Cayla's POV:







I woke up to bright lights in my eyes and a huge headache. I looked around me and saw that I was in a hospital bed. What the f*ck... I said to myself then tried sit up but my arm gave out on me and I felt extremely weak.

"Thank you lord! My baby is awake!" I heard what sounded like my mom from beside me.

I looked over and saw her walk over to me and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Mommy...what happened?" I croaked. I looked to my arms and noticed a patch on my left shoulder.

She started to look sad. "Well someone came and shot you... on your shoulder and your stomach...but thank god the bullet didn't go through your stomach. the bullet just grazed the side." my mother said rubbing my arm slightly.

I sat there and stared at the white and blue striped wallpaper then I remembered what happened.

"Did the police catch who shot me? or did you see who?" I asked.

"No. but I did see two people run off and hop in a car and drove off."

"Dumb bitches..." I mumbled to myself. I can't believe that Octavia would try to kill me! What have I ever done to her to make her want to end my life?

"How are you feeling?" My mother asked.

"Betrayed." I replied and closed my eyes feeling the tears coming through.

Janae's POV:


I couldn't believe that I would just run off like that. I guess I was just in panic mode and I didn't want her mother to blame me. I haven't even been able to sleep ever since that happened.

"Morning baby!" Octavia said skipping into the kitchen and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I backed up and looked at her. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked looking at her like she was crazy.

"What do you mean?" She asked smiling.

"You wake up and skip in here and act like you didn't just shoot at someone! What is really wrong with your brain? Are you crazy?" I asked her.

She looked at me and the smile that was on her face disappeared and turned into a disgusted look. "I know what I did Janae but she came at me sideways and I had to do what I had to do."

I jumped out my chair and placed my hands on my hips. "SO YOU GO AND TRY TO END HER?!" I yelled. At this point I was so shocked that she could be so heartless and not care that she nearly took someone's life.

"First off, don't you dare yell at me! Second-"

"What you gonna do? Shoot me too!? GO AHEAD DO IT!" I screamed in her face.

"I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO SOMEONE I LOVE!" she screamed back.

I backed away from her and took a seat with my back facing her. I was even too scared to call her mother because she would start to get suspicious and I didn't want to get Octavia arrested. I love that girl and to see her in handcuffs would be devastating.

I just wish she would understand what she did was wrong and it should of never gotten to that point.

"You know what why don't we go to the hospital and apologize for what went down so you don't get a charge placed on you." I suggested.

Octavia turned and looked at me. "But I don't feel sorry for what I did though..."

"You would sooner or later but how about we go get something to eat and then go over there to apologize. Please...for me." I pleaded.
