Chapter 31....Life Is Worth Livin

Tré's P.O.V

Sheesh how my daddy get locked up. "Damnnn daddy why?" Nana asked lookin at da screen. "He was supposed to be in LA" I said back. "Omg I gotta call him" she said and grabbed the hospital phone. "Awww he had some drugs" Stink said. "Dummy it just said that onna tv " I said. "Shut up, I know dat stupid" she said. I sat inna chair and went on Instagram liking pics. I saw that Nana posted a pic of her and Stink a while ago. "Y'all pose to be hurt, and in here takin selfies" I said and laughed. "Whatever Tré, stop hatin" Stink said "Aye i gotta go tho, so see y'all later" I said. "Aight love u bro" Nana said. I walked out the room and got inna elevator. After it opened I left da hospital. Stink and Nana should be gettin out soon. I gotta figure out how ima get dis money to da plug. I guess ima have to catch da bus to get down there. I walked from da hospital doors all the way down to the lil stop at the end of the parking lot. *ring ring* *ring ring* I wonda who callin. "Wssp dawgs" I said inna phone. "Bruh where u at? He said if u ain't here by 3:00 its yo ass man" Allen said. "Sheesh Man I can't get there by three, its 1:30 and ion got a ride" I replied. "I'll stall fo u but get here"he said and hung up. Man I gotta get there. Ima call Tab so see wat he up to. *ring ring* *ring ring* "The user you are trying to reach is unavailable at the moment, dial the number to try again or leave a message at the tone" it said. I waited for the beep to leave a voicemail. "Aye bro I gotta go to dis House to give ole dude this money, I need u to come wit me" I said and hung up. The bus just now pullin up.

Arionna's P.O.V

We've been on the bus for a while. I fell asleep but now I'm up and I don't know where we are. Im hungry and dont have any money. We've passed so many food places. I feel bad for Audrey. She cant handle not eating like i can. The bus came to a stop and I'm guessing its picking people up. I looked out the window and saw a boy. I took a closer look and it was him. "Omg" I yelled and ran to the front of the bus jumping off. "Tré " I said and jumped into his arms. "Ari where u been?" He asked. "I've been everywhere it was hard, but I missed u" I said rubbing his face. "I advise u two get on this bus before I drive off, I got more passengers to get home" the bus driver said smartly. I rolled my eyes and grabbed Tré's hand walking him on the bus. "Nuh-uh come on back up here and pay ya fare"the bus driver said to him. He walked back to the front and put 2 dollars into the machine and came back. "Awwn u guys are cute, back in the day, my husband and I were just like that, he's dead now" and old lady said to us. "Sorry to hear that" I told her. I sat back next to Audrey and she was still sleep. "Audrey wake up" I said and shook her. She slowly opened her eyes. "Are we back home wit mommy?" She asked. "No, but look who it is" I told her and pointed to Tré. "Tweeeeeeeé" she said smiling. "Wssp" he said. "Me and sissy lived in a nasty house with a mean lady and she said you and Ari are a bad couple and a mean man tried to hurt me and sissy and we can't eat anymore" Audrey told him. "Shut up" I said and covered her mouth. "Wat is she talm bout Ari?" Tré asked me. The bus stopped at another stop. "Come on let's get off" I said to Audrey. "Ari where u goin?" Tré asked and followed us off the bus. "Tré I'm embarrassed to be around u, I'm so stupid. U got put out of a good home and I left one" I said. "Which one sounds smart to u?" I asked. "I can't provide for myself let alone my sister and I brought her into my mess" I said. "Ari its not your fault, you just being a good sista to her dawgs,"he said and grabbed my hand. "No Tré, she almost got raped because I just had to take her with me. I brought her to a Nasty house full of trash and apparently drugs. My cousin doesn't care anymore and let's men walk around doing what ever they want, you just don't under-" I said before he grabbed me and kissed me. "Ari, u can get through dis, remember dat promise we made?" He asked. "Its time now, we can get our own apartment and raise Audrey together. I love u Ari, I just can't let u get taken away again. Come wit me dis time. life is worth livin wen I'm wit u." He said and reached for my hand. "Idk Tré, it seems like every time I run with u, something has to mess it up" I said. "Then maybe we should not let it get to us. I got chu" he said. I put my hand in his and we started running. Idk where we were going but we didn't stop. "Sissy wait I can't run dis long" Audrey yelled. "Tré stop" I said. I reached down and put Audrey on my back. We kept running until we got to this house. A big house that's black with red doors. "Ari I want u to stand as far away as possible, hide behind something or even across the street but do not come to dis door" he said. "Wait Tré what's going on?" I asked. "Jes go" he said. I ran across the street with Audrey still on my back and let her down once we hid behind a bush. I saw a boy pull up and get out of a car giving Tré a hand shake. Who is that? Wait its Allen. "Sissy I gotta pee" Audrey said. "Shhh stop"I whispered and looked up again. They walked towards the house. The door opened and a big man came out and started talkin to them. Tré pulled out stacks of money from his pocket and they all walked in the house. Where'd he get that money from? Its been 10 minutes now and I'm starting to get nervous. All of a sudden I heard a gun shot go off. The front door opened and Tré ran out. I ran from out of the bush and across the street to him when the man came to the door with a gun and shot Tré before I got over there "Nooo" I screamed and went to his side after he fell to the ground. I looked for any wounds and saw blood coming from his side. "Tré " I said crying as he looked at me. "Sheesh dawgs dat hurt like shit but I'm good tho, its jes a Lil bullet inna stomach. Nun serious" he said trynna calm me down. Blood started to get on my clothes "Sissy" I heard someone scream from behind me before the sound of a horn and a crash. I turned my head and saw Audrey laying on the ground in front of a car. Its like the whole world just stopped before I came back to life."Audrey" I yelled and ran to her. "Look what u did" I screamed to the driver and hit the car. Her small body cover in blood just sat there. "Omg its a baby" the lady who was driving yelled and started crying. "Someone call the ambulance " I screamed. Shortly after, an ambulance showed up and carried her on a stretcher into the truck. The other ambulance took Tré to the hospital. I hopped in with Audrey as they put the breathing mask over her nose and mouth. "Hurry, she's slowly losing blood" the man yelled to the driver. Its all my fault. She didn't derseve this. I'd rather leave her with our mom than lose her any day. The ambulance pulled into the ER lot before they opened the doors and a set of nurses came out rushing Audrey in. I ran behind them before they got to the surgery room. "That's my sister I have to go in" I said to one of the nurses as they held me back. "Sorry ma'am, we're gonna do everything we can for her. Just stay in the waiting room" She said. I walked to the counter and waited for assistance. "Excuse me ma'am do u know what room Cornell Haynes III is in? " I asked her. "Sorry only family can see him right now" she said. "I'm his sister, Arionna Haynes" I lied trynna see him. "I'll call and ask him if you're related but if not, u are not authorized to see him." She said. She called his room and asked if I was his sister. "Sorry about that ma'am. He's in room 217" she said and escorted me there. "Hey" I said to him. "Wssp" he said. "Are u ok?" I asked. "Yea they removed the bullet and stitched it up but where Audrey?" He asked. "Idk they wouldn't let me see her" I said. His door opened and his doctor I'm guessing walked in. "Sorry son, I had to check on a little girl, she got hit by a car, crazy right?" The doc said to Tré. "Umm Audrey?" I asked him. "Yes that girl, she must have a crazy family. Why would they just let her run into the street like that, I wonder how they're going to feel when they break the news to them that she's in a coma" he said. "That's my sister, don't talk about her like that, where is she?" I asked him. "Ma'am I can't let u know any personal info until its proven that she's your sister." He said. " sir I swear" I said to him crying. "Man she is the sister, I'm Nelly's son, we'll pay you to let her see her sister" Tré said to him. "I don't like the away you're bribing me and does it look like I listen to Nelly?" the doctor asked. I walked out the room and found the nurse that held me back earlier. "Ma'am could I see my sister, I already know that's she's in a coma please I just wanna see her" I begged. The nurse sighed before answering. "Come on" she said and took me to the room Audrey is in. Omg she's surrounded by so many wires. How fast was that lady going? "Umm did u by any means call our parents?" I asked. "No, I was just about to, why?" The nurse asked. "Please don't, our parents aren't exactly the caring type" I said. "Sorry but we have to contact your legal guardians" she said and started to walk out. "Please I'm begging u, I'll even pay you, ik you probably don't make much here, how about 2,000" I said. She turned around and looked at me. "Sorry, its the rules" she said and walked out. I fell to the floor and cried before I stood up and looked at Audrey. "I love u, remember sissy & me against the world? Its up to you to stop this, u could either stay for us or leave and be selfish" I said and rubbed her hand. "You probably can't hear me but I love u and I'm sorry for putting u through this". "Stay strong for me, when u wake up we can live a better life and go to Disneyland maybe even Disney World. Just wake up for me princess". She wasn't responding. Its gonna take some time. I'm getting tired anyway. I sat in the chair next to the bed and held her hand falling asleep.
