enters house coughing loudly and deeply into the air Shit…..
I look up at him concerned baby! Are you okay?
coughs loudly and puts his hand on the wall to support himself. He tries to talk in between coughs I’m…. fine…..mom
I look up at him from my spot on the couch. "Hey, babygirl! How was school?"
He walks over and flops down on the couch, laying his head in your lap It was shitty. I’m sick as hell….
I look at my baby boy worriedly Are you okay? what’s wrong?
He sits down on the couch and puts his head in his hands, leaning forward
I dunno…..my chest feels tight….and my cough won’t go away….
I immediately rush to him and hold his arm Bubba! What's wrong? Are you okay?!
He coughs into his arm as he’s dragged to the couch I’m fine! Just a little cold.
I rush to his side. What's got you feeling so terrible, baby?
“My chest and head hurt, my throat feels all weird, I feel like crap…” He says with a cough in between every few words
Hey, hey…come here. Let me see what I can do for you. Tinra says rushing over to her son and placing a hand on his forehead.
he lets out a few more coughs into his elbow before speaking I’m fine mom…..it’s just a cough….
I look at my son who is coughing up blood. I quickly take him to the hospital.
Zaire coughs up more blood, staining his shirt and your clothes as you rush him into the hospital
What’s wrong? I look up at him from my book.
cough cough My chest feels heavy…. And I have this bad ass cough…..
look at him with concern hey baby, feel like talking?
coughs again into the air No. I don’t want to talk. I just wanna sleep…..
glare at him as he enters my home What happened?
looks at you and shrugs I don’t know. I just started feeling like crap. cough Damn….
I put my finger up to my lips, then motion for him to come closer.
he rolls his eyes and walks over to where you are. He’s standing right infront of you now
I quickly get up and hug him Mommy's here baby... Are you okay?
I cough and pat your head
Yeah….. My chest hurts though…..
I cough more and lean against the wall to stay standing
Hey baby! I look at you concerned what's wrong?
coughs deeply “I’m fine. Just a little cough, that’s all.” He tries to sound tough but the way he sounds when he speaks tells you otherwise.
looks at him with concern baby, you don't look so good...do you want some tea?
he coughs loudly I don’t want any tea! What I want is to be healthy again…..my chest feels so tight…
I looked up from my phone and saw him walking into the house. I got up quickly and rushed over to him. "Hey baby! How was school?"
He coughs in your face and smiles. “It was fine. Just the usual bullshit. I feel like crap though…..”
Hey baby! I walk over to him. How are you feeling?
he coughs again, holding his chest
I’m fine…it’s just a little cold.
looks at him worried baby, how long have you been feeling like this?
he grunts as he walks over and sits down on the couch. He looks tired and exhausted. “Since this morning…..”
