" a coma?" i thought to myself, how in world did this happen? The last time i saw her was when we were in the hallway together but it was just a quick minute. I sat that there silently until the doctor shifted his weight and stood up. "Uh , doc .... how did this all happen?" i asked instantneously, as i waited unpatiently for his answer. There was a long pause in the room , then the doctor sat back down and opened his mouth. " Well due to the X-rays someone must have had an altercation with her and brought a weapon" he said as he took another breath , " and from here to here looked like there may have been some type of knife that can only make that type of tear." The doc said pointing to Lacey's X-ray of her right lung. "So like a pocket knife or something?" I said trying to understand him , but its only frustrating me more. " Close , but no. Maybe like , a butcher knife." " A BUTCHER KNIFE?" i repeated but more loudly and demanding. " Yes a butcher knife , and looking here at her left lung , she better be lucky it didnt punch a major vein because otherwise it would have filled her lungs with blood and she would have died on the spot" He said pointing to the wound that was close by a vein. The sound of his beeper started going off and the name " Dr. Alexander-Herendez " came on the monitor. He looked up at me and thanked me for my presence and time and that he must be going. He left me there , with my head hanging down , thinking " what if that was me?" All i could do was cry , Lacey the only girl that likes me for me and not for my fame or money. The only girl i feel i can be myself when i'm with her , and deep down i love her so much but its to hard to tell her. I dont know why but it is , she gives me butterflies everytime i'm around her. And for me to see her like this , breaks me. I grab my jacket and kiss lacey on the lips , then headed home. I have school tomorrow and i dont know how to make it through.

The next day I went to school silent then I had ever been before. India and Tiffany saw me and ran to my need. " Chrest what happened?" India said worried. " Lacey is in a coma..." i said in a low tone with my head down not trying to reveal the tears. " WHAT ?! MY GOD NOT LACEY!" Tiffany barked now crying as hard as India. " wait , she can't be, she was going to meet up with us yesterday for our dance practice" said India with tears in her eyes. " I'm sorry Indi , Tiff but she is in a coma.... someone stabbed her in both of her l-lungs and stomach." I tried getting out without tears coming down my face , but that was a fail. We were all late to class but soon got a pass from our teachers and met up with each other in the student center. " So did you two ever see her yesterday?" I asked without hestitation. " No, all I remember was when we came out the stairs we saw Stephianie and Jasey running down the stairs like they stole something." India said scratching her head in confusion. " It looked like Jasey had blood on her but i thought she came on her period or something!." said Tiffany with a stank look upon her face. My eyes widened as I looked at both

of them. " If Stephianie and Jasey was running like two fools down the stairs , and according to Tiff they look like they had blood on them , then maybe they are the ones that stabbed Lacey!" I shouted. " But both of them had blood and maybe only one person stabbed her, As someone was holding her back?" said India with a smirk on her face. Tiff's face and my face had the same "The hell?" expression looking at India. " Well i guess someone watches CSI " I said laughing at India , " Shut yo ass up!"

she said laughing as well. For the whole day all we did was get passes from our teachers and meet up in the student center. During fifth period we saw Stephianie and Jasey in the student center. " Look " I whispered pointing to them in the corner. " Ooo I just wanna rip they weave out! Dumme Schlmape! " ( Stupid bitch) Said India in a furious tone, " Since when yo dumbass speak german?" teased Tiffany " what? Lacey taught me " spoke India.

I got up and made my way over to Stephianie and Jasey. India and Tiffany followed close behind. Stephianie looked up in confusion and terror at me walking her way. " Can i help ya'll with sum?" Jasey said while her head remained down looking at her phone. "Why yes, yes you can help us with somethin' Jasey" I replied to her ignorant question. " What the hell ya want then?" she said in a snobby tone. " BITCH LISTEN HERE OKAY , I WILL FUCK YO SKINNY ASS UP, LOOKIN LIKE A PILE OF BONES, BITCH DONT CATCH NO DAMN ATTITUDE--" India covered Tiff's mouth so quick that Tiff was still talking into her hand. Stephianie and Jasey stood up like they were about to fight. "Sit down, we all know you two aint about to bust a grape, so sit back down" I said lightly pushing them back down. I turned around looking at Tiffany making sure she was okay. " You good bruh?" I asked lookin at her with the "Not now " face. India removed her hand slowly from Tiffany's mouth and looked at her waiting for an answer. " Man.... Yeah im gucci fam, let just get this shit over with" Tiffany replied. " Okay, since thats died down.. I can i ask yall a few questions right quick" I turned around looking at the two african Safari lookin ass animals behind me. " You wasting my time" Jasey said pulling out a nail filer. " What happened between Lacey and you two?" Said India beating me to the punch. " Nothing happened, but some.good ol' country ass whoopin" Stephanie smiled.

" Why did yall fight is what im asking" I said now getting pissed because these bitches is pushing my paitence. " Listen , imma make this shit short and simple .." Stephianie stood up " Ive been wanting to slice that lil bitch for years, and i finally had my oppertunity to cease the moment. so now that you've gotten the answer you were looking for? I suggest all three of yall muthafuckas back up outta my face before I get to poppin out on yall in this Library. " Stephianie said getting really close to my face. We were damn near about to kiss thats how close she was to me. And did my stubborn ass move? Umm hell no. I threw my hands up and backed away from them encouraging India and Tiff to do the same. We started to walk away when we heard Jasey say something. "Oh and one more thing Chresanto , I cant wait to see Lacey in her nicely furnished Casket." She spoke with a sinister tone followed by smiling. Her and Stephanie started to laugh thinking it was funny. I be damned if i let this shit go down i thought. I turned around and walked back over to them with my fists clenched up. "Ohh no, santo , dont" India said running after me with Tiffany trailing behind. They caught up to me before i could even lay a finger on them . My emotions were everywhere, i didnt know what to do or where to go from that point. " ON HOOD YOU BETTER BE LUCKY THEY HOLDIN ME BACK , OR I WOULD BEAT THE FUCK OUTTA YALL UGLY ASSES, LET ME GO YALL LET. ME. GO" I screamed , now with everyone lookin at me in the library in shock. From afar i could see the librarian walking towards us , so i calmed down. " Oooo Youre so sexy when youre mad.." Stephianie scoffed winking at me with Jasey blowing kisses. " C'mon santo lets goo... now " India said softly pulling me back. They dragged me out of the library and into the hallway. " I know you were mad in there , but you have got to remain cool in here, these ops in here are all over you " Tiffany said putting her hand on my shoulder. Well i be damned coming from you i should say the same thing i thought to myself. "Man when lunch comes , im out this bitch , if yall need me ill be at the hospital with Lacey" I yelled walking away from them leaving them looking stranded when the bell rung. As far as I'm concerned I just want Lacey to be in good health before anything . I said silently to myself while walking out the door of Howard Central High School.
