π§ Blame It On The Pain FIFTY NINE:
(Alyssa)
I hear shouting somewhere in the distance but Iβm unable to move.
Iβm so cold. My head feels like itβs submerged underwater and Iβm floating. Thereβs pressure on my chest and chills are raking up and down my spine.
βDid she have anything to drink?β I hear Jacksonβs voice growl.
Thereβs mumbling in the distance.
βNo, Iβm not talking about alcohol, Momma,β Jackson says. βShe doesnβt drink alcohol. Iβm talking about a regular drink. Water? Juice?β
βI think she had some water,β Ricardo says. βIβm not sure, though. We were all paying attention to Momma.β
βWell did she leave her cup anywhere? Fk, maybe someone slipped something into her drink,β Jackson barks.
I hear some shuffling before I have the feeling of being lifted in the air.
Which only does wonders for the feeling of floating that I have. The chills are getting worse and my body is breaking out in a sweat.
My eyes flutter open, but the weight on my chest feels like itβs made out of bricks.
βI swear to god. If any of you slipped anything in my girls drink,β Jackson shouts, addressing the entire bar. βI will find you and youβll need a good plastic surgeon by the time Iβm through with you.β
βWe need to get her to the hospital, Jackson,β Momma shouts. βSheβs shaking like a leaf. I think sheβs sick!β
βWhat do you mean sick? She was fine this morning and five minutes ago. Sheβs not sick. Someone shithead did something to her,β Jackson roars.
βWait a minute, Jackson. Think about it, she did run to our apartment last night in the pouring ice cold rain, wearing nothing but a pair of pajamas. Itβs still winter outside, she must have been freezing,β Tyrone says, worry in his tone.
βSht. Thatβs right. I shouldβve been paying better attention to her and warmed her up sooner.β
I soon feel a wet cloth on my head courtesy of Momma. βYeah, sheβs burning up. She feels feverish.
I donβt think no one slipped anything in her drink, Jackson. But we better take her to the hospital just to be sure.β
She runs her hand through my hair. βItβs alright, Alyssa. Mommaβs not gonna leave your side. Iβm right here, sugar.β
I want to speak, tell her how thankful I am for her, but this feeling is only getting worse. The chills are so bad I feel like Iβm going to drop right out of Jacksonβs arms.
Jackson peers down at me. βRest if you need to. Iβve got you. Everything will be okay, baby.β
BLAME IT ON THE PAIN : EPISODE 51 β 60
Two hours later, the doctors eyes appraise me over a pair of glasses. He flips open his tablet and scans the rest of the small hospital room, his eyes fall on the three huge men taking up most of the space.
In other words, Jackson, Tyrone, and Ricardo. In addition to Momma, who hasnβt stopped holding my hand the entire time.
He clears his throat. βAre all these people members of your immediate family, young lady?β Before I can open my mouth, Momma and Jackson shout, βYes! Now tell us whatβs wrong.β
The doctorβs lips twitch. βI see,β he says before focusing back on his tablet. βWell, my dear, it seems that you have a touch of bronchitis, a touch of an ear infection, and the beginning stages of what looks to be walking pneumonia.β
βJesus,β Jackson says while sitting up in his chair. βIs she going to be okay?β
The doctor waves his hand. βSheβll be fine. She collapsed because the ear infection threw off her equilibrium, her chest hurts because of the bronchitis, and she has chills because of the pneumonia.
Luckily, we caught the pneumonia in the beginning stages. A course of antibiotics will clear everything up.β
The doctor pauses and fixes his eyes on me again. βYoung lady, might I suggest that you donβt go for a jog again in the middle of the night wearing nothing but pajamas while there is ice and rain falling from the sky during the first week of March.β
βThanks, Tyrone,β I mutter.
He holds up his hands. βDonβt βthanks Tyroneβ me. If you donβt tell the doctor everything, how is he supposed to be able to diagnose and treat you properly?β
I roll my eyes and turn my attention back to the doctor. βSo can I go home?β
He shakes his head. βYes, but not right now. I want to get some fluids in you first. The nurse should be in soon to start an IV. You can go home in the next couple of hours.β He looks at Momma. βBut I do want to ensure that she has someone to take care of her for the next few days.
I donβt want her collapsing again.β He looks back at his tablet and makes a face. βI see that your address is the same address as the bar called βFinnleyβsβ.β
I wonder how he knows that my apartment is at a bar, but before I can ask he says, βMy sonβs a musician who frequents the bar. Heβs also dating the owner, Shane. Nice guy.β
I give him a smile. βThat he is.β
Momma stands up. βDonβt worry, Doctor. I will see to it that she gets the very best care.β
She turns to Jackson. βAnd she wonβt be staying at no bar. Sheβll be coming back to the apartment with us.β
I open my mouth to protest, but Jackson cuts me off by saying, βYes, of course. And you wonβt be the one taking care of her, Momma. I will.β
Momma smiles and says, βWell, Iβm helping. No one makes soup for the soul like I do.β
βItβs true,β Tyrone says. βMomma makes the best chicken soup in the world.β
With that, the doctor nods. β Looks like youβll be in good hands. Hereβs your prescription.
But the nurse will be here in a few moments. Sheβll give you your first dose of antibiotics and sheβll start your IV. After that, youβre free to go. Take care.β
I take my prescription and thank him.
