Ray's POV
When i found out what happened to my bestfriend, the whole world stopped. I drove to the warehouse, where i seen Ari being taken care of by Rico's personal doctor. I ran hugging her, making sure i didnt her more then she already was . "Who did this? " i asked her. She shrugged her shoulders &' put her head down.
Later on she was ready to go. I took her back to the house, happy that she was ok &' i have to make sure i kept her in sight.
We had a gathering, kind of like a family reunion , with all of our friends from Winterhaven.I asked Ari do she wanna join &' she was down with it. Zoe, the twins, Ck &' his crew ,all of us were together in one big room.Princess&' Jey came from Atl, when they arrived, all eyes were on them. We seen a little girl tugging on Princess' dress looking scared. I never heard of Princess having a child, but damn lil mama looked exactly like Zoe. Zoe stared at the girl confused ,then looked at Princess , who didnt want to make eye contact at all.
"Who's child is that?" Zoe asked Princess. The room got quiet &'Princess ignored his question, which only made him mad. He got up and put Princess against the wall by her neck. "No stop , stop hurting my mommy stewpid bishh!" Alana said ,using the words she heard her mother say. Zoe took his hands off her after he realized he really was hurting her. "Lets go, Carter &' Pouca" Zoe said clenching his fist &' left the house slamming the door.
After all the tension died down, i put all the kids to sleep while so the adults can drink &' t'up without them. I kno i was drunked , my vision was blurry &' my words were slurred. Ari couldnt drink because she was still on the pain meds the doctor gave her to take for a couple of days. Everyone(except Ari) was drinking and having a good time.
Then Angel( Ck homegirl) started talkingg. "Remember when Ck told me the only way i could become part of his group i had to sh-sh-sh-shoot someone" Angel said laughing and studdering, clearly showing signs that she was drunk. Everyone started to look at her, and Ck was trying to shut her up before she said too much. Still laughing she said "Rayrayy... N-N-Nayy you remember right?...yall was right in the backseat." I didnt even have to energy to say anything, the liquor drained it all out. She continued "I pulled up right on the s-s-side of her then' POW POW' shot ranged out." She fell over laughingg like she was the funniest person alive. "Did she go to Winterhaven?" Ari asked trying to piece everything together. "Hell Yeah....I-I-I think all i kno is , she had her head down"and right when Angel said that she passed out. She knew Angel was talking about her, that day when she got shot after school while walking home. Ari looked beyond disgusted &' she grabbed the pistol i always hid , inside the vase and..................
