Chapter Twenty-Two
“Melissa Jenkins” the doctor said walking into the waiting room.
“Yes” I replied standing up.
“Your brother Dre Jenkins is progressing very well. Where he got shot was on his arm and he lost a lot of blood. He’s seem to regain all the blood back and his wound is pretty deep. But the good news is that he’s fine and your welcome to see him now”
“Thank you so much” I replied while my face lit up in happiness.
I was with Carla and she look quite nervous.
“Come on, lets go and see Danny” I said.
She stayed in her seat looking down at the floor. She didn’t budge and she didn’t blink.
“Carla?” I called out her name.
She lifted her head up and looked up at me. As I looked into her eyes she seemed lost like she not herself anymore.
“Erm, Danny… we can… go and… see him now” I said slowly frowning because I was trying to figure out mentally what’s wrong with her.
“Oh… sorry I was in another world” she replied.
“Yeah I can see that. What’s on your mind? Is it about Danny?” I asked as I gently put my hand on her shoulder for reassurance.
“Erm… yeah. I was worried. I couldn’t imagine how he would of got into this mess” she said. I bent down to her level and gave her a hug. It seem like she didn’t really feel for a hug how she was hugging me back so I just let go off of her.
“Well Danny’s waiting for us” I tried changing the subject. She just kept looking at me, so I just walked off to the room Danny’s in and was going to meet her there. It was too weird and uncomfortable they way she looked at me. I don’t know why but it either making me curious or paranoid.
I opened the door and saw my precious little brother look outside the window onto his left while his lying down with a bandage around his arm. I made me have a warm feeling inside and I’m so happy that he’s okay. I watched his head slowly turn towards my direction and as soon as acknowledge I was standing watching him with a smile on my face he smile and said,
“Come in then big head”. I giggled to myself and the walked in properly leaving the door slightly open. I stood beside him and looked down on his poorly arm.
“Ohh Danny, what on earth am I going to do with you aye?” I said sarcastically. He laughed,
“Its honestly not what you think you know?” he replied.
“Well tell me what happened?” I asked.
“Well… me and my oldah was on the strip waiting for a come to collect us cause we had to ‘a mission’ and am too young to do the main part so I just have to keep look out. The job got done really quick so when I got home I found the heat and I was curious and I accidentally hit the trigger and it shot myself. I feel dumb because I know guns are dangerous. I guess I wasn’t thinking”
I was shocked, I was surprised to hear that story. I felt to cuss him but I thought about him and he’s in a hospital bed. Maybe I should allow him for now and when he’s better attack him.
“Well at least your okay now” I said trying to brighten up the tension.
“Course” he replied. It because a bit silent for a while and then Carla walked in.
“Finally joining us now” I said sarcastically. She didn’t reply and just walked in and sat on the chair.
I looked at my phone and saw a text by Jerome saying,
