¤ 16 ¤: Hospital

Mariah POV:

Aug has been at tha hospital fa a few hours. Afta I left tha trap, I went back ta Aug's place and cleaned myself up cuz I had blood on me. When I finished, I sped ta tha hospital. I ran stop signs, lights...all dat. I didn't care. I juss needed ta know if he was 'iight. When I got there I ran inside and went ta tha desk

Desk Lady: "What can I do for ya?"

Me: "I'm lookin' fa August Alsina. What room is he in?"

Desk Lady: "Are you family? Wife?"

Me: "I'm his girlfriend..."

Desk Lady: "Sorry. I can't tell you that information. You have to wait in the waiting area..."

Me: "I needa know what room he's in. I need and want ta know if he's 'iight."

Desk Lady: "Look...."

ERRRRRRR! Did dis bitch juss pop a attitude?! Dis shit ain't finna slide...

Desk Lady: "I said-"

I walked 'round dat counter and grabbed tha collar of ha uniform shirt and pulled ha

Me: "BITCH! TELL ME THA MOTHAFUCKIN' ROOM NUMBA! HE HAS BEEN SHOT! YOU GOT LESS THAN TEN MOTHAFUCKIN' SECONDS TA TELL ME HIS DAMN ROOM NUMBA OTHA WISE IT'S GON' BE A FUCKIN' HURRICANE UP IN DIS BITCH! I ASKED NICELY! NA WHERE THA FUCK IS HIS ROOM?!"

Desk Lady: "I-I-It's...uhhh...532."

I threw ha back in ha chair and she rolled and hit tha stuff behind ha and I smiled

Me: "Thank you"

When I got ta tha elevator, a male doctor came out lookin' at his clipboard

Doc: "Family of August Alsina"

I had walked ova there and Chris started ta rub my back ta keep me calm. I swea' he's juss like my big brotha...

Doc: "I'm doctor Johnson. August is okay now. He had two bullets. One grazed him but still managed to go through his side and one in his right rib...that almost pierced his lung. It took awhile to get it out due to the fact that it was so close." He said holdin' up tha X-Ray

Michael: "Is he awake?"

Doc: "No. Right now he's in a coma. He lost a good amount of blood so we had to do a blood transfusion."

Me: "How long is he gonna be in a coma?"

Doc: "A few days. A few weeks."

Me: "Can we go see him?"

Doc: "Yes you can. But visiting ends in two hours. So if you like you can go two at a time. He's in room 532."

Me: "Thank you"

Doc: "No problem"

He walks away and er'body turns and looks at me

Chris: "Do you wanna go first MeMe?"

Me: "Nah. Y'all can go"

Dey nod and go ta tha elevator. When dey get on, I start pacin' back and forth thinkin' why would dey shoot him? Yea, he a drug lord and allat. But Ion think he did anythang to'em. I sit down and try ta collect myself and I juss breakdown cuz all I keep thinkin' is dat it's my fault. I'm tha reason. Then I rememba what Ray-Ray said. Fa my girl. What tha fuck he mean by dat? Tha moe I think 'bout it, tha harder I cry. Then someone came up ta me askin' bout August. She was really pretty and looks likes August's twin. Juss a lil older. She had ta be at least 40 sum'n'

Lady: "You must be Mariah?"

Me: "Who's askin'?"

Lady: "Oh my bad. My name Sheila. I'm August's mama."

Me: "Oh. Then yea. I'm Mariah." I said wipin' my tears

Sheila: "So your August's girlfriend...?"

I juss nod my head and flip my hair ova my shoulder

Sheila: "You're really beautiful"

Me: "Thank you. So are you."

Sheila: "Thank you. So do you know what happened?"

Me: "Some random guys had pulled up earlier dis mornin'. I went ta warn'em and by time I found'em gunshots was goin' off. He put me in a room and I stayed in fa awhile. But I got out. As I was lookin' around outside, I seen er'body except Aug. Then I heard gunshots go off inside. I got on tha floor, checked his pulse and checked ta see if he was still breathin' and he was. I figured since he was still breathin', he would open his eyes. And he didn't and I freaked out. He's been hea' fa a few hours"

Sheila: "Is he okay? Is my son okay? I only have three sons left. I cant lose him. I lost one, Ion wanna lose anotha. His nieces need a father figure in dey life and he's tha closest thang ta Mel."

Me: "He's ok. But he's in a coma right na..."

Sheila: "Fa how long?"

Me: "Few days. Few weeks. I juss want him next ta me. I need him. I love him too much"

I juss start cryin' and she hugs me. Like...all dis is too much. But I ain't goin' no where. I'm not leavin' his side

Sheila: "It's gon' be okay. He's strong. You really love him, huh?

I juss nod my head

Sheila: "I can tell. His last girlfriend...lemme rephrase dat, hoe, was neva there fa him. You a true ROD and you give off good energy but one question..."

I juss look at ha wit one eyebrow raised already knowin' tha question

Sheila: "You a stripper?"

Me: "*sighs* Yea. But I'm quittin' afta graduation. I need money fa college. No one would hire me cuz my tattoos so dats all dat was left and I damn sho' ain't wanna be a prostitute. Ion like my job. I hate it. I feel nasty doin' what I do. But it's my only source of income"

As I'm talkin' ta Sheila, Chris and nem come and tell me I can go in there na. I gave'em a hug then Sheila and I went ta his room. When I walk in I automatically start cryin'. I hate seein' him like dis. It hurts me. I juss walk in tha hallway ta calm myself and give ha some time wit him. Afta a few minutes, I go back in

Sheila: "Stay strong Mariah. He's gon' be 'iight" She huggin' me

Me: "Thank you Ms. Sheila" I said huggin' back

Sheila: "Girl, you can call me Mama A"

Me: "*giggles* Well thanks Mama A"

Sheila: "When he gets betta, I want us ta get ta'getha fa dinner and fa you ta meet his nieces. Dey will love you."

Me: "I'll be sure dat happens"

Sheila: "Okay hon. But I gotta go. Tell Aug I love him. Even though I did already"

Me: "*giggles* Yes ma'am"

When she walks out, I pull up a chair beside August and hol' his hand. Ya know, he's soft fa a guy.

Me: "Aug, since I know you can hear me, juss know dat I love you. I got yo back no matta what. I'm yo ROD. I tol' you dat from tha beginnin'. But I feel like I'm tha reason you got shot ta'day. Cuz of my connections wit'em. I feel like I put chu in a position dat could've killed you. I feel like shit cuz of it. And dat nigga Ray-Ray gone. He ain't comin' back so dats one less target. I put five caps in his ass afta I seen you on tha floor. Juss know Imma be hea' every single night 'til you wake up. Ion care how long it'll be..."

I kissed him and went ta sleep. I hope he wakes up soon cuz Ion like him dis way. At all...
