argue with her so I decided to let it go. Besides my mouth and face were too sore to continue to try and argue with her. I turned my attention to Sandra. “I guess, I will be staying.”
“Good.” She smiled patting me lightly on my foot. “We just want to make sure that everything is okay before we release you. I’d feel so horrible if we released you and then you went home and something happened to you that we could have prevented.”
I gave her a slight smile . “Thanks.”
“Oh no need to thank me, suga. I’m just doing my job.” She checked my vitals and then told me that she would be back a little later.
After she left Corey stood to leave. “I’m going to get out of here and go put my youngin’ to bed. I’ll see you in the morning baby.” He wrapped his free arm around Nelle, pulling her to him and then leaned down and kissed her. “I’m going to miss you being beside me tonight woman.”
“Awwww…I’m going to miss you too baby.” She kissed him again. “I’ll see you in the morning.” She kissed her daughter on her chubby cheek and told her she loved her.
Seeing the affection between her and Corey made me feel empty and depressed. I envied what they had together because I’d wanted that for so many years. I wondered why Mello and I couldn’t have that. Why did he have to be the way that he was? Why couldn’t he try harder to be a good man to me and a good father his daughter instead of being the abusive monster that he’d become? I eyed Nelle and Corey from where I lay in my bed. I couldn’t help but wonder what she had that made him so crazy over her.
“Alright you take it easy Mina.” Corey said glancing back at me as he was walking out of the room. “I hope that you feel better.”
“Thanks.” He left closing the door behind him. “Girl, you sure are lucky. You found a good one.” I told Nelle.
“Hmph…he wasn’t always like that.” She replied. “You remember all of the shit that I went through with him and that crazy bitch Amy.” She shook her head as she took her seat back next to the bed. “We have been through a lot but I will admit that it wasn’t all in vain. I think he and I both learned some very valuable lessons through it all. It definitely brought us closer and I think that it made us appreciate each other more.”
“Yeah…I wish that Mello would’ve learned something after all of these years and all of the shit that he has put me through.” A tear rolled down my cheek and I reached up and wiped it away. “I have tried my best to stick with him no matter how bad shit has gotten because I understand the pain that he has gone through and the pain that he is still dealing with but that hasn’t gotten me anywhere. It’s like he can’t see how much I love him or that I am here for him regardless of what. I’m not against him or out to hurt him…yet and still he’s constantly hurting me. I just don’t understand. Then when I finally get tired and walk away, this is the result. I just don’t know what to do!”
“First of all, calm down. Don’t get yourself all upset.” She replied sympathetically reaching over and wiping my tears. “You’ve done all that you could do for him. You’ve done too much if you ask me. Your only mistake was, you should’ve been left a long time ago and stopped feeling sorry for him. Yes, it’s sad the abuse that he suffered as a child but that is no excuse for him to turn right around and do that to you and his child! He has sense enough to know that he didn’t like having someone knock him upside the head and treat him like shit! So why do it to the people that he claims to love? I’ll tell you why because he has no idea what love is! He
