Momo

After my shower, I moisturized my skin with my shea butter lotion and then put on a cotton red panties and bra set. Next, I dressed myself in black jeans and a plain white t-shirt, coated with a black hoodie. Lastly, I put on some old Nike running shoes and headed out the door.

I met Monique in the kitchen, she was doing well and out of the wheelchair, now she's using crutches. Monique was sitting at the island eating some leftovers of my lasagna.

"You do know, I saved that for Tyrone, right? It had his name on the top of the plate." I said grabbing a lunchbox from on top of the fridge.

Monique shruggered, taking more bites from her plate. "Tyrone wasn't there to stop me, so I took it." I chuckled, rolling my eyes at her stupidity. Her and Nunu never learn from their mistakes about taking people's food.

Filling up the lunchbox with fruits, a drink, a sandwich, and two pieces of chocolate, Tyrone walked in the kitchen and went straight to the fridge.

Uh oh, I know what's going to happen next and I don't wanna be here for when that happens. "Aye! Who took my food?!" He asked, turning into the hulk.

I picked up Zain's lunchbox and headed out the kitchen, "When y'all done fighting be at the hospital before 3." I said, going upstairs to get Zain.

Once my foot touched the first step the yelling and arguing began. Obnoxious.

Knock
Knock

I twisted the door knob to Zain's room and entered into his space. He was already dressed and was just finishing on dressing his brother. He looked at me then turned back to what he was doing.

I sighed, Zain's changed, he's not that scared, shy little boy I was introduced to. The times when he was so scared to speak up or even let people touch him, the times when his mom was his voice and shield.

Now he's more careless and blunt about what he say and do. So much is going on his head, from his mom being in the hospital to having to relive those past 5 months again at night.

He's scream the whole house up, yelling and begging for his tormentor to stop it. He'd always cry when it was time to leave the hospital, not wanting to leave his mom behind.

Wednesday night I tried to kiss him good night on his forehead but he quickly withdrew his head in anger. He was mad that I was about to kiss him on his forehead, he said 'no one kisses me there, only my mommy.'

Things just get worse for him as days go on, the load of toys that I bought him just can't fill up the void of where Nunu was. His cousins, aunts, and uncles can't even interact with him since he's always in his room.

I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say, fuck I don't even know what to give him that'll at least keep him happy until Nunu wakes up.

I moved to sit next to Ant, "Do you like it here?" Zain ignored me and went to grab Ant's diaper bag. He then looked at me, "We're ready to go." He said in a monotone voice.

2:45 P.M.

I met Tyrone, Monique, Unique, Jaja, and Travis at the hospital, in Nunu's room. Nik stayed home since he was doing research on Nunu's condition, hopefully he finds something.

Zain did the same thing that he'd always do when he'd come to see Nunu. First he'd get me to put Ant on one side of Nunu, then he'd climb on the bed and lay on the other side of Nunu.

All three of them would cuddle together, while Zain would speak to Nunu. Even though she doesn't talk back to him, he'd talk forever. It was a cute and innocent moment but it'd last for about 3 hours.

"Come on, we got Daniel's friends outside waiting to hear from us." Tyrone said, reminding everyone that we have to deal with unwanted guests.

We've declined their intentions for four days, but they just keep coming back. They're like little flies that don't wanna go away, they just constantly buzz in your ear.

Now we could just beat 'em up and leave but we are changed people. So as a kind citizen of the this trash ass country, I'll oblige by the law.

"We'll be back, Zain." I said to him and as usual he'd ignore me. I left the room and followed my siblings down the hallway and into an empty patient's room.

Two detectives stood in front of us. "We already told you our answer, I don't understand why you both keep coming back." Monique said annoyed.

The detective with tattoos all over his neck spoke first, "First, I'd like to say this is an important matter for you, your family's sake, and possible victims in the future. A simple conversation with Zain can prevent this possible threat."

I scoffed, they're not going no where near Zain. "No." I said and turned to walk out the room. "Zain can help us break the chains of Enzo's rooting gang. Enzo has influenced many and when word gets out that he's dead, they're gonna come for Zain and Janunu."

I turned around, not in interest but irritation. I'm irritated that they have the audacity to threaten my family, no one will hurt Nunu or Zain again.

"Your not talking to Zain, he doesn't have nothing to say to you."

The other detective, the one with black painted nails cleared his throat, "Ma'am, if you don't want this causality to happen again, I believe it's best if you let us speak to Zain."

Tyrone invaded his personal space, going nose to nose with the detective, "And I believe it's best if you leave us alone, it's obvious we don't wanna talk to you."

The tattooed detective placed a hand on Tyrone's chest, which in return he swatted it away from him. "Don't touch me, ion know whatchu got."

Ughh, "Let's go-"

"Let go of me!!!!" I heard Zain yell from outside. My feet moved on it's own and ran to Janunu's room, where an officer was trying to take Zain while Unique, Travis, and Jaja were on the floor groaning. Little Ant was still on the bed, hugging onto Nunu.

"Raise your hands in the air!" Someone else yelled to me, I turned to see another officer pointing his gun at me. Looking around for Ty and Monique, I saw them both also at gun point.

I can't believe these idiots are just gonna kidnap Zain, is this what they're teaching in these police academies?

"I apologize for this but we really need Zain in this investigation." The tattooed detective said before getting Zain out of the officer's hold, he placed the thrashing Zain on his shoulder and walked away.

"If you follow us, we won't hesitate to shoot you." The other detective said as he walked after his partner. The officers that were holding my siblings and I at gun point also went after them.

"No!! No! Mommy!"

"Mommy!!!!!"

"You can't-" I tried to say to the last officer who was turning to leave Nunu's room but hands came from behind him and snapped his neck.

Thud

I couldn't even finish my sentence, he dropped dead at my feet. My eyes saw bare feet standing near Nunu's bed so, I followed the limb up to its head and standing right in front of me was my little sister, Janunu.

My body froze in shock and joy, she's awake! Wait- she killed someone...

Nunu grabbed the dead officer's gun and walked out the room calmly, then one after the other. She shot the feds in the head but the detective holding her baby.

By now everyone in the hospital was running away from us, screaming in fear of possibly getting shot. "Mommy!!" Zain yelled out one more time before he kicked the tattooed detective's chest, just like how he did Nik.

I watched Zain jump off of his falling body and run to his mom. Nunu fell on her knees and embraced the happy child with open arms.

Cries from both Zain and Nunu filled the hallway, this is so beautiful.

Nunu

I am so fucking tired of this bullshit, leave my kid alone!! From now on, no one will come near him or his brother. I'll protect them with my life, something the useless idiots behind me can't do.

Pulling away from my hug, I lifted Zain's shirt up, looking for any recent injuries. My hands skimmed all over his back and stomach, touching to see if anything hurts.

Zain giggled, "Hahaha, that tickles." He said trying to pry my hands off of him. I smiled as he created music to calm my growing worry. I missed that, I missed this, now that I have it back I'm not letting this go..ever.

"Are you hurt?" I asked him. Zain shook his head no and touched my face with his hand. The familiar warmth I received from his small hand made me peaceful, "Are you hurt?"

"No..not anymore." I said with a big smile, then I stood up. Time to go, I'm leaving and I won't come back.

Turning around, I went back into my room for Zain's little brother. Walking past the frozen people at my doorway, one of them spoke to me as I picked up the crying baby that motioned grabby hands the moment it saw me.

"I'm sorry Nunu, it's my-" I shut Momo's sympathy speech down, "I don't wanna hear what you gotta say. Just leave me alone, you've all caused enough damage already." I said before walking out.

"Wait, where are you going?" Tyrone asked as he along with the others watched me leave.

"Away from you all."
