I wake up in a cold sweat and remember and look over to see Marcus sleeping in the hospital bed. I sigh realizing that the dream was only a faint memory. A memory that I continue to relive every night.
"Cat." Anthony whispers entering the room. "You ok?"
"I'm fine. How are you?"
"I'm ok. How's he been?"
"He's been doing good."
"I can watch him now. You go home get some real sleep. You need it for them kids later." I chuckle and give Ant a hug before slowly walking out of the room and down the hall towards the main entrance of the hospital. I sigh as I see Justin slumped in the waiting room chair. I walk over to him and shake him lightly. He slowly opens his eyes and I sigh.
"Come on, Anthony took over my shift and we both have work later." I whisper, he just nods his head and gets up. I walk out of the hospital and into the cool morning air. I walk to my car excited to finally go back home and welcome my beautiful Queen sized bed. Then all of a sudden I'm being pushed against my car.
"Cat we need to talk."
"No! Get the fuck off of me Austin!" I yell angrily.
"No Cat,I gotta tell you bout ya boyfriend Justin."
"Justin isn't my boyfriend and anything you have on him I don't want to know about because it doesn't concern me."
"Right so you're gonna tell me that at that party you two were at, y'all weren't trying to be together? Listen it doesn't matter. That motha fucka is a drug dealer so he ain't good for you. So, watch ya back."
"Right and what gives you the right to say that?"
"I've been with you for 4 years I know what you need. That fuckin asshole ain't it."
"I appreciate you telling me that Austin. Unfortunately, I do not believe you. You will never know what's best for me!" I say sternly. "Now get the fuck off of me and go back to your fiancé!"
"No! Fuck! I'm still in love with you Cat! How can you just throw away 4 years just like that?"
"How can I throw away 4 years?! Do you think it's easy for me to ignore you? Do you think it's easy for me to go to sleep remembering how you beat my ass when you were angry and high on cocaine?! No, now GET. THE. FUCK. OFF. ME!"
"Nah, you will always be mine Catalaya. I'm glad to know that I haunt you in your dreams. We'll meet again ma. You want a nigga to fuck up ya life, then have fun baby." He whispers in my ear while sliding his hand up to my throat. He wraps his hand around my throat and grips it tight.
"You should leave before he comes over here to fuck you up ." I choke out.
"Right because you always need a savior to fight your battles for you."
"Nah she doesn't. Now let my woman go." He jumps and looks at Justin, loosening his grip on my neck a little. "Why are you always tryna mess with my woman?"
"I'm not yours." I cough out before Austin grips my neck again.
"Again why are you trying to mess with what's mine?"
"Cuz she ain't yours she's mine motha fucka. Listen I wasn't even talkin to you."
"But now I'm talkin to you motha fucka! Now get the fuck up off of my woman before you end up in that hospital." Justin says angrily with his gun pressed to Austin's head.
I hear Austin sigh before he let's go of my neck. I double over and cough trying to take in more air than my lungs can handle. I feel Justin begin to rub my back as I try to steady my breathing. Once, my breathing is back to normal I feel Justin slowly wrap his arm around my waist and gently pull me closer to him. My body stiffens at his touch and I begin to zone out as I hear him and Austin exchange a few more words. Soon I notice Austin's back retreating before Justin blocks my line of view.
