New Flame

Chapter 25

Chris's P.O.V I Was Pacing Back & Forth Across The Emergency Waiting Room... Almost Thought I Put A Hole In The Floor But At This Point I Didn't Care.. My Only Care In This World Was That My Baby Girl, My Queen, My World, Shit My Heart Was Gonna Make It... Yeah Michael May Of Survived This Time But He Won't When I Get Done With Him If Aayliah Don't Make It... My Thoughts Were Lost As Soon As I Saw Aayliah's Parents & I Knew They Never Met Me & I Know Now When They Do, They're Gonna Think This Was All My Fault.. I Gracefully With My Head Down Walked Over To Them

"Uh Mr & Mrs Richards" I Said A Lil Choked Up Knowing The Judging Was Coming

"Who Are You?" Mr Richards Had Stated Holding His Wife Rubbing Her Back

"Sir My Name Is Christopher Brown I've Been Seeing Your Daughter Aayliah For A Lil While Now.. I'm So Sorry She's In This Situation Sir

"What Even Happened I'm Still Trying To Understand That" He Said Looking At Me

"Sir This All Started After Michael Her Ex Left Her & Then I Met Her One Night & Since Then He's Been After Her.. I Tried To Save Her But Before I Could, I Was Knocked Out I'm So Sorry" I Said Looking At Aayliah & Holding Her Hand

"Get Away From Her You Thug! This All You're Fault My Daughter Got Shot! Leave & Never Come Back Forget She Ever Existed!" She Yelled At Me Pulling Herself Away From Her Husband

"Ma'am I'm So Sorry Please This Isn't My Fault I Tried To Save Her I Swear I Love Her & Wouldn't Let Anything Happen To Her I Love Her You Have To Believe Me" I Tried To Reason With Her But Knew She Wasn't Trying To Hear It"

"The Lies! You Wasn't Trying To Save Her At All!" She Raised Her Voice & I Figured I'd Just Leave I Kissed Aayliah's Hand One Final Time & Tried To Walk Away But Felt Her Tiny Hand Grab Mine

Aayliah's P.O.V I Started To Come Back & I Didn't Know Where I Was Only Thing I Remember Was I Had Been Shot... I Slowly Started To Open My Eyes & Saw My Parents & Chris & It Started To Make Sense I Was In The Hospital

"B... Babe? If You Can Hear Me I'm So Sorry This All My Fault I'll Respect Your Mothers Wishes & Leave & You'll Never Have To Worry Bout Me Again" He Said Looking In My Eyes Rubbing My Cheek Lightly & Pulling His Hand Away From Mine

"N... No! M... Mom T.. This Isn't H.. His F.. Fault.. Wh... Whatever H.. He T... Told Y.. You Is True H... He Was Trying To P... Protect Me" I Grabbed Chris's Hand Again & Looked At My Parents & Saw My Dad Nod & Knew He Believed Me

"But Sweetheart..." She Tried To Say But I Cut Her Off

"But Nothing Mom He Did Try His Hardest To Save Me... It Wasn't Only Michael Who Kidnapped Me But Chris's Ex Set It Up & Knocked Him Out He Honestly Didn't Know & Then When He Woke Up We Were In Separate Rooms" I Laced My Fingers In Between Chris's & She Saw I Was Telling The Truth

"I Believe You Sweetheart I Really Do" She Looked At Chris "I'm Sorry Young Man I Didn't Mean To Yell At You It's Just Aayliah So Important To Me, She's All I Have" She Walked Over & Gave Chris A Hug & A Smile Came Across My Face

"I Understand Mrs. Richards" He Said Hugging Her Back "She's Important To Me Too & I Hope One Day I Will Be Able To Provide & Show You Guys That I'm Right For Her" He Pulled Away & I Looked Confused As To What He Was Meaning By Providing For Me But I Was Broken Outta My Thoughts As The Doctor Walked In

"Welcome Back Ms. Richards Glad To See You Finally Woke Up.. How You Feeling?" He Asked Checking My Monitors To See How My Rate Right & That Was

"I'm Feeling A Little Sluggish But I'm Okay I'm Glad To Just Be Alive That's All" I Said Letting The Doctor Exam Me

"That's To Be Expected Since The Condition You Were In When Your Boyfriend Brought You In But You'll Make A Full Recovery You Will Need Crutches For Your Broken Leg But Give That 6-8 Weeks To Heal & You'll Be Good As New" He Said Writing What Was Reading On The Monitors Down

"Yes Sir When Will I Be Able To Go Home?" I Asked & Then I Heard My Mom Cry A Little & I Was Wondering Why

"Later Today I'll Go Start On The Discharge Papers Right Now" He Closed My File

"Thanks You Doc" I Said & Saw Him Walk Out & Heard My Mama Still Crying Lightly "Mama What's Wrong Why You Crying" I Grabbed Her Hand & Rubbed The Back With My Thumb

She Wouldn't Answer & So My Dad Stepped Up & Said Something "Uh Sweetheart Your Apartment Got Burned & So Everything Is Gone"

I Looked Down & Realized I Wasn't Gonna Have Anywhere To Stay & Chris Said Something

"Uh Baby If You'd Like, You Can Stay With Me & Everything You Had I'll Buy You New Stuff I Mean My House As You've Seen Is Big Enough" He Lifted My Chin Looking In My Eyes Again Giving Me A Reassuring Smile

"You Sure? I Don't Wanna Intrude On Your Place Or Your Work Schedule Chris" I Was Trying To Be Respectful

"I'm Sure Babe My House Is Your House Whatever You Need, I Got You Okay" He Said Kissing My Forehead

All I Did Was Nod & Tried Getting Up But Chris Stopped Me

"Baby Girl Just Rest Tomorrow We Can Leave Okay" He Suggested To Me & I Knew He Was Right I Mean I Did Just Wake Up

"Okay You'll Be Here When I Wake Up Right?" I Asked Laying Back Down

"Of Course Sweetheart I'll Be Right Here Next To You"

"Okay & Thanks Again Babe"

"You're Welcome Just Go To Sleep"

I Started To Fall Back Asleep With A Smile On My Face Thinking Thank God I Made It.. & That Chris Was Gonna Be Here & Let Me Stay With Him... It's Like God Planned This
