Chapter 6
“Nah B. I’m showin’ you it’s not his kid!”
“Yeah it is! What are you sayin’ right now?”“I’m sayin’ there’s no flippin’ way the child is his! Look at her, she probably slept with 10 other dudes!”Bernice opened his eyes to see 3 of his boys gathered around the hospital TV watching, what looked like, Maury.
“Hey.” Bernice managed to say from his weak voice.
“Ay man, Bernie. You good, man?” His friend said while walking over to him.
“I’m alright, Trey.” He tried to sit up to hide his weakness, and show his strength, but his body wouldn’t let him.
“Take it easy man. It’s only us in here.” Trey tried to get Bernice back into a comfortable position.
Trey was the oldest of the bunch. He wore braids in his hair and was a deep brown complexion. Girls often gave him attention because of his chestnut eyes, but mainly because he knows who everyone wanted to know. He was the regular
Socialite, he threw parties religiously and was well-known.
“So what happened?” Drake asked trying to get right into it. He didn’t like to waste time.
“Uhm… I fell down the stairs at the apartment.”
“Come on, dude! This shit ain’t funny no more.” Drake snapped.
“It was never funny! You all already know it was my dumbass brother and his boys.” Bailey exploded from the front of the room.Bailey was the quiet type; he didn’t say much. He was more of an action guy, he didn’t brag or showoff, he didn’t talk about what he was capable of, he just did what he had to do. Silent but deadly. A pretty boy with a record. That was Bailey.
Trey pulled up a chair beside Bernice’s bed, and sat down.
“Look, Bailey… Dawg, why can’t you call your brother off? Talk to him, man. This shit is getting out of hand.”
“You think I haven’t tried already?” Bailey’s tone was defensive and aggressive. “What? You think I’m sitting here watchin’ all this shit go down? When I know I can do something to stop it? Nah. I’ve tried. My bro’s not hearin’ it. I’ve tried. Over and over again I ---“Just then, the nurse came into the room.“You guys are going to have to keep it down, or I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”
She turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.
“Fuck.” Bailey walked over to the window and looked outside.
“Is there anything that we can do?” Drake moved towards the television and turned it off.
Bernice ran his hands over his bandaged head, and adjusted his bed so that he could sit up a little more.
“No. No! This is my problem. I’m going to finish it the same way I started it. Alone.”
“Ya but---“
“No. That’s it. Just… let it go.” Bernice put his head back on his pillow and stared up at the ceiling.
There was an awkward silence that filled the room. No one quite knew what to do with themselves.
Bailey’s cell phone rang, braking the silence. He answered it.
“Ya.”“Oh hey babe.”“Nah. I just didn’t check my caller ID.”“Ya, when?”“Alright. I’m leaving just now.”He hung up and put his phone into his back pocket.
“So which ‘babe’ was that?” Bernice said, smiling, still looking up at the ceiling. They all smiled too; that eased the tension.
“Which babe? Nah. It’s not even like that. This girl, she’s the wifey. No more games.” Bailey smiled a proud smile.
“Alright Serani. You sure ‘bout that?” Drake teased.
Bailey moved away from the window and came over to the rest of them.
“Ya, man. It’s only been a few weeks, but… this girl is constantly on my mind. She’s got something on me.”
Trey stood up and stretched his arms out.
“Yeah, she’s got something on you… a WHIP!”
They all laughed, including Bailey, as the nurse came back into the room. She went straight towards Bernice’s bed, and all their eyes followed her sway. She started checking all the wire’s and tubes connected to Bernice’s body.
“Alright boys…” the nurse started.
“Boys? Ain’t no boys in here, Miss.” Trey stood beside her and winked.
The nurse disregarded his failed attempt at flirting, and continued, “I think it’s about time Bernice got some more rest. You can all come back tomorrow around 4p.m.
“Alright Man Dem. Let’s go!” Drake, Bailey and Trey came over to the bed, hailed up their friend and headed out the door. Bailey was the last to leave.
“Yo Bailey!” Bernice yelled to him.
Bailey stuck his head back into the room.
“Thanks, man.” Bernice gave an uncomfortable smile.
“Shut up, man.” Bailey said jokingly. “I’m gunna do my best to fix this.” He pointed towards the nurse, who’s back was turned his way, her round bottom teasing him. He winked at Bernice, smiled, and left the room.
Bernice smiled to himself, put his head back on his pillow and sighed.
“So where did your girlfriend go?” The nurse asked as she looked at his medical chart.
“My girlfriend?”
“Ya. The girl that was here earlier. The one who came in with you. She was here for about and hour or so.”
“The girl who…? The girl!” Bernice saw her beautiful smile in his mind, her radiant brown skin.
“She’s beautiful. You’re a lucky guy Bernice.”
“Yeah. She is beautiful… she’s not… she’s not my girlfriend though.”
“Oh. Sorry about that.” There was a brief pause. The nurse looked over at the corky smile on Bernice’s face.
“Something tells me, a girlfriend is what you’re hoping she’ll be.”
Bernice smiled harder. He turned to look out the window. He couldn’t get her smile out of his mind. The perfect hour glass shape her body created, the way her skin gave off a natural glow.
“So what’s her name?” The nurse interrupted his thoughts.
“Her… her name?... I don’t remember her name.” Bernice rubbed his forehead.
“Alright Bernice. I think it’s time for you to rest now.”
She went over to Bernice’s bed and set it so that he could lie down. She turned off the lights, left the room and closed the door behind her.

Chapter 5
Chapter 5
Bernice was lying there, motionless. Tynae was in shock, she did not know what to do.
“Oh my God!” Tynae ran over to where Bernice fell. She got down on her knees beside him and put her head down near his face to make sure he was still breathing; he was.
She started to panic, the shock was taking over her.
She quickly came to her senses. She took out her phone and dialed 911.
“911, what’s your emergency?”
Tynae caught her breath.
“I’m here at Don Mills Park. There… umm… oh God. A man has… fainted? I don’t know what happened he just passed out. He’s bleeding from the back of his head. I… I… I don’t know what to do. Just hurry!”
“Alright Miss,” the woman said from the other end of the line. “try to calm down, we’re sending out an ambulance, it’ll be there shortly.”
Tynae hung up. She looked down at Bernice. A rush of emotion ran through her. She felt sad, hurt, as if she had known him forever.
She took off her cardigan, folded it, and placed it on her lap. She reached down and lifted Bernice’s head slowly and carefully, and placed him on her lap.
Tynae looked at Bernice. He looked peacefully; almost as if he had been waiting for a decent sleep.
His breathing was slow. That worried Tynae.
She scanned his face, looking for a story that came with this beautiful stranger. His lips were so full; the right shade of a deep pink. His jaw was chiseled. His skin was flawless; not a single pore visible, not a blemish, just a small scar on the left side of his nose.
Tynae slowly brought her hands onto his head. He was warm. She gently stroked his hair. She ran her fingers through his soft, short curls. She liked how it felt with him in her arms.
“Mmm…” Bernice was waking up.
Tynae stopped stroking his hair and removed her hand.“Are you alright? Tynae asked softly and worriedly.Bernice looked up at this beautiful black Goddess he was resting on. She seemed to be getting more and more beautiful every time he looked at her.
“Bernice?... Can you hear me?” Tynae asked with more worry in her eyes. He studied her face for a moment. The small beauty mark below her nose, the extra fullness her lip gloss gave her already perfect lips.
“Yeah… my head is killin’ me right now though.” He tried to sit up, but the pain was too much, he fell back down into Tynae’s lap.
“Just relax. Don’t try to move or anything. I called the ambulance, they’re on their way.”
“Thanks.” There was a pause and they just looked at each other. “Do you have any water with you?”
Tynae opened her bag, she saw her iPod. She shook her head and continued looking for her water bottle. She found it, grabbed it.“I hope you don’t mind I already had a little… Bernice?” He had passed out again.
Bernice was lying there, motionless. Tynae was in shock, she did not know what to do.
“Oh my God!” Tynae ran over to where Bernice fell. She got down on her knees beside him and put her head down near his face to make sure he was still breathing; he was.

Chapter 4
Chapter 4
It was a warm but very breezy day in April; warm enough not to wear a jacket but too breezy to let your hair down. Tynae got a phone call at 7a.m. from her best friend from Ajax, Leanna.“Hello?” Tynae answered her phone with sleepiness and confusion in her voice.
“Hm. Do I have a big pot of mix-up for you about Steven!”Tynae slowly got out of bed and went into her washroom, wondering what sweet Steven could have done to deserve this phone call at 7a.m. on a Saturday morning. Tynae put some toothpaste on her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth.
“He effed Stacy!”
“He did what?” Tynae snapped as she spat toothpaste all over her bathroom mirror.
“Yup,” Leanna continued. “I heard it and saw it for myself… well I didn’t watch but, as I was walking home from Terri’s jam, I heard some loud noises coming from around Stacy’s house. You know me, I’m well cotch, so of course I had to take the long way and pass by Stacy’s house, and as I was passing by her bedroom, I just so happened to trip and land right in front of her window, and I saw, none other than Steven bumpin’ and grindin’ all on top of—“
“Okay stop!” Tynae yelled into the phone as she started cleaning her toothpaste off of her mirror. She couldn’t bare the mental image of her long time friend doing… doing something like that. “When did all of this happen?”
“Yesterday. I saw it when I was walking home from Terri’s jam. I thought you said you would try to reach?”
Tynae hated hearing about events happening in Ajax; because it brought back so many memories of when she used to be able to go to all the hot jams.
“I did try, but daddy was busy so he couldn’t drive me.”
“Oh. Well anyways it was live! Terri got a hot DJ from NewEra Soundcrew, and Nicole and Jay disappeared around 11:30, but I followed them to the corner and—““Leanna,” Tynae cut her off. “Can you call me back later, please?”
Tynae wasn’t in the mood to here about all this Ajax news so early in the morning.
“Alright. Deuce!” Leanna was gone.
Tynae turned off the light in the bathroom and went back into her room. She dropped onto her bed, pulled her covers over her body and went back to sleep.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. Tynae lifted her hand and dropped it down hard on the snooze button on her alarm clock. She sat up slowly and was blinded by the sun that was shining through her window.She got up, stretched, then she went to her desk and hit play on her iPod speakers. The Cool Kids came blasting hard into her room. Tynae wasn’t in the mood for Chuck and Mikey’s upbeat sound that morning. She turned the music off.
Tynae went over to her computer, and opened up her Facebook account; 87 inbox messages, 15 notifications, 3 friend request, 8 event invitations, and 10 group invitations. These people are ridiculous, she thought to herself. She decided to check her notifications first; 8 people wrote on her wall.“Tynae! When are you coming back to Ajax?”“Tynae, did you hear about Terri’s jam?”
“Ajax is not the same without you, Tynae!”“Come back home to Ajax, we miss you!”
Ajax. Ajax. Ajax. She closed Facebook.
It was 11a.m. Tynae had work at 12:30. She got dressed; a gray v-neck t-shirt, black cardigan, black washed-out skinny jeans, a brown belt, and a pair of comfy grandpa socks.
Tynae went downstairs, and opened the back door for her overweight dog, Pickles. She went to the kitchen for a quick cup of orange juice to tie her over until she could get some breakfast.
She let Pickles back inside and shook her head as she watched him waddle his way back into the house.
Tynae went back upstairs to get her cell phone, threw her SLR in her purse, grabbed her iPod, threw that in too, and then went back downstairs, picked up her keys, put on her moccasins, and walked out the door.
When she got outside she called her work.
“Hi, Daddy. I’m on my way right now.”“Hurry up Tynae! You were supposed to start 10 minutes ago.”
“Okay, but at least I’m coming right?”
“Just hurry up.”
Tynae’s parents owned a cereal factory, and Tynae worked at the main shipping office at the intersection, Don Mills and York Mills Rd.
Ty got to Leslie Rd. just in time to catch her bus.
When she got to Don Mills and York Mills, she went into the Tim Horton’s across the street from her work and bought a French Vanilla Cappuccino and a chocolate chip muffin, then she went into work.
“Tynae, it’s 2:15! You get off work in 45 minutes. What was the point?” Her father was angry.
“I’m sorry. I woke up late and I had to get—“
“Forget it. You’re late almost everyday. Just… leave. We’ll talk about you keeping your job here when I get home.”
Tynae left without saying anything. She knew there was no point. She got outside and thoughts of Ajax flooded her mind. Everyone was happier in Ajax. She thought about Leanna, Steven, Barry, and all her friends and family she was forced to leave behind.
She crossed the street and headed towards Don Mills Park; this is where Tynae usually went after work to just spend some time alone, think, clear her mind.
Tynae’s phone rang. It was Leanna.
“Hey.”
“Okay so as I was saying earlier… what was I saying?”
“Terri’s jam.
“Right! So… I followed them to Nicole and Jay to the corner of the room and it was really dark, but I pretended to be on my cell phone so that I could use the light…”
Leanna kept talking but Tynae wasn’t really in the mood to hear all the latest drama in Ajax. She missed being there.
Leanna and Tynae grew up together. They lived right beside each other in Ajax but they met a while back when they both lived in Scarborough. Leanna was a great friend. Tynae loved her like a sister, but lately Tynae’s mind state was in other places from Leanna’s. Instead of thinking about partying, and the what the next hottest thing would be, she wondered about what she really wanted from life. It was such a struggle. She didn’t get the point of life. What was it supposed to bring? She thought she was missing something in her life. That was her motivation though; she wanted to find what she was missing.
“Yo Lee, I’m not really in the mood for all that stuff I’m missing out on right now. I’ll call you later, alright?”“You sure? Is everything okay? I knew I heard it in your voice from this morning.”“Yeah. I’m fine. Just re-thinking a lot of things. Tell everyone I said ‘what up’.” Tynae smiled to herself, knowing that everyone would be happy that she hadn’t forgotten about them.
“Alright. You know my number, and you know where I live if anything. Keep your head up. Love you!” She laughed.
“Love you too, Lee, you’re gay!” They both laughed and then hung up.
Tynae sat down on a bench in the park, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
“Di fresh h’air is good fi di soul, sweetie.” The voice startled her. It came from out of no where, and it was right in her ear.
“Pardon?” She quickly opened her eyes and looked to her left where the voice was. She saw a brown skinned man with a red toque and green slush pants. His legs were extremely long, and the scruff on his face was completely out of control.He just looked ahead and smiled to himself, as if he hadn’t said anything just a minute ago.
“Can I help you?” She was disgusted by the mans composure, and his heavy island accent.
The strange man laughed to himself.“Mi just like ‘dis seat here, you know?” the strange man said.
Tynae got up and walked away. Frustrated with everything.
The park is just not doin’ it today. She thought to herself. She continued on her walk around the park and decided she would go into the city; the atmosphere always took her mind to another place. She reached for her iPod; she really needed a dose of Lupe’s Trials and Tribulations. It wasn’t there. She searched frantically for her iPod. But she couldn’t find it anywhere.
“I guess I can just start counting my losses... What a shitty-ass day.”
She talked quietly to herself. Trying to reassure herself. A group of men walked by and interrupted her thoughts with their degrading compliments and compliments to Tynae. There were five guys; the one in the front was the smallest, but seemed to be the leader of the pack. He had a dangerous scar over his eye. Tynae’s eyes followed the group of men as they walked by. She wasn’t paying attention to where she was going and almost tripped over a branch and fell flat on her face. She quickly looked around to see if anyone had seen her, it was all clear, no one in sight.
She laughed to herself and began to look up to the sky, wondering if anything could get worse for the day. She heard noises coming from the bushes.
“Squirrels.”
She kept walking but the noises seemed to be getting closer and louder. She stopped walking and the noise also stopped. She turned around and say no one. She took a step towards the bush where she thought she heard the noise coming from, she took a second thought and decided to turn around and continue walking. she wasn’t paying attention to where she was going, and she walked right into someone and feel flat on her backside.
It was a warm but very breezy day in April; warm enough not to wear a jacket but too breezy to let your hair down. Tynae got a phone call at 7a.m. from her best friend from Ajax, Leanna.“Hello?” Tynae answered her phone with sleepiness and confusion in her voice.
