I don't know why I called him. I couldn't think of anyone else.

He came inside, and froze at the bathroom door when he realize he was naked. He turned around.

"Cover him up wid the towel nuh." he instructed me.

I covered his lower half with a towel. And he checked his pulse. He looked at me and sighed

"This fuck yah dead enuh, weh yuh duh?" he questioned.

I stuttered, "I'm going to jail. Mi caah guh jail" I held onto my head.

"A never that mi ask."

"Mi...mi just beat him wid the belt. Him have heart problems, it look like it give out."

He smirked "Weh yuh mean yuh beat him?"

"Mi find out seh him get married today suh mi beat him wid a belt." I couldn't think straight.

"Mi aguh call Stella," he said.

He made his call, then went into the room and his nosey ass saw the pregnancy test on the bed.

He picked it up.

"Yuh pregnant?" he asked and I didn't answer. "Who yuh pregnant fah?"

Guh worry bout if Solange baby a yours and don't worry bout mine.

"Mi have a dead man inna mi fucking bathroom and yaah ask bout pregnancy?"

"Him dead already, nothing we can duh bout dat. But this..." he held out the  pregnancy test.

"What about it?"

He shakes his head and throws it back on the bed.

"Know wah mek mi nuh concern mi self wid dis."

His sister came and do whatever nurses do.

"Mi tink yuh seh him dead Rom, he still has a pulse it's weak but he's still alive. We need to get him to a hospital ASAP or he'll really be dead."

Stella made some calls and an ambulance came and picked him up. She left with ambulance, and we're just here waiting to hear back some news.

Fix it Jesus..

"I need to take a shower, I don't want to talk about this again." I said to him and he nods and walks away.

I filled the tub, lit a candle and laid in it. Im staring at the floor where I almost killed a man.

I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths.

He's not dead.

He's not dead, you're not going to jail.

After a while in the tub, I felt a presence watching me.

I opened my eyes to see Romelou staring at me.

He startled me.

There are ofcourse several elephants in the room but the only one I'm worried about is if that man is alive.

"Why yuh in here? Mi naked!" I pulled the curtains.

"Nothing mi neva see before." he pulls back the curtain.

"Your boy neva mek it." he says.

I actually killed him. He begged and I still...I killed.

"What have I done?" I started to cry.

"I'm going home, if yuh need ntn mek me know."

"Romelou wait—" I paused.

He furrowed his brow. I didn't want to be here by myself, but I don't know how to voice that to him.
