In His Hood.

Chapter Thirty Seven - It Can't Be.

Avery's P.O.V

Watching as Vanessa's body fell to the floor I then ran over to where Zuri laid, lifeless.

"Baby." I quietly called out feeling a ball form against my throat with tears building in my eyes.

"Jordan, we got to take her to the hospital."

I panicked watching as he made it over to where I laid holding onto Zuri's blood filled shoulder.

"Fuck." I listened as he cursed out. "Vanessa an' Krystal both dead - We gotta get out here, where the baby?"

"Upstairs." I quickly assured him. "Take Zuri to the car, I'mma go get Aasiyah."

Quickly making it up from the floor I made it away from the living room area an' towards the staircase.

"Ave." I heard Jordan yell out before I could make my way on up.

"Wassup?" I quickly questioned as my heart sped up ten times the normal speed.

"She wasn't shot." We both looked over Zuri as she began groaning in pain while slowly moving. "It was just a graze."

I sent up a quick prayer thanking God.

"Zuri." I made my way on down to where she laid gently bringing her into my arms. "Baby are you okay?"

She was still unable to speak as her eyes remained closed.

"Baby." I called out a second time while gently placing soft kisses against her forehead. "J, go get Siyah - We need to fucking go an' get all this shit cleaned up."

I had to get my family away an' out of this house.

Too much shit had happened for them to wanna ever live in this house again.

Zuri's P.O.V

Laying in bed with both my eyes closed I groaned in pain trying to move but failed.

I was in too much pain an' completely sore on my left arm to even be able to move if I wanted to. It was like my arm had been ripped off then sewed back on.

"Baby." I sighed lightly on the inside hearing Avery's comforting voice as he gently placed his hand against my face.

I took in his sweet masculine scent while slowly opening both my eyes.

"Zuri." I focused on him as he focused on me.

As I just laid there I shook my head completely disappointed in his actions.

"Please." I calmly whispered not wanting to be touched by him. "Don't touch me."

I could feel my eyes fill up with tears.

"I never mean't for that shit to happen."

"Did you sleep with her?"

The one person I thought would've never hurt me, stabbed me deeply in the back.

"No." He quickly admitted. "I never fucked that girl - She just gave me head."

I remained silent knowing if I spoke I would've only said some shit that would lead to me killing his stupid ass.

"I swear to you that shit meant nothing." He continued. "I just want us to start over baby - A new home an' everything."

I looked around as he spoke realizing we weren't at home but instead we were both staying in a hotel suit.

"You cheated on me Aver--"

"Please don't hold this against me." I listened as he begged causing me to roll my eyes as tears left them. "Just don't leave me."
