Adjusting my dark shades, I slipped a pill into my mouth as I walked through the white hospital hallways. Entering room 371, I was met with a pair of eyes I hadn't seen in years.
"What are you doing here," I asked my brother, who held Ashanti's hand. "Thats how you greet me," Reese asked through clenched teeth.
"And I could ask you the same," Reese spat. "Why are you here," He asked stressing "you". "You haven't been to visit her since she got here," He scoffed, which was true I had felt so guilty about Scooby I couldn't dare to face Ashanti.
"I guess your a sh*t friend and sh*t sister," Reese spat.
"Don't do that," I pointed. "Do what," He yelled. "Remind you of your f*ck ups," He yelled. "And remind you how you're still f*cking up," He scoffed.
"Some kinda sister," He mumbled. "Don't do that," I felt tears wetting my cheeks. "I was a good sister," I cried. "Until you left me," Reese spat. "For a n*gga," Reese screamed. "Where he at now," He asked.
"Oh, thats right, I put him in the dirt," He exclaimed. I balled my fist up, and threw it into his jaw with all my might. "Thats how you feel, sis," He asked holding his jaw. "Its always been them over me, huh," He asked. "
They killed my child, your niece or nephew," He spat. "But you don't see that," He asked. "Stop," I tried to wipe my tears but they wouldn't stop falling.
"You left your brother alone with nobody else in the world to turn to," He scoffed. "I didn't mean-," I cried. I felt sick to my stomach. I couldn't take this anymore.I reached over into my purse, grabbing the pills.
"What-," Reese exclaimed snatching them from me. "They got you hooked on this now," He asked. "Nobody got me hooked," I put "hooked" in air quotes. "I just take them occasionally," I tried to explain. "I'm not an addict or anything," I added.
Reese scoffed at me, and held my pills up. "Are you serious," I asked as I tried reaching for them. "You a f*ck up but I'm not going let you ruin your life," He sighed rushing over to the sink.
"Reese," I screamed chasing him. I watched in turmoil as he poured all my pills down the sink. "Are you serious," I cried.
"Why did you do that," I asked throwing my fists into his chest. "Because I'm your brother," He mumbled. "brother," I repeated as I felt something rush down my leg. "What- Blood," Reese screamed out. I heard a loud gasp. "'Shanti," He yelled. "Wait, We need a doctor in here," I heard him say as collapsed into his arms.
