The Checklist ✔ [BOOK 1 & 2]

Chapter 7

Y/N's POV

"So what happened?" Bey asked me as we drove us to the hospital

I was in the back seat holding the love of my life in my arms. Her blood on my hands literally and figuratively

"Her dad and I got into a physical fight and he grabbed my gun so now I'm trynna get it from him and he pulled the trigger trying to aim it at me but it missed and hit her" I explained

"If I hadn't jumped at him she wouldn't be in this state right now..." I added looking down at Normani's limp body in my arms

"Woah, everything is gonna be just fine. Put more pressure on the wound, we'll be there in the next 5 minutes" Beyoncé informed

I wiped away my tears as I tried to keep it together. Seeing her in my arms reminded me of my mother's death and I don't think I'll be able to function if Normani dies. I won't be able to forgive myself

"Don't beat yourself up Y/N"

"How can I not? Not only is her life at steak but once chief finds out about this... that the bullets were from my gun, I'm in deep shit" I sighed

"We're here" she answered shortly after and I rushed out of the car and into the building

"Can I get a surgeon please?" I asked the nurse frantically as I stood at the receptionist's desk with Normani's limp body in my arms

"I need a surgeon STAT" the nurse called out into this device thing

Not long after a surgeon and his crew came sprinting towards us. They took her from me and I ran behind them as they wheeled her down to the operating room but one of the doctors stopped me

"I'm sorry ma'am but this is the furthest you can go. We have everything under control" the doctor said and I nodded reluctantly

"She's in good hands" she reassured once again before entering the forbidden area

I couldn't think straight, my hands were shaking and my skin was getting clammy. I heard Beyoncé yelling out my name and I turned to face her but all I saw was a blurred figure approaching me before fists collided with my face

Third Person POV

Beyoncé rushed over to the scene and pulled Mr. Hamilton off of her partner and had the security take him to a private room with the rest of the family

The detective was concerned when she didn't see Y/N make any attempt to get up and so she approached her only to find her unconscious

"Nurse! Somebody help me!" she yelled as she tried to wake her friend up

Two nurses were quick on their feet and aided the lieutenant to a hospital room for treatment as Derrick gave her bruises all over in the little time he had

"Cop down, I repeat cop down" Beyoncé spoke into her radio as she followed the nurses that were transporting her friend

Two hours later

Y/N had waken up from her unconscious state and immediately remembered why she was in he hospital in the first place and so she sat up abruptly and started unplugging the machines from her body to stand to her feet but Beyoncé and the chief stopped her as well as Anais

"Where's Normani now?" was the first thing she asked

"She's still in surgery but you need to focus on your health right now" Beyoncé answered

"I can't focus on myself right now knowing my girlfriend in fighting or her life" Y/N argued

"Ms. Y/L/N your b.p is way too high, you need to lay back down and relax or we will sedate you" the nurse said as she entered the room
