A House Divided

Sarah

I roll over in bed and pull the covers off of me. The sun fills my room as I get up to open up the blinds. It's awfully quiet in here. Where are the kids? I walk towards my bedroom door and open it. I stick my head out into the hallway. It's cold and it's too quiet.

"Maraye! Darmaree! Mar!" I call out.  Maraye sticks her head out if her door. But no one else answers. "Maraye where is everyone else?" She shrugs her shoulders and goes into Mar's room. She comes back out with a note attached to a brick. The same type of brick  Darmaree showed us. I take the brick from her and read it.

Oh my god no.

They're gone...why did they leave? Where did they go? I go back into my room and notice that Kris's keys are gone. I look outside the window and see his truck us gone as well. They're really gone. Was it to protect us? But why did Marjorie leave? 

I shake my head. I don't understand and this is frustrating. I need to know if they're ok. I grab my phone off of the nightstand and dial Darmaree's number.

"Hello?" He answers on the first ring.

"Maree! Oh god baby where are you? Are you guys safe? Why did you leave life without telling anyone? I was worried sick!"

"Ma chill. We had to go. To protect you and Raye. Loco isn't dead ma. He's still out there and he's pissed. Then to top it off Crash is still after Mar. We had to leave ma. I don't what I'd do if you two got hurt. Especially since Raye's pregnant. I can't afford something to happen to one of you." He tells me.

"I understand baby. Just please be careful. I want you to call me everyday or text me and let me know that you guys are ok. I really want you home but I get it. I'll let you know if I hear anything about Loco or Crash."

"Thanks ma..I love you."

"I love you and your sister."

"Alright I'll see you when I can."

"Ok...bye baby.." click.

This is so hard. How can we manage without them? I walk over to my bed and lay back down. I cry silently praying that God will watch over my kids.

"Yes ma'am Kris Wilkinson." I ask the receptionist. I decide to come see Kris at the hospital. I come everyday in hopes that he would wake up. But usually He never does. I'm slowly losing hope. What if he doesn't ever wake up from this? 

"Alright ma'am he's in room 307." I nod to her and head towards the room. You'd think that I would know which room he's in now. I knock on the door and walk in to see Navon. I instantly stop and look at him as if I'd seen a ghost.

"Uh hi Sarah...." He says.

"Hm hi..." I walk past him and up to the chair where I usually sit in. "You're small...like your stomach is flat." I put my head down then look back up at him. "I lost it Navon....I lost the baby." He looks at me with sympathy. "Honestly I'm kinda happy...I mean yea I would have taken care of my responsibilities but I won't want a child right now. Especially not with you. I never meant to get you pregnant." He says shaking his head. I just chuckle and look away. I'm not about to stoop to his level. He doesn't or didn't want a child with me that's fine. I don't want a faggot for a baby daddy anyway. Don't get me wrong I love gay people..I have gay friends but this fool right here...can kiss it. I bet if I had a d*** he'd suck it.

I stand up and look out the window and watch the cars go by. It's a beautiful view. I hear the door close and look behind me to see that Navon has left. Good riddance. "Uggh..." I look towards Kris. Nothing. Maybe I'm just hearing things. "Mmmmm." I look at him again. I walk over to him and see him move. His eyes flutter open but he looks disoriented. "Kris?" He moves his eyes in the direction of my voice. "Kris?? Kris can you hear me??" He blinks his eyes. "If you can hear me blink twice Kris." He blinks twice. I run outside into the hallway. "Nurse, nurse he's awake! Kris is awake!" They run into the room and sit him up.  "Kris can you feel this?" The nurse asks. She starts doing reflex tests on his knees and legs but he doesn't move.

They continue to do series of tests on him. The nurse walks over to me. "I'm sorry Mrs. Wilkinson but your husband has no feeling in his legs. He's not paralyzed, it's just going to take some time for him to get his feeling back." I nod my head and she hugs me. I let her go and the other nurses walk back out if the room. "Sarah? " I look up at Kris and he's smiling at me. I walk over to him and he grabs me and pulls me into a hug. "I'm glad you're OK Kris."He nods his head. "I'm glad that I get to wake up to you." I hug him tighter and the nurse walks back in.

"Alright we're gonna keep you for a few more weeks so that you can do physical therapy and get back to talking Alright?" We look at each and both nod to her. 

She nods back and leaves the room again. "Sarah I've realized that life is short... and I don't want to lose my family or myself again. So I forgive you. And let's start over." He says smiling. "I'm sorry too baby. I love you." I kiss him and we hug again.

It feels good to have my man back. I won't mess this up again.
