Chapter 21: Chapter 21

How dare she come and ask about my baby girl? Where was she when Kayla craved for her mom? Where was she when I needed help? Where was she when we needed her the most? And now she thinks she can drag herself from nowhere and ask of my baby? No way, no fucking way! Reign thought to himself as he stabbed his food harshly.

"You okay baby?" Brittana asked.

"No, I'd talk to you later and the name still remains Reign." He said coldly walking out.

"Hey man!" Zaid called running after him with Sean and Xavier in tow.

Reign stopped as his friends caught up with him.

"You guys up for a cup of coffee?" He asked.

"Of course." They nodded as they walked with him to the coffee shop.

They placed their order as soon as they got a table.

"You don't look happy, you alright?" Xavier asked.

"Marcy's here." He said as his fists clenched.

"What!" Sean exclaimed.

"What does she want?" Zaid asked his best friend.

"Apparently, the bitch schools here and she had the nerves to ask of my daughter." He added as he rubbed his temple.

"Seriously, after all, she did and said no matter how much we pleaded?" Zaid spat recalling the incident.

"Yes." Reign said calming down as he took a sip of his cappuccino.

"The nerve!" Xavier added as they caught up with old times. They never asked him anything concerning Narcia. They didn't want him to get angrier than he already was.

Courtney sat at her desk remembering what her parents had told her. She was in no doubt that she stole their money. But she did that to save her life and that of her baby sister. She couldn't allow herself and her sister to grow up in the footsteps of her parents.

They just wanted a way to stress our lives and they've found one. They want their money, I'd pay it but theirs no way I'm going to pay it more than once. They can go to hell! Courtney pondered as she continued with her work.

It was much more important than thinking of those people who called themselves her parents.

Narcia and Anya decided to take a walk just to relax their nerves. They were both fighting demons on their own. The time was 8:00 pm when they left their apartment. Zaid wanted to follow but they disagreed so he had to stay back.

"How I wish I never got to see them," Anya said after a while.

"Hey, its fine don't stress yourself too much about it. We've all got your back. You have friends who cherish you, a sister who loves you to the moon and back, a brother-in-law who adores you and a husband who loves and cares for you. So relax and don't stress too much." She told her.

"Thanks, Narcia, your the best friend one could ask for," Anya added smiling.

"How I wish I had a boyfriend who loves me and not one who leaves without explaining himself." She added.

They had walked around the park for a while and decided to head back since it was getting darker.

"Don't worry, you'd get a man you who love and cherish you, just you wait. After all, we're left with a year more to be done with college." Anya stated.

The girls heard footsteps behind them and hurried their footsteps getting scared.

The person's footsteps were faster and before they could scream, a baseball bat was used to hit Narcia in her head and Anya on her arms and neck knocking them out.

Blood oozed out of Narcia's head like a water fountain. The last they saw before blacking out was a bunch of people talking.

Sean was part of the people who saw them unconscious on the ground. They hadn't seen the person who had done that to them.

An ambulance was called as soon as possible as he hurried to the apartment to report the incidence to his friends.

Zaid drove to the hospital like a maniac despite his friends yelling of him to slow down. The love of life and best friend were in the hospital battling for their lives.

As soon as they reached the hospital, he parked and then jumped out of the car rushing into the hospital and leaving his friends behind. Sean locked the car while holding a sobbing Zhavia and the Xavier took the lead with a devastated Myra.

They spotted Zaid talking to a doctor as they approached him.

"What did she say?" Myra managed to ask.

"She said they're still unconscious but Anya is doing better than Narcia." He added as Myra slipped onto the floor and let out a sob.

Zhavia cried into Sean's chest as he held her tight. Zaid's head was into his hands as tears trickled down his face.

Why were all these happening to them? He asked himself. Everything was fine before, what happened? He pondered as he punched the wall letting out a cry.
