Time Skip:4 Hours Later 11PM

Everyone was still at our house. My brothers & Imani were still up in the kitchen talking. My parents were in the guest bedroom & D.J was sleeping in his room. I feed & changed Deon so he was fast asleep. So I went in the living room.

Breaking News in Downtown Atlanta. This makes the most deadliest shooting ever this week. A group of men in a black truck were struck by bullets............The victims are Marcus Williams 26 year old shot in the stomach & arm,Tariq Jones,21 year the other passenger shot multiple times & in critical condition.

Hold on I'm now getting news. The driver DeAndre Jackson,24 years old entrepreneur & married to Amina Jackson.

Sadly,He was shot multiple times & in critical condition at the hospital. His chances are slim.

He leaves behind his 6 Month old son, baby on the way,& the Jackson Family & friends. She said in the mic. In the background, DeAndre's car with bullet holes & blood.

My condolences go out to the family & friends. Truly tragic. The news lady says.

My heart shattered. I screamed crying on the floor.

N-No he can't be gone. I muttered.

Amina what's wrong? Are you oka....Kasem asked rushing into the living room with K.J & Imani. He froze looking at the tv.

It's no way. K.J said in disbelief.

Oh my god. Mina. Imani said hugging me.

Don't touch me I needa find my phone. I say crying still finally finding my phone.

I called him over & over. Voicemail.

You have reached the mailbox of "Dutch..I'm busy right now I'll call you later.". I called again same thing. Immediately threw my phone at the wall.

Kali. My Momma said from behind me.

H-He can't be gone I was just talking to him earlier. He was coming home. I mutter breaking down again.

Momma we gotta go to the hospital. K.J said pulling on a hoodie & a coat on me. He held me up.

Mani stay her with the kids please. We call you when we hear more. Kali Jack just called me & said it's true. I'm sorry. Kasem said following behind me.

We got in my parents car together & Kasem got in his car with Dad. We got to the hospital in 20 minutes.

I-I'm here for DeAndre Jackson. I say to the nurse at the desk.

A-Amina Jackson?? He's in surgery right now. The nurse says giving me the sign in sheet.

Yes I'm his wife. We need to see him now. I say raising my voice.

Please. I'm sorry we're all shocked right now. Any press please keep them out. To give our family privacy. My Mother said stepping in.

Y-Yes Mrs.Knight. Sorry,I'll bring you to the private waiting room. The nurse said walking infront of us.

My heart was pounding. My worst nightmare came true. We followed behind her quickly. Then into the elevator that went to floor 8, "Trauma Center". The private waiting room was warm. My Mom & Kasem sat down with me holding hand.
