Chapter Forty Nine ( Edited )

The whole family sat in the waiting room of the hospital hoping to hear some good news on Derrick . He'd been in surgery for hours and they hadn't heard anything yet .

" He's gonna be fine " Dekia told Nadia as she laid her head on her lap crying silently .

" You weren't there Dekia , you didn't see all the blood on the ground " She said .

" What happened , exactly? " Zo asked as he glanced over at Darkayla who had been quiet the entire time . She felt guilty and if Derrick didn't make it she was never going to forgive herself.

" I don't know , after he left out the house from dropping damari off I just heard a bunch of gunshots it sounded like the fourth of July and then I heard tires screeching and him calling my name. I went outside to check on him and he was laid on the ground with blood all over " She said .

He opened his mouth to speak but smacked his teeth when he seen Kierra and Kentrice walk into the waiting room.

" I promise i'm not in the mood for this shit " Nadia complained .

" Neither am I " Dekia agreed . The last thing she wanted to deal with right now was Kentrice and Kierra's bullshit while her brother was fighting for his life.

" Just ignore them , if they say something don't feed into their bullshit " Zo told them .

" They have no business being here anyways " Dekia stressed.

" I agree .. don't worry i'm about to handle them " He said as he stood up and walked over to the two of them. " What y'all doing here ? "

" I heard my baby got shot and I wanted to make sure he was okay " Kentrice said causing him to chuckle .

" ain't y'all been broke up for months ? cut the bullshit trice you came to start drama like you've been doing since y'all broke up and now isn't the time or place " He said .

" Im not starting no drama , i'm just fighting for my relationship. Despite what you may think or what he may have told you I really love Derrick " She said.

" Look if you going to sit and be quiet then you can stay to see what the doctors say " He told her . He knew already knew how Kentrice was if he told her she couldn't stay she would cause a scene in the hospital and go on and on about how she was with Derrick for years and he didn't have time for that.

" Ok I won't tell her anything I promise " Kentrice agreed .

" And you better not even look in Kia's direction " He warned kierra.

" Thats not really a threat ... i like it when you choke me " She smiled innocently.

" Kierra , im really not in the mood to be playing games with your ass tonight . Fuck is you even here for ? Derrick don't fuck with you " He said .

" I'm here to comfort my friend " she said .

" well go sit in the corner over there and comfort her and don't say shit " he said .

" wait , where is my daughter ? " she asked .

" now you care about her cause you ain't called to see how she was doing since I had her " He said .

" So you saying I can't trust you with your own child ? That I have to call every single day to check up on her ? " she countered back causing him to smack his teeth .

" Go sit by kentrice and keep your fucking mouth closed " He said before walking off and sitting back next to Dekia and Nadia.

" Why didn't you make them leave ? " Dekia asked .
