58.

Trigger warning: chapter may be sensitive, gruesome, cruel or emotional to some.

My mind was racing as I pulled into the hospital parking garage. I jumped out and jogged to the entrance.

I went to the floor Rose told me they'd be on.

There sat Rose, Lauren, Royalty and George in the waiting room. Rose saw me first, her eyes were bloodshot red, and a few tears were still falling. She tapped George and instructed him to come over to me.

"Come on, we can go talk outside." He said and walked ahead of me

"What's goin' on?" I asked

He ignored me until we made it outside of the hospital.

He took a deep breath and turned to me, he looked so distraught as well. I know something has happened but no one is telling me yet and the silence is killing me.

"Is India alright?" I asked

He looked up as if he was trying to fight tears, "She's alright, son, the baby didn't make it." He said

There was silence.

My world crashed. Knots felt like vomit about to come up at any second, my mind went blank.

I let out a nervous chuckle, "Nah...."

He nodded, indicating I was wrong.

"How— how did this happen?!" I asked

"She was crossing the street and a car hit her. She fell directly on top of her stomach, and the impact killed the baby instantly." He explained

"Royalty said the car looked like our SUV, but it was black." He added

I didn't realize so many tears had soaked my face by now. George tried to rub my arm to console me but that couldn't soften the blow.

"Nah, Nah— don't touch me!" I said and stormed off

I sped out of the parking lot and started driving anywhere at first. Then I did a U-Turn and went towards Sabrina's house.

I can bet money she was the one that did this, or she sent somebody to do it. It's not just a freak accident. A black SUV at that, no coincidence. This bitch been texting me from different numbers these past few weeks trying to get my attention, trying to stop by, disrespecting India and threatening her. I'll block one number and she'll use another. I intended to tell India numerous of times but I didn't want to ruin her moods or stress her about it. But, I know for a fact it was that bitch.

I was speeding, damn near ran red lights, making sharp turns, I couldn't wait to get there.

When I got there her car was outside. I went to my trunk and grabbed my metal bat.

I went to her car and started bashing her windows, each one. I knocked her side mirrors off then grabbed my pocket knife and punctured each tire.

She snatched the door open, looking all drugged out,"That's right, bring yo ass outside bitch!!" I yelled

"What have you done to my car?!!" She yelled

"Shut that shit up, you mad because I don't want yo' ass so you go hit my girl and 'cause her to lose our baby?!" I yelled, tears just kept falling. I couldn't control 'em.

"It got you here though." She said and shrugged

I paused and started tapping the bat on the ground, "You think that's cute, huh? Tryna have on this fake crazy role?" I asked, stepping towards her
