"Ugh! Stop swapping spit! Gross as fuck!"
I laughed as Paige pulled Thebe away from me. I stood up and shoved her away. Turning back and giving Thebe another hug. "See you later, right?"
"Duh, big head." He laughed.
I kissed my teeth, "what-the-fuck-ever, we're gone."
"About fucking time," Paige mumbled.
I glared at her, and grabbed my bag from Thebe's couch as he stood seeing us out. Once we got the the door we hugged again.
"Peace, bitch."
"Bye, hoe."
I laughed and walked out of the front door behind Paige who continued to mumbled. I rolled my eyes.
"Chill the fuck out, Pay. I don't be complaining when your fucking swapping DNA cells with Travis, Loch Ness Monster looking ass."
She stopped in her tracks and looked at me. I laughed, "it's true though,"
"No it's fucking not!" She yelled.
"Whatever, Mrs.Ness."
Coming to the end of the driveway, we piled into Travis' car. "So where we going?"
"To see Tyler." Travis looked back at me. "You cool with that?"
I shrugged and sighed loudly. "It's whatever."
Travis continued to stare at me. I have him the same unreadable face. "I said it's whatever!"
He threw his hands up. "Alright chill, Ill take your word for it. Just don't get weird again, we're actually going inside of the hospital room today,"
I huffed and sat back. I wasn't acting weird. I just don't like hospitals. Never have, never will. And the fact we were in there because someone we knew got hurt, made the matter even worse.
"Why didn't Thebe come? What's he doing?" Travis asked.
"Working on that plan most likely," I shrugged.
I didn't know anything about the plan, Neruda wouldn't tell me shit. I just knew whatever was going down, was gonna go down before prom.
We pulled to the hospital parking, and exiting the car. I had to admit, I was nervous. I honestly didn't wanna see Tyler in this state, but I did want to talk to him. Ask him what was up with him and Salem? I know it's none of my business, but I wanted to know. Especially if I was gonna be apart of this little revenge plan the guys were concocting.
Travis got us visitor passes as Paige and I stood back. I hated this place, it always smelt weird, and you'd always get that feeling that the person next to you was gonna die, or give you some kind of disease. It was disgusting.
How could a place filled with so many useful things, and medicine be so creepy?
"C'mon y'all." Travis said, grabbing mine and Paige's attention again.
We stood from the wall and walked over to him. He handed us our visitors passes and we proceeded to Tyler's room. Travis said he's surgery was a success, and the doctors had removed both bullets.
I was grateful, I didn't want lil homie to die.
Walking up to Tyler's door, I examined the room number, 218. I needed to remember it just in case I needed to come back, but hopefully he's going home soon. I hate this place, and I'm never gonna get tired of expressing it.
We walked inside the room was lit, well lit. Tyler sat propped on the hospital bed, with his head dipped into the pillow, watching TV. He didn't even bother to look at us. Rude shot up ass.
"Tyler? Sup bro."
Finally looking up, Tyler looked at us. His eyes darting each of us, before a small smile rimmed his lips.
"Finally, some familiar faces,"
We smiled and walked further into the room. I stayed further behind as Paige and Travis went closer to his bed.
"How you feeling man?" Travis asked.
Tyler shrugged. "I've been better."
"Fag," Travis laughed.
I kissed my teeth. "You're fucking rude."
"Calm the fuck down, he ain't dead. I can crack jokes."
I rolled my eyes at Travis and looked around the room. It was just like a regular old hospital room. Bland ass white walls, standard hospital furniture, machine that beep when your ass dies. Fucking hate this place.
"Why you all the way over there?"
I looked at Tyler who was staring at me. Then at Paige who was on her phone, and then at Travis who was on his phone.
"Who me?" I asked.
"No the wall," he rolled his eyes. "Duh you."
I kissed my teeth at him.
"Come over here, I ain't got no diseases, I'm clean girl." Tyler motioned.
I stared at him for a little longer, before walking over to his bed. I grabbed a chair from against the wall and sat down.
"So what's been up with you? Did you guys go to prom?"
I shook my head. "Prom hasn't even happened yet, but I've just been chilling, hanging out with Thebe."
Tyler nodded. "Cool."
"Yup."
The air was getting awkward. I wanted to tell him about Thebe and I, but I didn't know how. I mean I don't think he would care. Would he?
"Have you seen Salem around?"
I looked at him. "Not really, why?"
He shook his head. "Just wanna know."
Part of me wanted to blab about the plan, but what would I say? I don't even know what the plan is. All I know is that Thebe wants to kill Salem and this Sam guy I know nothing about. I don't know how, where or anything for that matter. I don't even know why I'm so cool with the fact that my boyfriend is gonna kill somebody.
"What you in deep thought about?"
"Just everything." I said
"Like what? Talk to me."
I looked at Tyler who was staring at me with concerned eyes. I looked at Travis and Paige who were knocked out on the small sofa. I sighed.
"Well for one; Thebe and I are together, as in a couple." I paused, I didn't want to look at him, 'cause I could already image the disappointed father look he was giving me. "Two,-" I stopped again. I didn't wanna tell him what the wolves were planning, time to make up a quick lie. "Two, Ulani's been having some kind of allergic reaction to some seafood she ate, and I've been having to deal with her all week. Then there's school, prom, graduation. Plus you with this hospital incident. Everything is piling on all at once. I'm just ready for this year to be over."
"Damn, you and Thebe are dating?"
I snapped my head towards him. "Please tell me that was not the only thing you got from this conversation?"
He laughed. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
I glared at him, before looking down at my shoes.
"Aw, cheer the fuck up kid. It's just school, and plus I'm fine. The doctor said I would be out of here in about four more days. And the Thebe thing, don't stress it. Thebe's smart. He knows how to treat a girl without fucking her over. Everything's fine."
I laughed, "thanks."
He smiled showing off his cute gap. "Anytime."
author's note: I was listening to Girl the whole time I was editing this, that song is my shit, has nothing to do with the chapter, but yeah.
