Excuse the mistakes.

Unique.

I woke up to my phone vibrating next to me and quickly grabbed it, thinking it was KJ. I frowned when I seen it was Polo.

"Hello?" I answered, putting it on speaker so I could check my notifications. I had over 30 calls and text messages from Polo but nothing from KJ.

"Unique!"

"Damn, what's going on Polo? Why you blowing up my damn phone?" I said, yawning.

"It's KJ. Somebody shot him! We at Promise."

Without saying anything, I hung up in his face and slipped on some shoes before grabbing my keys. I sprinted to my car and drove 60 all the way to Promise. My heart was racing and I was thinking the worst, I couldn't help it. My head banged and I tried to calm myself down by taking deep breaths. I didn't wanna have a panic attack.

I parked quickly and got out my car, then ran into the hospital. I pushed a few people out my way to get to the front desk.

"KJ Thomas." I said, practically out of breath.

"He's in the ICU ma'am you have to wait."

"Hell nah, I don't give a fuck! I have to see him!" I yelled, startling her a little.

"Ma'am y-"

"Nique!" I heard Polo say. I looked around then spotted him in the waiting room.

"What's going on? How is he? You heard anything?" I asked quickly, pacing the room.

"Nah, it happened by da trap though I know that. They say two dudes ran up on 'em and they started arguing then shot him twice. When I went in the trap, they said he was dead. But them the hospital called me telling me to come down here asap. I don't know what's going on."

"Oh my fucking god." I mumbled, feeling tears fall out of my eyes

This shit can't be happening. No, no, no. It can't. I thought to myself.

"Just chill, sit down, we gotta be patient." Polo said, sitting me down in a chair. My heart felt like it was about to stop from beating so hard. I hoped and prayed and hoped and prayed he would be okay.

"Lord, I am coming to you right now. Praying that KJ will be okay. Lord just place your healing hands on him and work through them to heal him. Lord, please please please. In your name I pray, Amen." I said getting on my knees. I knew I probably looked crazy but this couldn't be happening, not now.

"KJ Thomas." I heard a voice say. I got up and walked towards him with Polo right behind me.

"How is he? Please please tell me he's okay." I begged, looking at him. He looked familiar but I couldn't quite figure out who he was. didn't are though, I was just worried about KJ.

The man looked up from his clipboard and stopped. He tilted his head to the side and looked at me as if he was studying me.

"What's going on? You good man" Polo asked, looking at him kind of crazy. He nodded.

"I-i'm sorry but um, we were able to revive him." He said making me let out a deep breath. "But, he's in critical condition. He's bleeding, a lot and we're not able to stop the bleeding so far but we're doing all we can."

"Oh my gosh, thank you, thank you so much." I said shaking his hand. He smiled, then looked at me again before walking away.
