JacCpot

*IK Smoke Shop*

So me and Politic pull up to the shop and as soon as we step foot in there my heart dropped to my ass. It was like magic. The homie Arthur was right there in front of my face. A few months back when I was out here he got shot..

*Malik's Flashback*

"ight JacCpot Ima catch you later !"
"ight bro stay up"
"ight outta here"
Malik drove off in his Tesla. He just dropped off Arthur aka JacCpot and Skooter. Malik was left with himself and his two other friends Coupe and Nini. 20 minutes passed, they all made it to Coupe's house safely. They all walk in the house and take a seat on the couch. As soon as Malik sat on the couch he got a phone call from his friend Skooter.. they were shot. Malik and his two friends jumped up from the couch immediately and got right back in the car. They drove exactly to where Skooter and JacCpot got shot. Malik almost crashed before he got there because he was just out of it and didn't know what to do. At any second he could lose his friends. When they pulled up to the scene they're bodies was just laying there, helpless on their last breath. No police, no ambulance, no nothing. Nini called the ambulance immediately with no hesitation. Coupe ran over to Arthur and help his lifeless body in his hands. Arthur was struggling to breathe. All you could here was Coupe telling Arthur "everything gone be alright bro stay in there." Malik just stood there in shock. He didn't know what to do. Skooter called over Malik, "Lik bro we gone be straight stop worrying so much its all over yo face." Malik felt a little relieved after what Skooter just said, but when he turned his head the relief was gone. To see Arthur basically on his last breath was heart breaking. Arthur was like Malik's little brother even though they were just a few months apart. They had been through so much.

The ambulance finally pulled up after what felt like forfuckingever. Lik, Coupe, and Nini watched as they loaded Arthur and Skooter in the ambulance. When they drove off the three of them got in Malik's car with blood all over them. They sat in silence until they got to Coupe's house. They changed their clothes, poor Nini had to wear some baggy ass sweats and a white tee lmao. Lik sat back on the couch with his head in his hands. He didn't know what to do at this point. It was so many thoughts racing through his mind but one stook out to him. Now look.. Malik. Malik Edwards. Likybo. He was with allllll the activities. That nigga will kill for anybody that meant something to him. Never doubt ol boy.

Coupe and Nini sat on the couch across from Lik. "Lik you good ?" Coupe asked. Lik sat there in silence. A few seconds went by.. "Get the 9 bro." Lik said getting up. "Nahhh Lik chill wit allat bro if you tryna get home tomorrow and not be locked up." said Coupe. "Cuh got the homies fucked up my nigga, this far from okay." Lik said, you could hear the hurt in his voice. "That's lil bro , shit not coo at all Coupe ! You know it ! I'll kill that fagget ass nigga ! Fucc em !" Lik said with tears rolling down his face. It hurt Coupe to see his homies like this. Although Coupe wanted to kill them niggas as much as Lik did, he knew how much time he would have to do in the Pen. He knew Arthur and Skooter wouldn't want them to go to jail over a pussy ass nigga.

"C'mon yaw we just finna go to hospital. I gotta thang in the car just in case somethin' get outta hand." Everybody got in Coupe's car and they drove to the hospital. When they got there Skooter and Arthur had already been through a quick surgery to get the bullets out. Skooter was placed into a regular room but Arthur was in critical condition. Skooter seemed okay, he got shot in his arm. But Arthur got shot in the stomach twice, its the grace of god that kept him alive. The nurse said nobody could visit Arthur at the time so I couldn't see my bro before I left Sac in the morning.

*The Next Morning*
Malik 💭

It was time for me to leave, I felt guilty that I couldn't see Arthur. I don't know if he was gonna make it or not. All I know is if he die, somebody else gone die too. Point blank period. I put my duffle bag full of clothes in my trunk and got in the driver seat. I did the dash back to Sacramento and that was the last I talked to him. Never knew if he was straight. Never knew if he lived. Felt like he wouldn't think of me as a homie no more. He never texted me but it was logical reason to it. When he got shot they ran his pockets and took everything. Plus I think he got a new number or whatever, ion know. But that's gone forever be bro.

*End of Flashback*

"Arthur !" Lik said with the biggest smile. "Lik!" Arthur said back just as happy. Arthur walked up to Malik and gave him the "handshake hug". "Bro its like I'm seein god for the first time, this shit crazy." said Malik. "Nah I thought cuh did the dash on me real quick!" Arthur said then started laughing. "Never that cuh, I had to leave for Sac the next morning to take care of some business. Bro I felt bad." Malik said getting serious. "It's coo Lik I understand, you was still lookin out for me wit Coupe and Nini. I know its all outta love." said Arthur. "Aye c'mon and smoke this wood wit me and Politic real quick." said Malik. "Ight here I come.."
