Holding Carmen against me, I kept my arms around her as I watched my coworkers fill my bedroom. I guess after seeing me run out of the meeting, cussing up a storm, they knew something would go down, because they were here without anybody calling them. And as I had been doing, I glared at a bleeding Scott that was now handcuffed and getting carried out of my room.

Once he was gone, I made everyone else get the fuck out of my house, and told Anthony and Trey to get out of my room.

At the moment, I was absolutely seething with anger, and the feeling of Carmen sobbing against my chest only fueled my fire.

"Baby, look at me mama." I said softly, trying to lift her face from my chest.

Once I managed to get her to stop crying so hard, I took her to the bathroom and sat her on the sink, preparing to take a look at her neck. From what I was able to see, Scott had a pretty good hold on her, because her face literally looked blue when I got to the room.

Delicately, I lifted her chin with my finger and looked at her now purple neck. Every inch of it had already bruised up, and along with it was a single red scratch. Just looking at that shit on my baby fucked me up.

"How bad does it hurt, baby?" I asked her.

"It-" cutting herself off, she winced hard as hell and placed her hand over her throat, just the small word she was able to get out was raspy and barely audible. Because of that, I knew this shit wasn't good.

"Aight, I'm gonna take you to the hospital, okay? You need to get checked out."

Instead of speaking, she just nodded her head and let me take her to the bedroom. Once she put on a pair of slides, I grabbed her by the hand and lead her downstairs, where I could see Anthony and Trey holding the twins, who must have woken up after hearing all the commotion from my room.

"Can you guys watch them? I'm running her to the hospital." I said.

"Yeah, we got them." Anthony nodded.

Nodding, I took Carmen out to my car that was still running and wasted no time in speeding to the hospital, scared out of my mind.

I was in the middle of my fucking meeting when my phone starting ringing with our elderly neighbors phone number. When she called, I actually had half a mind to decline it, but the feeling in my gut told me to answer it, so I did... and thank God I did. She told me that she was outside watering her plants when she heard Carmen yelling at somebody to get out, and when she looked over and saw a man she didn't recognize basically yelling in Carmen's face, her first instinct was to call me. Once she described Scott to me as the man in my house, I ran out of that meeting and sped all the way to my house, running three red lights in the process. Now how this man built up the audacity to put his hands on my baby was beyond me, but his actions almost landed him in a grave, and that's exactly where he would be if Anthony hadn't grabbed my arm and prevented me from shooting him graveyard dead.

Once we arrived at the hospital, we thankfully didn't have to wait long before we were called back.

Now that Carmen was sitting on the examination table, we waited silently for a Doctor or nurse to come see us, which happened to be taking longer than getting called back here did.

Feeling her grip my hand tighter, I allowed her to pull me in front of her and stood between her thighs. Wrapping my arms around her, I kissed the side of her forehead and sighed softly.
