A Day In The Hood

Chapter 5

- 10:04am
Crown👑

We had arrived at the hospital and James had went to the front desk to see what was going on with the boys as Mini and I sat and waited.

"Do you think when they see us here, they where stalking them" She asked me and I just laughed at her. "I think they'll probably think that we care" I say to her. "Yeah ok" She says as she strolled through her Instagram feed.

I just sat and looked at all the people coming in and out of the hospital. I haven't been to a hospital since I was born and I know I couldn't even remember that, so basically it felt like a brand new world to me. As I was looking around James had came up to us and just stood there.

"Grayson is good you can go see him Crown, but Randson there still trying to get him breathing" He tells us.

"What room is Gray in?"I ask as I stood up. "323" He told as I walked to the elevators.

Once I got thereI pressed the button and waited for it to come down. Once the doors opened I entered and pressed 3 for level 3. I was the only one inside so I had plenty of room to move. When the elevator got to the floor I stepped out and looked at the arrows that had room numbers on it.

The arrow pointed left for rooms 320-329, so I went left. All I did was go 3 doors down. I stopped at his door and knocked and then entered. He looked up from the tv confused but smiled afterwards.

I closed the door and then walked over to the chair that was at his bedside. "Why are you here?"He asked me.

"Because earlier you where there for me so I thought why not be here for you" I say truthfully. "You know wassup with my homeboy?"He say skipping the discussion. "They're still trying to get him to breath" I tell him.

I just saw him take a deep breath and then he looked at the ceiling. "Hes gone" He said out loud.

"You dont know if he is or is not. Dont say anything yet until they tell you" I tell him.

"They just trying to drag it out, but in all honesty Crown he is gone" He tells me as he finally looked back at me.

I got out of the bed and scooted him over and sat beside him. Be layed his head on my stomach and he just let it rest there. It was very quiet until the doctor came back in. Gray didnt lift his head just looked over at the doctor.

"Your friend Randson was pronounced dead at 10:33am. He died from Gun shot wounds to the head" He tells us before walking out the door.

All of a sudden I felt my shirt wet and I could tell it was Gray crying on me. "Its going to be ok Grayson it really is" I tell him.

"My Nigga since second grade just passed away on me. He has held me down since jhitt days and now he wont even be able to yell at me anymore for the stupidest things or give me the knowledge I need right now, now that im taking over" He tells me as he crys.

I just comb through his hair with my hands, until we heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" I yelled.

The door slowly opened and Grayson's friend Randson came in laughing as he held his patched up arm. "Dang you really love me" Randson said.

"Your a bvtch ass nigga. You had me over here crying thug tears for your ass and you werent even dead"Gray said sitting up, wiping his tears. I could hear the anger in his voice.

"That was for back in high shool when we did our first hit and you had scared me thinking you was dead too"He says.

Grayson looked at him and busted out laughing. "Yeah I remember that, I saw the video cameras of how you was on the floor crying and praying in the hospital" He said.

"Yeah now you know how I felt" Randson said giving him a bro hug.

"Yeah I do"He said as they let go.
"But ill let yall do yall. Ohh and James said if you not leaving with him now your going to have to take a cab home" Randson said as he closed the door.

"Ill walk home im good, but where are you bandaged up at" I ask Gray.

He lifted up his hospital gown and showed me how they had him patched up on his right side of his chest.

"When you get out?"I ask him.
"In an hour and when I do im going to to go shoot up a trap" He said.

"You can get hurt" I tell him.
"Its all business, you wouldnt understand" He tells me. "Yeah you probably right" I say as I layed back against his hospital bed.

"Ayye when I get out ill drop you off at home or you can learn how to tuffen up and help me shoot up some the place" He tells me as he looks back at me.

"That a dare?" I ask and he just smirked at me. "Ok ill do it" I say to him. He just put his head back down on my lap.

I just sat back and thought, 'Im going to die today messing around with these fools.'
