JUNIPER

Chapter VII

       The devastating news about Reagan definitely killed Sai'Yanna's vibe. All she could think about was someone hurting Reagan. If I was home this wouldn't have happened, she thought to herself. No matter how hard she tried she just couldn't stop the tears falling from her eyes.
   She stared out of the airplane window, looking at the clouds, she avoided any conversations with Bricks. She knew he'd ask her a million times if she was okay. He held her hand the whole way home, giving her a sign of comfort. The flight seemed to take forever, the only thing Sai'Yanna wanted to do was get home to her girls side. God please let her be okay. Please let her wake up. I need her to be okay, God please. Sai'Yanna prayed to herself. God had always played a big part in her life and He never steered her wrong. She knew why she was hurting so badly, this lifestyle they were living consumed them in the worst way and Reagan probably tried to turn a trick and it went terrifyingly wrong.

  When they touched down back in New York, Sai'Yanna rushed to get her bags, fleeing the airport. "I gotta get to my girl." She requested an Uber minutes before their plane landed, leaving Bricks standing alone in a busy airport. He felt her frustration and didn't hold her from handling her business. Sai'Yanna threw her bags in the trunk of the Uber, hopping in.
   She pulled out her phone calling Silk, waiting for him to answer. "Hello?" Silk answered. "Hey I'm back in the city. What hospital she at?" "We at Kings County. I been sittin' here for hours with no info. I'm tired as fuck Sai, for real." "Aight I'm on the way." They ended their call as the Uber stopped in front of her house. "Thank you", she said rushing to get her bags. Sai'Yanna unlocked her place walking her bags up to her room. Walking past the second floor she noticed a couple of things out of place. It looked as if though Reagan put up a fight. What the fuck happened in here? Was she fighting someone? And if she was then who the fuck did she have in my house other than Silk?" Sai'Yanna thought to herself as she investigated Reagan's room. She rushed down the stairs snatching her keys off of the counter and headed to the hospital.

     Sai'Yanna arrived at the hospital seeing Silk sleeping in the waiting room. She walked over to him, waking him up. "Did they say anything?" She asked, shaking his arm. He squirmed out of his sleep, laying his eyes on Sai'Yanna. Silk skin was so pale and his eyes were puffy as if he'd been crying all night. "They ain't say nothin' yet." "You been here all night?" "Yeah, I can't afford to lose the only girl I wanna be with Sai." Sai'Yanna took a step back hearing what Silk said. He liked fucking with Reagan but he never expressed how he felt. "Go home and get some rest", she said rubbing his head. "Nah ima stay here until she wake up." Sai'Yanna wasn't going to fight him on it. She went over to the reception desk. "Hey how are you? Do you know how what room is Reagan Chavez is in?" The receptionist paid her no attention, not taking her eyes off of her clipboard. "Are you a relative?" "Yes she's my sister. Now can I get the room number?" Sai'Yanna was growing impatient. "Miss please take a seat and be patient." "Look bitch my sister is back there fi fighting for her life and you gone tell me to relax? Give me the damn room number!"

The receptionist looked at her in disbelief. "What's her name?" "Lady I just said Reagan Chavez. Are you deaf?" Sai'Yanna yelled, slapping the sign in sheet off of the counter. "Ma'am you're being out rate and I'd advise you to calm down before I call security", she said in fear. Leena walked into the hospital seeing a side of Sai'Yanna she never witnessed. She walked up to the desk with the flowers, signing the sheet. Sai'Yanna couldn't believe her eyes, she could've sworn they were done with her. "What the fuck you doing here bitch?" "I came to see a friend", Leena said in a cocky tone. "That ain't yo friend Leena and you know that." Sai'Yanna's anger went through the roof.
  What happened to Reagan had Leena's name written all over it and Sai'Yanna knew it. "Right now isn't the time for real. What happened?" "I wouldn't know cause I was in Vegas. But after I watch the footage from the cameras in my house ima find out what happened." Sai'Yanna brushed Leena's shoulder, taking a seat next to Silk.
