A MEMPHIS CRY

Chapter 22

      
(Why you gotta do me like that)

                Lexis

Doctor Jane looked down at her clipboard then back at me with a puzzled face. "Lexis have you been eating and drinking right"?
I simply nodded my head and looked away, I didn't even wanna be here but I knew I had to attend my doctor's appointment today because I missed the last two.
"Well your blood pressure is high" doctor Jane said taking a seat on her stool.

I shoved my shoulders and gave her a blank stare. She removed her glasses and sat them down on the table next to her.
"Lexis you have to take this baby serious especially in your condition. You have to remember you did have a miscarriage and an abortion before and we don't want to complicate things" doctor Jane explained.

"Look doctor I really don't feel like the speech so if you can just save it because I don't care".
Doctor Jane took a deep breath and write something down on a piece of paper and handed it to me "Lexis I think it may be time for you to pay your therapist a visit. It's been a while and I think it's best For you and the baby's health. Lexis your suffering from depression and that's common in pregnancy, but just in case you... Know .... I think she would be good to talk to again".

I looked down at the Paper for a second and looked back at her with a mug on my face "I'm not suicidal".
"May be true but just take my advice and go talk to her just in case. I'll be seeing you back in a couple weeks okay Lexis" Doctor Jane said standing up and leaving out the room.

Depressed??? Depressed??? I'm not depressed... Or am I???

I sat on the bus stop waiting for the bus to come as I placed my headphones in my ears. My attitude was on high right now and I couldn't get King out of my mind. Why wasn't he here for me the way he was there for Tiera??? It really hurt me to my soul that I had lost the love of my life to my bestfriend. I knew I sounded crazy, but I didn't care at all, I started laughing to myself as I dialed his number. After calling him back to back four times he finally picked up.

"Yo" he said in the phone with a attitude.
"Hey lover".
He sighed "Man fuck off my phone with that bullshit" he said which made me laugh again.
"Why you been avoiding me babe"?
"Yo Lex' I don't know why you don't get the picture but I "...
"Ahh shutup nigga I don't wanna hear shit about how happy you is with ya bitch... fuck her at this point" I hissed in the phone.

" You mean the same girl whose been ya bestfriend, the same girl whose held you down plus the same girl who crys to me all the time about how much she loves ya goofy no good ass" He barked.
I chuckled " I don't give a fuck about none of that... she's not my bestfriend... a bestfriend would never steal her bestfriend's man".
"Do you hear ya self dumb ass... how did she steal something that wasn't your in the first place. And on top of that I never mentioned to her that I fucked with you on that level Lexis and that's why I'm going through this shit. I wish she would see you for who you really are, but instead she's blinded because she cares too much about ya ratchet ass".

"Well she needs to stop because believe it or not I'm coming for what's mines... and that's you no matter what I got to do or who I gotta kill behind ya ass you will be with me" I warned. I was sick of the games and I was done with being nice about how I felt.
"Is that a threat Lex' cause baby you know how I am and I won't hesitate to put a bullet in ya ass if something happens to my girl".
"You'll see"I told him.
"Try me bitch... try me and ya ass gon' see just what King's about... done talking" and with that he hung the phone up in my ear.
