THE LYFESTYLE.

ch.22

Kalone pulled up.
I heard his tires screech.
He ran in the house and seen me holding Milano.

"Get him in the car cmon." Kalone said , picking Milano up and throwing him over his shoulder.

I grabbed Valoure and we all ran out the house.
Kalone put Milano in his car and we drove to the hospital.
We rushed out the cars.
Kalone ran in with Milano on his shoulder.

"Please help us! My bestfriend needs help please!" Kalone called out.

A nurse ran to us and started checking Milano's pupils.

"Pupils are dilated , I need this man in a bed right now!" The nurse called out to the others.

Nurses ran to Milano and put him on a bed.
They rolled him to the back and closed the doors.
Kalone put his hands on top of his head and crouched down to the floor.
I put my hand over my mouth and cried.
Valoure laid his head on my shoulder and cuddled up to me.
It almost like he knew the energy and felt something was wrong.
All I could think about was my friend possibly dying from blood force trauma.
I called and texted all of Milano's family and told them what happened to him.
His sister and his brother came to the hospital as quick as possible.

Kiah Rivers | 26

Treyvon Rivers | 19

Kiah came in with a bonnet on and some baggy sweats.
Treyvon came in looking like he jumped outta bed.
She ran to me and gave me hug.
I hugged her for so long , trying to make sense of this whole situation.

"Is he okay?! What happened to him?!" Trey asked.
"Someone went to his house and just attacked him .." I said.
"Do y'all know who did it cause I swearq I want that nigga head on a silver platter." Trey said.
"Nah we don't .." I said , lying.

Kalone was sitting in the chair with his leg jumping.
He looked at me with hate in his eyes cause he knew I was lying.
He wanted me to tell the truth but I just didn't want to.

"Actually .. we do know who did it." I finally said.
"Who??" Trey pressed.
"A boy I was involved with .. he did it to get back at me for something I did to him." I said.
"What's his number?" Trey asked.

I handed Trey my phone with Jerells number on it.
Trey took the number and texted Jerell.

Trey: I know what you did to my brother nigga. I'm coming for you.

Jerell: Fuck yo brother nigga. Tell Carson I said he next.

I peeped my eye at the message and immediately my heart dropped.
Fuck he mean i'm next??
I know what Jerell is capable of and I do not want any issues with him while I have Valoure.

2 days later ..

They released Milano from the hospital and I took him to my house.
He's scared to go back home and I honestly can't say I blame him.
He was asleep in my bed.
Me and Valoure were sitting on the couch watching teen titans.
There was two hard knocks on the door.
I cracked my neck at the door.
The person banged again but harder.
I grabbed Valoure and took him in the room.
I woke Milano up.

"It's someone at this door. I need you to sit in the closet with Valoure until I come back and get both of y'all." I whispered.
"Okay .." Milano whispered.
The person banged again.

Milano grabbed Valore and went in my closet.
I closed the door on them and went to my dresser.
I opened the drawer and grabbed Vade's gun.
It had a full clip in it.
I went back in the living room and looke thru the peephole.
Nobody was there.
I opens the door and looked to the left of the hallway.
I looked to the right and immediately , a fist connected to my nose.
I fell backwards and onto the floor.
The gun dropped.
Jerell walked in and closed the door behind him.
I grabbed me by my neck and pulled me up to my feet.

I started trying to kick him but I couldn't.
I tried pulling his hands off my neck but I couldn't.
He stared at me as my eyes bulged.
He eventually dropped me.
I fell right onto my face.
I tried to crawl and grab the gun but he seen me and stepped on my hand.
I heard the closet door creeching open and I was just hoping Milano wasn't coming out.
Jerell picked me up and threw me into the corner.

"See ion think you understand what I meant when I said i'm not to be fucked with. So lemme teach you a lil lesson." Jerell said.
"Jerell .. please." I said , coughing up blood.

He grabbed a knife from the sink and grabbed me by my shirt.
He flipped me and pulled my shirt up to my neck
He was about to slash me.
I prepared myself for the knife that was about to go thru my skin.
I felt the tip of the knife but before he got the chance to cut me ..
*BOOM!*
Jerell's body fell on top of me.
I started taking deep breaths and pushed his body off me.
His blood got all over my white crop top.
I looked up and seen Milano with the gun in his hands.
His hands were shaking.
We had tears in his eyes and a cold look in his face.

I stood up and slowly took the gun out his hands.
He didn't take his eyes off Jerell's bleeding body.
I put the gun on the counter and ran into the room.
I grabbed Valoure out the closet and held him tight to my chest.
I grabbed my phone and called 911.
