Jo'Siah's POV
I walked into the hospital room where Mari was, she looked horrible, I can't believe she would do this to herself. I blame myself cause how the fuck I ain't know this was going on? We live under the same damn roof, and I was clueless as shit.
She lost alot of blood and had to have a blood transfusion, seeing her hooked up to all these machines was heartbreaking. She had bandages wrapped around her wrists and her arms were strapped down to the bed. Wtf!
She was sleeping right now, so I pulled up a chair and placed it right next to her bed, I was never gonna leave her side again. The doctor walked in a few seconds later.
"Hi there, I'm Dr. Perry"
"How she holding up doc?" I didn't care about anything he said if it wasn't about Mari.
"She's not doing so well, she can't breathe on her own just yet, and her blood levels still aren't where they need to be, but I have a bigger concern" he flipped through some papers. "She is 6 weeks pregnant, were you aware of this?"
I stopped, I didn't forget entirely but I was so pissed off at myself to remember.
"Yes doc I am"
"And are you the father?"
I looked at Mari for a few seconds, then back to the Doctor. "Yes sir I am"
"And what's your relationship to the patient?" He asked, looking real concerned.
"I'm her best-" I paused for a minute, "I'm her boyfriend"
"Well I'm sorry to say but if she doesn't become stronger during her stay, she won't be able to carry the child for much longer" the doctor began to walk out, before he did, he turned around and spoke. "by the way, she does have a visitor"
I swear to God I almost lost my shit when Damian stepped in the room. We did not need this shit right now, Mari needs me to be strong for her and I can't do that if I lose my cool, so I'm trying to stay calm.
I stood up and got in his face. "You got a lot of fucking nerve coming here"
"Bro chill the fuck out, I just came to check on her" this nigga was talking like he gave a fuck about her.
"She don't need you to check on her, that's what she got me for, how you even know she was here?" Cause I sure in the hell ain't call his ass.
Damian pulled out his phone. "She sent me this text about two an a half hours ago.
From: Mari🙄
I hope you fucking happy, you hurt me more than words can explain, I can't live my life with the hurt and pain you've caused me over the years, you never valued my worth, but maybe when I slit my wrist and end it all you'll start to actually care.
My fucking heart broke just reading that shit, this dude real deal finna meet God. I don't know what came over me, but next thing I know I grabbed Damian by the throat, and pinned him against the wall.
"You got 5 seconds to get the fuck out of here before I put you in something worse than a hospital bed"
I let go of him, he didn't say anything or even look my way before walking out the room. I turned to Mari, she was finally awake.
Mariana's POV
I woke up to Jo'Siah pinning Damian against the wall, seeing Damian made my whole body tense up, but seeing Jo'Siah made me nervous asf. By the time Jo'Siah noticed I was awake, Damian was gone, thank goodness.
"Hi you!" Hearing his voice was so comforting.
"Hi!" I could barely talk. I tried to sit up a little but I felt so weak.
"Take it easy baby girl"
I instantly started crying. "Jo'Siah I'm so sorry I put you through this, I just didn't know what to do, I don't wanna live with all this pain" Jo grabbed my hand and climbed in the bed with me and held me.
"Baby you don't have to apologize to me, I'm just glad that you and my baby are okay" I started to panic.
"My baby! Jo is my baby okay?"
"Calm down Hun, Doctor said the baby is fine, but if you don't get stronger, you won't be able to carry for much longer"
"I guess that's for the best, you don't want me or the baby anyways"
"Mari, I love you and not only do I want you, but I want this baby too"
"Don't say what you don't mean Jo'Siah" I turned to look at him. He better not be playing with me, especially in the condition I'm in.
"I'm not kidding, you're mine now and I'm never leaving your side"
"What about school in Cali?"
He didn't speak, he just stared at me and a tear fell.
"Well about that... I'm still going"
"But you just said you were never gonna leave my side again"
"I know but I" I cut him off.
"Just get out Jo'Siah, you're like every other person in my life, you got what you wanted out of me and now you wanna leave, your such a fucking liar" he wouldn't move, so I decided to get up instead. I ripped all the tubes and IV's out of me and went for the door.
"Mari are you fucking crazy?"
"I don't wanna be around you right now, I need someone Jo and you're the only one in my life, if you leave I don't have anyone!" I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and a pool a blood came from under me, I felt weaker and weaker by the second.
"Jos-jo'siah" I tried to reach for him but I hit the floor and everything went black.
