Jayda's Perspective:
After hours of doing 20 over the speed limit and a traffic ticket I'm back in the city. I pick up the phone and call Junior. He answers on the first ring.
"Where you at?"
"The crib"
"Where's Mani?"
"Just come to the house for right now baby. I promise I'll explain everything when you get here."
I'm pissed at this point. I just hang up and make my way to his place as fast as I can. I keep praying. I can not lose her. Mani and Junior all I got left. I finally pull up to his house. I get out of the car wiping the tears from my eyes. Before I even get to the door he opens it. He got his car keys in his hand.
"C'mon" he motioned his head to the car.
"Junior tell me what's wrong."
"Baby get in the car and I will tell you."
"IM NOT FUCKING MOVING UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHATS WRONG WITH MY BEST FRIEND!"
"Jay, she's in the hospital. I don't know what's wrong with her. Dave went over when you asked him to and he found her. I'm trying to get you to the hospital so we can find out what's wrong with her."
I felt my hands start shaking immediately. I don't know what to say or do.
"Come on ma." He grabs my shaking hand.
He pulls me gently, walking me to the car. He opens my door and closes it behind me once I sit down. I can feel the tears coming but I can't let them fall. I can't let him see me like this. I quickly wipe my eyes before he gets to his side of the car. I can feel my heart thumping in my chest.
... the whole ride to the hospital was silent. We pull up and I reach for the door handle but I hesitate. I take a breath and open the door. Jr grabs my hand as we go inside. We approach the desk where a older black woman is sitting and typing.
"Hi, how can I help you today sweetheart?" Her words are warm and for a second they make me feel better.
I cleared the tears from my stinging throat. "I'm looking for Karmani Carson" I say with the voice I have left.
"C.A.R.S.O.N" she spells.
"Ms. Carson is in room 324. Take that elevator up and head to your right."
"Thank you" I say before following her instructions.
The walk down this hall feels like it's in slow motion. I haven't felt like this since my granny. I finally she the room number. I go hesitantly go in, she's sleeping. Some of the weight is off of my chest, she not bleeding or hooked up to any machine so it can't be that bad. Right? I walk to the side of her bed and kiss her face.
Her eyes open just a little.
"Hay bestie" I say gently
"Hay bestie" she says. She tired I can tell.
"What happened Mani" I asked fighting tears.
She looked at me with tears in her eyes. "Jay, I lost my baby."
"Mani I'm sorry about Jamal but I wanna know what happened to you."
"No. I was pregnant Jay, I lost my baby."
I silently placed my hand over my mouth.
"Oh my god. Mani I'm so sorry." Tears fell down my face.
I feel so awful. When I first met her she always told me how much she wanted to be a mother. I never meant for any of this to go so bad. I leaned down and hugged her. She wrapped her arms around me with all of the strength she had. She mumbled something into my chest. But I couldn't hear her.
