    Sai'Yanna was coiled up on the couch as the soothing 90's slow jams flowed through her home. She stayed up majority of the night waiting on Bricks, who promised to dedicate the night to her and her only. Being that she was going through so much lately, he wanted to show her that he was still there for her. Reagan called Sai'Yanna's phone repeatedly to make sure she was alright but she received no answer. Walking into their dimmed, well candle lit home, Reagan seen how pretty Sai'Yanna decorated the place for her night with Bricks but it was no sign of him around. She walked over to Sai, caressing her hair. Sai squirmed in her sleep finally waking up, seeing it wasn't Bricks. The sight of Reagan made her blood boil. Bricks promised tonight was for me. I'm so over this shit, I wouldn't give a damn if he was with someone else or giving the streets all his time but I'm not about to hurt myself trying to keep his mind on what's really important. Sai'Yanna thought to herself.  She sat up on the couch, brushing her hair out of her face shaking her head. Sai got up blowing out all of the candles, palming her face into her hands. Her feelings were hurt as she cried, leaving mascara stains streaming down her cheeks.
   "I'm so over this shit! I don't even know why I keep trying! I'm wearing myself out trying to keep up with Bricks ass and for what? Im gone lose this baby stressin myself out about Benjamin's ass!" She cried out. Reagan didn't know what to say, her and Silk weren't perfect but they weren't going through anything compared to Bricks and Sai'Yanna. Silk knew exactly what was going on and he was leaving Reagan and Sai'Yanna in the blind to keep Sai from getting hurt. He knew how she was and he knew how Reagan was about her; overprotective. Reagan eased her way over to Sai, pulling her in for a comforting hug. "Let it out girl, don't keep that shit bottled up. I know you're hurting and you know I'll do anything for you Yanna." Sai'Yanna cried onto Reagan's shoulder, not saying another word. She was releasing all the hurt, guilt and pain she held onto her heart for months now.

   Sai'Yanna pulled away giving Reagan a weak smile, wiping underneath her eyes. "What would I do without you?"
   "I don't know girl, probably go ape shit", Reagan laughed. Sai'Yanna laughed sitting down at one of the bar stools. "AGGHHHHHH", Reagan yelled out, collapsing to her knees. Sai dropped down to her side hurriedly. "What's wrong? Is it the baby?" Sai'Yanna went into automatic mother mode. She ran to her phone, dialing 911 as she seen a pool of blood surround Reagan as she lie balled up on the floor. "This is 9-1-1. What's your emergency?" The dispatcher said in a polite tone. "Um, I think my sister is having a miscarriage, I don't know she covered in blood please send someone fast. PLEASE!" Sai'Yanna panicked. "And what's your address ma'am, we'll send someone right away." "It's 31 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, New York. PLEASE HURRY!" Sai'Yanna hung up the phone, running back to Reagan's side.

   The paramedics arrived, rushing to Reagan's side quickly putting her cringing body into the back of the ambulance. Sai'Yanna grabbed her phone, as tears flooded her face, calling Silk.
  "Hello?" He answered the phone, talking over the loud background.
   Sai looked at her phone in disbelief. These niggas really don't give a fuck about us. Reagan is done with his ass too. I'm callin it. She thought to herself before opening her mouth.
    "You need to get yo ass down to the hospital. I really think Reagan is having a miscarriage Silk." She hung up in his face taking a look in the mirror. She was covered in her friends blood, knowing that this was exactly what she knew it was. And Reagan heart was going to be broken into a million pieces.

                               💋💋💋💋💋

    Sai'Yanna rushed to the reception desk. "Hi, I'm looking for Reagan Chavez."
"Yes ma'am, she's in Room 346." "Thank you so much", Sai'Yanna ran towards the elevator. Entering the room, seeing it was Reagan by her lonely sound asleep with tear stains on her cheeks. Sai'Yanna kisses her girl on the forehead, taking a seat by her side. The doctor came into the room. "Umm hi, how's she doing?" The doctor let out a deep sigh, taking a look at Reagan then Sai'Yanna. "She's not going to be doing good for a while. Losing a kid will take a toll on you. And judging by her face, she's hurting." Sai'Yanna gulped looking down at her poking stomach, mentally praying she wasn't next.
"Doc I'm saying, what caused her to have a miscarriage?" "Warfarin." He replied dryly.
"Warfarin? What's that?"
"It's a blood thinner that's used to treat blood clots and prevent them but judging by her test that we ran, she had a severe amount in her system. She's thankful to be alive tonight." Sai'Yanna was in a state of shock, the doctor left the room once more leaving them alone. Sai flopped down in her seat, looking at Reagan. She couldn't believe her girl was doing so much harm to herself. But why? She thought. Hearing the door open once more, she wiped her tears seeing Silk and Bricks walk into the room. Sai'Yanna was disgusted at the sight of them. They made her stomach turn. Right when they needed Bricks and Silk the most, they were somewhere fucking off.
