Chapter 62: 57

NUNU

It's been two months since everything went down and I and Pop's mom are going to court for Bashar's trial.

And I really think he might be going to jail for attempted murder.

John is in the hospital trying to recover from his shot in the shoulder he's been there for the last few months it was pretty critical.

And me I'm just paranoid always paranoid I had to move out my apartment because for one I got kicked out and two it would've reminded me of that night.

I still can't believe I almost saw somebody die right in my living room where me and my baby was in.

So as of now I'm living with my mom until I can find an apartment or somewhere else to live.

I was thinking about the bottle girl job at this club but I think I'm pretty much done with working at clubs since it gets so problematic with other girls.

So I've made an appointment to an interview to be an assistant  at the local hospital it's a good paying job and it's not that many hours and I can even do I side job of doing hair as well.

Plus I don't have to go to school to be an assistant.

All I'm doing is cleaning up the rooms passing the tools and calling people that has appointments in.

So that's what I would be doing if I was to get the job.

"Ok mom we're about to leave" I said picking up Malaysia.

"Ok he's really lucky that you're even coming to his trial I feel so bad for Audrey" my mom said.

"Yeah but I'm only coming to support his mom and for him to see his child" I said.

"Ok well you be safe tell Audrey I said hello" She said as I started my way towards the door.

"Ok bye mom love you" I said walking out.

"You have everything?" Momma smoke asked as we pulled up to the court center

"Yeah, you think that they'll be ok with me bringing M in there?" I said taking her out her car seat.

"Yeah the shouldn't have a problem with it I seen it before" She said as I nodded.

We walked in and it was mad cold and I ain't even bring my jacket and now my nipples are cold and hard  all my bras was dirty and I didn't have enough time to wash them so I'm  just embarrassed so I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Jackson?" A lady with business clothes on said as she motioned us to follow her.

We sat in the court room waiting for Pop and I just held Malaysia in my arms as I rocked back and forth in the chair to make her stay calm.

Damn..I need to visit John in the hospital after this I promised I'll see him today.

I mean is that wrong for me to see John right after this?

I mean Pop and I are not even together but it just don't feel right.

I don't care I'm still going to see him afterwards.

I was damn near about to fall asleep until the judge slammed the gauntlet against the table making me jump hella hard.

"Will the people in the well of the courtroom please stand?" The judge said as we all did what we were demanded.

Pop walked in as we were told to sit back down.

"State your full name for the record" The judge said.

"Bashar Barakah Jackson" Pop said in a formal way.

I'm about to fall asleep.

And there are fucking cameras in here so you know they gone put it on YouTube and I do not like the attention at all.

I mean yeah people knew that we were together and serious but that's about it nobody knew about all the other crazy stuff that's been going on.

Watch this shit get trending on Twitter.

"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" The judge aske as Pop held his right hand up.

"On God-I mean I do I swear" Pop said making me mentally face palm myself.

"Act right boy," Momma smoke said under her breath shaking her head.

"Have you had any involvement with the criminal justice system before now?" the judge asked him.

"Yes, I have" Pop admitted.

"You are here for the attempted murder of Johnathan Lyndale Kirk? Is that correct?" The judge asked him.

"Yes, your honor" Pop said with a sigh.

"Would you like to explain to me what happend"The Judge asked.

" Well I was dropping off my daughter at her mothers apartment-"

"Where the crime took place correct?" The judge said.

"Yes your honor" Pop responded

"You may resume"

"Me and her we're having a conversation about my daughter and everything until one of her " flings" came over to get something that he left, "Pop said using air quotes.

"Air quotes? Why did you use them?" The judge asked?

"It's complicated between them that's all I'm going to say" He said.

Um sir this is your trial why are you being so shady right now.

He just doesn't give up.

"Please stick to the story sir" The judge said.

He went on and on with the questions and I fell asleep a couple of times I tried to stay up I swear I did.

"As of now I  declare  you Bashar Barakah Jackson...."

Guilty of attempted murder of Johnathan Lyndale Kirk 5 years of prison 7 months of probations.

"Consider yourself lucky you have good lawyers" The judge said.

"Whyy not now lord why!" Mama smoke said as she burst into tears as I rubbed her back trying to comfort her.

"Can I hug him?" I asked the judge.

"No you may not, court dismissed" he said slamming his gauntlet.

"Don't cry mama Imma be back I love you M. I love you too D imma marry you one day I swear I am" He said quickly trying to push past the officers as they holded him back

I didn't even know what to say everything was just so slow and felt unreal.

"If you need anybody to talk to Ma you can just call me ok" I said to momma smoke as she shook her head and wiped her face.

"I just can't believe that my baby is in jail I don't know what he would do in there lord knows he has a bad temper" Mama smoke said.

"It's going to be okay mama I promise" Xiarra said.

This really sucks like really sucks I can't see everybody like this.

"She's right ma, but I need to go I'll call you later to check up on you ok?" I said as she nodded.

"Would you like for me to leave Malaysia here with you?" I asked her.

"Yes please I would appreciate that a lot" she said.

"Ok  be good for granny M"I said walking out the door.

"Johns going to be pissed," I said as I put my car keys in the ignition and drove off to the hospital.

I walked in hurrying to the reception desk.

"I'm here to visit somebody" I said to her.

"Ok that's fine, Name?" She said.

"Johnathan Kirk?" I said.

"Ok" she said scrolling through her computer.

"Room 210" she said.

"Ok thank you" I said as I rushed to the elevator.

"I hope he ain't too mad at me" I said waiting on the elevator.

I finally made it to his room and knocked on it.

"Come in" I heard him say as I slowly opened the door.

"Where you been I was waiting for you" he said trying to sit up and I quickly went over to him and helped him up.

"I'm sorry I was busy today...I had to go to court" I said.

"For what the custody thing? But how aint-"

"It was for Bashar's sentence" I said lowly.

"Why are you there for? You could've been here with me" he said with furrow eyebrows.

"Because he's the father of my child and his mom wanted me to be there for support" I explained.

"He aint got no siblings or nothing that could've went" He said.

"John-"

"I mean what the fuck Nai how you except me to be sympathetic to a nigga that tried to kill me like be fucking logical" He said.

"Stop cursing at me please..and now that you've said it that way I can understand but I only came for my child and his mom that's it I don't care about Pop anymore I care about you" I said.

"I care about you too, so how long does he have in there" He asked."

"5 years and 7 months on probation with a low chance of parole" I said as John rolled his eyes.

"What?"

"Nigga straight tried to kill me bro in front of your child why does he have five years when any other nigga can get life" He ranted.

"I don't know John the judge did say he has really good lawyers so consider yourself lucky so that's probably why I don't make up the rules babe" I said to him.

"What if he sends me letters" I asked him.

"He better be only sending them to talk about y'all doctor he can keep his lil line song and letters to himself" He said as I chuckled.

"I'm serious" He said.

"You have every right to be I'm just bummed out for my daughter she probably wouldn't see him again until she's five I don't want her to forget about him" I said.

"I can get that I was scared for my daughters future too when I got shot I really thought I was gonna die like formal Nai" He said as I rubbed his face.

"I thought about that too" I said.

"Speaking of daughters I really want them to meet of course when Laysia gets older"He said.

"Yeah that's fine by me as long as your BM dosen't have a problem with it I'm cool I just don't want no drama" I said.

"Are you mad at me that I came here a lil late?" I asked him.

"Mad? No I was just inpatient because I've been in this hospital for so long" he said.

"And you didn't even give me a time so I couldn't been madneven if I wanted to" he said

"Ok good because I was about to go into cardiac arrest from rushing and running to get here" I said as we both shared a laugh.
