Learn Ya

Chapter 11: Part 2

"Got Damnit Angel! Everything isnt about you!!! Look around you. Do you see the shit we in! Like for real!"

I forced myself not to let another tear drop. Ill be damned.

But He was right.

"Shes mad at me. She HATES ME!" He screamed. Before I knew what was happening he burst out in tears in my lap. I held him as he cried. I knew he was hurting.

"I moved so my family wouldnt have to go through this shit man. My HOUSE JUST GOT SHOT UP! My baby could have been hit. My wife." Then he stopped talking.

"Pause. Wife?"

I waited for a response. I wasnt sure if I heard him quite right.

"Yeah. Im going to make her my wife soon. I got the ring and everything." He sat up and I saw the slight smile on his face. 

Throughout all the jokes and complaining, he really does love Tasha. I wish she knew just how much.

"Scoop was the reason I decided to stop playing with her. He made me realize that Tasha has been with me through everything.Without her Im nothing man. And to think I just almost got them both killed..." I had to stop him from thinking like this. 

"Marcus stop. Tasha loves you. If she didnt, believe me you already know she would have left yo ass after burning the whole damn house down." With that he looked at me and we both started laughing. 

Yes, I was being a bit dramatic but it was the least I could do. After all, Marcus is the reason anyone ever smiled sometimes, so the least I could do was return the favor.

"Look, Ill take care of everything here. Go check on ya girl."

He gave me a head nod and faded into the crowd.

As I sat there I thought about the look on Dontè's face. It was pure coldness. I had never seen him look like that. 

I took my phone out of my back pocket and unblocked his number. Then I called. Not to my surprise, it went straight to voicemail. All three times.

I gave up and said a silent prayer, hoping that he wouldnt do anything reckless. 

I sat there for what seemed like a lifetime until I heard,

" The family of Scoop?"

I heard the voice of the lady doctor when the writing Dr. Holmes on her coat. I hesitated. How come they didnt call his government name.  Not to judge, but "Scoop" couldnt be it.

I walked up to the doctor.

"Me. Im here."

She looked me up and down before analyzing my appearance.

"Im sorry but I do not know you. Where is Marcus?"

Before I could respond, Marcus walks in with baby Jonathan whipping his eyes. He gives the doctor a head nod. Then and only then does she walk us to his room.

On the way to the room, Jonathan gets tired of walking so Marcus picks him up. As soon as he hits his shoulder he goes right to sleep. I make a mental note to remind myself not to say anything to Tasha about the engagement.

When we get to his door, there are two police officers exiting.

Shit.

Marcus squeezes my arm and leads me into the room. As soon As we get in "Dr. Holmes" locks the door.

I looked around the room. It was huge. We where currently in a living room looking area rather than a hospital room. There were two doors, the one we walked in with and another one on the opposite side.
