Did I have the surgery and something had gone wrong? I felt myself breaking down.
“Daddy, what’s going on?”
“That tear next to your heart caused you to have stroke,” the doctor began explaining. “Your heart wasn’t functioning properly and your organs began to shut down which caused you to go into a coma. You’ve been in a coma for six weeks now.”
I looked from my daddy to my mama for either of them to confirm when I thought about something I had said before.
She’d been going on since before the detectives arrived. She almost made me wish that I had been in a damn coma so I didn’t have to hear her mouth.
Those words replayed in my head over and over again. It was like a bad tune that I just couldn’t seem to get out of my head. I looked at my mama and felt so bad that I had said that about her. She could be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I still loved her. I reached out and wrapped my arms around her, squeezing her as tight as my body would allow.
“I’ll be back through to check on you all later. This is awesome news today and she looks well,” the doctor said before he exited the room and my mama ran over to him and hugged him.
I lightly chuckled and then reached out to my dad to give him a hug as well.
I can’t believe that I’ve been in a coma for six whole weeks. I shook my head and thought about all that I had gone through over the past year. I’ve been given so many chances at life that I knew that it was a sign to straighten up and fly right. I started thinking about future and how I had put my life on hold to be Quin’s wife.
“Have you all heard from Imran? He told me that he would be here for my surgery?” I asked thinking how I wanted him to be a part of my future.
My daddy nodded. “He was here with you just about every day that you had been in that coma. He called yesterday morning and asked did we want anything for breakfast and that he was on his way, but he never showed up. I tried calling him a few times but didn’t get an answer.”
He took his cell phone away from his belt clip and then looked at the screen.
“So he was here with me every day?” I asked hopefully. Those words were music to my ears.
“Yea he was. He has been a great support system to us,” my mama said, surprising the hell out of me.
“I’ll step outside and try to call him. I know this will be news that he will be glad to hear.”
I watched as my daddy walked out of the hospital room and into the hallway with his phone to his ear. My mama took a seat next to me and just held on tightly to my hands. I could see that she was so happy. I hoped that after all this that we could maybe begin to work on our relationship. She was never happy with the decisions I made, and we were constantly at each other’s throats. I wanted it to be different, and I wanted her to know that I loved her.
My phone began buzzing in my pocket as I rounded the corner of the hospital. I looked up and saw Jahzara’s dad pacing back and forth with his cell fixed at his ear. I reached in my pocket and pulled mine out and chuckled when I noticed that he was calling me. He finally brought his head up and spotted me with a huge smile lining his face. I’ve never seen him smile like that during all these weeks I’ve been at the hospital.
Last night, I had barely escaped death and still ended up leaving that muthafucka with nothing. Chino and Ray did plan to rob Rozalyn and didn’t bring a dime along with them. I hated that I have moved on them so suddenly because I still ended up with nothing. At least it was over and I was alive. Them fools were dead and I didn’t have to worry about them anymore.
I
f me and my boys wouldn’t have been there they probably would have killed Rozalyn’s little ass. She didn’t have any backup. I think she made that nigga Black up. Her dumb ass had come there solo. It was just her and those ten bricks that she was riding around with in her trunk. I didn’t know what the fuck was going on with that damn girl! I hope that somebody talks to her or Tamar about that shit quick, or else she’s gonna wind up dead really soon. She has no clue what the fuck she’s doing.
It wasn’t my problem or for me to worry about. As far as the whole thing with my uncle Dom thinking it was surrounded by the DEA and FEDs was all misinformation that had been given. We were able to walk away from that shit with our lives and hopefully not ever have to worry about the police.
I had stopped by Rain’s hotel room where she’d been staying seeing as how she didn’t show up like she was supposed to. When I’d gotten there, the hotel informed me that she’d checked out and turned in her keys. I called her a few times and was unable to get in contact with her. I assumed that he had run in fear that I would kill her and she was right. I had plans to murk her, but she got lucky, and got away.
“Hey,” I said as I reached James. I held my hand out and shook his and he pulled me in for a hug.
“She’s awake man! She’s awake,” James said cheerfully.
Immediately, I lit up on the inside with joy. After that shit that went down last night, I needed some news like this. I rushed into the hospital room and Jahzara and I locked eyes with one another. She was sitting upright with her hands crossed over the front of her, smiling up at me.
“You’re here,” Jahzara said to me and held her hands out. I leaned down and hugged her and then sat next to her on the bed.
“What’s up? You okay?” I asked looking her over.
“Yea, I’ve never felt better. Are you okay?” she asked raising her brows.
“I’m good. I’m real good.”
“Imran, I have so much that I want to say to you-”
I cut her off, “Don’t worry about that right now. I’m here alright and I’m not going anywhere. We good, okay?”
Jahzara nodded her head as a single tear fell from her eye. I used my thumb to wipe it away and just stared at her. I don’t know why we had to go through all of what we had endured, but through all the hate, I still could see that this was the woman I loved. We had to go through our tests in order for us appreciate one another more.
I was gonna stop being mad at her for what Honey had done and for what Quin had done, and I was gonna stop being mad her for aborting my seed. I hoped that she could forgive me for allowing Rain back in my life because as much as I wanted to blame her for the bullshit and drama she had brought my way, I had brought her some as well when I allowed Rain back in.
Hopefully Rain would stay away and never come my way again.
We have another chance to focus on one another, and right now all I want is for her to get better so that she could get out of this hospital and we can start all the way over. I want to get to know Jahzara, not the stripper or the wanna-be drug dealer, but the real Jahzara. I want her to get to know me the same.
I can’t say that I’m gonna change my life around just yet cause I’m still young and hustlin’ isn’t something I’m ready to let go of yet. Even after all that shit that went down last night, I’m still itching to get my hands on some kind of work.
It’s like an addiction that I can’t seem to get over and honestly I’m not trying to. Whether I get my work from Tamar or get the fuck out of Dallas and go with somebody else, I’m gonna push some birds again. You can believe that.
