I'll Never Trust A Thug

Getting Better

Lori p.o.v

I felt myself being lifted and placed on something soft. I would wince at the needles I'm being stuck with but I feel so drained . Im surprised I have enough energy to think. I heard voices and footsteps but because the smell was different I knew I wasn't in the warehouse anymore.  I felt hands undressing me then putting a thin gown on me followed by warm blankets. It felt absolutely wonderful. I could feel myself drifting to sleep. This about to be a well needed rest.

"Baby wake up."

"Hmm why ?"

"We got a hour till its time to go to your appointment and I want to take yall out to eat." Darell smiled.

"Okay , help us up." I chuckled.

I took a 10 minute shower and put on my orange Victoria Secret lace set and put on my "Secret Crush" lotion.  I pulled out my black tights and a high low pastel pink button down shirt along with my black and gold Michel Kors sandals.

I left my hair curly and put on some lipstick and eye makeup. I walked to the window and look out to see a gorgeous veiw of the city .

"Baby you look so beautiful, I swear I can't get enough of being around you."  Darell said from the door.

I looked over my shoulder amd smiled. I love how even with my big belly he still finds me attractive. I really do think Darell and I could get married one day.

"Baby why you tearing up?" Darell said bringing me into his arms.

"I was just thinking about how good of a guy you are and that I'm glad to have you in my life." I said while sniffling.

He hugged me a little tighter and kissed my forehead.

"Babygirl I love yall and I dont ever want yall to doubt or forget that. Yall are my everything" He placed his hand on my belly.

"Ms. Jackson?...Ms.Jackson?" A calm voice said. "Ms.Jackson can you open your eyes for me?"

I slowly opened my eyes to a dim lit room with the blinds open. When my vision cleared even more I realized it was Dr.Kline.

"Hey hun. Seems like you've been through hell and back. Can you speak for me too?" She asked.

I shook my head a no little. "Well blink once for yes , twice for no, don't blink if you dont understand something. Okay?"

I nodded my head.

"Are you hungry?" *blink blink*

"Are you dehydrated? " *blink*

Dr.Kline picked up the nurse pager "I need water and an apple juice sent to Ms.Jackson in room 704 immediately. "

I smiled because she remembered I like Apple juice better than orange juice.  " Do you remember what happened to you ?" She said with sadness laced in her voice.*blink*

"Do you feel any pain ?" *blink blink*

*knock knock*  "I got her water and juice." said the young nurse.

"Thank you Cheryl , put it over there." 

Once the nurse left, Dr.Kline looked at me with sad eyes.

"Are you still with that young man few months ago?" *blink*

"Well I'm his aunt on his mom's side but his dad won't allow me in his life. He made my sister and the rest of the family think I disappeared when actually he tried to kill me. He thinks I'm dead and I've let him believe that so my life won't be in danger. "

I just looked at her wide eyed. I canp't believe all  that happened.

I tried to say something but remember my mouth was dry . I looked at Dr.Kline then the water and did that repeatedly until she got the jist of what I was tryna say.

"Oh sorry , how does that feel?" Dr.Kline said.

"I-I-I feel much better. My voice doesn't feel natural though." I said lowly.

"Dr.Kline do you know where Darell is?" I asked.

"No sweetie , I haven't. "

"Alright, well can you make sure if he comes the staff send him straight here?"

"Will do." She smiled then left.

I decided to go back to sleep. At least there I can see Darell.

Darell p.o.v

"Daddy wake up! God says you can't go yet. Us and Mommy still need you." The same two little kids said from my last dream.

"Little one's I don't think Daddy can make it."

"You love all of us right? Use love to help you get up" the little girl said.

"Yea we gone help you! C'mon, sissy , we gotta heal Daddy." The little boy said.

I felt myself being pulled down and then I gasp and started coughing. I opened my eyes to see I was outside. I started to sit up and was hit with a truck load of pain . I continued to sit up and I realized my ankle was broken.

I managed to get up and limp to my car. When I looked in the mirror I cringed. A young king look like a peasant. I started the car and drove to the hospital. Once I got there and limped my way inside I went to the front desk. After I signed the paper I seen Dr.Kline. 

"Dr.Kline!"

"Dear lord, Darell what happened to you?" She said worried.

"I'll tell as I get cleaned up, you mind helping my ankle it's broken and hurts like hell"

She left for a couple a minutes and came back with a wheelchair. Thank god because my leg was getting tired.  We went through the doors and got on the elevator. I pulled out my phone and texted Bryant.

D-fam - Aye bruh where you at?

Bry-money - who tf is this and why you got Darell phone!?

D-fam - Nigga its Darell

The elevator doors open for someone to get on and I see its Bryant. I stared at his dumbass standing there angry texting.

Bry-money - whoever tf this is , that shit aint funny. My nigga dead.

I busted out laughing. "Nigga do I look dead to you" I said as I looked at him.

"Darell!? You really alive?" He said wide eyed.

"Yes or a wouldn't have been able to text you. Now where's my babies?"

"Lori is up a few more floors." Dr.Kline said.

"What about Kim?" Bryant asked.

"She's three rooms away from Lori. " Dr.Kline answered.

"Wait Kim in here too?" I said looking at Bryant.

"Yea she got shot. I said it through our bugs when it happened. "

" I lost my bug during the bullet fest."

"So you aint hear when Trey told everyone to get out the building? "

"Nah I just saw a couple of our guys running. Then I just stepped out the door when the place exploded. When I woke up I was outside looking like I got beat the hell up." I explained.

"Alright sit up here so I can stabilize your ankle." Dr.Kline said.

I did as she said and waited till she was done. Then she hugged me out of nowhere.

"Uh Dr.Kline shouldn't I be the one hugging you?" I chuckled.

"Please call me Natalie. I'm your aunt.Your mom is my sister. " She said as she was tearing up.

"Wait...what?!" I said looking confused.

"I'll explain later, you need to go see Lori. Shes in room 704"

After Dr.Kline left, I looked at Bryant who looked just as confused as I was. This alot to deal with in a day but at least everybody safe.
