Angel Collins
I lugged my tired sore body to my car to put my gear in the trunk. The thing about it is I know in the pros, practice is going to be so much more than this. But I'm ready. Nothing's stopping me, right? I get in the car and start driving towards my house when my phone starts ringing
"Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone
Bxtch don't kill my vibe
Bxtch don't kill my vibe
I can feel your energy from two planets away
I got my drink I got my music I will share it but today I'm yelling
Bxtch don't kill my vibe
Bxtch don't kill my vibe
Bxtch don't kill my vibe
Bxtch don't kill my vibe"
Kendrick Lamar rapped to Tori as if she could hear him. I chuckled because this was like my theme song for her. Then i wondered why she would be calling me. I reached in my pocket and picked up my phone. "Hello?" i say through the phone. "Angel! Kamil is in the hospital and Quan's not picking up.
Kamil fell out the crib!" She's talking so fast and I'm so damn tired. But when she says Kamils name the second time i wake up a little. This little boy fell from where ?! How in the hell did he fall from his crib. "How did he fall from the crib Tori? That shxt don't even sound right" i state to her and she starts crying more.
"How in the helll Tori?" I question really wanting an answer. "I forgot to put the side up and he rolled." she says threw more tears. I suck my teeth I have fucking class tomorrow I'm tired and now the baby is in the hospital because she forgot to put the damn rail up. "What in the fuck" i say as i turn the car around and head towards the hospital.
"I'll be there in a few" i tell her rubbing my temples and driving with my leg. "OK Angel. Thank you" she says before i hang up and grip the steering wheel. This aint even my child but here i am...again! As I make my way towards the hospital, I remember something serious. "He has Hemophilia" i whisper to myself as I turn right on the hospital street. I'm looking for a parking space but it looks as if everybody's baby fell out the crib on this specific night. "Wtf!" i yell in annoyence.
"Everybody has to be here tonight magically?" I say to myself. I see a car backing up and i immediantly take the spot, turn my car off and get out quickly walking inside. "ANGEL !" i hear Tori's voice as she runs over to my side and hugs me. I push her off me. "He has fxckin hemophilia Tori !" i say in a sharp but loud tone. "Don't you think i fxckin know that!" she screams back.
"APPARENTLY NOT IF WE ARE HERE ON A SUNDAY! WAITING FOR OU- " I stopped to catch myself. "YOUR SON TO BE RELEASED. FOR THE DOCTORS TO TELL US THAT HE IS OK!" I'm hollering and at this moment i dont care who's listening. "Sir and ma'am can you please take that outside? this is a quiet work space. " a nurse says approaching us. I just glare at her.
"Sorry ma'am" is what Tori says. She takes my hand and leads me outside. "Angel, I made a mistake." she starts and im leaning against a pole. "I made a lot of mistakes" she says correcting herself. "like being with Quan when I already had someone as wonderful as you. I don't know why I did it... I guess it was because we were drinking and .. one thing led to an-" I chuckle loudly causing her to stop talking
"because drinking makes everything better between me and you. Because you drunk and fucked my friend what was supposed to be my son is now my friends." i say looking at the ground. "And I'm truely fxcking sorry Qu-" she stops herself. She was NOT about to just call me Quan's name. "DO I LOOK LIKE QUAN!? WHY WERE YOU SO DRUNK THAT YOU COULD SLEEP WITH MY BESTFRIEND?! WHO IN THE FXCK IS STANDING HERE NOW TORI?!" i yelled at her.
And she started to cry. I hated to see her cry. I grabbed her and held her close. "I'm sorry Angel" She says. "everytime i look at my little boy. I wish he could call you dad. I wish. But because of me he wont ever be able to" She's crying on my shirt. "shhh" i say to her and we just stand there in silence.
About 10 minutes passed before i made us go back into the hospital. "Mrs. Simpson" the female doctor comes over to us as we walk in. "yes?" she says nervously. "Your son was ok due to the blood you gave" the doc informs us. "he was very lucky this time and please dont let me see you here again." she says to us.
"you wont." Tori says. "is this the father?" the doctor asks looking at me smiling. "N-" "yes" i interrupt Tori. "well it's nice to meet you Mr.Simpson" she says Tori's last name thinking its mine. "Collins" i correct her. "Oh im sorry Mr.Collins" she says to me with an apologetic look. "It's fine" i tell her. "well you can follow me to see your baby boy. He will not be going home with you tonight we want to keep in eye on him. " she updates us.
Tori looks at me as we walk to the back with her. "since when are you the father?" she whispers us lagging in the back a little so the doctor wont hear us. "Since i was there for your pregnancy. There when the baby was born and Here now." i tell her. She smiles wide. "So we're together again?" she asks getting happy. "I didn't say that." i tell her seeing she got a little disappointed. "Im here for the baby." i say as we walk into Kamil's room.
When i see him i want to cry. He's hooked up to what looks like every machine possible. This is when i know I'm going to be present at everything he does even down to the last play he's in. I walk over to him and i put my finger in his hand as he squeezes it a tear drops from my face. This was my little boy. No matter what DNA said.
