New Flame

Chapter 26

Aayliah's P.O.V I Was Awoken By The Sign Of Bright Lights Coming Thru The Blinds Of My Hospital Room.. I Slowly Started To Open My Eyes & Rubbed The Sleep Out Of Them & Saw Chris Standing At The Window Looking Out Clinching The Window Seal... I Knew He Was Still Upset By What Had Taken Place... I Just Don't Want Him To Blame Himself When I Know He Tried Everything Possible To Save Me

"C.. Chris" I Said Clearing My Throat & Saw Him Turn Around

"Hey Babe How'd You Sleep?" He Said Walking Over & Grabbing My Hand & Placing His Head On Top On Mine Sighing

"Okay I Guess But Babe Don't Blame Yourself For What Happened To Me Please I Know In My Heart You Did Everything Possible To Save Me" I Rubbed The Back Of His Hand With His Skull Tattoo With My Finger

"But Babe I Should Of Tried Harder, I Could Of Protected You, This My Fault I Know It Is I Failed You" He Stated With A Tear Rolling Down His Cheek

"Nah Babe You Did Everything You Could Like I Said Babe It Didn't Help When Michael & Elaine Had Us In Separate Rooms With No Way To Get To Each Other.. But Remember That Trip You Was Gonna Take Me On?" I Questioned Him Wiping The Tear Off His Cheek

"Yeah What About It" He Said Looking Into My Eyes

"I Still Wanna Take That Trip With You Babe I Honestly Think We Need It To Get Away From All This Negativity & Get Back To Being Happy Like We Once Were" I Looked Back Into His Eyes & Saw Them Light Up

"I Agree But You Can't Walk Tho Babe Remember Doc Said At Least 6-8 Weeks Until Your H.." I Cut Him Off

"Babe As Long As I'm With You Idc What Kind Of Condition I'm In We Need Us Time" I Smiled & Put My Hand Behind His Head Running My Fingers Thru His Blonde Curls

"You Know What You're Right & I'm Gonna Make It Extra Special For You I Promise You That.. But Let Me Go See If They Finished The Discharge Papers For Ya Ma" He Kissed My Forehead & Walked Out

Chris's P.O.V I Was Excited That My Baby Girl Was Okay.. I Still Wanna Beat The Shit Outta Michael But I'll Get That Day After I Take Care Of My Baby Girl On This Trip She Wants... I Know We Haven't Had Sex Yet But Idc If We Do Cuz Tbh I'm Not In It For The Sex I'm In It For How She Handles Herself.. I Went & Found The Doc That Came To Check On Her

"Excuse Me" I Said Walking Up

"Yes Sir How Can I H..." He Turned Around "Oh Mr Brown Is Everything Okay With Your Girlfriend Aayliah?

"She's Awake Thank You For Saving Her.. I Greatly Appreciate It Sir" I Shook His Hand

"You're Welcome But What Can I Do For You?" He Said Shaking My Hand & Then Letting Go

"I Was Wondering If You've Gotten The Discharge Paper Work Done" I Put My Hands In My Pockets

"Yes Mr Brown It Is.. All I Need Is A Signature & She Can Leave" He Said Handing Me The Papers & A Pen

"I'll Go Ahead & Sign Them" I Grabbed The Pen & Signed Them & Handed Them Back

"Well It's All Set & Just Make Sure You Keep An Eye On Her & If Anything Changes, Bring Her Back As Soon As Possible" He Said Putting The Papers Back In The Folder

"Yes Sir & Thank You Again" I Said Shaking His Hand Again

"You're Welcome" He Said & Walked Away & I Walked Back Into Aayliah's Room

"What They Say Babe? Can I Go Home?" She Asked Sitting Up & Moving Her Falling Hair Outta Her Face

"Yeah Your All Set To Leave & They Gave Me A Wheelchair To Help You Out" I Wheeled It In & Put It Close To The Bed

"Thanks Babe I Appreciate It" She Smiled At Me & I Saw Her Try To Sit Up

"Here Let Me Help You Boo" I Said Placing A Hand Behind Her & Helped Her Sit Up

"Thanks" She Said & Moved Out The Bed Slowly & Into The Chair

"You're Welcome You Ready To Go?" I Asked Spinning The Chair Around Softly To Face The Door

"Yes I Hate Hospitals" She Giggled

"You & Me Both But Let's Go Home & Rest It's Been A Long Night, We Can Pack In The Morning & Leave When You Want" I Said Wheeling Her Out & Getting To The Car

"Agreed" She Said As I Helped Her Into The Front Seat & Buckled Her Up & Saw She Fell Asleep Instantly

I Drove Back To My Crib & Carefully Carried Aayliah Upstairs Laid Her Down & Left Out Quietly To Head To LA So I Could Stopped & Get Her Get Well Gifts That I Had My Boy Jamal & Of Course Mimi Get For... I Pulled Up & Hit Them Both Up

*Text Message*

"Where Y'all At? I'm Here On Melrose" I Hit Send & Instantly Jamal Responded

"Im In Starbucks I Got Her Gifts... Mimi Couldn't Make It She Had Something To Do But I'm On My Way Out" He Replied

"Aight Love" I Hit Send & Put My Phone Away & Posted Up Against My Car & Saw Jamal Walk Out With Some Dude I've Never Seen Before

"Wassup Chris" He Said Approaching Me & Dapped Me

"Nothing Much Man You Can Put The Gifts In The Trunk But Who This Cat?" I Scrunched Up My Face Looking This Dude With Confusion

"Oh This Aayliah's Bro Justice Thought Y'all Met Already" He Said Placing The Gifts Carefully In The Trunk

"Oh Shit Sorry For The Look I Just Gave You My Dude" I Laughed Shaking His Hand

"It's All Good Man No Hard Feelings How You Been" He Shook My Hand Back & Pulled Away Placing It In His Pocket

"Shit Good" I Chuckled

"Yeah She Loves You To Death But We Should Kick It Sometime Soon I Gotta Bounce & Meet Up With The Homie Mimi

"Alright Man For Sure Once I Get Back From This Trip I Got Planned For Your Sis" I Nodded

"Alright Man Catch You Later" He Got In His Car & Drove Off

"Well That Was Awkward" Jamal Said Looking As Justice Drove Off

"Nah I Just Didn't Know It Was Justice" I Chuckled "But Let Me Hit You Up Later & Get These Gifts Back To My Lady Before She Wakes Up Cuz I Know She Gonna Freak When I'm Not There" I Shook My Head Laughing Hearing Aayliah's Voice In My Head

"You Right But Y'all Still Taking That Trip Tho Right" He Asked Curious

"Yeah Once Lil Mama Gets Better... I Know We Close To Getting It Popping" I Pulled A Smoke Out & Lit It

"Damn Son You Still Haven't Tapped That Ass" He Shook His Head Snickering

"Nah Man But She Not Like The Hoes I Use To Fuck Bruh She Different" I Blew Smoke Out

"I Respect That But Bruh When You Hit It, I Better Be The First Mother Fucker To Know"

"I Got You But I'm Out" I Dapped Him & Got In My Car & Drove Back To My Crib Where Aayliah Was
