Forever Mine

                                Si

I woke up and stretched my arms and legs before gently feeling my face.

The pain was bearable due to the Tylenol.

I need some numbing cream so I don't feel my face at all.

I walked to the bathroom and did my business and washed my hands and face.

I took more Tylenol and changed into a short pajama set with knee high socks.

Grabbing my phone which was almost dead, I softly paddled down the hallway and the stairs to my living room.

"I'm just saying, if you did, then you did! It's best not to lie about it now." I could hear Jayla yelling.

"Broooo... shut the fuck up Jayla! I ain't did shit!" My brother yelled at her.

Gunna and Bre were sitting on my love seat with a lot of space between them.

Chris was sprawled out on my sofa while Jayla sat on the large beanbags in the corner.

"Heyyyy, look who's awake!" Bre chirped, changing the topic.

"Hey. What y'all talking about?" I asked while sitting next to Chris on the sofa.

"Forget that, how are you feeling?" Bre changed the topic again.

I shot her a quick look but answered her.

"I feel a lot better. That sleep really did help me relax." I sighed.

Chris repositioned himself and wrapped his arm around me, I laid my head on his shoulder.

"I'm glad you're okay Si. I hate the fact that you gotta heal from that." Jayla said sipping from her water bottle.

"Right, if I could kill them and get away with it I would." Bre rolled her eyes.

I peeped Chris and Gunna look at each other but decided not to say anything.

"So what's next? Y'all know this shit not just gonna go away like it didn't happen right?" I asked them.

Chris looked at Gunna again and Gunna looked at me.

"We figuring shit out sis don't worry." He tried to dismiss.

"No Gunna it is something I need to worry about. Something we all need to be worried about right now." I gently scrunched my face up.

"Exactly!" Jayla co-signed.

"He shot at all of us not just yall." Bre added, sipping from her cup.

"When we say don't worry we mean that. Just let us handle it our way. Please." Chris told me.

I looked at the girls and then nodded.

"Fine but you're saying y'all gonna handle it so we expect you to." I told them.
