Best Friends

"Oh my god!" I scream while I'm speeding with Kahjeel bleeding heavily in the car.

He is in and out of consciousness but I don't know what to do because a car is shooting behind us still so I'm driving around in circles.

"AHH." I scream turning onto what seems like a main road.

"Ghost trail my car."

I look over and Kahjeel is barely hanging in, from what I hear he seems to be talking to Ghost on his phone.

I don't know where we are or how to get to a hospital. The car behind us is gaining on me now, another shot is fired and a back tyre is out. I'm barely keeping control of the car.

Two cars are coming in our direction full speed ahead with bright lights.

This is it, this is the end. All the fighting, all the quarrelling and it comes down to us dying in a shootout.

The steering is tight and the car is swirling left and right. The cars Infront are on both sides of the road.

This entire scene has me in panic mode. But I know what I have to do and that is keep Kahjeel safe. I swerve to the banking then I hear shots going off on rapid until a loud bang.

The car that was behind us is in a ditch on fire and a few men with guns standing close by.

Some guys rush towards our car shining a flashlight. I grab the gun in Kahjeel's lap and place it Infront of me to fire on who ever opens the door.

"Maria, a me Ghost." One of the guy says.

I sight with relief but anxious again when I remember Kahjeel needs to get to a hospital. "Kahjeel got hurt Please help him." I cry a little more dramatic than usual.

"You get hurt?" He ask coming over to assist.

"No, just help him please."

"Alright let's get him out the car and in ours." He instruct to the three other guys behind him.

They lift him out the car and place him in the back of the car Ghost came out of. I climb in and a few seconds later they light the SUV we were in on fire. I watch the car go up in flames, then I hear a few loud bangs.

"Why did you do that? Kahjeel loves that car." I scream looking back at the car.

"Calm down Maria, a just procedure." Ghost reply taking the gun from my hand.

I watch him rip open Kahjeel shirt and I can see the bullet wound with blood flowing from his chest. He throw some liquid thing on two fingers then stick them inside Kahjeel's chest.

"Ahhh!" Kahjeel scream.

"Stop your hurting him."

"Maria relax, I'm saving his life."

"No your not." I cry trying to have the driver pull over.

"Maria stop or else you go mek Busshead dead yute. Mi a feel fi the bullet but it look like it go through" He shout.

He pull his fingers out and throw the same liquid in the bottle on the wound. He then use some cotton like material and press on the wound.

"What does that do?"

"Keep him alive until we reach."

Kahjeel's eye open once again and his face is covered in sweat and his entire body is shivering.

I grab his hand and the only thing I can think of is to pray and that's what I'm going to do.

"Lord I know he is not a saint, he has taken lives before but I'm asking you to keep him for me. I can't live without him in my life. Just keep him please, amen."
