Capture The Moment

chapter 9

Paris POV

"What do you mean by 'look who's talking?" I asked Jalen.

"I-" Jalen got cut off by laylah saying.

"Don't you dare act dumb, you know exactly what he means," Laylah fumed.

"Whatever, I don't have time for this," I said and walked out. I walked to the kitchen to get something to eat for dinner. As I was looking through the freezer, Jalen walked and went...

"If you responded to your text messages you could've gotten some Wawa."

"Why is everyone attacking me?" I said. I grabbed my keys and walked out, only to see that Jalen was following me.

"What do you want?" I asked him as I was walking to the car.

"Don't be an idiot, that girl loves you. You are her best friend-"

"Nah she's yours she being an asshole to me," I cut him off.

"Bruh what is your problem? First, you don't tell her about Matisse then you get caught and act like it's our fault. We wouldn't have said shit and you know it." Jalen yelled.

"I'm leaving," I yelled back.

"At least tell me where you are going." I drove off without saying a word, I understand they wanted to know but I couldn't explain it. Matisse has started to mean a lot to me since we talk a lot and work together. I know not telling them would be a mistake.

I started to doze off as I drove. Why is everything upside down? Everything suddenly went pitch black.

Laylah POV

"She drove off," Jalen yelled out of breath.

"What do you mean," I asked.

"She literally left, she got in and I tried to stop her. It didn't even look like she cared about anyone at the moment she just wanted out. Does she have depression?"

"No no no, don't even, she never tried any of the depression bull. She always used to talk to me when she felt upset but she never tried to end it." I responded getting worried, what if she did end it. I can't lose her.

"Jalen call Devonta, I'll call Paris, then Matisse to see if she is with him," I advised.

"Aight try Tobias and Joel as well," he suggested.

"Devonta's calling me," Jalen said. What? Why was he calling? Maybe he was with Paris, but there was no way possible. He lives a good 15 minutes away. "Laylah we gotta go, now," Jalen commanded.

"What why?"

"It's Paris."

"What happened?" I questioned getting really worried.

"She got in a car accident, Devonta is going to the hospital we gotta go." He explained. "I'll call Tobias on the way."

"No, I'll do it," I demanded.

"Laylah you are shocked you don't know what to do. Just get in the car and calm down a bit, I got this." I nodded my head in response. Why did this have to happen? She was just getting happy with a boy who could possibly be a 4lifer. "Laylah, Tobias is coming, he is with Joel. Get me Matisse's number," Jalen spoke. I gave him the number and saw that we were at the hospital.

"What's wrong, and give me the address," Matisse said over the phone.

"Paris got in an accident and we think you should come. You might just be the only face she wants to see at the moment," Jalen responded as I sent the address.
