CHAPTER 8

CASS

“Ma’am, your blood pressure is extremely high. Is it always like this?”

“No,” I said softly.

The past week had been hell. I’d been extremely miserable. Shylou and I were like strangers now. He didn’t want shit to do with me, like I had no right to blowup about what I saw. I was angry that he was even dumb enough to put himself in that situation. Why would he think it was okay to be in the office alone with any of those bitches? Especially being that he knew April and Janessa were feeling him. I wasn’t the villain. He’d completely shut me out, and I was depressed as hell.

I felt so fucking alone, and I wished I would have stayed in Nome like I originally planned. At this point, I was even hating the fact that I was pregnant. I didn’t want to have his baby anymore. I felt like that was the only reason he hadn’t taken me back to Kenny and Keisha’s house. For a whole week, two nurses and Mama Lou had been tending to me.

Shylou checked on me once in the evening, asking how I was feeling. Every day my answer was, fine. I didn’t elaborate. I’d apologized, and he was being a jackass for not understanding how or why I would believe such a thing.

Being here alone for most of the day was taking a toll on me. My vibrant personality and slick-ass mouth were gone. My shoulder was feeling better, but I was still in a sling. This life was torture. Not having anybody around that gave a shit was wearing me down. I’d always considered myself strong, but it felt like I was in solitary confinement. Walking on my leg, I just knew I was gonna fuck it up, but nobody could handle helping me like Shylou could.

He was sitting here with me at the doctor’s office, but we hadn’t said two words to each other, and that wasn’t even an exaggeration. “Your blood pressure is 178 over 118. We are going to have to hospitalize you, Ms. Hendricks. After we do an ultrasound to check the baby, we’ll get you admitted into Texas Women’s Hospital.”

I nodded as Shylou rubbed his hand down his face, like I was a burden to him. “I’ll call Keisha to get my things brought to Nome. When I get out the hospital, I’m leaving,” I said softly.

“Quit being dramatic, Cass.”

“Fuck you.”

I grabbed my phone and sent Keisha a text, and she promised to get everything handled for me. All I fucking had at his place were clothes and minor shit anyway. I was better off at the hospital than staying with him. He was probably the reason my blood pressure was high. He was sitting there, staring at me like I wasn’t shit.

I closed my eyes just so I wouldn’t have to look at his ass. When the nurse came back in, she had a wheelchair to bring me to the ultrasound room. Shylou stood to help me from the small bed, but I slid out of it myself, onto my good leg.
