Same Night

📍Saint marcs Hospital

Amena Armani Kelly

The ambulance finally arrived at the hospital. We all got out of the back. When we got inside nurses started coming to help.

I followed them as they rolled the stretcher with Kb on it to the back. Just as I was about to go in the door a nurse stopped me.

"You can't go in there ma'am"

"Please he needs me, I have to make sure he's good" I cried trying to push my way through.

"You have to let us do our jobs, ma'am, calm down, he needs you to be calm and be there for him okay so calm down and let us do our jobs" the nurse said to me. I stopped trying to get through and just put my head in my hands bawling my eyes out.

Somebody walked me back to the waiting area while I still had my head in my hands bawling my eyes out. Just as I was about to sit down I heard my name being called.

"Mena" Eli called me as the rest of them walked in behind him. I lifted my head and saw them. As soon as Eli got to me I clutched into his shirt crying on him as he hugged me.

When I felt his shirt get damp I let him go. I sat down next to Lia and Eli sat on the other side of me.

"What happened ?" Eli asked me, gaining everybody's attention. Everybody was now looking at me, that's when I noticed Mel and Kamiya with tears in their eyes silently crying. Lil and Ace Were mugged up along with Eli trying to keep a hard exterior. Kyra and Lia were crying too.

"we-" I paused to sniff and gather my words.

"We were getting in the car from the beach. When he closed my door he turned around to go to his side and that's when the car drove by and started shooting, when I got out the car, they sped off." I explained.

All the boys looked at each other like they knew something we didn't.

"you seen em" Ace asked me and I shook my head.

"I didn't see em but i know what car they were driving"

"They were driving an old Cadillac coupe deville" I added.

"consider it handled" lil said.

I let a couple more tears fall before I wiped my face and stared blankly at the wall in front of me.

Lia and Kyra were comforting Mel and Kamiya. That's his sister and cousin after all so they might feel way worse then i do right now.

I just can't help but think about what he told me before he went out. Do i love him ? Maybe. I can't really tell because of my last experience with a boy. I thought I loved him when I really didn't, I just loved that he was there.

Oh my god ! This is literally the 3rd time something like this has happened to me. The last 2 times the people didn't make it to the hospital.

Just thinking about that has my mind racing a mile per minute. What if he doesn't make it. I can't lose Kb too.

This was the whole reason I didn't want to get attached, especially to someone running the streets because they could leave at any moment, whether it be death or walking out.

"God please, I can't lose anymore people. I know he's done crazy things but you are a forgiving god, you are almighty, and your love is unconditional. Please forgive him and spare his life. Please god." I silently prayed because that was all I could do at the moment.
