Hidden Figures

Chapter 7

Melania Pov

I woke up it was 3 in the morning with my eyes red, and a pillow full of water.

I couldn't take the way I broke Q, it ended up breaking me down. I went into the kitchen, I sat on the counter looking at silverware my mama and brother were sleep.

It was just me this music and this knife. I grabbed the knife, with tears running down my face, as I cut my left arm two times.

I heard footsteps but I didn't care I continued to cut. "Melania"!!! Mecki said damn near waking the whole neighborhood. I just let my tears flow and he grabbed and took me to the bathroom to patch these cuts up.

I didn't do anything but cry my brother had to see this, he had to see me like this and see me wanna end my life.

You're going so say "about a dude"? When that's not the case it's way more than that.

"Lana what's wrong"?? My mother asked as concerned as I ever saw her. I hated for them to see me like this.

I just broke down more. "I want Q, I want him to hold me right now". I said.

My mother then sat with me and held me as Mecki called Q.

Q was over here in under five minutes. my mama and brother checked on me one last time before going back in there rooms, I knew they weren't going to sleep.

Nobody Pov.

"Come outside". Q said. "It's cold". Melania said.

"Lana we getting in the car, I want you to stay the night with me". Q said.

Melania kinda smiled, Q knew how to make everything better.

We got to his house, and Q took her  to his room and laid her on his chest.

Melania let everything out, and Q didn't do anything but rub her back and support her. Him hearing she tried to kill herself, hurt him.

That's his Bestfriend, his world, his everything. He'd do anything for Lana, he'd give Lana the clothes off his back if she needed it.

So him hearing that put him in a dark place but he didn't show it cause Lana needed love right now.

Sunday Morning. Q Pov

It was Sunday morning, and I couldn't get out Lana grip, so I didn't bother.

I'd usually go to church with my mama but she understood.

Melania got up and ran her fingers through her hair. "I need another twist out bad, I'm so sick of this". She said.

It was 11:30. "I got practice at 1, for this game tomorrow". She said.

I grabbed her by her waist. "You really think you need to go to practice"? I asked her.

"Yes, Savannah still out and I need to be playing". Melania said. "Lana it's still early in the season it's just mid Novemeber, you still got two months of season left". I said trying to reason with her

. "I know but I still need to play, it's my everything Q". Lana said kissing my cheek going to get in the car. I grabbed my keys and took her home.

I got back to the house and Autumn called. "Can I come over or you still got that situation going on"? She said sounding sad.

"Come on Baby". I said tryna sound happy. I mean I was tired, I love Melania but we both know we can't be together.

I try to be there for her and comfort her and keep Autumn and giving Autumn just as much attention and time.

"Hey". She said. "Hey". I said kissing her. "What's wrong"? I asked her and she came and laid in my bed.

"I just miss you". She said. "I'm sorry, I just been busy". I told her.

"It's fine I understand". She said. "You're here with me now, we can spend all day together". Q said kissing her.

"Baby I love you". Autumn said. "I love you more". I said. I was going to have to have a conversation with Autumn and Melania and hope for the best.

Melania Pov.

My mama and brother checked on me I told them I was fine, I really am, I was just at a low point I was alone. But Im be better because this because "I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me".

So I got out the shower put my tights on then basketball shorts and a shirt and put my hair in a slick ponytail (wasn't so slick) and I got in the car and drove to practice.

We practice for about two hours. We ran plays, shoot around , shot free throws and stuff.

It was the third week in November and our record was only 5-2. It was extremely early the playoffs were at the beginning of February but I really don't like to miss practice or games I gotta stay on top of my game regardless. We had three games this week.

Savannah Pov.

I was at practice, I couldn't play till next week, meaning me missing three games.

But I have to workout to see if I can manage getting back on the court. "Isaac Jonathon Taylor". I said as he looked my way all innocent. "Hmm". He said.

"Boy don't hmm me, ima hmm yo ass". I said. As Dre walked into the gym. I ran up to him and got on my tippy toes as he bent down to kiss me and picked Isaac up to shoot the ball in the goal, as he made it he screamed and everybody clapped as Dre handed him back to me. "You ready to go ma". Dre said to me. "yess".'I said smiling.

Dre opened the door for me to get in, and then he strapped Isaac bad ass up in the back.

Then he got in the driver seat and played some love music. He turned the music down, "did you go through plays or run with them"? Dre asked me.

"I did, it's getting better". I told him. "That's good baby". He said pulling into "Whataburger". Dre got Isaac out, and then opened my door as he held my hand and Isaac in the other.

  "You wanna sit with mama or daddy"? Dre asked.

"Mmmmmm .... mama". Isaac said as Me and Issac sat on one side and Dre said on the other.

We ate and talked as Isaac fussed the whole time. "daddy". Isaac said. "Hmm"? Dre said. "So that's where he get Hmm from". I said. "No no no" Isaac said tryna cover me up.  Dre laughed.

We got back home and I saw a cake and some balloons. "Mommyyyyyy". Isaac said bringing a cup into the kitchen that said "best mommy ever". "We appreciate you ma". Dre said kissing her.
