Excerpt from Faith's new book:
Inside the Vibe party, I didn't get a chance to speak to Biggie, it didn't help that we were separated and dating other people at the time. I thought I heard someone say something about shots ringing out, but we were able to get into our car and out of the lot with no problem so we didn't think twice about it.
Our driver had followed a long line of cars up La Cienega Blvd., and into the Hollywood Hills. When we arrived, Heavy D came over and told us we better get to the hospital, something had happened to Big. I barely remember the ride from the Hollywood Hills to the hospital. I just remember rocking back and forth mumbling and praying to myself.
The car drove right up to the front entrance of the emergency room. I was ushered through the emergency room and into a smaller waiting room. Puffy was the first person to come over to me. He was walking so slowly and his lips were pursed so tight that it looked like he was physically in a lot of pain.
"Puff, what happened? What's going on? Where's Big? Is he okay?"
Puff looked up at me. "Faith, his voice trailed off and he closed his eyes. "I'm going to let the doctor talk to you."
"Mrs. Wallace," the doctor said. "We tried to revive your husband. We massaged his heart several times to get it beating again but we were unsuccessful." "The bullets ricocheted through his body. We could not revive him."
Faith screamed, "What are you saying? You have to try again!"
"Mrs. Wallace, we can't"
I began to shake uncontrollably. For some reason, I didn't cry, I just panicked. I was wearing several rings at the time and I just started yanking them off and dropping them on the floor. Someone led me to a chair. I sat down and I wept quietly for 20 minutes.
My husband and the father of my newborn son was dead.
