Naomi

"Honey, honey I can see the stars all the way from here...

Can't you see the glow, on the window pane...

I can feel the sun whenever you're near...

Every time you touch me I just melt away.

Now everybody askin why I'm smilin out from ear to ear...

(They say that love hurts) But I know... (But I know) it's gonna take the real work.

Nothings perfect, but it's worth it, after fighting through my fears.

And finally you put me first!"

I was dancing round the kitchen singing my heart out. Trent had me on cloud nine and I don't ever wanna come down.

"Baby it's you. You're the one I love

You the one I need!

You're the only one I see.

Come on baby it's you!"

I was cooking for him in my brand new lingerie set with my heels and my hair hanging down low but a lil messy. I couldn't wait for him to get home cause tonight imma do him right. Khalil never really appreciated when I did stuff like this for him, but I'm glad another man does.

Trent

It was 10:00 pm and a nigga was tired. Coach been trippin lately and running us like crazy. I txt Naomi to let her know I was on my way.

"Damn!"I cussed out loud.

My phone was only on 10% and I let Naomi get my car charger the other day. I got into my car when my phone started to ring.

"Talk to me."

"Trent?! Aye man look, Nicole been shot!"

"What?! What happen bruh?!"

"Look we at Georgia Infirmary, I'll tell you when you get here."

"Shit man!"I said throwing my phone somewhere in the car.

I did 100 on the freeway.

Lord God,

Please let Nicole be ok. She means so much to all of us, it just wouldn't be a family without her."

I finally pulled up to the hospital and got out my car. Now for those of yal who've read previous stories before this then you'll know what's goin on, but I'll tell yal my point of view.

I ran straight into the emergency room and saw Brandon nervously tapping his foot. "Bruh what happen?"

"Remember that crazy bitch Veronica and Nicole ex Jermaine?  Well Jermaine shot Nicole! He shot ha bruh!"he said breaking down.

Ian never seen him cry and it hurt me bad. "Ian protect her like I should have man. I failed her bruh."

"No you didn't! Don't say no shit like that. Look Brandon you gotta be strong, for Nicole-"

"And the baby."he said cutting me off.

"Baby? You ain't tell me she was pregnant!"

"I didn't even know!"

"Damn."

Everyone else started to pile in and Brandon told us all what happened. So if you really wanna know I suggest you read Keeping the Promise.

I was hurting for him. I was pissed too cause she ain't tell nobody bout the baby, but all that matters right now is that she and the baby ok.

Naomi

It's midnight and I know damn well his ass still ain't at no damn practice. I cannot believe this. Once again I put my all into something that turns around and slap me in the face. I've been calling him back to back and every time, I get voice mail. My heel was anxiously tapping the wooden floor and my jaw was clenched with anger. I am not going through this again.

I heard keys at the door and the door swung open. In walked Trent lookin drained and tired. Mhm, probably from fuckin some bitch.

"Where the hell you been Kha- Trent?!" Shit.

"So use to him comin in late, you ready to call his name."he said walking towards the steps.

I blocked his way. "Where you been?!"

"The hospital."

"Oh really? Cause I been callin ya phone, sending you txt-"

"My phone died."He said waving his phone in my face.

"What about your car charger?"I said folding my arms.

"Lent it to you." Damn. I still ain't fallin for it. "Anything else?"

"Don't get a attitude! I'm sittin here at this house waitin on you, slaving in the kitchen, and calling yo phone!"

"I told yo ass where I was! Why you still grimming me?!"he said with bass

"Cause you was probably out with some bitch!"

"Got dammit Naomi!"He said raising his voice making me jump. "Just cause I come home late one fuckin night don't mean I'm cheating on you! Nicole is laying up in a hospital bed because she was shot and lost her baby that nobody knew about!"

I could see the frustration and anger from tonight's event coming out of him. "I-i sorr-"

"Save it! If you can't trust me then why are we together?! You damaged ma!"he said brushing pass me.

He left me there stunned and mouth wide open. He's never yelled at me before. I walked back to the kitchen and put up the food and washed all the dishes. I crept up the steps and went into the guest bedroom I slept in the very first night I stayed here. I really fucked up this time.
