Zachariah pov
I damn near raced to the hospital as I had just got a call about Karter.Uncle j was with me as we walked to her room.Stopping as we saw my dad walking out and he stopped in his tracks mugging me.
"You brought him with you?"he said chuckling angrily walking up to me face to face.
"I'm not about to do this right now look I'm just here to see my sister."I said feeling defeated and I really didn't want to do this with him too especially not right now. Truth is I need him now more than ever but he said what he said and I did too so imma stand on it. I'll take care of myself like a man supposed to do.
Between the gang and this plus my people dying left and right.I was fucked up.
"You can go.He stays out here."He said as I nodded moving out the way as he sighed continuing to walk.Wondering why he didn't put up a fight.He never just lets me win.I guess things do happen that change everything.
"You hard neph lying to him like you was gon make me stay here n shii"Uncle j started as I shook my head.
"You is gone stay here. Don't do nun stupid I'll be back."I said as I walked into the room immediately getting sad seeing Karter hooked up to the machine looking so lifeless.I couldn't accept that this was my baby sister.
"I wish you would've called me..."I said kissing her forehead as a tear rolled down my cheek. She felt cold.
"I'm scared Karter... everybody I love or have love for is dying or getting hurt and I don't know what to do about it... I can't do nothing about it.Its not what I thought it was I thought everything would be so different all I wanted was respect and to be loved by everyone but it come with a cost. It cost me to not be able to be there for my sister and for that I'm so sorry Kay Kay . You not supposed to leave me like this . We the dream team we supposed to make it together. I need you to fight Kay. I need you to tell me what to do. I need you to help me like you've always done . I need shit to go back to normal."I said breaking down.
" I know it's a bullet out there somewhere with my name on it but I won't let this be the last time I see you. This cannot be my last memory of you."I said as I started to get angry.
"Tell me why you did it... I know Leon died but I know that can't be the reason you did it...did somebody say something to you? Did somebody do something to you?Please tell me so I can fix it."I said as I couldn't think.
"I love you Kay."I said as I wiped my tears before walking out.
"We got a problem."Uncle j said as we started walking to the elevator.
"You know that tip we got on Amari being at the park? And how you told me to tell them to handle it? He said as I nodded for him to keep going.
"They didn't fucking handle it! Amari still alive and they hit that boy."He said as I looked at him confused.
"What boy?"
"That Leon boy everybody talking about-
"Wait relo nem the ones that killed Leon? What the fuck uncle j?!"I said as I punched the wall.
"That's the reason my sister in the fucking hospital!"I said getting angrier.
"So what you want me to do? The police want to make an example out of somebody.They ain't gon stop till they find somebody to pin that boys murder on.Relo nem scary as hell."He said as I bit my lip rubbing my face.
"Tell relo nem lay low and stay the fuck out the way."I said as I got off the elevator.How the fuck imma tell Karter when she wake up? IF she wakes up anyways.

"Ma what is you doing,"I said as she went through all my stuff packing a bag.
"I went into your room to get something and found this"She said holding up my gun and some weed.
"Why the fuck you going through my shit. Anyways? I told you stay outta here!"I said grabbing it for her as she shook her head aggressively continuing.
"I want you out my house.Maybe your dad and Fatima was right. I just couldn't see that I just knew my son would never.Im so disappointed in you."She said as it low key hurt my feelings but I ignored it.
"Ma put my stuff down."I said not wanting to deal with this right now.
"You getting out my house-
"And where the hell im posed to go?! All we got is each other remember? Or you gone leave me like everybody else?!"I said as she looked at me sadly.
"Okay."She said dropping my bag. "You can stay but don't bring your gangsta bullshit into my house. It's the least you could do.And since you wanna be a man so bad handle your buisness and take the damn trash out."She said going to walk out before she turned back around.
"I don't want to see you in no casket Zachariah."She said lowly.
"You won't have to."
