"Where is he? Where's my brother?" Nicole yelled walking through the hospital doors.

I was walking as fast as I could trying to keep up with her.

After we got the news we both hurried and threw whatever we seen first on and sped to the hospital. Since she was in no condition to drive I drove, she sobbed the entire time and almost made me shed a tear or two.

It was hard to believe my Bestfriend of ten years was laid up in some nasty ass hospital bed but I was trying my best not to think of the worst.

"Ma'am who are you here for?" The receptionist asked at the front desk of the hospital. She was a white, plump little lady with short blonde hair and rosy cheeks.

"Nicholas Parker"

The lady nodded, typing on her computer "Ok in what relation are you to the patient?"

Nicole's hand shook uncontrollably and I could tell she was becoming frustrated "I'm his sister" She pointed at me "He's his Bestfriend."

The lady looked at me then back at her "What relation is he to you?"

"Does that really matter?" I asked becoming frustrated my damn self. It shouldn't matter what relation I am to Nicole in order to see Nic.

"Sir its hospital policy that we know everyone-"

"He's my boyfriend and my brother's Bestfriend, anything else?" Nicole cut her off.

Boyfriend?

The lady sighed "One last thin-"

Nicole yanked her up by her shirt "Listen bitch I'm not about to answer anymore damn questions, y'all need to fucking tell me what's going on with my brother!"

I hurried and pulled her away and apologized to the woman who looked like she shitted on herself before pulling her lil ass out the double doors and outside.

"Was that fucking necessary?" I asked with my hands out.

She paced back and forth "She kept questioning me!"

She placed her hands on the top of her head still pacing "Dammit!"

"I know you frustrated and so am I but that woman got the power to kick both our asses out and we won't be able to see what's wrong with him at all." I caught her by her elbow "You hear me?"

She looked up at me with red, puffy eyes "I hear you"

I pulled her into my chest hearing her sniffing indicating she was crying again. She covered her face with her hands "I just wanna know who did this to him." She sniffed. "Who has the heart to shoot somebody like that?"

I didn't answer her question because I do it all the time.

"I wanna know too Nicole and I'm definitely gone find out."

After she calmed down a bit I took her back in and sat in the waiting room.

"Tae!" I heard somebody yelling my name.

"Taelor!" I turned, seeing Angela. She went to high school with Nic and I.

I got up and gave her a brief hug pulling her off to the side. "What's up Ang, you here for Nic?"

"Yeah last night he came to the bar and had a couple drinks and we talked a little. He noticed this man was staring and him so he soon left after that, right after he walked out I seen the man walk out as well." She stopped to catch her breath. "Not even thirty minutes later people were coming in saying somebody found him at a gas station passed out with gun wounds to his back. His car door was open and everything so it was obvious somebody did it and left."
