THE BLOCK (Urban Story)

18

"What ?! OH MY GOD ! I.. I..I'm ON MY WAY!" Shai yelled while crying and jumping up

Kareem looked at her with three heads "what's going on baby ?"

She could barely talk "please take me to the hospital"

He jumped up grabbing the keys as they rushed to his car

He looked over at how shaky she was as he pulled up "do you want me to come in with you ?"

She just shook her head "I'm fine, I gotta go"

He shook his head "wait for me, let me park the car and I'll be back in 2"

She jumped out and waited for him. He could tell she needed some support

Shai's leg tapped rapidly as she waited for a doctor to come out and tell her something

Dejah walked in shortly after with chubs and Marc

You could tell Dejah cried the whole way here and despite all that happened, Dejah and shai were still best friends

They hugged each other crying hysterically

Dejah pulled back "its gonna be okay"

Shai nodded "I know, he's strong"

Instead of sadness, chubs showed anger inside of him. He wanted to know who did this to his brother and why.

Marc rubbed circles in his back trying to keep him calm

An hour later the doctor walked out "he's lost tons of blood due to the gun shot wounds, one in his stomach and the other in his leg. When he passed out in the car, he went right into the light pole, it could've been a lot worst. He also has a fractured wrist. And due to the leg shot It's a possibility that he may not walk again"

Shai could do nothing but scream, tears rushed down her flushed face

Kareem held her, scared she passed out

Dejah just cried harder, she sobbed into Kells big tru religion hoodie, she had threw it on quickly in a rush.

The doctor spoke again "I'm sorry... he won't be awake for a while but soon as morning hits, he should awake"

Shai would've stayed all night if she could but chubs and Kareem had to fight her and Dej out the hospital.
...

Kells eyes blinked , he tried to get up but he couldn't, the restraints on him...

He began to yell, fighting trying to get up.

A doctor walked in calming him a bit

"Get me the fuck off this bed!!"

The doctor cleared his throat "I need you to calm down for just a minute"

Kells had no choice, becoming fatigued quickly

"After getting shot and the car crash, you have a fractured wrist, you are healing but we only got one bullet out as the one in your leg is far too dangerous due to its placement...... and for that reason you might not be able to walk again"

Kells eyes watered at the thought, all his memories flashed him. He now had a baby on the way, what if he couldn't walk with them one day. Shai, she'd be devastated. How had this happened?

A tear rolled down his eye. He didn't want to talk anymore.

"Your family is outside" the doctor said as he let the restraints off of his arms and walked out

A moment later they poured in

Shai smiled hugging him and crying "I was so scared ! I love you"

Kells nodded "I love you too" he said in a down tone

Dejah looked at the two reuniting on the bed before the two of them caught eye contact

Kells watery eyes looked away, all he could think about was the baby

Chubs hugged him as he whispered in his ear "who did this ?"

"We gotta talk later bro" he said lightly

"Can I have some privacy with Dejah?" He said which shook everybody

The room emptied within two minutes

She sat in the chair beside his bed

He looked at her "how are you?"

She let out a sound of exhaustion "I'm shaky but I'm okay, I was really afraid marquis"

He nodded "don't stress, please don't stress... for the baby"

She wiped a tear from the corner of her eye "I know, I know"

It was silent for a glimpse of time

"I'm scared, what if I can't walk again.... what about the baby?"

Dejah's eyes squinted in confusion "what about the baby?"

"How they gonna feel about a dad strapped to a wheelchair? I can't run with them , I can't-"

She sucked her teeth "stop, just stop! The baby... our baby is going to love you no matter what! They will love you wether your walking, running, standing or sitting still.... they will love you unconditionally no matter what happens in this life as long as you are there"

He nodded "okay, tell everyone leave I don't want to talk to nobody anymore today"

...

"Are you really gonna take it?" Marc said getting upset with Quentin

Quentin shrugged "I don't know, I'm thinking about it"

Marc shook his head "so what happens if you go to Mexico and never come back"

Quentin didn't say nothing, Marc was getting on his nerves... he just wanted to do for them

Marc spoke again "I just think you're rushing this and being ir-"

Quentin sighed "stop talking about it, damn man! Shut up!" He was annoyed

Marc got up and walked away "I don't know if you realized or not but I'm not one of your bitches and you're not going to talk to me like I am one"

Quentin shook his head and just didn't say anything "can't you see I got a lot on my head right now?! Damn you already know what I'm going through so don't bring me there !"

Marc got in his face "BRING YOU WHERE NIGGA ?! YOU AINT FINNA DO SHIT! WHAT YOU WANT TO DO ? OH THOUGHT SO!"

Quentin pushed him aside and walked out "I'll see you later Marcus, when you stop acting like a damn fool"

Chubs drove to the bar. He just wanted a couple drinks.... or so he thought?
