Chapter 1

Elgin -

We made it to the hospital and Aug, Taraji, Chris, Durrell, Mary, Tyrese's mom, Taraji's mom, Rihanna, Karruche, Jussie, and Yazz was all there waiting. They pulled Tyrese out the back of the ambulance and into the hospital. Taraji walked up to Tyrese and the medical examiner. "Ma'am were about to do surgery on Mr. Gibson you can't go in there," The short white nurse ordered.

"I'm his fiancé, I'm the mother of his children I need to be in there when he wakes up!" Taraji yelled as she tried to follow the nurse. "Ma'am I understand but it's not safe," the nurse replied. "Please! Let me in there!" Taraji yelled.

"Taraji, come on sis, come on let the nurse do her job," Mary said as she tried her best to hold Taraji back. "What I want to fucking know! Is how the hell did this happen! Why is my boy in there fighting for his life!" Mrs. Gibson yelled.

"Mama, remember when me and Tyrese were breaking up making up," Taraji asked.
"Yes I remembered," She said. "When I found out that Tyrese and Jennifer Hudson was dating I got jealous and started dating Common, to make him jealous. When Tyrese came and told me he missed me and wanted me back I left Common. A few weeks ago he started stalking me, texting, calling, sending nasty voice mails, and showing up at my set. He even put his hands on me, so I told Tyrese today, and I wish I could have done more to stop him, now it's my fault that he's fighting for his life," Taraji said as she broke down and cried. Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Henson ran over to her.

"Listen baby, it's not your fault. I don't blame anybody. I don't blame you. Tyrese was being a man sweet heart. He was trying to protect his family baby, it's not your fault," Mrs. Gibson said as she rubbed Taraji's back.

Mrs. Gibson stood up and looked from me, Aug, Durrell, and Chris. "Listen to me boys and you listen good. I have faith in God that my baby will make it, but if God for bid that he doesn't, don't retaliate. You hear me, don't retaliate! I will not loose another one of my sons," She said as tears ran down her face. Me, Chris, Aug, and Durrell ran over to her and gave her a hug. "I love you boys," she said. "We love you too," we all said in unison.

"We need to pray," I said as I grabbed mamas hand. T, Mrs. Henson, and everybody else stood in a circle and grabbed hands. "Lord, We asking you too bless my brother. Give him strength lord. We believe that you will make a way. Bless him lord. Look upon those doctors, and nurses God. Move God. We know that you are a miracle working God, we know that with you all things are possible God. We asking you these things in Jesus name Amen," I said as I opened my eyes.

Just then the Doctor came over with his clip board. Taraji walked over to him. "Are you his wife?" He asked. "No not yet, I'm his fiancé," She replied. "Okay, well Ms. Henson we need your consent on giving Mr Gibson surgery. He's doing fine, we were able to move the bullet out of his arm, we're working on the bullet in his chest. He lost a lot of blood, I thought it was going to be worse but he's fine. We're putting him to sleep while we do our surgery, but we needed your consent," The doctor said.

"Okay," Taraji said as she signed the paper. "When can I see him Doctor," she asked. "After our surgery, we will notify you," he said as he walked away. "Sis, you heard him Ty gone be good," I said as I walked over and rubbed her back.

"I hope so, I'm praying," Taraji said.

**********

It was 11:45pm and still no sign of the doctors or nurses. I pulled out my phone and looked at some old videos of me and Ty. I prayed like hell that my bro was gone make it. I couldn't move forward without him. Just as I got comfortable in my seat the Doctor came back out.

We all got up and ran over to him. "Ms. Henson, You can come see Tyrese, he's up and talking. He asked me if you were here, he wants to see you," the Doctor said smiling.

Taraji smiled and clapped as she followed The doc, I couldn't help but smile. I knew my bro was a survivor.
