It's so dark. I can't move. I can only hear murmuring. I don't know what happened. All the energy I used to wake up, made me feel exhausted and fall back out

*January, 3 weeks later*

I finally wake up. I slowly open my eyes and realized I couldn't talk. I had a breathing tube down my throat. I started freaking out and fighting and hitting stuff around me. A nurse came in and told me to relax and she'd take it out. Once she removed the tube, I started coughing so bad but stopped as soon as I could. The pain radiating from my neck was excruciating. As I reach to grab my neck in pain, I get a really sharp pain in my arm. I started crying realizing that I didn't know what was going on.

-"Relax baby girl you're just waking up." A familiar voice said to me. My vision is kind of blurry.

-"I prayed that you'd wake up before the holidays but that didn't happen." He said

-"Trey?" I said in confusion

-"Yes baby girl it's me. Do you remember me or anyone else?"

-"Yes but I can't think right now. It's hard to talk." Those couple of sentences worn me out. I'm so tired.

-"Don't worry I got the best nurse in Atlanta to take care of you."

-"Cai? Where's Cai?" I asked as my memory started to become less foggy. He's the last person I remember being with.

-"I'll call him now and tell him you woke up. I'll let the nurse come back in and help you out. I'll come back when Cai gets here."

Trey left the room and I felt so bad. My head was pounding. My whole body aches and I started crying again. The nurse came in and gave me an I.V and some pain killers. I just wanted the pain to go away. After resting my eyes for a little, Cai finally came back in.

-"OMG Nay I've missed you." He said hugging me tight.

-"Chill bestie I'm in a lot of pain right now."

-"I thought you'd never wake up. We couldn't even spend the holidays with each other."

-"The HOLIDAYS?!" I asked in confusion.

-"Babe it's January, you been out for some weeks now."

-"Wait I can't comprehend. I need some fried chicken and French fries. And a tall glass of water because I'm so parched." I said whining.

-"Bitch you annoying as fuck. I'll go get your ass some damn Popeyes."

-"Thank you baby." I say blowing a kiss to Cai. I laid back down trying to get back comfortable. I tried to rest my eyes but Trey walked back in the room.

-"Are you coherent enough to have a conversation with me." Trey said while leaning on my chest.

-"Yeah kind of... wassup babe." I said on accident.

-"We missed a lot of time with each other and I want it back before you leave me."

-"What do you mean by that?"

-"Because of your situation, we couldn't spend Christmas together, you put me into a depression, AND your main nigga been on my ass about seeing you."

-"You mean Devyn? I actually need to call him." I said leaning up.

-"No actually I want to you explain to me how this whole time, your pretty ass was in a gang."

-"Listen we not even about to get into that. I just woke up a couple hours ago."

-"Naw you lucky that I was able to save you and have a private nurse to take care you. I need answers. I may not be your boyfriend but don't forget you work still work for me and I need to protect MY company"

Damn it's like that? He's dead serious but I can't be mad at how he feels. He deserves to know everything that happened. But I can't trust telling everyone about my personal business. I need to be scarce on some of these details.
-"Listen Trey." I began

-"I'm listening"

-"This was never supposed to happen. I usually just sell drugs but they needed some help this night. I got caught up and I got hurt." I briefly told him.

-"You expect me to believe it's that simple? I know a thing or two about being in the little clubs and gangs ok. No one would randomly just make you come on something like that."

-"That's the best answer I can give you Trey."

-"Naomi you better pray that no one in my business finds out the real reason why you were hurt ok. My name and my livelihood is on the line. But I did it for you because I care about you. So hit me up when you want to be completely honest." He said as he left the room.

Why is this my life? I can't get through a week because it's so much drama and bullshit. I need my internship hours and I need to be on his good side. While I was sitting here thinking, I remembered again that I should call Devyn. I reached for my phone to call him.

-"Naomi?" He asked answering the phone.

-"Yeah it's me."

-"Omg I've missed you so much no one has given me a reasonable update on you."

-"I'm so sorry that no one told you what happened"

-"It's ok. I was just worried that you'd never get better. That shit is scary." He told me.

-"I know I have to see you but it's hard for me to move. I don't know if I can walk easily or not."

-"I'll come see you. What hospital are you in?"

-"Don't tell no one I told you but I'm in a penthouse in the suburbs in Atlanta I'll send you the address."

-"How the hell you end up over there?"

-"I'll tell you when I see you ok?"

-"Ok just keep texting me until I get there. I won't be able to leave for a few hours so I'll be there around 5."

-"Ok see you later."

I can't wait to see Devyn. I miss him already. I remember how I've neglected him and lied to him and I'm starting to feel so bad. He does everything for me and I just push him to the side for Trey. I need to figure something out.
