His Only Daughter

Chapter 5

Hakeem POV

Bri just passed out when they told her that there was no survivors. I checked her pulse and she was still breathing. 

Me-Tris go get me some cold water.

She ran back to get some cold water and when she came back,  I put some on Bri's face.  She opened her eyes and looked up at me then the two military guys.

Bri-What happened?

Me-Bri, your mom is gone.

Bri -I know. She's overseas for a few more years.

Me-No Bri. She died this morning.

She looked up at me.

Then she grabbed her phone and dialed her mama on face time.

She didn't answer so Bri called her back.

Me-Bri. She's not going to answer. She's gone baby girl.

Bri-No.  She can't be gone.  She can't be!

Bri kept dialing her number over and over again.  And it kept going to voicemail.

Bri broke down crying in the middle of the floor.

I can't believe she's gone. No. She can't be gone. That's my mom. I just know that she's not gone. They lying to me. They lying.

I broke down in the middle of the floor crying.

My dad picked me up and held me close to him while I cried.

Dad-Its gon be ok Bri. I promise u it's gon be ok.

I broke out of his grip and ran up to my room and locked my door.

I took out my phone and started looking at all of the pictures of me and her.  I started crying again. I have my family but that's my mommy. I'm never going to see her again.

I laid down and cried into my pillow. I eventually cried myself to sleep.

I think I'm just gon let Bri have a lil time for herself. She hurting right now and I know she need some time for herself so that she let this all sink in. Cause right now, she haven't really realized that her mama gone forever.

I hate seeing my baby girl like this tho. It hurt my heart to see her hurting like this.

My pops came in the front door. He been gon for the last week at this lil convention thing and he don't know of nothing that happened since he been gone.

He came in and hugged everybody and then asked where Bri was at.

Me-She upstairs in her room.

Pops-Why she in her room?  She not in trouble is she?

Me-No. Her mama passed away this morning.

Pops-Damn. How is she taking it?
Me-She in denial right now. She don't believe that it's real.

Pops-Imma go check on her.

He walked upstairs to check on Bri.

Keshawn-Is Bri gon be ok?

Me-Yes she'll be ok soon.  She just need some time.

I was laying here in my bed looking at more pictures of me and my mom when someone knocked on the door.

He walked over and sat next to me.
