Players Regret

Chapter 9

Lauren P.O.V

"GET THIS DAMN BABY OUT OF ME!!!" I yelled, grabbing the doctor then pushing him away after I was for sure he got the point. These contractions were killing me and I was damn near finna give up.

"Sweetie calm down, their doing the best they can. It takes time. It's almost over." Mama tried encouraging me but her words were making it worse.

"Lauren, you have to continue to push. Give me three good pushes." The doctor told me. I did as instructed and finally heard cries coming down from the other end.

"She's here!" The nurses yelled while rushing to grab her and clean her off. I didn't care about anything that was going on. I just needed to rest. "Would you like to hold her?" The

nurse asked me. I shook my head no. The started to fix me up, and in no time I was asleep.

**************************************

"Where's my baby?" I asked looking around the room once I woke up. I was still in the hospital, and I had a banging headache.

Mama stepped to the end of my bed, where a machine thing was sitting. "She's right here. What are you going to name her?"

I shrugged, "Chanel? Lanae? I don't know. I'll figure it out. Bring her here." Mama rushed to my side with my new baby girl and held her. Looking into her eyes I seen nothing but Man Man. This is definitely his baby.

"I came as soon as I got the call. You alright?" A males voice spoke getting my mind all discombobulated.

"What the fuck?"

Dj P.O.V

I lowkey think Quanae tryna pull the same shit I pulled. Missing her was a understatement.

She hasn't called, came out, nothing and i'm just waiting for her at any time now. What if she doesn't come back?

"She'll be back homie. Just let it go. Right now, just turn the fuck up." Dontae said handing me a shot of some type of brown liquor and reading my mind. It's been a week, and he insisted that I come over his crib for this kick back to get Quanae off my mind. Of course that's easier said than done.

"Man, yo word ain't bond. What if she don't? I'm telling you D, she heard what I said to Tish." I shook my head while throwing the shot back. The taste sent a hard core linger down my throat, but the taste was satisfying, taking away the pain I needed to go away.

"Have you called her? Tried to figure out anywhere she could be right now? I mean, if you really loved her, you'd be out looking for her." He shrugged while taking a body shot off some female he invited over.

I thought about what he said for a second. He was right. The only thing is, Quanae has nobody, therefore who would she stay with? The only people I could think of is my mama, and a white girl she use to work with. My mama hasn't called me to tell me Quanae was over there so i'ma guess she not there.

"What you gone do man?" Dontae looked at me for a second and shook his head. "Until you figure it out. These bitches walking around here, you better snatch you one."

I shook my head and got up. This definitely was NOT where I wanted to be. I needed to find my bae, and that's real.

***********************************************

I let the night past by smoothly. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. I didn't get home from Dontae's kick back until about 3 in the morning, and I was half way fucked up. It's a surprise I was able to make it home safely. How I got here? I don't know. Maybe God was on my side.

Lil D was still at Tish's house for the next couple of days so this was my free time to have the little bit of fun I've never had.

I rolled over to see it was 1 in the afternoon. I shook my head and started to get out the bed before there was a knock on the door.

I sighed loudly, then made my way to whoever the hell was knocking. "Who is it?" I yelled when I was close enough to hear it.

"POLICE! OPEN UP!" They yelled over while banging on the door some more. I rolled my eyes. If it was one thing people hated, was when people came to their door. I opened the door slightly, then opened it up more when I was sure it was the police. "Can we come in?" A tall black police officer asked. I nodded and him and his partner stepped in.

"I'm officer Garrett, and wanted to know if you knew someone by the name of Quanae?" The officer asked while looking deep in my eyes to see if I was telling the truth.

I looked at him like he was crazy. I know Quanae couldn't have did something as stupid to where she'd get arrested.

"Yeah. That's my girlfriend. Why wassup?" I looked at them waiting for the response they have yet to give me.

"I'm sorry, but it was reported that she was found dead down at Parkview park around eleven o clock this morning. We needed someone to come down to the precinct to identify the body..." The rest of what the officer was saying was a blur.

I felt warm tears streaming down my face at the though of Quanae ending her life because of some stupid words I made up in my head and aired out.

I felt stupid and numb. It just couldn't be. I couldn't intentionally hurt her. It wasn't on purpose, and if I never get to say i'm sorry for the dumb ass thing I've down. I'd never forgive myself.

The officer waved his hand in my face. "I'm sorry for you lost sir, but will you be able to

come down and view the body?" Police Garrett asked interrupting my thoughts.

I nodded my head slowly, grabbed my keys, and followed the officer out of my crib before locking it up. All the way to the precinct, my body was shaking and turning.

"How did you guys know it was her?" I asked still trying to figure out if it was really her or not.

"Name tag. It was never said if the body was her or not because the body has sat for some time now. The skin has settled and became black. You might not be able to identify her, but you'll never know unless you try.

I nodded my head as we pulled up to the precinct. This was it. We walked in, into some room that was filled with large file cabinets. I wasn't a dummy. I know exactly what those cabinets held.

On one of the metal beds, laid a body covered with white sheet. I guess this was the body I was suppose to view.

"Pull it back." Police officer Garrett instructed the lady that was dressed in all white.
