"Okay Tony, shut the fuck up." I rolled my eyes at his ignorance while sticking a spoonful of Cookie Dough ice cream in my mouth.

"You shut up, drop lip ass.", he called back while taking the spoon out my hand.

"Give me my damn spoon back Tony and stop fuckin' playin' with me!" I reached out for the spoon, but he stood up and held it into the air. His six foot stance was nothing compared to my 5 feet and 6 inches.

"Fuck it, bitch ass.", I replied.

A stinging sensation came over my thigh, implying that he had smacked it.

"Call me a bitch again and see what happen.", he called back, bending my spoon in half and handing it back to me.

"Bitch.", I stated with a straight forward tone.

He took the bowl out my hand and sat it on the coffee table before pinning me down on the couch and biting my neck.

"Owaah! Tony stop!", I called out, struggling to push him off. He refused to get off.

"Tony! Get off me!", I called out louder. His bite was starting to hurt and I was on the verge of shedding tears.

"Tony please stop!", I called out in a whimpering voice. He looked up at me, and started smiling. He kissed the place on my neck he was once biting, sucking on my skin.

"Stop playing.", I stated while mushing his forehead. My phone began vibrating on the kitchen counter, so I walked over and answered it.

"Yeah?", I spoke into the phone, to JJ on the other line.

"Get to the hospital now. KJ has been shot.", he stated. I dropped my bowl on the counter and ran over to the couch, slipping into my slides and grabbing my keys.

"What happened?", I asked while heading for the door.

"What's going on?", Tony asked. I motioned for him to follow me and then headed outside to my car.

"Jamerica, KJ and BJ were all out earlier today at the park and when they were about to leave, someone started shooting at them. Shit got ugly and when BJ got in the car and started pulling out, a shot went through Jamerica's window and hit KJ in the neck.", he replied through the phone.

"Alright, I'm on my way." I hung up the phone and pulled off, doing 80 the entire way to the hospital. God blessed me to where no police officers were clocking speed while I was on the road.

I pulled up to the hospital and parked, walking inside. Luckily, I had on a thermal and some sweatpants because it was getting a little chilly outside. Tony followed on my tail as we walked through the hospital doors, into the waiting room, where Jamerica, Trent, BJ and JJ were all waiting. I immediately rushed over to Jamerica and pulled her into an embrace. She was crying hysterically.

"They hurt my baby!", she called out, as the tears flowed heavily down her cheeks.

"He's going to be okay. KJ is a strong little soldier, he'll be okay.", I stated while holding her tighter. I eventually started crying to. KJ wasn't just 'like' a nephew to me, hell, that is my nephew. I love him so much and I want whoever did this to pay.

"Where's Nicole?", I asked Trent.

"Work, she said she couldn't take off.", he stated. I looked at him sideways before nodding my head. That doesn't seem like something Nicole would say at a time like this, but shit happens, I guess.

I looked over to BJ, to see an emotionless face. Assuming that he was trying to hide his emotions, I placed my attention back on Jamerica, trying to calm her down, but she wouldn't budge.
