Miami, Florida||Thursday||1:00 P.M
English Cunningham
A gasp escapes my lips before my eyes open.
A sharp pain shot through my chest causing me to cough, more pain erupting in chest.
"Careful", a voice says from inside the room, "yuh frighten me eno".
I move my head slightly in the direction of the voice.
The familiar dark skinned man sat next to me on a chair, both hands clasped as he looked at me.
He had tear stains on his face, I could see the pain in his light brown eyes as he stared at me.
My eyes moved from him to roam around the room, sounds of machines beeping lowly could be heard inside the room.
Sounds of people walking around and talking outside was evident.
The room was white, very spacious from the where in laying.
I acknowledged that I had something wrapped tightly around my torso and my right arm was inside a band, tied to my chest to keep it up.
"Mi nuh know wah me wuda do if yuh never make it", the man stands up and moves closer to me.
"Daddy.....", a tear escapes my eye seeing him after so long.
This condition wasn't what we agreed on.
My free hand lifts weakly, which he takes with a chuckle, shaking it.
"What happened?" I ask attempting to sit up, I groan as the pressure built up in my body.
"Just sekkle likkle bit Don" he says putting his hand on my shoulder to stop, "Jonathan find the house so him send man after yuh, like him did know a you alone deh home".
My eyebrows creased, "no, Beck start it".
"Wah?"
"Beck, a him start it, him and Jonathan a work"
Bloodclaat.
"A him carry yuh go a the hospital", he drifts off into his thoughts, "a him first reach yuh when it all go dung".
"Weh Tanoi?"
Yuh best friend almost kill yuh and yaah worry bout yuh sister weh safe.
She nuh safe because him know weh she deh.
"Jamaica, mi send her down fi do sumn"
Dat mean him fly me out.
"Daddy, cho bumboclaat man"
The machines start to go off as I sat up, ignoring the pain. It felt as if every nerve in my body was being pulled, my head started to hurt, preventing me from getting off the bed.
Dizziness hits me like a truck, I fall back into the bed with a grunt.
"Yuh mada down there"
I look at him, making sure he was serious about his statement.
A lie.
"How comes?", I take a deep breath, "Tanoi see her already?".
"Just know she down there, and no, yuh sister nuh know yet"
"If Tanoi deh Jamaica which part Dre deh?"
"Him and Cheyenne in England, dem safe"
"Daddy, weh yuh send Tanoi alone gone a Jamaica fah, yuh like do things back way or sumn?"
