Kazia's Heart

Rell paced the floor with his phone to his ear praying the man on the other end would answer. "Pick up, pick up, pick up," he repeatedly muttered to himself. The phone finally stopped ringing and the automated voice began speaking. "You have been forwarded to the automatic voice message system. 704-***-**** can not take your call now." Rell hung up the phone before the default voicemail could finish.

"He not answering man. He's a probably in a meeting. We'll just tell him when he get back here." He slipped the phone in his pocket and sat in the chair of the hospital waiting room.

Jacoby spoke up, "Nah we need to keep calling. That nigga would have a fit if he came home expecting his woman to be waiting on him only to find out that she laid up in a hospital bed battered and bruised." And he was right, Eli would go on a rampage if he found out that nobody at least gave him a heads up of was happening on the home front.

It was quiet for moment as everyone replayed what had just happened and how to relay that information to Eli without him going off and catching the next flight back to Charlotte.

Caleb spoke up for the first time since being in the hospital. He sighed before speaking "Look how bout we all keep trying to call him. If he sees that all of us calling, he bound to answer one of our calls or call back. I tell Sash to call too cause I'm almost certain if he sees Kesi's bestfriend calling and no missed calls from Kesi he'll know something is wrong."

The group agreed with Caleb and they all began their attempts to get in contact with the one person who needed to be here.
