Save Me

Recovery & Remarks

It's Friday, and Amari was still in the hospital. Mila and Josiah had stayed with her while Malik went to work. Malik didn't want to go in, but Amari told him to since he had already missed several days while she was in a coma.

"Ayo, you hungry?" JP asked Mila.

Mila was busy on her phone texting her 'mystery friend' (Amari says). She looked at JP and asked, "What you finna get?"

"Shiitt... Brielle wanted some In-n-Out. I'm finna run by there and Chic-fil-A. What you want?" JP responded.

Mila took a minute to think about what she wanted. She wasn't sure what she had a taste for, but she knew it had to be spicy. Her pregnancy cravings had her eating all kinds of things, but mainly spicy food. "Ion't know. Baby girl wants something spicy. Shit gon' give me hella heartburn, but fuck it."

JP quickly turned to Mila and stared at her for a second. "You havin' a girl!?"

Mila smiled and squealed, "YES! I'm havin' a mini-me.. but shhh. I'm planning a gender reveal."

JP laughed and said, "Brielle finna be happy as fuck. She said she wanted you to have a girl. And bet, I won't say nun'. Just me and you know?"

"Yeah, I planned on tellin' only you cause I need yo help." Mila told JP.

JP nodded his head and said, "Fasho. I got you. What you need? Y'all still doin' Malik surprise birthday dinner?"

Mila shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know... I hope so, but you know 'Mari was the one who paid for everything."

"All of that!?" JP bucked his head and asked.

Mila nodded her head and said, "Yup! But... you didn't hear that from me."

JP didn't say anything back. He only walked out the room and tried to put two and two together. *Maybe it's her savings or what her parents left her...?*

**Self(ish/less)**

Amari was finally out the shower. She came out to the room being cleaned and smelling good. "Awwe... y'all cleaned my room and got it smelling good. Thank you."

Mila giggled and said, "That was JP. He cleaned, disinfected and sprayed everything down."

"Oh, still awwe... Where is he anyway?" Amari asked Mila.

"He... uhhh..." Mila was so focused on texting she couldn't even get her words out. "He... What'd you ask again?"

Amari watched her as she quickly ran her fingers across her phone. Whoever she was texting, Amari was jealous of them. They were getting more attention, but Amari was the one in the hospital. "You know... if you would just put yo phone down and pay attention to what I'm saying or askin' you'd remember what I asked. Never mind though. I'll just call him." Amari was now irritated.

"He went to get us some food... See! I am paying attention." Mila said only telling half the truth.

Amari still called JP. She rolled her eyes at Mila and said, "Whatever."
