“Do you fucking know who I am?” I snap at her, pissed the hell off now.
“Ye-yes, sir. But please, if you want us to do everything we can to save her life, we need you out of the way. There’s a waiting room that’s closer to where she’ll go after the doctors are done with her if you want to wait there?” she questions and I shake my head. I can’t freak out right now, I have to stay strong for her. She leads me to the waiting room and I’m thankful that I’m the only one here right now.
A few minutes pass before I realize that I’m just sitting there in clothes covered in blood. I decide to call Ash to bring me some clean clothes.
“What’s up, bro? Did you find her?” he questions as soon as he answers.
“Yeah, I—” I say and then cut off when my voice waivers. “I need you to bring some clothes for me to the hospital. She was in an accident and I’m covered in blood right now.”
“On it, man. I’ll be there in a few,” he says.
“Just ask the nurse at the emergency room desk for me when you get here,” I tell him and thank him before hanging up.
I sit there and wait for any news on my baby but nothing so far. Asher eventually gets here and I make my way over to the bathroom to change. I clean up as best I can before changing into the new clothes and then walk back out to sit next to Asher.
“What the hell happened, man?” he asks when I’m sitting again.
“I don’t know what the fuck happened. I found her at the club in Fairview but she was alone. I didn’t see her with her friends. She looked upset. Then I saw her sniffing coke. She ran away when she saw me and then drove out of there like a race car driver. I don’t know what the fuck she was doing in the car but she wasn’t paying attention. The next thing I know, she’s fucking flipping over. I think I saw Ivy at that club but I can’t be sure. I swear to fuck if she said some dumbass shit to my girl, I’m going to kill that viper!” I snap, letting the fear and now anger tinge my words.
“Don’t worry, man, we’ll get to the bottom of this,” he says, reassuring me.
“Did you tell Ax and Ez what was going on?” I question.
“No. Do you want me to?” he asks.
“No. Ez needs the rest and I want Ax to stay with him. I’ll tell them later,” I say.
“You know they’re going to pitch a bitch fit right?”
“Yes, but I’ll deal with them. Ez is too sick to be sitting here in a waiting room with us,” I say.
“Yeah,” he agrees.
We grow silent after that while we continue to wait to hear a word about her. I’ve never been so scared of anything as I am right now. I’m scared that this might be it for us but then again, I refuse to believe that. She can’t leave me yet and it’s not going to end like this for us. That’s the only thought I have, the only thing keeping me from losing my shit at this very moment.
I have to believe that she’s meant for me and we have a long life ahead of us. Despite the fact that she’s my half-sister, I love her beyond words at this point. I hope she never finds out that we’re related or she really will hate me for the rest of her life.
Twenty-Five
KNOX
It feelslike it’s been hours since Asher and I have been sitting here, waiting to hear a word from the doctors, but there’s been nothing but radio silence.
The reality is, it’s only about thirty minutes since we’ve been here, but it already feels like a lifetime. I’m about two seconds away from flipping my shit. The waiting and not knowing is killing me.
I just need to know something, anything, to put my mind at ease and let me know that she’s okay. That’s all I fucking want right now. I guess Ash must sense my growing agitation because he finally breaks the silence between us.
“She’s going to be fine, man,” he says.
“What if she isn’t? Fuck! I feel so fucking helpless right now. I’m about to lose my shit if I don’t get any news on how the fuck she’s doing,” I grumble.
“She’ll make it through this. Don’t worry,” he tells me with nothing but conviction in his words.
“She was fucking doing drugs in that club when I found her, man, like hard fucking drugs. Coke to be exact and then she got behind the fucking wheel of that car like she didn’t give a fuck about her life. I don’t know what’s going on with her but I know that something is. Why else would she be acting out? I’ve been doing everything I can to help her heal. I have a feeling that whatever it is, it’s about something other than me,” I say with a sigh. The fuckery of all this mess weighs on me heavily.
“What do you mean?” he questions.
“I don’t know. I didn’t exactly catch on to it at first but I’m pretty sure something went down somewhere along the line and it’s been messing with her. I can’t really put my finger on it, but she’s been different since after the game when I found her in New York,” I tell him.
