"I'm going to go talk to the doctor." I heard as I was starting to wake up. I knew it was my mom, I heard her soft voice.
"Hurry back Kim I think she's waking up!" My aunt Tonya said as I looked over to her.
"Hey," I said weakly as she looked startled.
Growing up she was my favorite aunt that I didn't see a lot. Both of my mom's sisters were successful, as well as herself. My aunt was an actress, my other aunt Carol, and my mom were both lawyers.
"I look like shit don't I?"

Slightly laughing at her not wanting to hurt my feelings, I thought about what I been through the past few days.
"I'm so glad you're okay." She said wiping a tear that had fell out her eyes.
"We were so worried your mom told me you were kidnapped, and I rushed over here staying with her through every step of the way."
"Thank you. I know she was a mess. I know all of you were." Playing with my fingers I felt bad that they even went through this.
"Hey, baby girl!" My dad said coming in with my mom behind him. She screamed coming over to me giving me a hug, as he embraced me with hugs, and kisses also.
"I'm so glad you're okay Trinity." My mom said sitting down bringing a chair close to me as she moved my hair out my face.
"I'm okay. I'm just glad to be out of there. Where are they?" I asked moving a little in the bed.
"All of them are in jail facing years. The drugs they gave you could have affected your organs, they could have been damaged. But my baby a fighter!" My dad said making me smile.
"You guys found me because of the text I sent to Keyshawn right?" My mom nodded her head.
"He was worried sick about you. He called me, and the police immediately about you, and we headed on to you. He's outside if you want to see him. First let the doctor see you." Going back out, a white male came in smiling with a black nurse behind him.
"Trinity how do you feel?"
"Not like myself."
Chuckling he took out his stethoscope and put it on my chest. "Well that's normal. You're actually doing good for someone who took in those drugs. You could have died, you're lucky. Very strong."
"Thank you."
"We have to run a few tests on you, but you won't have to stay that long. Just for a couple of days." Nodding my head telling them I understood I turned to my mom.
"Can you get everyone else to please?" I asked as my throat began dry, as they all got out their seats.
A few minutes the door opened, and I saw a tired looking group of my friends. All standing there as they didn't know what to say.
"It's okay guys at least I'm not dead." I joked trying to change the mood as no ones face turned into a smile.
"Wow. Tough crowd" I said as Amanda and Lauren busted out crying at the same time. Lauren was the first to walk over to me, as Bridget came next.
"Don't joke like that we were worried sick. I actually thought you were dead!" Shyan screamed at me making me feel bad.
Coming over to give me a hug too, Natalie, Catherine, Zoe, Karin, and Simone followed. Whispering a bunch of sweet stuff in my ear I thanked them and told them to go get some rest, and that they can come tomorrow.
"I'm so sorry Trinity man. I came as fast I could but there was traffic a-"
"Stop." I cut Demetrius off as tears ran down his eyes.
"You came as quick as you can, and that's all that matters. Did you try and help to find me too?" I asked him as he shook his head fast.
"We all did. We were all going, crazy man. I needed my little sister."
Smiling at him it warmed my heart how much he cared about us being siblings.
"Exactly. That's all that matters. You missed me and did everything you could. All of you did. That's all that matters to me, and will ever."
Looking over at Keyshawn who was the only one in the room beside us. He looked at me with low eyes, and a tear dropped from his eyes.
"Can you give me a minute? Actually, I want you to go home, get rest, Demetrius. I'm good now. Come tomorrow." Smiling he kissed my forehead before dapping Keyshawn up and walking out the door leaving it closed.
"Come here Key." Frozen he couldn't move, it was like he was shocked that I was here right now.
I was gone for five days, but I could tell he felt it like it was more time."Baby come please." I couldn't move the pain in my stomach was holding me back and the wires attached to the machine connected to my wrist.
Sitting in the seat my mom was once in he held my hand as he looked at all the machines like they were foreign objects.
"I should have answered my phone. I was just so excited about the song I put out." He said shaking his head as he gripped my hand tighter.
"Keyshawn what did I just tell Demetrius. It's not your fault. You were busy or doing something. You look like you've been beating yourself the last few days about it. I respect it and appreciate it. It shows me you care about me. You understand?"
"I understand." Moving over a little I wanted him to lay in the bed with me.
Cuddling in my neck he kept me warm.
"I heard the song I loved it. You did a good job, and I understand what you mean now about lyrics about me will be in it sometimes."
"Thank you. A lot of people have been hitting me up to do shows and stuff. My music finally paying off."
Smiling we connected hands, as he kissed them.
"I'm proud of you. You gon' do the shows right?"
"Of course when you get bet-"
"No. You're going to do it right away."
"I'm not. When I feel like you're good, I'll do them. You're not changing my mind. I thought I lost you, I'm not going through that again."
Not saying anything we sat in silence as we just observed each other. I wasn't going to argue with him.
"I love you Keyshawn." I found myself saying not looking up at him in case he didn't want to say it back.
