Half Way There

January 8

Brooklyn POV
It was out first day back from winter break. I was sipping my hot chocolate walking to school. I saw August in front me. I wanted to run up to him and pour this hot chocolate on his back. But, I choose not to do so.
My phone rang. I looked at it. It was my mother. "Hello?" I answered.
"Yeah you on your way to school?"
"Yes."
"I need you to come back home now." She sounded upset.
"Ma I'm almost at school?"
"Brooklyn. Honey. I need you to come back home." I heard whimpering in the background.
"Mom what's going on?" I asked loudly. August turned around and looked at me.
"Baby, the ambulance is on their way."
"Mom what's going on!"
"Brooklyn someone shot your brother." I dropped my hot chocolate. August was still staring at me. Chris turned around as well. I started crying. Chris looked at August and walked to me. "Brooklyn what's wrong?" Chris asked. I dropped the phone. Chris looked at it and then picked it up. I started running towards the house. I heard someone running behind me. I wasn't anywhere close to home, but I couldn't breathe so I stopped. Then bent over. The person stopped running too. I started crying harder. I heard the other person running towards us.
"Yo Aug. Her brother was shot."  I  heard  Chris yell. So August must've been next to me. I kept crying. I felt his hands on my back.
"It'll be ard babygirl." I heard August say. I heard ambulances coming. "Come on let's go to your house." he said rubbing my back. I stood up straight. August looked me in my eyes.
"Everything will be fine." he said holding onto my hand. "Let's go." we started walking to my house.
When we got there, I saw my sister standing outside. "China, what happened?"
She looked at me. "Mom's ex came back. He tried to shoot me but Boston blocked it." She said tears coming down her face.
August was walking towards the house. "don't go in there. He'll hurt you." China and I said.
"I ain't scared of nothing but spiders baby-girls." he said as he was half way up the steps. The ambulances were getting closer. August went in the house. Chris looked at us as we heard yelling.
Then the door opened. We all looked. August came out the house with my mother's ex. August mad. My mother's ex mad as well.
"Wait August,wtf is your father doing here?" Chris asked.
"I don't know. But he better explain." August said through his teeth.
"I don't have to explain sh!t to you." he said. August stared at him.

Intense. Is Brooklyn's brother ok?
Why did August turn around to face Brooklyn anyways?
Will they ever get together?
