This Thing Called Love

*** The Next Day ***

Chanel

I woke up to a sharp pain in my leg which made me moan in pain. I started staring at a white ceiling before looking around and seen some machines and a couch. I realized I was in the hospital.

"Hey ma." Rashad said walking in with a bag of food. "Ya good?"

"I'm fine, it's just my leg is hurting a lot."

"Aight." He began pulling a sub out.

"What happened, why am I here?"

"Ya 'ont remember?"

"If I did I wouldn't be askin' you what happened."

"Damn ma, but when ya and Amarie was fighting, she stabbed ya a few times. Then I gave you a bandanna to tie it up, but you bled too much that the bandana ain't do nothin'. You later passed out and hea we are."

"Oh." I lowly said while looking at the tv. It was an awkward silence between us. "Where's everyone?"

"Everyone?"

"My mom, dad, and Amarie."

"Amarie long gone." Rashad said laughing while biting into his sub. "Ya motha in the bathroom and Mark out smoking."

"Where'd Amarie go?"

"You killed her. Damn this shit good." He refered to his sub.

"What you mean?"

"You stabbed the shit outta ole girl 'till she was dead."

My eyes grew wide as if they were about to pop out of my head. Before I could say anything else my mom and dad walked in.

"Oh your up." She walked over to me and hugged me. "Baby I'm so sorry, this is all my fault."

"Mom."

"No Chanel, I have something to tell you." She took a big swallow before saying something. "Amarie was your sister."

"What do you mean sister? I thought I was the only child."

"When I was younger I did something terrible that I still regret today."

I just looked at her knowing what she was about to say. I was lost for words and shocked. I killed a person which turned out to be my sister. My parents lied AGAIN about something that affects MY life.

"How come is it that whenever you two lie or do something wrong I'm always the one getting punished. YOUR the one who did her dirty not me. I don't see you on a hospital bed for being stabbed more than once." I yelled getting mad.

"I'm sorry." Was all she said to me.

"Sorry doesn't cure this cut on me."

Everyone went silent for a minute. Rashad drunk his juice which made a slurping noise causing me to look at him.

"My bad."

"Oh look who's up." A fine female doctor said walking in. She was thick, Carmel skinned girl with titties and booty. "Okay so we have some not so good news for you Chanel. You might want to brace yourself."

"Okay."

"Well it looks like when you were stabbed that person went at your femoral artery. The femoral artery is the main artery in your leg that provides oxygenated blood to the tissues of the leg."

"What da hell does dat mean." Rashad replied while putting his sub down.

"That basically means that her arte-." The doctor was cut off by Rashad.
