Silent Rooms

The room was full with cold air, emotionless.
Silence took over the room even more

Kia sat in the chair, dried blood in her hands, tears running down her face.

Jamal and Becky stood there, as if they didn't know what to do next.

Cookie and Lucious walked in the room, spotted Jamal and walked toward him immediately but were quickly stopped by bodyguards

"That's my son, I need to speak to him" Cookie says calmly as she could.
The officer nods his head and let's the old married couple pass him

"What happened?" Lucious asked

Silence took over the room once more.

"Hakeem..." Kia starts

"He..got.." Kia broke down, started crying once more, Jamal tries to comfort her but got a push in the face in return.

"He what?" Lucious and Cookie questions

The doctor walks from the long hallway

"Family of the patient?"

''Parents" Lucious answers truthfully

The middle aged man signals the two to the corner for personal and private space.

It was silence once more before you hear the small cry come from cookie's mouth.

Kia stands up and walks to the doctor who was heading back to where ever he came from

"Is he okay?" Kia ask in a whisper

"That is not information I can pro-

"HE IS MY BOYFRIEND" The young girl yelled

Luscious walks to the younger girl and states "she's family, becky as well" nodding to the other woman sitting next to Jamal

The doctor sighs and starts to speak

"He's not doing so well, the bullet traveled to the back of his brain, we are doing the best we can"

"Thank you" Lucious says while going back to stand in the corner

Jamal stands up and walks to the younger girl

"We're going to get-"

'Get off of me!, It was your fault!" Kia yelled once more

"You and that Aaliyah looking bitch!"

"Kia, calm down please..." Jamal says calmly

"No!, I wanna know what you two were planning"

Planning? Wh-

"The fucking Betrayal game crap"

Jamal face turns into shock "I-I"

"Shut up up both of you!" Lucious cuts in

"My son is dying, hell he might be de-"

Lucious couldn't bring those words to his mouth, even though they weren't in a great place doesn't mean that he didn't love his son.

The arguing stopped at that moment and once again silence returns.

"Where is she?" Cookie ask, refering to Liyah

"I-i don't know" Jamal answers

"She didn't get arrested?"

She left right after she shot Hakeem" Becky finally says

"But police are looking for her" Jamal says

Right when Jamal said those words, a police officer walked into the waiting room

"Lyon family?" Starts the police officer

"The suspect is in custody, but we do need all of you who were at the scene to come to the station, not at this moment but tomorrow evening at the least." He finishes

The Family say thank you to the officer and he walks off. Kia stands up and heads off towards the door

"Where you going?" Cookie ask

"To get that bitch a piece of my mind"

As Kia starts to walk out the doors of the hospital

The doctor walks out once again but with a faint look on his face

"I don't know how to put this but we are not sure if he's going to make it through the night"

The family stares at the man, silently trying to understand what he just said

"What do you mean?" Jamal ask quietly

"If what we are thinking is right, this is the best time to say your goodbyes, I'm sorry." The doctor walks off once again

Kia creeps back to the waiting room, after hearing what the doctor has said, she breaks down once more. Jamal, Becky and Cookie does the same.

Lucious stands there with a blank look on his face

Silence took over.

The room stays like this until, phones start to ring around the waiting room

The Lyon family looks at their phone to receive the same message

this is only the beginning, this is where the real game starts..game time bitches.

I'm sorry if there is any typos, i just wanted to post something..love y'all
