LOVE

Hassan didn’t know how better I wanted to be for him. When I looked into his eyes, I saw so much love and concern for me. It was something I hadn’t witnessed in a long time. From the moment I lost Kaydee, I became cold and pretty much nonexistent. I no longer valued my own life, so I threw it away.

“I’m not selling to no pregnant bitch. You fuckin’ that baby life up before it even gets here. That’s messed up shawty.”

“Just take the damn money. I… fuck!” A contraction hit me out of nowhere damaging my chances of getting anything from him.

“Nah, you ain’t getting nothing from me or anybody on this block. We ain’t about to contribute to killing a child. Get the fuck away from here and go to a damn hospital.” He tapped his partner and said, “Make sure y’all send her picture around. Tell everybody to cut her off.”

His crew nodded and followed suit behind him. I was back in search of my next hit. For a while, I was good and didn’t need to do much. I took every piece of jewelry I saw in sight and even money out of Hassan’s wallet while I was there. I came up a few bands and was good for what seemed like months.

I’d pawned everything and was able to get a room, also as much rock as I could afford. I was satisfied until I wasn’t. I was back down to my last few dollars and smoked up everything I’d bought. I was back to square one.

“What? Just take the damn money. It ain’t your kid to give a fuck about!” I yelled in their direction as I chased them down.

“Listen shawty, I know how hard life is for you, but don’t put whatever the fuck you going through on that baby. The most I can do for you is take you to the hospital, but I refuse to damage that child any further than what it already is.”

My hatred for niggas was at an all-time high. Why the fuck wouldn’t he just take the bread? It added to his pockets, and he was pushing product. I didn’t understand.

“Fuck… you!” I yelled in between breaths.

“Man, let me take you to the hospital. You’re in fuckin’ labor bruh.” He reached for my hand to help, and I swatted it away.

“Get the fuck away from me. All you can do is give me another rock and I’ll be good.”

“I can’t do that,” he argued.

He stood there while another contraction hit, and I reached for his shoulder. This one was stronger than the last and it seemed like they weren’t going to stop.

“The Uber will be here in seven minutes to take you to the hospital. Can you wait that long?”

I waited until the contraction stopped before I nodded. The pain was excruciating. I was very much in active labor and this baby wasn’t trying to slow down. I had no choice but to go to the hospital.
