All Out

It was about ten in the morning and Nicki had finally sobered up. She was sat in a chair staring at what she had done to her husband and regretted every second of drinking, believing Lauren and hitting him. He had pulled through successfully, but they had him on lots of pain killers to keep him from feeling the pain of his brain being swollen. Candi walked in with Aiydan in her arms, still crying. He had cried the entire night and day. Nothing was stopping him, but his need to catch his breath and his lungs needing to rest, but he whimpered through that. He felt the bad environment and wouldn't even go to Nicki which hurt her. She stared over at him still crying and pulling at his curly locks. She stood up and held her hands out to him, but he turned in Candi's chest and cried louder.

"Hand him here."

"Okay."

Candi pried from his grip and placed him in Nic's arms. He screamed out as she stared down into his face then laid him on SB's chest and he instantly shut up. His small hands gripped his gown and balled up some more. Candi sighed then followed behind Nicki as she rushed out the room crying. My kids hate me. She breathed in and out rapidly as her thoughts rambled in her mind.

"Nicki, calm down."

"How? I nearly killed my husband!"

"You were..."

"That's NO EXCUSE! I love him and I let a no good friend...."

She began to sob uncontrollably as she thought about the voice message. She remembered it like she had left it herself. Everything felt like it had stopped and as if everything she had was leaving her. She wiped at her eyes as she heard a deep voice call her name. Candi stood up and shook her head no as the man approached them.

"Please, no... Don't do this."

"Until Mr. Samuels wakes up and tells us differently then she has to come with us."

"She didn't mean it, He wouldn't want her there!"

"Candi, I'll be fine... When he wakes up tell him I'm sorry and I love him."

"Nicki..."

Nicki hugged her friend tightly and pecked her jaw. She put her hands behind her back and let the officers hand cuff her. Nicki put her head down as the hospital felt like all eyes on her at the moment. She sighed then let the tears roll down her face. I fucked up.

Safaree was waken up two days later. He stretched then clutched the small bundle on his chest before it fell. He smirked a bit as Aiydan's bright black eyes looked up at him. He jumped a little at the sound of his Mother's voice.

"Faree, you're up. How do you feel?"

"Alright, where's Macy and Nicki?"

"I'm here Daddy!"

"Come up here."

"Um, we'll talk about where Nicki is in an hour."

"Um okay."

He smiled at Macy getting close to his face and smiling like her mother. He rubbed her jaw then pulled her close. His mother rubbed his swollen jaw and sighed sadly.

"I can't believe she did this to you."

"Me either. Can we..."

"Safaree, are you pressing charges on her?"

"No, that's my wife!"

"Faree, the side of you..."

"It will go back to normal and so will we. Just let me handle our business."

"Okay."

She said defeated sitting on a chair in the room. He stared straight ahead into the blank TV and thought about Nicki.

~~~~~~

"Let me out of here."

"Safaree."

"Yawl let her sit in a fucking jail cell for two days!"

He shouted snatching the IV out of his arm. He looked around for his shoes and groaned loudly not finding them. Fuck em.

"Where are my keys?"

"You.."

"GIVE ME MY FUCKING KEYS NOW!"

Sonya pulled out his keys, but quickly snatched them back from him. He crossed his arms and huffed loudly as he became increasingly pissed. She playing fucking games, I need my wife.

"I'm driving. Get on your clothes."

She pointed him to the closet then walked out the room to let him get dressed. He quickly got on his clothes and followed behind her.

~~~~~~

It was cold in the jail house as they were escorted to the prisoners' visitors room. His heart began to ache as he heard the guard yelling out the prisoners names. I got to get her out of here now. He thought as he heard her name called. She appeared with her head down and her hair in long cornrows down her back. She looked up and began to cry when she saw him standing there with his sister.

"Hurry and let her out those cuffs."

"Sir, calm down."

"Please.."

"Faree, she's not going anywhere."

He stepped around the table and pulled her body into a tight hug as soon as the cuffs were off. He felt her tears on his shoulder as he held her up and kissed her cheek repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Faree. I was..."

"Shhh, I'm coming back to get you."

"I deserve...."

"No you don't!"

He kissed her before she could speak again. He placed her on the table and met with her eye to eye and spoke while looking over her beautiful drained face. Jail wasn't for his baby and he hated to see her like this.

"Neeq, go to the bank and draw 100K and put it on Nic's bail I'm staying here."

"You sure?"

"Get the money!"

He shouted becoming pissed all over again. This my wife and I'm not leaving her in this place. I don't know why they left her in here anyways. Stupid ass females. He thought before sitting in the chair between her legs.

"I do need to tell you something..... I should've been told you."

"Yeah."

"Lauren wasn't lying when she said I was still in the Game, but it was only a month after I got the money back from Brim and Monique. She was the reason I completely stop messing with that shit... Cause I found her in a dope house with my friend getting high with the same needle and getting fucked like she was just a hoe. When I tried to....."

"What? What you do?"

"Help her get out of there. She put the same needle in my back. I went and got tested... that's why I wouldn't touch you those four months. I wanted to make sure I never gave it to you."

She wrapped her arms around his neck. They sat eye to eye holding each others face as they whispered and exchanged kisses back and forth.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Bout?"

"Lauren?"

"That's yo home girl and she asked me not to... That she'd tell you on her own, but I..."

"I'm sorry and don't you ever lie to me again!"

"I won't, but I never lied.. You didn't ask."

"Safaree, don't get smart."

"Alright, Alright."

"Mrs. Samuels, you're free to go. Your clothes are waiting for at pick up."

Safaree helped her off the table and followed behind the guard to the pick up room. She gripped his hand as he pulled back a little seeing C Boy and the boys there.

"Boss, we told you.. We always got you."

He dapped him up with his friend hand then nodded towards the door where his sister came rushing in out of breath. She held her hand up and heaved in and out as she tried catching her breath.

"Lauren, she... She has Macy inside of the hospital room and won't let her out unless she speaks to you guys."

"What?"

"We offing this bitch, Boss?"

He greeted his teeth wanting to agree, but she had some power and that's still his wife's friend. Nicki yanked on his shirt and pulled him out of his trance. She started up at him with her eyes big black and glossy. She searched his face as he did the same to her.

"Lets go. C Boy, I'll call if I need you. Stay low nigga."

"Eat boy and cream that face, we got to keep looking good for the ladies."

He jokes getting the dead face from Nicki. They all got into two different cars and went different directions. C Boy made a few calls anyways to his lady entourage and Neeq sped them to the hospital to see only the beginning of Lauren's madness.
