9:30 P.M.They pulled away and DD smacked his teeth.
"That's why them niggas missed," he laughed as I looked down at my stomach and seen blood on my hand. I grabbed DD's arm and backed myself up to the wall. His eyes widened as I slid down the wall and winced.
"Okay, just, stay calm, you heard?" he dropped down next to me and took his shirt off. After ripping it, he wrapped it around my body and tightening it on my stomach.
"Stay calm, ok? I need you to breathe and stay calm," his hands were shaking and his eyes were still wide. He grabbed his phone and tried to type 911.
"Fuck," he looked up at me and I started crying. The pain was unbearable at this point. He called for an ambulance.
I grabbed his hand and squeezed.
"Dd," I whispered, taking a shuttered breath.
"I don't wanna die," I shook my head, tears fallin out my eyes.
"You're not going to die," he looked around and pulled me over so my head was laying in his lap.
"Tell Darrian I love him, I don't want our last conversation to have been a fight," I cried and winced.
"Aliyah stop please," he wiped my tears and looked up at the sky. I started to feel myself drifting away.
"Aliyah," he mumbled looking down at me.
"Aliyah, look they around the corner," he squeezed my hand.
"My love," he started crying, I've never seen him cry. Nor have I ever heard him adress a girl as "My Love" or "Baby" or "Bae", he just never does it. I started shaking and crying some more.
"Please," he looked over.
"Do you hear them?" he watched the ambulance pull around the corner. I reached my hand up to his face and wiped his tears.
"I love you, David," I whispered before everything went black.
NOTE| IDGAF if that was cringey. #sayyourlastgoodbyes
NEXT DAY
My eyes shot open. I looked around and seen Dd and Darrian sleep.
"She's awake, call a doctor," I heard, who I assume was a nurse, call out to someone. Their eyes shot open and they looked at me and then at eachother.
"Oh my god," Darrian wrapped his arms around me.
"Who are you?" I asked, pretending like I don't know him.
"What?" he pulled away and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Why're you hugging me?" I grabbed his arms and took them off me.
"You know who I am?" Dd stood up.
"No," I shook my head.
"Alright, hello..Aliyah," the doctor looked at the paper.
"I'm Dr. Rose an-"
"She doesn't remember us," Darrian and Dd turned to the doctor after cutting her off. I winked at the doctor and tried so hard not to laugh.
"What do you mean?" she asked, walking up to me and opening my eyelids.
"Just a little light," she said as she flashed the light in my eyes.
She did all her checks while Dd and Darrian told her about what I said.
"She seems to be fine and the surgery went well, she did have some internal bleeding but it stopped, so she might just be having some shock," the doctor nodded, writing notes and flipping the pages down.
"Aliyah, do you remember me?" Dd spoke slowly.
"How do you know my name?" I asked.
"No fuckin way," him and Darrian started tearing up and shit.
"Ya'll some dumbass niggas," I laughed, wincing and holding my stomach. They looked up mad quick.
"You remember?" Darrians eyes were all wide.
"I never forgot," I shook my head.
"See you always playing around," he sighed.
"I'll leave you guys alone," the doctor laughed.
"Why you always playing around? I thought you really forgot us," Dd mumbled.
"How can I forget yall," I smiled.
"Aliyah, you got shot, you never know," Darrian said with tears in his eyes.
"Why you boutta cry?" I asked, opening my arms.
"Cause bro you really could've died," he walked up to me and gave me a hug, holding me tight.
"I'm still here though," I smiled.
"You don't wanna talk about it?" Dd asked. Then I just saw a flash of last night again. I just saw me laying there with blood all on my dress.
"No," I shook my head and held Darrian. Everything got quiet for a little bit.
Dr. Rose had came back and told us that I could be released tomorrow.
We spent most of the day talking and I just kept getting little flashes of everything that happened. It was making me a little sick. I just can't unsee the blood and the wound.
"You good?" Dd asked.
"Yeah," I furrowed my eyebrows and nodded.
"Cause you mad pale," he rubbed his hand against my face.
"I'm good," I nodded again. I moved over and patted the bed, asking him to lay down.
He layed next to me and wrapped his arm around my neck.
"This jello hittin," Darrian nodded.
"You fuckin that shit up," I mumbled, my eyes low as hell.
"You tired?" he asked, munchin on his jello. I nodded and closed my eyes.
"Go to bed then," he sat down. I shook my head.
"Aliyah, we finna be right here when you wake up," he stared at me.
I closed my eyes and got comfy, falling asleep.
