CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR - THE BEST PART.
AALIYAH
ABOUT TWO YEARS BACK
My eyes were hardly opened as my consciousness battled with the sedation. I was put to rest while a series of tests were conducted by my doctor, most of which i was already familiar with.
My breathing was assisted with the oxygen mask, and i was almost intubated due to my shallow breath and blocked airways. And soon i was changed into those blue gowns and a hospital scarf around my head as i stared up at the ceiling—
—after which my eyes navigated around the room to find Leroy and-
Dele?
Could he just stop showing up for me? I muttered in my mind. He was the ceo of his firm and that explained how he's always not at work. But still—

JACQUELINEI walked out of the exit and unto the stairway, i pulled up my mask, finally heaving a breath of fresh air as i my elbows rested on the staircase.I heard the sound of the door, knowing who must have followed me from behind. I got a side profile of her as she also, clung to the railings with a sigh.“You know, Dele’s awake” She heaved and i remained quiet, still as the winds that breezed from the open center top of the hospital into my face.“Yes, yes i know” I finally replied.“Jacqueline, i don’t what’s up but i don’t want to be the first to judge or anything. I know it’s about this covid and this scenario is a lot more familiar to you than anyone else. But Aal isn’t going to die”“Not yet” She rephrased. And i sighed. “It seems like i’m the only one that sees this” I answe

WUJust breathe.“Jade” I answered the call, even though we were just a distance from each other. “Jade” I said, again.And she heaved a deep breath before saying into the speaker, what had sent a cold chill up in my spine. I turned around to Jacq, who from my ghastly eyes had gotten the message and i was left with the echo.“It’s time” She said. “The Serpents said it’s time”JACQUELINESlipping my hands through the blue gown, i heaved a deep breath. It all was in slow motion as i wore on the hat, the mask and the shield. All precautions and protocols to see Dele and Aal.Deep down I might think I wasn’t even ready to see my best friend lifeless and connected to a vent with an oxygen mask on her face and dependent on all the machines to live.I walked closely behind the doctor as he led me

WU"Look who it is, i thought you'd never come back" Fox gritted through his teeth, not bothering to look back at us, heavily surrounded by his guards. I gazed to the grounds and the table surface that was messed with powder and drugs and the walls.You might have asked why we didn't call the police or choose the easier way out, but looking at this, the police wouldn't want to care who was involved or not. It was my building now, and i was apart of it, i dealt in it whether i liked it or not. I couldn't risk going to jail for that."You know a little birdy came to me" He finally made an effort to turn around with a knife in his hands. I jerked immediately, moving closer to Jade and he chuckled, staring right in her eyes."I just hope it isn't true" He sang softly as he moved closer to Jade, his fingertips rubbing softly against the tip of the sharp knife that it grazed into his skin. He bled, but he didn't care.

WUThe phone rang against the floor and i was far from it. I was even far from Jade but we were laying on the ground, opposite each other. I groaned as i stretched out my arms.Our voices were overshadowed by the sirens and the thunderous shots from a gun. Jade could barely move, she couldn't blink. She just stared as blood gushed from her lips."Jade" I muttered."Jade""Wu" She whimpered. "Wu, i'm here""I think the serpent's are here. And the police" I said to her as someone briskly jumped over us. It wasn't Fox, he had escaped but the guards as they succumbed to hide the rest of the drugs."Just hang on, Jade" I stared at the pool of blood she was in. "Just hang on" Came a shivering whisper from my lips as i pulled back my arms."Wu. I think they got you" She said."You're bleeding too. This is your blood" I blinked, as a soft g

MARIA“She’s sick, Mar”She shortened my name in a whisper as i held myself against the kitchen counter. I felt strength depart from my hands, i closed my eyes.“She’s really sick” Went on echoing in my head as that was one of my biggest fears, the first of which was not having to see her before she dies.But everything began to seem alot realer. Not just the type of health scares she had or something that had to do with her meds. It was covid, and it was a whole lot serious that we doubted she’ll make it.“You might need to come back home, sooner” That was what prompted that statement and we both understood. I immediately felt the presence of my mother trailing behind me before i opened them.“What about Wu? How’s she doing with everything?” I asked, not bothering to look b

MARIAI folded the shirts neatly in my hands before slipping into the luggage that was halfway packed. Just this one, i had the other three by the door.A gazzilion thoughts ravaged through my mind. Thoughts from the time in which i first left Miami to get back to Mexico. The thoughts reminded of how i walked down the airports and into the arms of my mother and my two boys, then i didn’t even have any intention of returning back. But i hadn’t known—It was on pressing into the bag, that i noticed something sticking out. Something hard and it was my passport and my green card. I picked it up, knowing i hadn’t even seen it after that time. After when i was released from being locked up by ICE.The thoughts went far beyond shallow and through all of the shit i had been, i and the girls. And Aal and for a moment, i was scared that this was going to be it. The sequence—

MARIA“Remission”I felt the weight that clung to my heart slowly drop and my eyes twinkled with tears. My lips quivered as i couldn’t bear to say the words.And even though i didn’t even know what it meant, i knew it had to better, than the tumor was progressing, or the normal, i’m sorry. Or you might need to come to the hospital. It was unbelievable.“Ma. It’s in remission” I screamed over the top of my voice as my mother neared both Rafael, who i knew couldn’t understand what was going on, and I.“What does that even mean?” My mother asked. “It means it’s almost gone. I’m healing” I whispered.“I’m healing” I repeated, but this time to myself. And Mateo, who had heard the yelling, walked in as i groped
