Kiana Brown
Next Day
Cortez House
I laid on Cortez chest as he watched television. To be honest I was tired as hell. I barely got any rest last night due to this child of mines. I didn't wanna fall asleep on Cortez, but I was slowly getting there.
"Baby, yo' phone ringing. I know you here that shit buzzing". He said making me yawn.
I sat up and reached over him. Grabbing my phone, it was Rashad who was tryna call me. I clicked accept and lazily pushed the phone to my ear.
"Hello"?
"Kiana, this nigga out of his mind bro! He got into a car accident"! He yelled into the phone.
"Who"? I asked instantly waking up.
"Draco! This nigga came over and smoked about fifteen damn blunts. We told him to just stay here and take a nap. His shit was red as fuck bruh. Now his ass in the damn hospital".
"What is his problem? Like what's going on"? I asked confusingly.
"Shit". Rashad sighed, "my nigga going through depression".
I sighed, "I'm on my way. I'll text you when I get there".
Cortez face frowned up but I ignored it.
"Aight, bye".
He hung up the phone and I got up. I grabbed my purse and other belongings.
"Where you going"?
"To the hospital". I stated simply.
"Why? Who you going to see"? He asked sitting up in the bed.
"Draco". I told truthfully.
He bawled up his face before laughing. I stared at him as I sighed getting ready for this argument.
"So you leaving yo' nigga to go see another nigga"? He asked getting off the bed.
"He's my–"
He shrugged, "I don't give a fuck if he was Jesus. You just can't up and leave me to go see another nigga. The fuck kinda girlfriend are you? You disrespectful ass hell".
"If it's that deep just come. I mean it's not that serious Cortez"! I yelled frustrated.
"Nah, gon' head and go. I'm letting you know now tho' that when you leave out that door don't come back. We gon' be done for good and that's on my mama. Matter of fact, I want you to leave so you can see what the fuck you gon' miss". He licked his lips before getting back into his bed.
"I'm tired of this shit dude! You acting like I'm fucking this man! I've told you befo' that I would never cheat on you or do anything to hurt you! Why the fuck do you keep making me feel bad"? I asked as a single tear fell down my face.
"Bye". He said nonchalantly.
I surrendered and grabbed my stuff. I didn't even feel like arguing. That's all he did was stress me out. I'm about to have a baby, I don't need this extra shit. I don't need a man to help me raise a baby.
~~~
I walked into the hospital in nothing but my big t-shirt and some tights. I didn't even have time to comb my hair. I didn't come here to get a man though, I came to help out my friend. I found Rashad in the waiting room along with Tonya, and Montay. I didn't even look her way though.
"Is he okay"? I asked hugging Rashad.
He nodded, "it took you a while to get here".
"Cortez–nevermind. Can I go see Draco"? I asked making him nod.
"Go down that hallway, first room on the left". He directed.
I followed his directions and walked down the hallway. I stopped at his room door and looked inside. He was just laying there watching TV. I knocked on the window and he looked over at me. He waved his hand making me enter.
"Hi, are you okay"? I asked coming towards him.
"Yeah, I think so". He sighed.
I got in the hospital bed with him and he smiled. I leaned over and hugged him as I felt a tear fall. I've been too busy worried about Cortez that I haven't been a good friend.
"Don't cry, you'll upset the baby". He laughed.
I wiped my tears, "I just want you to be happy. This isn't you".
He propped his head against the pillows as he held me in his arms. I heard him sigh before he began to speak.
"I'm always happy when I'm with you. So stop crying so much, this isn't you either".
"Okay". I sniffled, "you're right".
"I know I am". He mumbled cockily.
I hit his hand, "shut up you bug".
2 hours later.
I woke up still next to Draco in the hospital bed. He was knocked out, plus the lights were off. It had gotten dark and the only light you saw was coming from the TV. I guess I ended up falling asleep. The hospital be so damn cold so I can't help it.
I didn't wanna leave him, so I just scooted closer and put my head on his chest. I heard my phone ding, so I quickly unlocked it.

I blocked his number and threw my phone on the ground. I knew I was crying because he did hurt my feelings. I don't need a man to help me raise my kid. My mother raised me all my life until now. She was on drugs and all but still managed to give me a good life and what I needed.
No matter how mad I be at Keegan, he does love me and help me out too. I know what ever I do Keegan would never kick me out or intentionally hurt me. I do make him mad, but he told me once before, "just because I'm angry don't think I'll ever hit you. And if I do hit you, you better find the closest thing and kill me".
"Kiana"?
I turned away from him and wiped my tears. He had told me earlier to stop crying. I just couldn't though, it's too much going on. I've never been this emotional in my life before. Maybe it's the baby, it has to be.
"Y-Yes"? My voice cracked.
"Stop crying". He sighed, "it isn't healthy for the baby".
"You're right. And you're the one who seems to be the only one that cares". I wiped my tears.
He pulled me closer, "of course I care. I'm not the only one though. You need to talk to Tonya. She's yo' best friend and y'all need each other".
"But she–"
"She misses you". He cut me off, "she talks about y'all past all the time and it makes her cry sometimes. She'd always bring up how you peed on yourself on the swing in first grade after you seen as spider and she'd laugh, but it'd slowly turn into a cry".
"That damn Tonya, she know she could've kilt the spider for me". I chuckled.
"Kiana. Just talk to her, she misses you".
I nodded, "only because of you though".
"You so stubborn". He laughed loudly.
"Whatever, when do you go home?"
"In about three days, why"?
"Cause. I wanna help you out". I told truthfully.
"Oh, okay. Well you know where I stay". He smiled.
"Yeah, I do". I grinned.
"You so damn weird"!
~~~
It was a little bit after ten when I came home. I tried to sneak up stairs before Keegan caught me. It was too late though, he was sitting at the top of the steps in the dark.
"Keegan I–"
He threw his hand up making me be quiet.
"Just go to bed girl". He sighed.
I walked past him going into my room. I took a deep breath before I slowly got into the bed. I was tired as hell, I didn't even feel like taking a shower. I got myself in the morning though.
