Aaliyah's POV

I was sitting in the room with Prod coursing his forehead as he breathed heavily through the mask on his face. He was still asleep from the trauma emergency surgery he had a couple of minutes after arriving to the hospital.

The quietness in the suddenly changed into a stamped of footsteps rushing down the hallway. I peeked threw the door and saw Diggy, Tia, and Prince running to the front desk.

"Where is my sister!?" Diggy yelled in panic.

"Excuse me?" The nurse said.

"The the patient that was just rushed in." Tia said.

"We can't allow more than 3 visitors in at a time. And there's already someone in there."

"I don't care how many people are in there, I need to see her now!" Diggy barked.

"Guys I'm okay." I said as I stepped out the room.

Diggy ran to me and hugged me tightly.

"Thank God you're okay!" He said.

"You scared us all to death." Prince said hugging me and kissing my cheek.

I smiled.

"I'm fine. But I can't say the same for Prodigy."

"What?!" Tia said.

"Someone tried to kill him by making his car fall on top of him. He was stuck there for hours, thats why he wasn't at school. I had to make sure he was o-"

"What did I tell you about staying away from those Crimps?!" Diggy snarled.

"If I wouldn't have went looking for him he would probably be dead right now!" I snapped back.

"Who cares about him?!" He barked.

"Diggy!" Tia gasped.

"No Tia, she needs to hear this. All he does is cause trouble and problems that I have to fix. He lies, he cheats, steal, drinks, does drugs, and everything else in the book. He's a worthless price a shit that the world is better off without." He roared.

His words ripped my heart out and tore it to pieces. I felt tears forming in my eyes so I ran off.

"See what you did." Tia said to Diggy.

"Aaliyah wait!" Prince said chasing after me.

I continued to run until I was outside. Where I sat down on the concrete and cried.

"Aaliyah, I know Prod might seem like the only person that matters to you right now, but Diggy is right. Prod is no good." Prince said as he sat down beside me. "He doesn't know how to treat or keep a lady, and you need someone whose gonna treat you right. Like-"

"Like you?" I asked cutting him off.

"Well now that you say it."

"Prince I know you love me, and I love you too. But honestly I can't see us being anymore than friends. And it hurts me that you can't see how happy I am with Prod. No he's not perfect, I don't expect him to be. But I love him regardless of what anyone says. You, Diggy, no one knows the details of our relationship, so don't judge or point out his wrongs just to make yourself look better." I said as I wiped my tears away and stood up.

"And as my friend, I expected you to support me no matter what my choices are." I said before walking back into the hospital.

I walked straight past Diggy without saying a word to him. And walked back to the room. The door was wide open when I got to it but I didn't pay much attention to it.

Prod's POV

I woke up with bury vision, only remembering a few things. I knew I had gotten hurt, but I don't know how. As my vision cleared up, I saw Aaliyah beside me with a beautiful smile on her face.

"Hi Prod." She said.

I smiled up at her.

But there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Aaliyah said.

Roc walked into the room.

"I didn't mean to interrupt y'all. I heard about Prod and came to see him." He said.

"It's cool. I'll be back in a minute." Aaliyah said as she kissed my lips before walking out of the room.

"How you feeling playa?" Rod said in a teasing tone.

"Not to good, but better than earlier." I said sitting up a little.

"That's good. Its crazy that this happen to you all because of some girl."

"Aaliyah's not some girl Roc. Its something different about her."

"Don't tell me your in love with her."

"I-I think I am..." I said.

"Prod, this girl has changed everything about you! You don't even hang out with ya boys no more and we where here first. Now you done got whipped and your ain't yourself."

"It's not like that. I just really care about her and I know she deserves better than me. So I'm trying to better myself so I can stay with her."

"Man whatever. She just another booty call, she can't mean to much to you since you still with Erica." Roc snarled.

"You don't know anything out me and Aaliyah, your looking from the outside in. I care about that girl like crazy, and the only reason why I haven't let go of Erica is because I haven't had a good time to do it. When you find someone you love and care about you'll understand but until then, shut the hell up." I said.

"Yeah okay." Roc said as he headed towards the door.

Aaliyah opened the door before Roc could get to it.

"Oh and I'm sorry about earlier Aaliyah." Roc said before walking out the door.

"What happen earlier?" I asked her as she walked into the room.

"He was just being a jerk, but he apologized so I'm good." She said as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Okay." I said smiling.

Aaliyah leaned in to kiss me but I stopped her when I saw Erica at the door.

"Hey Erica." I said.

She just slammed door shut and Aaliyah quickly turned around to face her.

"I knew you where cheating on me Prod. But I just didn't want to believe it." Erica said slowly walking toward us when she pulled a gun out from behind her back.
