Love

Mina
3 months later...

I smiled at Tre as he woke up.

It's been three months and I miss Jet like you can't believe. I finally let myself be weak and cry not to long ago. Hannibal woke me up in the middle of the night.

Flashback...

"Mimi". He shook my shoulder waking me up. I looked at my phone to see it was 3 AM.

"Yes?" I propped myself up on my elbow, rubbing my eyes.

"How do you keep from stop crying, because I haven't see you cry since JJ is gone. And I cry lots of times. You don't love him anymore?" His eyes watered and I sat up.

"Come here baby". He sat on my lap and I hugged him tight as he cried on my chest.

"Look at me. I love your brother very much. More than I love myself at times. He means a lot to me and I'm just trying to stay strong for you. So you won't want to be sad all the time. Because if I cry then I'll be crying all the time". I wiped his cheeks and kissed them.

"But you gotta cry. Don't you want to?" I nodded and felt the tears rush down my face. That night we cried together till we fell asleep again. 

Flash back over...

I'm scared for J and Hannibal. 

I can't lose them both. The court date for custody of Hannibal is in a few days and I've been stressing out about it. My parents really love him. We enrolled him into the elementry school thats 10 minutes away from Howard. They wake up early every morning to make him breakfast and pack his lunch when he's here. Just like they used to do me when I was his age.

He doesn't ask about his parents, it's like they don't exsist to him. But if they wanted to they could break into our house and take him back and tell the police we kidnapped him.

Tre smiled at me slightly. He was in a medically induced coma since his injuries were so severe. He had woke up a few weeks ago and I've finally had a clear spot in my hetic life to see him after I dropped Hanny off at school.

"How are you feeling?" He held his left thumb up since it was the only one of his 10 digits that weren't broken.

"Mina I know you wanna know who did this". He spoke lowly since he was in a full head piece to realign his jaw. They had to drill his his head to crack it back into place. He is missing a lot of his teeth and he'll probably have to wear vanears for the rest of his life.

"Did Raquel do this too you". He barely nodded but I saw it. She is crazy. Something has to be mentally wrong with for you to do something like this to a person.

"I'm so sorry this happened to you". Tears slid down my face and I tried to stop them but every time I start I can't stop.

"Don't be. I treated you bad and this is what I deserve". I shook my head and wiped my face.

"Don't say that. You have a concussion, a broken jaw, and two broke hands. No one deserves this".

"But I hit you". I sighed.

"But you were raised thinking that was okay. Don't keep beating yourself up anymore. Blame the enviorment you were raised in". He smiled at me.

"Thank you".
