Hard Knocks

Chapter 17" I missed you"

Nia

" You need some more water baby" my mother asked.

Her and my father flew in the same day from Georgia to Michigan.

Now that they are here I realized how much I really missed them.

" no I'm fine" I said shaking my head a little.

" where do this nigga live at so I can beat his ass" my father said furious.

" Nathan chill before you be back in jail" My mom said shaking her head.

When my dad saw me he literally broke down crying. Out of all my years I have never seen him cry which really broke me.

After a while In came Marley. Once she saw me she had that same pity look on her face.

But It wasn't her fault.

" hey y'all" she said to my parents.

They gave her a small smile.

" these are for you, they came from my brother"

I looked at the yellow roses. That was so sweet of him.

" awwwl he didn't have to"

" I know but he feels that it's his fault for introducing you to him" She said sadly.

" um sweetie me and your father are going to get something to eat you want anything" my mom said standing to her feet along with my dad.

" no I'm fine mom"

I watch them both walk out.

" girl if your mama wasn't with your daddyyyy" Marley said

I laughed at her.

" that's nasty" I said making a face.

" I'm just saying, but anything new"

I shook my head.

" no same ole same ole" I said looking at my fingers.

The doctors told me that my uterus was perforated and that I will need surgery.

Also that it's a possibility that I want be able to carry a baby it's full term. That was some heart breaking news that Im still not able to take in.

" Nia I promise you if I would ha-"

" Marley it's not your fault, this is all me" I said to her.

" No it's not. A man should never put his hands I wish  you could of told me about this, I could of told my baby daddy about this so he could kick his ass you know he crazy"

" now you are starting to sound like my dad"

" well good we both speaking the same language"

I was laughing at her when a knock came to the door.

I told the person behind it to come in.

It was Rock.

He was dress down in some grey joggers and a Nike shirt.

Simple clothes still made him look so handsome.

" hey" I said softly. I sure didn't want him to see me like this.

I could barley see out my left eye, both of my cheeks where purple-bluish, and busted lip that was slowly healing.

I also had cast on my arm since it was fractured.

Ashton really did try to kill me last night because He thought I was cheating on him.

It stayed quiet until Marley spoke up.
