Page 51 of He Thugged Me First

“Why didn’t you come get me, Mazzi?” She looked like she’d been crying.

“Baby I was here to get you, where did you go?” I asked hoping she remembered anything.

“He said you told him to come get me, he was…”

“He who, Mel?” I asked, attempting to keep it soft with her.

She couldn’t respond because before I knew it I heard Mecca’s loud voice behind me.

“Nah fuck that, one of you bitches better get like dude from that movie. Find my fucking sis—” She didn’t finish the sentence because she rushed over and pulled Mel into her arms.

“What the fuck?” She asked, looking around.

Something didn’t look right about her, she did look sick. She looked pale and like the color had drained from her face. The moment I was about to ask, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell back. I was close to her, so before she hit the ground, I caught her.

“Mazzi, what’s wrong with Mecca?” Mel’s small voice prompted me to look at her as I was not holding mecca bridal style.

I couldn’t give her an answer because I didn’t even know. “C’mon Mel.” I rushed toward my truck which was still double parked in the streets. I didn’t plan on being in the school for as long as I was. I popped the locks, and opened the door putting Mecca in the back seat before I put Mel in as well.

The moment I was in the car I sped away from the spot in the direction of the hospital.

“Why are you driving like a bat out of hell?” Mecca’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.

“Because ya ass passed out. Just lay back, we're going to the hospital.”

“I toldyou I was fine Mazzier.” Mecca spat as the nurse took her blood pressure.

“Hell nah, you passed out. We need to make sure ain’t nothing else going on.” I cut my eyes at Mel who was busy playing the game on my phone instead of paying attention to us.

“Ms. Carson are you?—”

“Yes, I just found out.” Mecca looked at the nurse as if she knew what she was about to ask.

“Just found out what?” I asked. I knew it wasn’t what I thought it was. Mecca didn’t want kids.

My sister glanced at me then back at the nurse.

“I’ll have the on-call OB come and check you out.” The nurse exited the room.

I looked at Mecca through wide eyes. Now I knew what the fuck that meant, so she should’ve been telling me something here.

“Stop looking at me with your big ass eyes. Yes, I’m pregnant. I just found out and I haven’t told Kasair.” She snapped in my direction.

I didn’t even have a response. I was speechless at this point. I just stood to my feet and looked her over. I could tell she thought I was about to lecture her.

“Say something Mazz, damn. I know you’re about to?—”

Her words were halted by me kissing her forehead. She was grown and she had this. “You good, just know I ain’t on the babysitting kick.”

She laughed. “Now that my laundry is out, we’re here so why don’t you go?—”

“What am I going to say to her?” I shook my head and stood up straight. I knew I had fucked up with Gauze, probably more than I could fix but I wasn’t in the mindset to fix it. I had other shit on my plate. “That ain’t important. Have you talked to Kasair?”

“No, his phone went to voicemail when I called him earlier.” She shrugged. I could tell she was worried about him. Sheshouldn’t have been, though. he was smart and wouldn’t out himself in a stupid position.

“Mazzi who is Miles?” Mel’s voice interrupted me before I got too deep in my thoughts.

I glanced over at her, before back at Mecca. “I don’t know, baby girl. You tell me.”
