Chapter 34

MyMainBitch- Daejah where are you and Aug, y'all been on for bout 30 minutes now?

MyMainBitch- Are y'all okay?

MyMainBitch- Daejah please anwser the phone, I'm worried.

I sighed as I put my phone back into my purse. I heard Davontae phone ring for the 100th time tonight since he went to the bathroom. I grabbed it out of my purse then answered it.

" Hello?" I looked around the gym

" Ariana?" I heard momma sniff.

" Momma whats wrong? Why are you crying? "

" Daejah and August are at the hospital, y'all need to come here now."

I felt tears form in my eyes. " Why are they in the hospital? Ma' are they okay?" I grabbed all our stuff.

She didn't anwser right away. " Ariana." She sighed. " Just come to the hospital... I'll see you guys soon." She hung up.

I put Davontae phone back in my purse. I rushed out of my gym, searching for Davontae.

" Where is he?" I mumbled, impatiently. I began to walk towards the bathroom but bumped into someone in the process.

" Baby why you rushing? " I looked up at me. " Whats wrong bae? Who I need to beat up?"

" We gotta go to the hospital. " I shook my head, trying to fight back my tears but I couldn't .

" Ariana-"

" Daejah and August are in the hospital. "

" How and why?"

I shrugged. " I don't know Davontae, that's why we have to go. Momma wouldn't tell me anything on the phone and I know she's been crying."

He sighed. " You got all our stuff."

I nodded. " Yes."

" 'Ight baby, come on." I nodded, praying that Daejah and August are okay.

~~~~~~

" They just took her in for surgery, Davontae calm down." Momma said.

" Is she gon' be okay?"

Momma didn't awnser right away. " Lets just hope and pray... its all in God's hands."

He nodded. " Why aren't you up there?" Davontae said referring to Daejah and her surgery.

" Cause I'm not a surgeon Davontae.... I'm a doctor."

He huffed and didn't say anything as he stared off in space. " Daejah is in best hands, they know what there doing."

" I hope so." He mumbled.

We sat down in the chairs, that was in the waiting room. " I'll come back soon.... I have to go."

We both nodded, tiredly. Who knew on prom night we'll be sitting in the hospital.

Tonight was suppose to be our night. Not a night where, we should be worrying and crying. I always dreamed of our prom night.... every one was suppose to be happy and looking pretty or handsome with big smiles on our face. But here we are, looking pretty ruff with a big frown on our faces.

" She's gon' pull through this.... I know Daejah." I said softly, holding on to Davontae hand.

He squeezed it. " How you know baby?"

" 'Cause I know, she's strong..... She is an survivor."

" I hope so." He sniffed, wiping his eyes. " Man that's my muhfuckin sister up there... I can't lose her Ariana, I can't. I came into this world with her and she better not leave without me."

" I know baby, I know. Let's just think off positive thoughts okay?"

He nodded, slightly." Yeah.... I love you 'Ight. "

" I love you too." I pecked his lips softly. " She's gonna get through this." I mumbled.

He wrapped his arms around me, which caused my body to relax at his touch. I was trying my best to stay awake, but I couldn't and me crying wasn't helping either.

" Go to sleep baby... I'll wake you up, If we get something."

" You su-"

" Yeah I'm baby."

" Okay." I yawned, letting sleep take over me.

♡▪♡▪♡▪♡

I woke after feeling Davontae getting up from under me. I shifted in my seat, not wanting to open my eyes. I pray to Lord, this was all a dream. I open my eyes, seeing me still in the hospital waiting room. I took out my phone, checking the time.

2:58

May 8

I sighed, looking up. It's been 7 fucking hours. What's taking them so long? I got up, stretching. I fixed my dress and walked over to momma and Davontae, they were talking to a doctor. His face was soften and was sincere. As I got closer to them, I could here him talking.

" ...... We tried everything we could. I'm sorry Doctor Robinson and Davontae. She didn't make it. " He sighed.

My heart dropped as I shook my head. " No." I repeated.

Momma dropped to her knees, crying. " No, not my baby.... no. There must-"

" Momma pl-" Davontae voice cracked. " Momma, she wouldn't want us crying."

" Davontae." I said softly.

He turned around, tears streaming down his face. " Please tell me it's not true."

He wrapped his arms around my waist. " Baby.... She didn't make it." He sniffed. " She died during surgery......Man I lost my Sister bruh."

" Baby I'm sorry." I cried in his chest. " I'm sorry."

" Ariana? Ariana?" I felt someone shake me. " Baby wake up, the doctor came."

I looked up." Huh?" I looked at Davontae weird.

" Baby, why you crying in your sleep?" He wiped my tears.

" She didn't make it. " I repeated.

" What are you talking 'bout baby?"

" Daejah...." I looked around, seeing momma walk up towards us. " I had a dream- Daejah- she " I stopped myself in mid sentence, notice It was all just a dream. " Never mind, let's see what the doctor says."

He nodded as he fixed my dress and help me stand up. " Thank you."

He dusted himself off. " No problem."

We all walked towards the doctor. To be honest, that dream felt so real, I thought it was true. I thought I lost her forever but I'm thankful, it was just a dream and didn't happen in real life... at least I don't think that's gon' happen.

" Please tell me you have good news ." Momma Said  to the surgeon.

He smiled softly. " Good and bad Danae."

" So Daejah got shot multiple times... four to be exact. Twice in the shoulder, once on the lower back and on her thigh. Thankfully, the bullets missed any major veins or arteries  and was removed without any problem."

" So she's gonna make it right?" I asked softly.

He sighed. " We're doing the best we can with daejah and making sure she survive. She still wasn't responsive after the surgery. She rested for about an hour before she suffered from 4 seizures. The first 2 was 10 minutes apart and the 3rd one was 15 after the 2nd one. But the fourth one was backed to back with the 3rd one. My team wants to call its Status Epileptic. .... but she's been doing well for the last hour. So we can't diagnose her yet."

We all was silent, so he continued on.

" Um.... Repeat seizures can prevent the brain from recovering in between the seizures. We have her in ICU and like, I said were doing everything we can to help Daejah."

Momma sighed, shaking her head.

" What's her chances. " Davontae said.

He didn't answer right away. " She can wake up today, tomorrow or next week, b-"

" What.Her.chances."

" Very slim." Momma and the surgeon said together.

" Since Daejah lost a lot of blood... before she came and during surgery. Would you mind if you donate some Davontae ?"

" Yeah do whatever you need to save my sister."

" Can we see her."

The doctor nodded. " Yes. "

We walked to daejah room, seeing her hooked up to all types machines and her limp body, made me hurt. Just by looking at daejah, made me break down. She's really in a bad condition.

I just hope, she can be strong and survive this. Lord knows, I don't want to lose her, nobody wants that.

I pulled up a chair, sat down and grabbed her hand. I said a prayer to myself.

" Do she still need the blood?" Davontae asked.

" Yes."

" Then get somebody to Take it, what we waiting for?"

" Okay davontae, someone would be up here any minute now." The doctor walked out of the room.

" Not now Daejah, not now. " Davontae said softly as he moved a piece of hair out of her face. " You can't leave us right now, you got so much to live for bunny. You gotta keep strong for all of us right now. We can't lose you. Doctor Rogers and his team is doing every thing they can, to keep you going. And I'm giving you some of my blood, hopefully that'll be enough..... I can't believe this shit happen." Davontae sighed as he wiped his tears. " I'm about to check on August. " he walked out of the room.

I sighed, looking back at the door, to make sure no one was coming then back at Daejah.

" Daejah you gotta keep strong for you and this baby that's growing inside you. For you and August, if you told him, I know he can't lose y'all both. You gotta keep strong. " I wiped my tears.

" 'Ight bruh, I'll talk to you later." I walked out of August rom. Even though August haven't woke up yet, I was telling him about daejah and how her condition is.

The nurse said that he could wake up soon. Which is good because, he could tell all of us what the hell happen when they left.

I heard Momma and Momma Shelia arguing outside of Daejah door. No doubt their talking about the shooting. I couldn't hear what they were saying 'cause they were talking low and not trying to make a scene.

" Ma' don't be arguing here. It ain't the right time or place."

" We'll talk 'bout dis lata'." Before momma even got to say anything, momma Shelia walked into August room.

" Nurse Jordan is in the room, setting up to get your blood."

I nodded. " 'Ight." I walked into the room.

" Davontae?"

I nodded. " Yeah, Daejah twin brother." I sat down on the chair.

" Nurse Jordan, I'll be taking your blood today, if that's fine with you? "

" Yeah it's fine, nice to meet you."

" You too, Y'all mother talk about y'all all the time."

Ariana walked into the room, stopping when she was nurse Jordan. " Hi, I'm Ariana. " She smiled, as she sat down next to Daejah.

" Nurse Jordan, nice to meet you."

" Mhm, You too."

I shook my head. " Is this gon' hurt?" I shifted in my seat.

" No." She cleaned the area, she was going to get my blood from.

I leaned back in my seat. " Ight, okay."

As nurse Jordan took my blood, Ariana would glance my way at time to tome, but back at her phone. Once she was done, she collected my blood then gave me cookies and juice.

" Make sure you drink and eat that."

" I'll."

She nodded. " Have a nice day."

" You too."

She walked out of the room. " Come here baby." I motioned Ariana to come over to me.

She sat down next to me. " August okay?"

"Yeah he's. He'll be waking up soon."

" Good."

I pulled her onto my lap. She leaned on me, taking a breath. I held her. " You okay babe?"

She shook her head. I turned towards her. Ariana eyes was filled with tears.

" Let it all go ." I rubbed her back, in circles.

Danae.P.O.V.

" Danae is Devon here yet? There something I would like to discuss about Daejah. It's very important, that you guys should know this."

I got concerned but nodded anyway. " Okay."

" Babe, is she okay?" Devon ran up to myside.

" Yeah she's fine. I'll tell you everything after we talk to Curtis. " I said calling Doctor Rogers by his first name.

" Okay." We walked into Daejah room, closing the door behind us.

" What's wrong, with Daejah?"

" I don't know how to say this but. .... Daejahs pregnant. "

Our eyes widen. " Pregnant?!"

He nodded. " Yes Pregnant, from you guys reaction. I take it as you guys didn't know?"

I sighed, sitting down in the chair. We bothed nodded. " We're gonna check on the baby, see if it's still alive and see how it's going."

" Okay." We both said.

Not long after a portable ultrasound machine came in. Everything got set up. I looked at the screen.

I can't believe daejah is pregnant. I should've known just by the way she was acting, and eating differently. My baby HATE eggs and she ate them a few days ago, made me start thinking but I really didn't think she was pregnant out of all things. I don't believe in abortion at all. She's gonna keep and raise this baby with August.

I snapped out of my thoughts her I heard the baby heartbeat. Suprisely it was fast and strong, which is a good sign. I smiled.

" Nothing over than a month.... healthy too."Curtis smiled.

" Good."

The door opened. Davontae was walking in but stopped dead in his steps when he looked up from his phone.

" Dav-"

" What the hell ?! "
