Mistaken

Chapter 21:

"I'm trying to start my make up portfolio. I'ma even eventually do one online too. Ya girl does this shit right?" I said holding up two pictures.

He nodded smiling while staring at me. "Yeah, she does it."

"You're suppose to look at the pictures not me." I laughed lightly rolling my eyes playfully.

"I was looking at them too."

"Whatever you say Eric. I still can't believe you really didn't bring me any food." I said watching him eat.

"I called you before I came and you said you already ate."

"Oh well, shit. You know I like to eat."

"Here Morgz, damn. We can share." He laughed pushing the food towards me.

"Nope, I'm good. I'm full."

"You get on my damn nerves." He said grinning shaking his head as he dug in his pocket for his ringing phone.

"What!!?" He damn near shouted catching me off gaurd making me jump.

"Shit! I don't have my fuckin car I got dropped off here." He said stopping at the door looking frantic.

"I'll take you." I said grabbing my jacket and keys.

"Uh, where are we going?" I asked as I pulled off and he was quiet in a daze.

"Hospital." I nodded.

"She tried to kill herself." He mumbled quietly, but I heard him. My eyes snapped to him as they widened. "While my daughter was with her."

I was shocked. I didn't even know what to say back. I just sped the rest of the way to the hospital.

"Can you come inside with me?" He asked when we finally got to the hospital.

I shook my head. "Um, I don't think that is a good idea."

"Please." He said breaking his daze to look at me.

I sighed nodding.

I look down as he grabbed my hand as we walked inside. I would usually pull away, but I didn't this time. He needed this support right now.

"Eric honey." A pretty older lady said coming over towards us as we walked inside the emergency area.

She glance at our hands. I easily slide mine from his not wanting her to get the wrong idea.

She hugged Eric than looked at me. "Hi you're very pretty. Are you his girlfriend?"

"Thank you and no we are just friends." I said.

"I'm Unique's mom. Well she's right in that room over there." She said pointed and we started following her.

I stopped just outside the door not going inside.

"What are you doing?" Eric stopped and asked. "Come on."

"Eric. No, the girl doesn't even like me so why would I go up in there."

"Silly, girl come in here." Her mom said grabbing my arm pulling me inside as I tried to pull back saying no.

Arie was in a older man's arm screamin her lungs out crying.

"Dadda!" She screamed reaching out to Eric. He took her and she quieted down instantly.

"Eric!" Unique exclaimed happily as she seen Eric, but her smile left her face real quick changing to a scowl as she noticed me. "What the fuck are you doing here!?"

"Unique! You do not talk to people like that!" Her mom exclaimed looking truly surprised at her daughters words. This lady must not know her own daughter.

"No, I don't like that bitch! It's all her fault that he doesn't love me like I want him to. If she wouldn't have came around shit would not have been like this! Eric you need to make a fuckin choice. Either you keep being bullshit ass friends with her or it's me and your daughter. You will never fuckin see her again and I will not stop harming myself."

I think we all stood there shocked for a minute because this bitch is really crazy.

I looked over to Eric and he looked lost like he was really contemplating what this bitch just said.

I shook my head pulling my arm from her mom's. "I'ma go. This is a family matter and obviously y'all need to talk, in private." I said backing up.

Eric stared at me as I left. I shrugged shaking my head turning and leaving.

I held my head as I finally got back into my car. This shit too much for me.

"Man, I need a fuckin drink."

Morgan had music blasting as she downed another glass. Banging from the front door made her jump.

"Oh hello Eric." She said opening the door laughing.

"Are you drunk?" Eric asks.

"Nope. Just a lil tipsy. Ooh come in you could us a few drinks too."

Morgan pulled him inside shutting the door. She poured him a drink handing it to him.

Eric looked down at the drink debating if he should, but he figured what the hell he needed some type of escape from the bullshit he had to deal with today.

They were on their second bottle and both becoming more and more drunk. They were laughing for no reason.

"You so sexy Morgz." Eric slurs smiling laying on top of her kissing on her jaw.

Morgan laughed looking up at him. "You too chocolatey." She laughed at her now slur of words.

They tripped together as Morgan pulled him up off the couch and up the stairs.

They kissed sloppily while pulling each other's clothes off.

Morgan pictured Kahron the whole time.
