KYRA

Its been two days since the accident. My mom came to visit and ask about me, but of course I had to lie about the story. I had to leave out some things.

Since she had to work, I've been by myself most of the time. She works long hours, my older sister is in college that's an hour away, but she visits when she can. My father lives in South Carolina. I haven't heard from him, due to our many arguments. My step father comes to see about me sometimes, too.

The doctor said I'm still in here because trauma to my brain.

I haven't been texting Prince. He's been trying to talk to me. I don't text back so he leaves me alone for a few hours to get rest. Whether they've caught Brandon or not, I don't know.

I was getting extremely bored. Sitting up here alone. My mom had to work and so did my sister. So I called someone up.

"Hey." I spoke into the phone.

"Hey, girl. Wassup?" Kenedi spoke into the phone.

"Aye, you doing anything today?" I asked.

"Nah. Why?"

"Can you come down to the hospital?" I sat up in my bed.

"Hospital? Wait a minute, who's in the hospital and why?" I could hear the concern in her voice.

"I'm in the hospital." I mumbled.

"YOU?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" She yelled, startling me.

"I'll tell y'all when y'all get down here. Ima ask the others if they can come down. Westgate Hospital." I said before hanging up.

I called everyone up and patiently waited for everyone to get here. When they did, they all came in at the same time.

"Girl, what happened?" She'Riyah asked, observing the bandage on my forehead.

I told them the whole story, of course leaving some stuff out.

"Well damn, you find out what happened while you were knocked out?" T'Yonna asked.

"Yeah. This guy went to kick his ass for me." I mumbled, smiling a little.

"Ooooo you got yo hoes kickin ass for ya!" Kenedi exclaimed.

"Shut up!" I laughed. "I don't got hoes."

"Who's this guy that kicked his ass?" Ariel bounced her eyebrow.

As soon as she said that, the door opened, and everyone turned their heads to see who it was. Prince stood there, closing the door quietly. When he turned around, he stared at everyone in the room.

"Is this him?" Ennvy whispered.

"Am I interrupting something?" He asked.

"NO! Of course not!" Kenedi blurted, standing and walking towards him. "Sit on down!" He pushd him down into a chair and sat down.
