A week later
Lanae

All I could see was darkness. My body is cold and sore. My head is throbbing and the last thing I remember is not being able to stop at the light and rolling into oncoming traffic. I was on the way to the store because I was getting last minutes things for the dinner with Chrissy. I tried moving but I couldn't , it was like something was holding me down. I was weak and honestly wanted to give up.

"Hey babygirl". I heard a familiar voice.

"Told you I'll be back . I went to go check on our princess. She waiting on you mamas"

Oh my god, my baby. I couldn't feel nothing but my head so I wasn't even aware that she wasn't even inside of me. She's only six months and I had her? Is she okay ? She is healthy ? I wanna see my baby. I gotta see my baby. I tried to open my eyes and move my body but I couldn't. I really just couldn't. Am I paralyzed? What's wrong with me ?

"How is she ?" I heard a knocked are the door and heard Chrissy's voice.

"The same". Jordan sighed.

"I don't know what to do Chrissy. Nothing is changing, her stats are all the same. Her brain bleed has cleared, doctors said she's healing from surgery fine. She's healthy but she just hasn't woke up. Also Zamani can come home in a few days. I don't wanna leave this hospital with Zamani and not have Nae right beside me. I can't do this alone"

Zamani. Her named her Zamani. I started to picture what my daughter looked like in my head. I pictured her with a head full of head and chubby cheeks just like her dad. Big pretty brown eyes and just full of joy. She's going home soon so I need to be with her. 'You can do this Lanae , fight this .. you got to get up outta this bed.' I began to talk to myself. I wanted to see my daughter, I wanted to see my boyfriend. I need to get up.

"I understand but Jordan they said we just had to wait and see. As much as we both hate seeing her like this we have to be patient ... knowing Nae she probably just getting herself together before she gotta come back to you" . Chrissy chuckled trying to lighten to the mood. Jordan chuckled as well. It was nice hearing him laugh.

"Jordan you're not alone okay, I'll be there with you and Mani until Nae can come home. You know that"

"I appreciate it Chrissy."

"I know if this was me , Nae would do the same"

Tia

I've been in the same room for a week with Ryan. Surprisingly, he was still holding on but his time is coming soon. Everyday, somebody would come in a torture him. Whether it's burning him with blunts, blacks , and cigarettes or deepen his wounds and adding lemon juice it was something. Me on the other hand, they didn't bother me. I guess I was waiting on Nae to give me my punishment. I assume she still on the hospital being that I'm still here.

"T-t-Tia?" Ryan gasped.

"Just go ahead and go Ryan ... we're going to die anyway"

" I'm s-s-s-sorry". His chested heaved up and down. His head was slumped down in front him while his hand was tied behind his back.

"Stop"

"I l-l-l-l-oved you, p-p-please rem-member that". Tears started to fill my eyes because I knew he was taking his last breathe. He continued to struggle to breathe.

"I loved you too Ryan, it's okay let go baby". I whispered while I sobbed. His chest risen and fell for the last time and head hung low. He was gone. Ryan was dead and I knew eventually I would be next. I looked away and sobbed hard.

After being in the room with Ryan lifeless body for about two hours, somebody finally came into the room.

"Oh shit, he finally dead", the unfamiliar man said once he saw his body. He turned his body to me and walked over in my direction. I turned my head away from him but he grabbed my face making me look at him. He lowered his face into mine while caressing my cheek, then he gave me a smile smirk. Could he feel bad for me and maybe considered letting me go? As I began to soften my face, he spat directly in between my eyes and shoved my face away. He let out a evil laugh and left the room. I began to cry more.
