Continuing from previous chapter ...
The halls that were once filled with silence from testing is now filled with commotion from the altercation between the four girls.Legend stood there taking in the scene .. still trying to piece together what he was witnessing .. he haven't seen this much blood since .. "Everybody go back to class!" The assistant principals yelled throughout the busy halls . The ambulance soon arrived taking all the girls to the hospital . " you not goin to the hospital man?" Travis asked " aye real shit you go there so much they know all yo information " he said trying to lighten the mood .
Grabbing a cigarette from his pocket he flipped the Kools box and held the carton with his lips partaking the thin stick . " damn I hate when you smoke, you about to have cancer breath and shit.. text me when you wanna say something because I choose to be drug free" .
" but you was just smoking a blunt this morning" legend dry laughed.
" k' one it wasn't a blunt it was a roach , two Mary Jane is not a drug it's a herb do ya research"
" but you smoke it using as an advantage to relieve stress right? " Legend responded blowing the thin smoke in the air . " yeah"
" then it's a drug, anything you use to try to relax you and take you from reality for just a moment is a drug. You have yours, I have mine."" yeah aight whatever. I bet you googled that shit to"
" you goin to this hospital with me?" Legend asked. " Hell na that ain't my fiancé or sister, I'm a family friend- not family a nigga gotta pass"
Legend laughed shaking his head at his foolishness, but honestly he wasn't too rushed to head to the hospital either.. he had a future to uphold and though he love the both of them , he needed to pass. Walking back to class the teacher stopped him " Ms. Thomas what you doin' ?"
"You can finish it tomorrow during your third period , you don't have much to finish and also I know your not in your right mind and I don't want you to fail Mr. Jaxon , so please - attend to your loved ones ." Smacking his lips he walked away, taking his keys out his back pocket he walked through the double doors in the direction of his car.
He was tired of this shit, Always something coming to take away from the happiness , couldn't even enjoy the last two official days of school. Resting his head on the steering wheel he breathed deeply. " God .. I know I'm probably the last nig- person you want talking to you, and I know I'm never supposed to question you so I won't .. but can you please just .. I just want some happiness .. please? Amen" smoking another cigarette he headed towards the nearest hospital , knowing that they were most likely there ." How may I help you?" The cocoa brown skin woman spoke with her smile shining from ear to ear.
" I have a fiancé and a sister here, Zyla James and Candice Kelly " looking up the information on the screen she promptly responded that " Miss James is in surgery, and Ms. Kelly is now in recovery"
" I will page the doctor on duty so they can speak to you about the state of them both" nodding his head in understanding he quietly sat in the waiting room . To wait. Rubbing his hands down his tired face he became sleepy.
