Cali Kids: XOXO Sequel (The Ranger$) #Wattys2015

39: Josiah

«S/o to @TRAPP_QUEENN. She's cool people & she writes Ranger$ stories too. Wattpad was fucking up again so I had to rewrite some of this. Now on to the story. I hope you like this although it is sad.»

'He knows.'

I didn't need to ask who texted me or who he was because I already knew. Everything was going so good at the park. One minute we're all just chillin' like we used to then the next i'm covering my sister like a blanket. This feel like some Menace II Society shit & i'm Kane. The thing is, in a way I am. I especially didn't think this shit would happen this soon.

Now here I am running beside my oldest sister. The same sister that always made sure we were all ok. The same sister that used to hold me on her lap & read stories to me when I was a kid. Now here she is running for life because of me. Because I had to be so stupid & do all that shit for someone that didn't even fucking want me as a baby. Now some hoe's crazy drug dealer boyfriend is shooting at us.

"Khilee keep running!", I yelled from behind her when I saw her start to slow a little. She kept going with me right beside her but then, "Khilee!", someone scream. I glanced beside me to see that she wasn't there beside me anymore. I stopped & turned around to find her standing a few yards behind me staring straight ahead. I followed her line of vision & saw some nigga pointing a gun towards us, her more specifically. "You fucked my bitch, now i'm gone get rid of yours", he mouthed.

Oh my God, Khilee. I ran. I ran as fast as I could to get to her. She didn't move. Hell, I don't even think she was still breathing. She was just staring straight ahead. I didn't make it in time because just when I dove for her gunshots rang out & she screamed. She screamed so loud.

We fell on the ground with me covering her body. I heard 2 more gunshots followed by sirens & the screeching of tires but I wasn't focused on any of that. I got off Khilee & sat next to her rolling her onto her back. "Khi! Khilee, where did you get hit!? Khilee!", I yelled frantically. She didn't respond. "Khilee! Khilee tell me where the fuck you've been shot!", I snapped leaning down to sit her up.

"J-JoJo, i-it h-hurts", she stuttered & coughed up blood. I held her close to me being careful not to hurt her any worse. Her eyes kept shifting around never staying focused for more than a second. A tear rolled down my face. "I'm so sorry", I whispered. "I-it's ok. It-it's not yo-or fa-ault", she panted out.

She had a trail of blood trailing down from her mouth down her neck onto my shirt but I didn't care. A damn bloody shirt was the least of my troubles. I was losing my sister I knew it. "We can't lose you. I can't lose you Khi", I whispered into her hair. They fell & they fell, the tears down my face. She coughed up more blood & I took my hand wiping it away like she used to do when mama let her feed me when I was a baby.

"You know, you're the best sister anyone can have? Don't tell the twins that. You mean so much to me Khi. I can't lose you. You have so much to live for. You're supposed to graduate in like 2 months then go off to college & do all kinds of shit. Then you'd graduate & become this big shot & meet a man, get married, & give me nieces & nephews. It doesn't end here. Just hold on for me. Hold on for us", whispered & kissed the top of her head.

"I-I will", she whispered right before I pulled away from her by a paramedic. I didn't even know that they came or that Josiah got shot too until I saw him being put inside another ambulance with the twins getting in behind him. Everything after that was blurred together. My mind wasn't processing anything. I was trying to think of a way to turn back time but nothing remotely possible came to mind. So when the doctor came & told us Jer & Khi's condition I lost it.

I ran. I ran out of the waiting room. My family we're calling after me but it was like I wasn't even hearing them. I ran until I ran pass a room that made me stop. The door was closed but through the window you could see a girl laying on a hospital bed with tubes & wires everywhere. It was Khilee & I felt like the breath was knocked out of me. My vision blurred from tears as I ran in the room & kneeled beside her bed.

"I'm so sorry. It's my fault. You have to make it Khi. You don't deserve this shit. Just please don't die on me. We all need you here with us. We're all here. Even uncle Alex is here Khi. Just please don't go. I love you. We love you. Heaven doesn't need you, we do. Just please, please, make it through this", I cried. "It's ok. I forgive you", I looked up to see her looking down at me.

'Beeeeeeeeep!'

"Khi? Khilee. Khilee!? Khilee! No!" It started as a whisper but before I realized it I was up on my feet screaming. A doctor & nurses came rushing into the room knocking me back away from her. "We've got a cold red! Bring the crash cart now! Clear!..." Everything else became mute to me. "Khilee! Khilee wake up! We need you! I need you Khi! No!", I screamed reaching out to her. "Khilee!", I screamed over & over again until my voice was a whisper & everything went black.
