The Morning
The Fourth of December 1994
From MeKaiza's perspective
Greg and I were walking out the door down the hall; that's when we saw Michael walking towards us. He has some fucking nerves coming to see my sister after he disappeared on her; now she is in the hospital and 100% believes that he set her and had her raped, and because where could he have gone? And why was he drunk and not her? There are so many questions running through my head. I stopped him dead in his tracks and really let him have it before my brother and I went home.
"What do you want?" I asked him rudely.
"What's with the attitude? Can I see Makaela?" He asked.
"Don't worry about my attitude. When my sister was looking for where the hell were you?" I asked him.
"I already have told you that I end up getting drunk somehow and I end up falling asleep somewhere. Somebody could have put something that I drink and not hers; I don't know, but that would truly be what happened. My cousin woke me up; that's how I found out that she was looking for me." Michael said.
"You expect us to believe that " I said as I rolled my eyes at him.
"Well, excuse me, where the f*** were you when she was asking about you? "he asked.
"You both were set up to get out of the way so something like this could happen to her. Instead of y'all arguing, you should be working together to figure out what the f*** happened. " Greg added.
"Sorry Michael, he's right, you should be working together to figure out what happened, not working against each other." I apologize to him.
"Anyways, how well do you know my sister again because it seems like you just met her and things have just been happening," Greg asked him.
"Makaela and I are best friends. I met her, and we both stayed in Lawton, Oklahoma, where she lived before she came here." Michael replied.
" Well, that explains it... Visiting hours are over, so you have to come back tomorrow, who was about to head out ourselves and head home, and you should head home too and get some rest " Greg said. Michael , Greg, and I walk to the waiting room. My brother and I walked straight to the car, and we went straight home. Michael was left with his sister and his friend. I didn't say anything to them because I didn't know them like that, but I did tell Michael if anything happened, I would give him a call. My brother got into his car and left, and I got in my car and I left as well. I will actually walk inside the house to find out that my mother was in the kitchen; she didn't seem to be happy, and she was getting ready to come to the hospital to check on Makaela. My dad was on the business trip, so thank God he didn't know what happened or that we left and went to the party even though he told us no, but we all got grounded anyway because our mother found out, and she grounded us for the entire month and waited till she found out what happened to Michaela.
From Michael''s perspective
Everybody is going to expect Melissa, Michelle, and I are still at the hospital. I wasn't planning on leave until I talked to Makaela. I wanted to find out who did this to her because I was not going to rest until I knew and handled it myself. how could I be so stupid and know that people are out to hurt her? I'm thinking that somebody set me up to leave her alone because I was drunk. I didn't drink any alcohol the whole entire night, and neither did Makaela. The only drink that I took was from my ex-girlfriend's sister, which I think is why I got drunk, but we'll get into later. I just want to check on my girl and make sure she's all right. I was in a daze until Melissa snapped me back into the real world.
