Pieces of Me

by Aubry J.

“He knows who you are, Mecca!” “Yet I can't say the same.” I pushed her against the wall and then let her shirt go. “I’m sorry,” she cried. “I don’t give a fuck, Cross!” I yelled as I got back in her face. I punched the wall next to her head. She didn’t break eye contact with me; the killer in her wouldn’t, even though she was crying. “He’s my fuckin’ son, and Marus has him because I didn’t know he existed. He was living unprotected because you never told me about him, even though we were going after Marus! You left him unprotected like his family isn’t filled with killers.” I looked up to see her family standing there watching us. I took a step back and shook my head. “Mecca.” She reached for me but stopped short when our eyes connected. “He cried for me to come get him. He said he was scared.” I let out a humorless laugh. “He was worried that you would know he had an accident and didn’t want you to know.” Tears filled my eyes, but there was no reason to stop them. “He said he fought Marus, but he wasn’t big enough. He fuckin’ apologized for not being big enough! I watched my son, my fuckin’ firstborn, my namesake, fight that muthafucka to protect Rue and get hit in the damn head. My son, Cross.” I slammed my chest with my open hand. “My heart outside my body.” “I’m sorry!” She yelled. “Understand something, after I get my baby back, don’t say shit to me. You and I are done. The next time I see you, I’ll kill you.” I stormed out of the hospital with one thought on my mind...
