So Gone

wait and see

Two weeks had passed while Ice waited by Creams bedside like a devoted wife. Then he opened his eyes. Ice was holding his hand when he began to move around and his eyes fluttered open. At first he looked confused and soon focused on ice and he relaxed. Ice ran out of the room to get the nurse on duty. The doctors and Specialists all came in to examine him and then they removed his breathing tubes. "Ma'am, he probably won't talk for a few days but his voice will return. We're going to start his therapy tomorrow to begin his recovery process until then offer him sips of water and be patient." When the doctors and nurses left the room she laid on Creams chest and cried like a baby. He was very drowsy and he only stroked her hair then he fell back asleep. Ice was consumed with guilt and relief at the same time. She tried to kill her own husband. Cream was the love of her life and he was also her pain in her life. She suffered from frequent bouts of depression and anxiety and had been using powdered cocaine daily. The coke made her feel in control and numb the pain temporarily in her life. Of course when she came down, it all came crashing back down. It was a vicious cycle. If Cream knew she was using again he would kick her ass. He had put her through rehab and a relapse would not be tolerated.
While Cream slept she called his homie June and told him to come to the hospital in the morning. She knew that all hell was gonna hit the streets and that Cream's crew would not rest until street justice was served. Ice was in a fucked up position and she didn't know how she was going survive if/when the truth ever came out.

The next day cream started to speak. "Hey Ice Baby what the hell happened to me I can't remember a thing?" Ice started at him for several seconds before answering "Um, there was an explosion in your car and you got hurt, the cops are investigating." She was sweating like a ho in church and her hands were shaking. Cream was quiet, trying to process what she had said. Then a darkness came over his face when he stated "someone tried to fucking kill my ass! Get my nigga June on the phone and tell him get up here to see me asap. We gotta find out who fucked with my car." Ice was hesitant to tell him the next part but knew he needed to hear it from her. "Baby and they killed your baby momma, I'm sorry. They slit her throat." This information hit Cream hard. Harder than she expected as she watched tears form in his eyes. "Where the hell is my son? They didn't hurt him oh my God please don't tell me that Ice?" Ice grabbed his hands to calm him and said " he ok baby children services have him till they can make sure you ok. None of her family members have stepped up yet."
Cream sighed with relief, he then turned to his side and fell back to sleep.
