Loyalty (Book 2)

Chapter 16

"If I don't do it, I won't get him," I looked up at Maurice who had tears streaming down his face with the gun pointed to my head. I was crying too looking at Alaya who had yet to wake up

"You think he'll forgive you after this?!" Messiah yelled looking at at Maurice like he had two heads.

"No," he pushed me to the floor and fired a shot into Alaya's body. He pointed the gun to his head and fired a single shot. His brains colored the room bright red. He was gone

"Oh my god," I cried holding Alaya's bloody body in my hands. I went numb. I saw Messiah yelling at me but I couldn't move. It was too much. I felt him pick me and Alaya up together and put us in the car. We drove at least 130 mph.

"She's dead," I said as we entered the ER and they carried her back. Messiah grabbed my hand and led me out of the ER.

"You know his birthday is tomorrow," he finally spoke after we got to the car. I nodded, "she wouldn't miss her brother's birthday for the world," he hugged my waist tight making me wrap my arms around his neck

"I can't believe Maurice was in love with my father," I said resting my head on his chest

"Me neither, that shit gay as hell," he scrunched his face up

"Shut the hell up," I laughed unexpectedly shocking myself

"Told you I could make you smile on your worst day," he smiled grabbing my hand and we walked back to the ER where my dad, Ky, and Jessiah were. We got scared looks from all of the people waiting. I admit though, we look like a fancy couple from a horror movie--not to mention the fact that I left my shoes at the restaurant

"Where are the kids?!"

"They're safe. Calm down," my dad pulled me into a hug. I looked at Ky and he was a mess. He and Lay have a really strong bond.

"She's gonna be ok Kyron," I assured him. He looked like he'd lost his best friend. Just as I turned to take my seat the nurse called Alaya's name.

"Family of Alaya Harris,"

"Here," we all said in unison walking over to the lady

"Alaya did great in surgery and we were able to remove the bullet. Luckily, it wasn't deep at all and didn't cause any major damage. She did lose a lot of blood though and she's gonna need a blood transfusion. Maybe the mother has the same blood type?" She turned her attention to me

"Um, I'm not her biological mother, but what's her blood type?" I said full of hope she had O just like me. She flipped through the papers and finally spoke

"AB,"

I cursed to myself and looked at the guys hopeful they'd be a match

"Your mom has AB," my dad said pulling out his phone

"Wait, she has the kids dad. They can't see me like this,"

"Go home and shower. She's ok,"

"No I can't leave," I shook my head

"Go," he said in a stern tone intimidating me. I nodded and Messiah and I headed to the house.

Naomi POV

"Is she dead?" I answered my boy toy's call

"No, Maurice killed himself Naomi. What are we going to do now?"

"Do what we been doing. One monkey don't stop the show. I been telling you this," I said irritated. He is good for nothing but some bomb ass dick.
