BREACH

Chapter 4

  The next day they released me and I went to check on KT. When I walked in,  she looked over at me and smiled. I didn't like seeing her with tubes in her nose and hooked up to those machines. That shit didn't sit well with me.
   " What's up bro?"
   " Sup fam?", she said weakly.
   " I just got released. I had to come check on you. I thought I lost you man.."
   " I'm good. Aint the first time I got shot."
   " When you get a little better we need to have that talk about what went down and why it went down but for now just rest. You need anything?"
   " Nah, I'm good."
   " Alright man get some rest. I'll be here when you wake up."
   She nodded and slowly drifted off to sleep. KT doesn't really have much family around. She has a younger brother who lives with her mom in Jersey. Her dad was killed in a shoot out, right in front of her. She was shot in the leg but she came out fine.
   She's always been my rider since we met. I've been her family. My dad peeled out when I was a baby. I don't remember him. As far as I knew, I didn't have any siblings so I was that loner kid. Shit, if we didn't think of each other so much as sisters, we would probably have been together.
   I went to visit KT every day. When she was able to leave, I helped roll her out the hospital and I brought her to my house.
   That night after I got KT settled in our downstairs guest room, we sat on the bed and talked about what happened.
   " We need to figure out who shot at us yo.  Like, this shit doesn't make sense..", I said looking at KT.
   " I saw a blacked out Jeep. I think I saw it before when we was hanging out at the cook out last month. I saw it again when we was at the mall 2 weeks ago but it was parked. Whoever drives that shit been following us.."
   " Did you see anybody who looked familiar?"
   " I couldn't make their faces out but I know that car anywhere. If I see it again, I'll try to get a closer look."
   "Are you beefin' with somebody?"
   " Not that I know of. We put that shit aside. You?"
   " No, not really.. I mean me and Chasidy ex got beef but she aint shit."
   " What's her name again?"
   " Quay."
   " Quay?..", she asked rubbing her chin.
   " I think I used to chill with her cousin back in the day. He had a friend that had a black Jeep.. It wasn't tinted and shit though."
   " Shit.. They could of easily got that shit fixed up."
   " Yo if she got something to do with this shit.."
   " I'll kill that bitch yo!", KT said taking the words right out of my mouth.
   " Let's not jump to any conclusions just yet. We need to get all of our facts right before we start blastin' fools."
   " Why would she want to shoot at you?"
   " We fought a little bit ago because I caught her upstairs with Chasidy when I got home from work. Honestly, Chasidy has been slipping seeing her. I don't know why it is, but this bitch is always popping up. She's always been a problem! Maybe she figures I'm in the way or something. Chas swears she loves me and only wants to be with me but she won't leave this bitch alone.."
   " Damn bro. Sounds to me like this bitch should have BEEN cut down. You told me y'all was having problems but I didn't know it was like that."
   " Yeah. She be like 'I'm loyal to her and I'm going to keep talking to her.' "
   " Sounds like you need to let Chasidy go. She playing you and I don't like that shit."
   " It's like if I give up and let Quay have her, I'll be giving up on everything. It takes drive to be in a committed relationship but I don't know. I'm close to being done. Like I can't even trust her no more."
