Round 2

_________Emergancy Room________

----Dameon POV----

       Wes took Meh back to her room, and I took Melia to the ER like ma said. I was still in a small state of disbelief and taking back by the brazenness of Pop's trying to come between me and mines. What was he trying to do? He had to know it wouldn't be that easy or maybe he did, and he was trying to see how deep she was in this with me.

“Amelia Lafuentes” the nurse called. We both got up and followed this older white lady to an exam room. She took Melia's vital signs and asked her a few questions, after which she stepped out to get a few supplies, leaving us alone for a bit.

     Although I was pissed off by the fact that she had gotten hurt I was very proud that my baby sent the message loud and clear but I still couldn't allow her to be put in this position again at least without her knowing why this happened in the first place.

    Wes finally showed up but was at the nurse's station in some females face leaving me to tend to Melia per usual. The nurse came back in an irrigated the minor cuts on her hand and given her a shot of antibiotics. Seems she cut her hands on his teeth, trapping bacteria from his mouth in under her flesh. She had to sit here for a little while longer while they went to get her aftercare instructions and discharge papers. I guess now is as good as time as any to tell her what I know, well at least parts of it anyway.

“He knows, Pops knows about us.”

    She stopped picking at her hand and gave me the most confused “what” look.

“He has had someone following you for a while now.”

   I could read her expressions before the words can make its way to her mouth.

“Don't ask me why because I don't know. Maybe we did something to spark his suspicions, but either way he knows, and he doesn't approve. I'm willing to bet that's why that shit show at your party just happened. I'm sorry babes, I shouldn't have let it get this far without them knowing.”

“This isn't just on you D, we both made this decision.” 

“Yea but I'm supposed to be the one to watch out for you and keep you safe and tonight I didn't do that.”

“Oh lawd not this again!” she sighs as she rolls her eyes. “ You can't protect me from everything and everybody D and you were right in between me and ole buddy when it mattered.”

“But if I was at your side where I was supposed to be than none of this would have ever happened.”

    She reached out for me, but feeling ashamed I backed up a little. I knew she wanted to reassure me she was ok and this wasn't my fault, but I knew all of it was. As soon as I moved that expression of love vanished and was promptly replaced by that familiar look letting me know shit was about to hit the fan.... She was about to ask me questions I didn't want to answer. “How long have you known about this?”

Called it!

    I leaned up against the sink and unbuttoned a few more buttons in my shirt it was quickly heating up in here and I knew I had to tread carefully not to say too much to her.

“Unc made me aware of the situation when I saw him the other day.”

“ Hold up I asked you if everything was all right and you told me it was just business.  Wait! What does Unc have to do with any of this?” she questioned.
