Lovin You

Chapter 22

Camila's Pov

*Pop* *Pop* *Pop*

Gunshots.

Next thing I see is two men drag out a body. It's Kota. Oh shit.

"Kota! Kota!" I scream

She looks at me slightly before her eyes flutter close.

"Kota!" I scream again this time shaking her

"Ma'am please stop. She's bleeding out! We need to go! Are you going to ride with her?" A young police officer says

I nod furiously before following them into the ambulance.

We immediately start moving and Kota starts breathing irregularly, shaking and everything.

"What's going on?" I ask

"She's hyperventilating." An ambulance attendant says

She holds Kota's right hand and does some shit to help her. I'm so overwhelmed that I can't focus.

When we get to the hospital, they rush Dakota into surgery. I couldn't do anything but sink to the floor and cry.

Soon Dinah,and Ms. Michelle arrive. I see Ms. Michelle go to a nurse before she saw me, along with Dinah. They rush to me and sit beside me.

"What happened sweetie? What happened to my daughter?" Ms. Michelle asks

"She-. She saved ..everyone in the school. There was... a school shooting." I say between sobs "She said she couldn't stand by like she did with...with Hakeem. Who is Hakeem?" I ask more like beg

Ms. Michelle looks down with tears storming down her face.

"Hakeem's her younger brother.She called him Casanova." She says smiling before it returns to a frown "He was 14 when he died in her arms. She didn't let it happen. It just happened." She says wiping her tears "He was stabbed in the house. He had gotten home early and someone broke in. He screamed and Kota ran downstairs. She saw it with her own eyes, she saw the stabbing. Glued in place. When the guy left she ran to Hakeem and he told her how much he loved her. But before she could return it he passed." She says on full blast crying

Dinah had remained quiet the entire time. "I didn't know this." Dinah says

"She doesn't tell anyone. Not even Mila knew." Ms. Michelle says calming down

A doctor came in and said "Dakota Tamika James?"

We all stood up and he approached us with a pitied face.

"Well how is she?" Dinah asks impatiently

"Umm..unfortunately she has slipped into a coma." He says slowly

"What?" I say

"During the ride here she just slipped." He says

"Just slipped? How much of that sleeping shit did you give her?" Ms. Michelle says

"Enough." He says

"When can we see her?" I ask

"You can go see her now if you want." He says "Room 112."

"Thank you." Dinah says

We walk to her room but that cold steel didn't feel right on my hand. Dinah sees my expression so she opens it for me. When I see her laying there with her leg wrapped and in a hospital bed I couldn't handle it. I ran to her bed and held her hands in mine.

"Get up Kota!" I scream "Please." I whisper
