Olivia
"Mamas? Hey, you awake?" I softly knocked on the hospital door, hearing a soft 'come in' before stepping into the brightly lit room. "How many times do I got to tell this people not to turn these all the way up. You're gonna end up blind before you even get discharged.
Tahny laughed softly, soon hissing after. "Don't worry, you got two more months and you'll be out this shit hole."
"Two months.. I-is too long." She leaned her head back, eyes closing from the light. I sigh and lean above her head, switching the dial until the bulbs were no longer as blinding. "I agree, but you need to recover. They said bout time you make it home your throat wont be so raw and your bones will be more stable to be able to not be supervised. Before you know it, you'll be out of here and back on your bed watching Netflix and smoking a blunt wit me boo."

Tahny 5 Months Later
Just like Oliva said, time flew. It felt like mere days with me in that hospital. My ribs had fully recovered but they still slightly hurt if I bumped into anything. My throat is perfect and healed up but my lady part is recovering still. All the abuse caused damage inside and the doctors said they're not sure I'll be able to ever have kids. It's disappointing, knowing that you can't start a family of your own but there's a chance, so I'm praying. I've been going to church more often, of course dragging Olivia with me cause I damn sure wasn't going by myself. We started about a month ago and it's become normal for us. We went dress shopping since we didn't want to look like hood rats in front of all them old folks. We were welcomed and Olivia is already talking about becoming a official member. I started working at the shop again, working harder to pay back Olivia's step dad even if he said I don't have to. Jalen is still no where to be found and it hurts to know he left when I was down on my ass and hurting because of his bullshit ass life. But it's alright cause now I'm back on my grind and me my girls bought to take a much needed trip to the Dominican Republic!
Everybody sat around my Livingroom, laughing and yelling at the tv as Steve Harley's Family Feud show played. "Uhhh-" I snap my fingers and leaned up in my chair, slighting tapping my foot on the floor. "Sex toys!" Yasmine called out before I could get my answer out. I bust out laughing and shooed her off with my hand. "You are so nasty, the answer is men. Know we don't like sharing them!" The first lady hit the button and leaned down to get against the microphone. "Steve I'm gonna go with men." I clapped as the familiar ding came from the board and the number one answer popped up.
Macy looked up from doing Olivia's hair and wiped her nose gently. "What was the question?" I leaned back against the couch, holding out my hand to take the blunt from Yasmine. "Name something that most women in the world hate sharing. Yaz dumbass said sex toys, wish the fuck I would let some dirty coochie bitch use my stuff." I scrunch up my face and take a long puff. "You never know though, some of these girls out here being nasty." Olivia said while putting her head down so Macy could do her low ponytail better.
This is how we usually get ready for a vacation or time out. All of us hook up everybody else with our talents. For example, since Macy does hair, she do everybody else hair who need to be done, get it? I just finished doing Yasmine nails and now she letting them dry while we chill and wait for our hair to get done. "I'm next! I'm tired of sitting here looking all type of ratchet." Yaz smack her lips and I stick my tongue out at her.
By the end of the day, Everybody nails and hair is perfect and looking amazing. Even Olivia was being nice and hooked us up with some cute toe nail paintings and acrylics. "You all wanna stay here tonight or go home? I got a guest room and the couch fold out into a bed."
