All That Matters

Lies

Jaye POV

I woke up around 10 to go to the hospital to go see Chris. I didn't tell my momma what happened last night cause lately she been acting real negative. So I just keep things to myself.

I got in my car and drove to the hospital. Once I got in I went straight to the elevator going up to his room.

Once I reached his door I peeked in and saw that he was still sleep or you could say his coma. I walked in and sat by his bed.

“Hey Chris, I just came here to see how you're doing”

"......."

I sighed and laid back getting frustrated that he couldn't hear me.

“Ugh, Chris I wish you could hear me... you only been in a come for a day and it feels like a month, I miss you so much” I said laying my head on his bed.

I grabbed his hand and rubbed it with my thumb. I couldn't help but cry, I know he's gonna be okay it's just scary.

I hate that I don't know what happened to him. All we know is that the police was involved, cause the investigators found a ticket for speeding and when Michael found him he still had handcuffs on. I honestly think the investigators are stalling cause all they gotta do is get the policeman that signed the ticket.

“Chris.... I need you to wake up please. If you don't do it for me do it for your parents”

“............”

I leaned in and kissed his forehead “Maybe I should just give you some time, you'll wake when you're ready”

The rest of the time I spent with him I just chilled, I talked to him occasionally. He would move his fingers and flinch a little, so that's a good sign. Hopefully he'll be up tomorrow cause I have a strong feeling that he will, and not tryna sound selfish or anything but I really wanna go to prom. And prom is in a couple of weeks.

After two hours of hanging at the hospital with Chris I decided to hang with my girl Nicole.

*                           *                         *

After a short drive I finally made it to Nicole house. I knocked on the door and she let me in.

“How you feeling lately?” Nicole asked walking into the kitchen.

I went in her living room and sat on the couch across from the T.V.

“I could be doing better but the fact that Chris is in the hospital.....ain't making that possible”

“Yeah I feel you and Michael's been feeling down” she said sitting down.

“Yeah that's his best friend so I understand”

“He goes on and on bout how it's his fault why Chris is in the position he's in”

“Why would he feel like that?” I said shifting in my seat.

“I mean Chris and Michael had to make a drop together, that's why Chris was out the house”

I got my train of thought together trying to figure out what the fuck she meant by a drop. Cause If it's a kind of drop I'm thinking of...... Houston we have a problem.

“You talking about drugs....when the fuck did this happen and why didn't I know?”

“Chris ain't tell you?” she said looking confused.

“Tell me what?!?”

“Michael asked Chris to start dealing with him and his boss”

“Really out of all people Michael asked him to start doing that” I said standing up and pacing around.

“Aye don't blame this all on Michael cause Chris could've said no”

“I know that, it's the fact that as his best friend you wouldn't want him doing that shit” I said turning towards her.

“I understand that but Chris knows right from wrong just like Michael does and hopefully after his coma he'll take this as a sign and leave that shit alone”

I sat back down on the couch and just stared in mid air pulling my curly hair out my face. I was really becoming frustrated cause as much as I wanna blame somebody for this I can't.

“Umm Nicole I'll see you later”

“Alright, I love you okay and be careful” she said walking me to the door.

“Love you too”

I got in my car  and drove to the house hoping my momma wasn't there, cause I ain't got time for her negativity. I pulled in my drive way and sure enough she was here.

I got out my car and walked to the door unlocking it. Once I stepped in the house I saw about 2 hennesy bottles and a big bottle of patron. And I could hear her loud ass singing some old ass blues song.

“Jaye where were you all damn day?” my mom said coming down stairs.

“I was hanging with Nicole today”

I made my way around her and up to my room. I sat on my bed and dialed my dad's number.

“Hello?”

“Hey daddy!!”

“Hey Jaye I've been waiting for you to call me”

“I've just been busy” I said walking back to my door closing and locking it.

“What could an 17 year old possibly be busy with”

“You remember Chris?... Well he's in the hospital”

“Oh wow, how is he?”

“He's in a coma but I have a feeling he'll wake up tomorrow”

“That's good, I'll keep him in my prayers. Not to get off topic or anything but how is your mom”

“She's been acting strange” I said laying on my back on my bed.“She been drinking a lot and being negative, it's so bad that I wish she was never home”

“Oh your momma didn't tell you?”

I'm so tired of people not telling me things.

“Tell me what” I sighed.

“I'm filing for divorce....cause after all this time while she was accusing of me of cheating her black ass was cheating”

“You're serious daddy?, how did you find out?”

“She was cheating on me with one of my former co-workers, how you think she knew I wasn't at work, cause he was reporting to her”

“Wowww that's crazy.... daddy ima call you back”

“Okay.... don't mention anything to your momma”

“I won't, love you daddy” I said hanging up.

Even though I didn't show it I was highly angry. I was mad cause my mom went through so much trouble tryna figure out if my dad was cheating or not,but she was.

Aye y'all wassup!! Sooo I've been thinking about doing an August Alsina story. Well I already started I just haven't posted it yet, cause I wanted to wait until I get more reads on the other books I already have. But I will definitely tell y'all when I post it.
