Elijah POV

Jaelynn was suppose to come out of the hospital tonight. She's been an emotional wreck since finding out about the miscarriage. She keeps blaming herself for the reason it happened. I don't necessarily blame her. More of the blame goes to Alexis.

Speaking of Alexis. I'm right across the street from her house. Just sitting in my car trying to find logic in what I'm about to do. Killing an innocent life should be enough reasoning. Alexis hasn't left her home at all yet.

Which was a little odd. But whatever she needs to be dealt with already. She crossed the line when she came to Jaelynn party uninvited and starting problems.

Getting out my car I slowly walked on over to her home. Her car in the drive way so I know she's home. Knocking on the door as hard as I can. She didn't answer. I put my ear close to the door to see if I heard any movement. Nothing.

Knocking on the door once again. Maybe she was in the back and couldn't hear the door. Again, nothing. Where the hell is she?. I should probably leave but I couldn't help but to see if the door was open. Of course it would be open.

Slowly stepping my foot inside. Her house is in a mess. Damn she's dirty. "Alexis?" I called out. Still... nothing. Approaching the kitchen it was as messy as the living room. Things were all over the place. Shaking my head at this scenery.

"Alexis?" I called out again. Making my way to her bedroom. Her door was partially closed. Figuring she was sleeping I opened the door to see her bed was all over the place. Seeing her foot I walked over to her to see she's laying on the floor with a cord from her radio around her neck.

In shock, I backed up and out the room. She's dead. Who in the hell got here before me?. I hang out with too many black people to know to mind my business. And that's what I did. I walked right out the way I came in. Who in the hell did this?.

Running to my car and pulling away. I guess no point in coming here she's already dead. Maybe I should call the cops. Hmm... nope I watch those crime shows. I call the cops and I'm Instantly a suspect.

Got my ass back home quick. Renzo was walking past me but saw how crazy I looked. "You okay? Is it Jaelynn?".

"Nah, listen I saw something and I need to believe me on this" I said. Renzo nodded and we both walked down to the studio. I didn't want to sit I was too in what I just saw.

"So what happened?" Renzo asked.

"I went over to see Alexis to handle her for what she caused. But she wasn't answering the door and she was home. The door was open so I went inside looking for her and she was on her bedroom floor... dead".

"Nah you Lying! If you killed Alexis I won't say shit" Renzo joked.

"I'm dead serious. Someone got there before I did. She's dead, man. Someone strangled her with a cord from her radio".

Renzo just seemed as shocked as I am "who got there before you?".

Shrugging my shoulders "I have no idea. But that house looks like Alexis put up a fight though".

Renzo laughed "imagine it was Jaelynn. She snuck out the hospital and just went crazy on Alexis. Snuck back in the hospital and acts like nothing happened".

"I can't believe that only because she's in a bad state emotionally".

"Exactly... she's not thinking right. So go after the one person who caused this to happen".

"Trust me, Jaelynn didn't do this. She's crazy but she's not that crazy to murder someone".

"Then I don't know... can't believe someone took out Alexis". Renzo just sat there in disbelief. "I know same thing I said. Shit is crazy!".

Jaelynn POV

Just sitting here in this room and thinking how I blame myself for what happened. I've been crying ever since yesterday. Elijah is suppose to come pick me up later to go home. This will be a hard next couple of weeks.

I miss my baby girl though. Jillian has sent me pics of her. Making a new promise to myself that not every action deserves a reaction. Maybe if I just ignored Alexis I would still be pregnant.

"Good afternoon Jaelynn, how are you feeling?" The doctor asked.

"Eh, could be better" I smiled.

"I just wanted to tell you. Because I see this a lot with other females who experience a miscarriage. Don't blame yourself. This could've happened at any moment to anyone. Things happen beyond our control".

I nodded "thanks doctor".

"Well with that said. I'm filling out your discharge papers now. And before you know it you'll be going home" he smiled.

"Okay" he nodded and walked out the room. I can't help but blame myself. Later on, Elijah came by to pick me up and take me home. In the car, he was very quiet. "How's zahrie?".

"She's good. Even though she's been clinging onto me. She misses her momma".

"Aww, I miss her too. I just want to hold her tonight" he glanced at me and grabbed my hand and held it.

"We'll get through this together. If you are feeling any type of guilt just come talk to me, okay?".

I nodded "okay". Once we got home I couldn't wait to hold my princess. Taking her from Renzo I held onto her. "Momma missed you" placing kisses on her cheek which made her laugh.

"Come on she looks tired" Elijah said. He went to grab zahrie from me. But I backed up "I want to hold her until she falls asleep". Walking over to the couch I held her to my chest. Tears were slowly falling from my eyes.

Renzo and Elijah glanced at each other before looking back at me. Hiding my face so they both wouldn't notice I was crying. Elijah came to sit next to me and he lifted my chin to see my face. His face softened as he hugged me.

"I'm sorry" I whispered. He shook his head and held me.
