The Promises He Made

^Chapter 39^

"Hello?" I answer the phone sitting up and holding the sheets over my exposed breast. I heard soft sobs on the other end of the line.

"Chanelle I am so sorry!" Tamia cried on the other end barley able to talk.

"Tamia what's wrong? What happened?" I ask beginning to go into slight panic.

"Something's wrong with Justice!" She cried making my world fall apart.

I was speechless for a minute. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. Deandre sat up beside me and rubbed my back while looking at me concerned.

"What do you mean something's wrong with her? Tamia what the fuvk happened?!!!" I yell as I wrap the sheets around me and began to get dressed. I grabbed a black jogging suit and threw it on as I listened.

"I don't know! The twins were playing in my room all day. And then I went to the bathroom for just two seconds and I came back she was screaming and crying. And her arm was cut up. So I had to rush her to the E.R." She explained through her sobs.

"Oh my god! I'm on my way, okay. Tell her mommys comin!!" I say beginning to put my shoes on. I cried softly as I tied my Jordan's onto my feet.

"What's wrong babe?" Deandre asks coming by my side with his boxers on. I broke out in tears as I thought about my poor baby. Deandre just stood me up and wrapped me tightly in his arms. Which was just what I needed.

"Bae, what happened?" Deandre asks after a few minutes of holding me. I sigh and wipe my face.

"Tamia had to take Justice to the Emergency Room." I say holding back my tears.

"What happened?" He asks worriedly.

"I don't know. Tamia said she went to the bathroom for two seconds and justice started screaming. And when she went to check on her, her arm was all cut up. Sh had to rush her to the E.R." I said. He wiped my face and kissed my lips.

"You want me to go witchu to the hospital?" He asks. I shake my head.

"No, you have your rehearsals for graduation tomorrow. That would be selfish to keep you up all night." I said. He just shushed me and embraced me again.

"Don't worry bout all that. They'll understand. I just don't want you driving by yourself. Especially witchu cryin like this." He says wiping my face again. These goddamn tears won't stop!

I nod before he kisses me again.

"Lemme go get dressed right quick. I'll be down in a minute." He says releasing me.

~At The Hospital~

I rushed through the e.r doors with my bag in hand and I immediately spotted Tamia. She stood up and ran toward me. She had tears streaming down her face just like me.

"How is she? Is she okay?" Was the first thing that came through my mouth.

"I don't know. Nobody's doing their fucking job around here! They haven't told me anything." She said in frustration.

"Fuvk!" I yelled through gritted teeth.

"Chanelle I'm so sorry. I mean I literally walked away for two seconds and a bunch of shvt popped off. And I ran back in the room..... And there was blood everywhere. I don't know what happene-" She cried but I cut her off by pulling her into a tight embrace.

"T, it ain't yo fault. I shoulda been a more responsible parent instead of volunteering you to watch my kids. Then this wouldn't of happened. I'm not blaming you at all. Because I know you luh the twins almost as much as I do. And I know you wouldn't ever risk putting them in danger. And I luh you for that." I hug her tightly.
