DREKA

I wasn’t even ten minutes away when Mina texted me saying Kyra was going in labor.

I started not to go because I knew Keem and his new boo would be there, but fuck them they were now a distant memory.

I just couldn’t believe how he had taken up for her though that’s probably what made me so damn mad.

He had really defended that bitch in my face like I was nothing and for that alone I knew he and I were done.

“Where’s my damn sister?” I asked soon as I made it to the hospital.

“Girl calm your ass down everyone in here already under enough pressure we don’t need you coming in here starting shit. Keem and Nik are now together, so you either get over it or keep pushing.”

For the first time in a long time I eyes glistening up, but I held back all of my tears.

I couldn’t believe Cash of all people just wanted me to except the fact that his brother left his family for one of my friends.

What part of that is alright? But I was about to respect his wishes and keep pushing; he was right I couldn’t handle it so there was no need for me to be around it.

“Tell my sister I love her. Go give you dad a hug Ryder.”

Man I took care of everyone like I was the mama I looked out for them; I held everything around us down. I risked my fucking life just get them their money back and this is how they repay me. Boy its crazy how God work, but he always separates the real from the fake.

Once Ryder hugged his dad we left; I knew they would come home thinking they would see us. But me and my baby were about to go and say fuck everyone. I would be sure to call and check on Kyra, but for now I wanted to only focus on myself. I walked out that hospital and out they life.
