My Love In The Wrong Hands

Chapter 34

Jordan POV
"Skylar I can't ."

"Why?"

"I'm on my way to Lyric's"

"Nigga you always with her. It won't kill you to come take me to the store this one time."

"Girl go ask mom. I'm about 10 mins away from her place why would I turn around now."

"You ain't shit." She said before hanging up.

Reaching a stop sign I picked my phone up and clicked on Lyric name. I connected it to my Bluetooth in the car before I put it down and pulled off again. She didn't pick up, so I called three more times before leaving a message.

"Lyric I told you I was on my way. Why you not picking up. I'm trying to see if you want something while I'm out." I said to her voicemail before hanging up.

Finally reaching her apartment building I realized she needed to come open the door for me because of the lock on her building door. Getting out my car I started to call her but hung up when I saw somebody coming out the building door. I ran into the building after saying a quick thank you to the girl coming out .

I reached her door and was about to knock before realizing it was already cracked open which gave me an uneasy feeling because Lyric never leaves her door unlocked let alone open.

I opened the door and was meet with a  hell of a site. Lyric was on the floor with blood gushing out of her neck and mouth. Her eyes were very low and she was shaking. I saw a scarf on her coffee table so I took it and tied it around her neck to slow down the bleeding.

Without a second thought I picked her up and dashed out of her apartment. It's a good thing she lives on the bottom floor so it didn't take me long to get to the car.

I sat her on the backseat. "I need you to hold on for me Lyric. Please." I said as I got into the front seat. Speeding to the hospital it took me 15 min. to get there.
I got Lyric from the back seat and dashed into the hospital ER. By this time she was unresponsive.

" I need help. My girlfriends been shot in the throat ." I yelled. Nurses and doctors started running towards me. They took her from me and laid on her a bed.

"How did this happen to her sir ?" One of the nurses asked.

"I'm not sure ma'am. I found her in her apartment like this." I said keeping a close eye on Lyric as they rushed her to the back.

"Okay well you can have a seat and fill out her paper work. " She said handing me a clipboard of papers. " I promise as soon as I get word on her condition I'll let you know. " She said with a small smile.

I mumbled a thank you before realizing I had to get in contact with her family.
I didn't want to leave her but I knew I had to get in touch with them some how and soon.

....

I banged on the front door waiting for someone to answer. I finally heard her mother yell hold on .

"Child why you knocking on my door like that ?" She asked yanking the door opening. Not even giving me a second look she started walking back in the house . "You know Lyric not here baby."

" Lyric's been shot." I all but yelled at her.

"What ?" She stopped in her tracks and faced me . "What happen to my baby?"

"I don't really know right now but we gotta get to the hospital"

"What happened to my child Jordan?" She asked this time with anger laced in her voice.
