Chapter 11:
KEVIN
After a few days at the hospital, my Dad's condition didn't seem to improve.
James was very supportive and visited me every day after his college classes.
I sat down on the hospital bench one day when the doctors were figuring out a chemo plan.
That's when I spotted Juwariya. As soon as she approached me, I hugged her and poured out my emotions.
"That's it. The only family member I have left is going to leave me. I don't want to lose him..." I said and gripping onto her tightly.
She didn't push me away which I was thankful for. I needed all the support I could get. "Everything's going to be alright. Don't worry. Your dad's going to get better." She said, trying to squeeze herself out of the embrace. However, before she could escape, I gripped onto her tighter.
After a few minutes, I looked at her and thanked her for being supportive. We both sat down and I asked how she found out.
"The whole college heard about it. Somehow." She replied looking concerned. I regretted ever treating her badly.
"I have to go now. I have a work shift so take care." She stood up to leave. I hugged her one last time and thanked her again for coming.
"Oh and if you don't mind, just drop off my notes because I need them."
"Oh, right. I'll do that."
After she had left, my phone rang and to my surprise, it was Simone. I honestly forgot her existence this whole time.
"Hi, babe. I know you've been having a hard time so why not attend a party and get your mind off it?" Simone giggled, not even bothering to ask about my well-being. I furrowed my eyebrows in frustration.
"Maybe you should since your father is clearly dying. We're over." I hung up straight after. I didn't like her anymore. Looks like she isn't who I thought she was.
A nurse came out of my dad's room, telling me that my dad wanted to speak to me. I walked into my dad's hospital room. He laid there helplessly and it broke my heart.
I entered the room hesitantly.
"My son." He called out in a serious tone. "There is something I have to tell you. I have been keeping this away from you. It's about your mom."

Spiritual"Let go of me!" I yelled, trying to push Kevin off of me. He grabbed me by my hair underneath my hijab (headscarf) and pushed me to the floor. "Next time, don't mess with me you black terrorist!" He shouted as he let go of my headscarf. Meet Juwariy...
