own dad did that to you... But now you see how your words can hurt people close to you. Trust me I know."

I guess she was right. But I learned it's not right and I now know how to treat people how I want to be treated. All I did was nod my head at her.

"How long do you have to stay here?"

"Just a day. Nothing big."

"You've stayed overnight before?"

"Yeah, whenever I told you we had a lock-in at the studio or that I was clearing my head over at Kyla's house, I was here."

"I thought we agreed to tell each other everything."

"It was hard to tell you then."

"Is it hard now?"

"Of course it is. It's impossible to tell my girlfriend when I'm hurting, and when I need to go to the hospital. I know you Zonnique. You'll get so worried and probably end up in one of these rooms yourself."
