FALLING HARD 37
Third person point of view
In a modern hall, surround by slow music, flowers of all types were set in flower pots, which lay in a corner of the room. There were four sofas of dark blue; a woman sat in one.
Her blond hair fell over her slender shoulders, dressed in black pants and a yellow silky long-sleeve blouse, long earrings that looked like pearls glistening from her ears.
Her name was Regina. She sat knitting a small hole back together on her favorite tablecloth. Her legs crossed together and her forehead knit together in focus.
"Turn the music down, I can't focus in peace!"She barked in frustration."Damn it!"She said throwing the cloth down and coming up hard on her black heels.
She walked like a modeler and held her head. Anyone could say she did plastic surgery but she was all natural. She had taken good care of herself for the past years.
She walked over to the boom box and stop the music.
"But Aunt Regina you permitted us earlier, "Her ten-year-old niece said folding her arms.
"I changed my mind Brittney," she said because Brittney had brought over her three best friends. They were having a lively time, dancing, shouting, and playing and it was getting to her head.
"Go outside and play, "Regina said rubbing her throbbing forehead."God forgive me, lord, I wonder how I could ever manage with a newborn kid."
"You want some coffee, madam?"Her maid asked coming up with a tray.
"Thank you, love, you are amazing," She said taking the hot cup of coffee just the way she liked it. The maid smiled at her and return to the kitchen.
Has she started drinking she heard her phone go off and she smiled as she saw the person's name.
Babe
"Hey, thank god you called, I don't know what I'll do without you," She said sitting down with a sigh.
"Regina -Jess-Jess-she-"
"What happen Jack?don't fuck with me." Regina said, as her heart started to pain, worried shifted her nerves, and hot coffee splashed from the cup.
"She is going to the hospital," Jack said from the phone but that was what Regina heard because as soon as the word hospital escape his mouth, the coffee cup dropped from her hand and tea went splashing all over. Even burning her arm. The hot liquid burned her arm but it was like she wasn't feeling anything and she slowly move the phone from her ear.
An African maid; that Regina had hired to experience their culture, came rushing up as she rushed towards the kitchen. She pulled Regina towards the sink and wet her hand under the sink but Regina's face was like stone.
"Madam, what is it? Is there anything I can do ma? your face is white O,chaii! Imani! Imani? are your ears not working properly? Are you deaf? A beg hurry up and clean that thing, nonsense," said the maid, as she turned off the pipe.
Regina stood shaking, she had no idea how or what to think.
She hasn't seen her daughter since she so stubbornly moved out to rent that house. They had kept in touch over phone calls but she was distant. That was the reason why for over the past year she had been cooperating with her sister's children. She wanted to see if she could accept other kids before accepting her grandkids. She wanted to love kids the way Her daughter did so that way she could help her out at the childcare program.
Even after packages were returned and stored in the basement. she knew that Jessica lost her job she continue to try and it was going well until the loud music turns into a habit.
Just to hear her daughter is going to the hospital
"Ah ah, You are still standing? move Nah," The maid said referring to the other one that was looking at the coffee as if she had never seen spilled coffee and broken glass before.
" Mogi. I need to get to the hospital." Regina said, her voice barely audible.
"If I come back and see you still standing dey, na money we no get o, we no kill person. If you make me lose this job, chaii! you done fuck up o,"Mogi said holding her ears, and pointing at the ground." Idiot."
"Mogi, I won't fire you, just get me to the hospital please, get me my phone and my bag, hurry please."
"Okay, ma. Imani, I dey watch you, I got eyes behind my head o," Mogi said hurrying up the room and mumbling to herself.
"Don't worry about it dear, I'll do it, just go and call the gateman for Auntie," Brittney said since her friends have already left.
Meanwhile, Regina was trying not to pass out.
Trevor's point of view
I paced the hospital corridor and Jack paced near the door. He was breathless but he continue to move back and forth. He rushed off towards the door when he saw a woman running in yellow, with wet stains over her pants.
I watched them hug but she run pasted him.
"Where is she? what happened? somebody talk to me,"She said scratching her head and looking between Brie, Mom, and Mary that was sitting on the bench. Brie was crying and Mary was holding her. Mom's hand was shaking in her lop.
oh God help me
"Blood, Oh my god Blood, e-the blood-is on your shirt-is that my daughter blood-Jessica's blood?"She asked walking up to me and slowly touching my chest, gripping my shirt she screamed.
Blood came off her palms and she run towards Jack.
"Her blood Jack!"Her eyes were already bloodshot as she cried.
I Didn't even realize blood was on my shirt.
FLASHBACK
I watched as the car hit full force in the iron gate and it flicked over. I heard screams of terror filling the air but I was already running. My mom was holding me back but she didn't succeed, and for the second time in my life, I saw someone close to me lifeless body.
Every brain cell in my body seem to catch on fire, I saw more than millions of black spots in front of my vision as I fight to open the jamb door.
Darkness blacked my vision as I panicked I couldn't see a thing. I choked on my lungs for air, I begged for my sight to clear, and Then I was pulled away.
"Somebody talk to me, Jack talk to me!"I screamed I could feel tears rushing and I wasn't ashamed of them I just wanted to hear that she was alive.
"Jack!"I shouted as two strong arms hold on to me. I could feel by the bodies that it was Tarzan and Mary.
"Please tell me she is not dead," I said with weakness in my voice.
"She is not dead," Jack said, and my eyes cleared at that same moment, it was like my ears were waiting to hear those words. I was still panicking but I saw and that was what I wanted.
I watched as securities kicked and pulled and removed her from the car.
Blood leaked as they pulled her out and backed away.
I rushed up towards her and even though Mary and Tarzan tried to pull away Jack and me, I never leave her side.
Jack did though, he was wheezing and Mom had given him an asthma pump.
END FLASHBACK
Now there weren't any tears coming from my eyes, I was trying not to panic.
I stood paced waiting for news. Mom offered me coffee but I didn't want any. I pulled a cigarette and lit it.
"You can't smoke in here sir,"Security said and people looked at me. Patients passed and stared at my clothes.
I puff the cigarette out of spite.
"Sir, I'll have to call the," but he was interrupted.
"Just listen to him, Dragon," Jack said taking the cigarette from my hand and instead of putting it out he puffed it himself and I looked at him. Everyone looked at him.
"Old ma-"The security began.
"Man fuck off, you didn't see my daughter went in there?"Jack asked staring at him pointing at the surgery door and his wife looked up at him. She step away from him and sat next to Brie and Mary.
"He ain't go stop," She whispered.
"Get out sir, "The security guard said.
"Fuck off!"Jack said, jumping and pushing his arm between his legs, under him, he bend over and gave the security a middle finger. He stood up and puffed the cigarette."Fucking nonsense."
I couldn't help but laughed, not laughed I roared. I just couldn't stop. I laughed as the image replayed over and over in my head.
I gasped and pointed at the security face, whose face was now red from embarrassment.
Everyone was looking at me and Jack joined the laughter and it became more fun.
"You guys are getting off," Mary said.
The hospital door opens and Ricky and his Jersey lady walk in. That was when I stop laughing. It's like I was never laughing before.
"You motherfucking-"I started.
They left me in there under gunfire. I thought to myself although I was the one who tell him to leave. I haven't heard from him, even though Jack told me, that somehow me helping him, got his links to clear my name off the tv news.
"Now is not the time," Jack said and I stopped.
"Any family here for a Jessica Washington?" Everyone rushed up but Jack and I pushed passed them.
"Me," Jack and I said at the same time.
"One of you come with me, "said the doctor.
"You go," I said to Jack.
"No, you go."
"It's your daughter Jack, I'll understand if you go before me."
"We both are going."
"What about the rules?"I asked.
"Jessica did something to you because you don't give a fuck about the rules, lets go, a matter of fact everybody come on."
