"God always has a plan..."

Mercy Hospital |3:56am|

Tyra

I was so numb. So numb. Seeing Kell like that brought back so many memories, that I wasn't ready to face yet. This shows how much I love that boy. I don't know what I would do if he left me.

"Where is he? Where's my son!"

I sat up in the chair I was sitting in to see Ms. Carol rushing up to me.

"What happened Tyra." she sat next to me in the waiting room waiting for a response.

"I-I don't know, he just came in l-limping...and I went to get the kit... a-and..." I couldn't even finish the sentence. I was crying and hiccuping so much thinking of the worst.

"Shhh it's okay baby, he's okay I know it." she pulled me in her arms rocking us back and forth. I felt like a little kid that just fell off the swings and ran to their mother crying.

"I had a feeling something like this was bound to happen one day." she shook her head still rocking us. "Markell always wanted to make a statement."

"What do you mean?"

"When he was younger he used to got teased, about being in foster care. I tried so hard with that boy, telling him to just be him and he didn't need to prove nothing to nobody. People judge my kids everyday, thinking we're poor and in need. Markell wanted to change that. He wanted to prove that being an orphan couldn't hold him back from having the newest shoes or the girls, I know he's out there doing something Tyra. That money just don't make itself and I know that money that he has is what landed him in the hospital right now."

I sat letting her words sink in. I understand Markell wanting to prove that, but I know for damn sure it's not worth risking his life.

Hours went by and it was now me, Heaven, Trevor, and Cortez. They all came as soon as they heard.

"Family of Markell Jones?" we all stood up.

"Hi, I'm doctor Ward."

"Hi doctor can tell us what happened, anything? We've been here for hours." said Ms.C

"I understand ma'am, I do and I'm sorry for the wait. It's seems that he passed out of dehydration and lack of nutrition on top of being brutally beaten." He paused "Now I don't want to point any fingers, but if you know who did this I would advise that you come forward and press charges for battery."

"Excuse me?"

"Markell has two broken ribs, a sprained wrist and a concussion on the left side of his brain, also we found bruises along his entire body."

We all stood there stunned. I felt guilty knowing what happened. I didn't know if I should tell Ms.Carol or not. This was all to much for me to handle. I should have stopped him as soon as he told me it was dangerous. This was all my fault.

"Now, he did request some visitors. Is there a Tyra here?"

"Yeah that's me." I stepped forward

"Follow me."

We walked through some hallways finally reaching his room. I had to brace myself opening the door. As soon as it did I broke down some more. Seeing him bruised like that did something to me.

"Aye come here baby, I'm alright." he said in a low whisper.

I walked over to him letting his arms embrace me. "Markell what happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it right now, I just want to know that you're okay."

I chuckled "Your asking me that, when you're the one on the hospital bed."

He smiled "Yeah I am, I know you couldn't live without ah nigga."

"Boy please-"

"Don't front baby."

I was silent, it was true. I really couldn't live without that boy.

"See."

"Shut up, how you feeling?"

"Okay, I just need some rest."

"Baby why haven't you been eating, the doctor said you passed out of dehydration and lack of nutrition."

"I just been so focused on these games that I didn't take the time to focus on myself."

"Kell that's not gonna work, you know that. Why are you risking your life for these stupid ass games-"

"It's not stupid alright!"

"Don't yell at me."

"Well don't talk about shit you don't know about."

"Excuse me? I know that this dumb ass shit got you in the hospital."

He sucked his teeth "Tyra I'm warning you. Stop talking about it, just drop it."

"No! We need to talk about this now Markell. You don't understand how it's affecting you, affecting us."

"How the hell is it affecting us?"

"What do we always argue about?"

"That's you arguing, I'm just trying to get you to shut the fuck up and drop it, stop trying to be my mom and be my girl."

"I am but what kind of girlfriend would I be if I don't try and stop you from making these dumb ass decisions that you always make?" I was fed up. "Since I got here I've been lieing to everyone and keeping secrets for you, saving your ass!"

"So what I do is dumb?, it's called being loyal." he shouted

I was quite.

He let out a breath and shook his head. "You know out of everybody I thought you'd be in my corner, but I should have known not to fuck with a chick with baggage."

"Markell you don't mean that."

"Since everything I do is so stupid and every move I make is dumb, then how about you go find a smart nigga, and be loyal to him."

"Kell-

"Get out."

"What?"

"I said get out." he shouted as I flinched. The look in his eyes was so cold. I quickly grabbed my purse, rushing out the door.

I jogged out the hospital ignoring the calls of my name from Heav. I couldn't stop. I just ran and ran with nothing and no where to go. Im just such a fuck up. I lost my mother, my father, my lover, and I'm sure Heaven is just my friend out of pity.

I pulled out my phone calling a cab, he pulled up in about twenty minutes.

"Where to ma'am?" He said as I shut the door putting on my seat belt.

"Spellman Graveyard."

"In Brooklyn?"

"Yes." I turned and looked out the window as tears streamed down my face.

"So you plan on staying in Brooks or just visiting?"

It took me a minute to answer. I thought about everything that's happened and I know I wouldn't be missed.

"Yeah I don't think I'm coming back..."

Team IFY!

I'm back. 😘

Another update by yours truly. 👏 I know it was kind of short, but I have so much more ☕️ to make up for it.

Think Ty is over reacting?

Was Markell wrong?
