doctor ok?” I turned to leave but he grabbed my
arm forcefully. “No...no.” He barely got out. I tried to pull away
from him but his grip was to firm. “Tell me what happened.” He
demanded. I shook in fear, those once gentle eyes looked deranged
and crazy now and I wanted to get away.
    “ I don’t know…just let me
get the doctor.”
    “ No…you know…tell
me.”
    Damn it Destiny, I thought. Why the hell
didn’t you just go home? Now I’m stuck here with this crazy
man. “Look I saw your car had run off the
road and I went to help you that’s it …now please.” I tried to pull
away but he would not release me. “Did you see them…Did you see?” I
looked at him confusingly. “They were there…they were all around
me…I know you know…I know you saw them, tell me?” He looked scared
out of his mind but there was nothing I could do to comfort
him.
    “ I don’t know what you’re
talking about?”
    “ They were after me… they
were there…” He went on.
    “ Did you see? Did you see
them?”
    Ok...I can’t do this
anymore…I got to get out of here. “Doctor….somebody help!” I screamed. Nurses and doctors all
came running into the room and helped me get out of his grasp.
“No…she knows…she saw… no.” He yelled like a mad man as they tried
to sedate him. “Calm down Mr. Lyfe. We are here to help you.” The
doctor tried to calm him down…to no avail. I could do nothing but
just watch in disbelief. The doctors placed restraints on his arms
to keep him from moving. “No damn it…she knows…don’t leave please…”
I couldn’t handle this anymore, I ran out of the room and out the
sealed doors to the parking lot. I didn’t stop until I reached my
car, unlocked the doors and sat there. I tried to calm my breathing
in this moment of panic. I was shaking so bad it was hard to get my
key into the ignition. I didn’t notice the tears streaming down my
face; I didn’t even know why I was crying. I pulled out of the
parking lot and headed back into the city. All I wanted was to go
home and never think about this night again. I drove for over
nearly fifteen minutes and Derrick Lyfe’s face continued to stay
stuck in my mind…I didn’t know if there was any forgetting about
him.

    Derrick
    “Ok just be easy…take your
time.” The nurse instructed me. It had been a week since the
accident and I was still stuck in the hospital. “Got Damn…” I
grumbled sitting back down on my bed. I had been attempting to move
around more but many of my muscles had been torn making my body
feel crippled. “You really need to watch that pouty mouth of
yours.” Nurse Joy scolded me as she got my lunch pre pared. She was
a regal older black lady who worked double shifts in the hospital
to take care of her grand kids. Nurse Joy had been helping me
recover from the accident ever since I had been awake. She fixed my
foods, helped me walk, and just kept me company when she sensed I
was lonely. It was easy for me to be comfortable around her because
she reminded me so much of my grandmother, always putting other
people’s needs before her own. I looked down at my beat up body, I
had a few cuts and scrapes but most of the damage was internal.
Given another week I should be good to go. “You in pain boy? You
need some medication?” Nurse Joy asked looking at me
concerned.
    I strained a little to sit
up on the side of the bed. “No…I’m good.” She shook her head at me,
took seat and started to knit. “Derrick aint no time to try and be
superman…you need some serious care right now…that accident was
bad.” You don’t know the half of
it , I thought. I couldn’t believe I was out
of five million dollars. “Got damn.” I mumbled. All that work I put in and nothing…shit. I had been reflecting back on the accident ever since I woke
up. I still couldn’t understand how it happened in the first place.
I knew for a fact I saw something in front of me and I swerved out
of the way, but they
