Downfall. (Urban)

19 (Update #3)

One year later

Omniscient

Queen saw Dietrick's eyes open, and it made her jump back in surprise.

Lanisha became alert to her actions and got up. "What?"

Queen leaned forward, and pushed Dietrick's eyelid up, attempting to get him to do what he did before.

"You can't do that, babygirl"

Queen pouted, but listened to her mother.

Dietrick opened his eyes, and looked Lanisha up and down.

She was fixing the sheets.

Her eyes met with his, and he smirked. "Hey" He mumbled in a raspy voice.

"Dietrick! I-"

Boss stepped into the room, and fired the gun twice.

POW! POW!

Lanisha dropped to the floor instantly, and her skull cracked open.

Boss then pointed the gun at Queen, and fired once.

POW!

Dietrick didn't even remember moving, but his weak body flipped over to protect Queen, and the bullet grazed him hard.

Dacian stepped into the room, and shot Boss right in his own head.

POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW!

"Fuck!" He shouted, looking at the scene that had already unfolded in front of him.

Dacian gave Dietrick an apologetic look. "Sorry, bruh"

Police officers tackled Dacian, and somebody had the nerve to point their gun at Dietrick.

Blood dripped down his back, and the loud noises made Queen sob.

They took Queen away from Dietrick, and he started to cry himself.

He had only been up for five minutes, and the Downfall had already begun.

Dietrick was at his weakest, and the crying did nothing to help.

"Sir!"

Dietrick's head dropped, against the pillow, and nurses rushed into the room.

He was out again, and his heart rate never seemed to stop going up.

"No, I don't know the nigga that I shot, and I don't know the nigga in the hospital bed. I heard gunfire, and I went to check it out. I seen the dude that I shot pointing his gun at a damn baby, so I shot him. Nobody's baby deserves to die" Dacian knew that his story checked out.

"And what were you doing at the hospital?"

Sahri's grandmother was in the hospital, and he wasn't grateful for that, but he was grateful for the valid reason.

"My girlfriends grandmother is in the hospital and I went to visit her. Spend a little time with her, ya know?"

"Well you'll still be charged for carrying a weapon in a hospital building. But other than that, you're free to go"

"For why? Because I could've sworn that I-"

"It isn't your job to be a superhero. It wasn't your battle to fight, just go home, son"

That was bullshit to Dacian, but he got up and made his way home.

"That's fucked up how they put his baby in foster care like that" Dacian smoked a cigarette.

Sahri would ignored him until he gave her a sincere apology, and got tested.

"They took his baby from him?" Alora perked up as soon as she heard that. "But-"

"It ain't your business"

"But Dietrick has no one left now. I killed-"

"Who? And why?"

"I killed his girlfriend last year, and his babymama was the girl that got killed at the hospital"

The only two people that Dietrick had fully trusted had been wiped from his life.

And Queen was now in the system.

He was truly alone.

Dietrick had come out of his coma, but he had no one waiting for him this time.

"Why you kill his girlfriend?" Dacian instantly upset with his sister.

"I don't-. . . She wouldn't let me leave"

"That's bullshit because you could've left whenever. You know how to get out of shit" He lit a cigarette.

"Get the fuck out" He shooed his sister, and threw a stapler at her.

He got upset so quickly, because he imagined Sahri getting taken away from him over some bullshit.

"Come here" He demanded his girlfriend.

When she ignored him, he scowled. "I said, Bring ya fuckin' ass. It wasn't a request"

Sahri got up, and stood infront of Dacian.

He grabbed her butt, and pulled her forward, kissing her stomach. "I'm sorry, Sahri. This bullshit, that ain't even got nothin' to do with me, botherin' me like a mothafucka, and I'd be hurt as a mothafucka if I lost you like that"

"Papa" Sahri's face softened, and she sat down on his desk, deciding to forgive him.

He stood up, and leaned down to kiss his girlfriend.

Dacian wrapped his arms around her, and hugged her. "I love you. Real shit"

She sighed, and Dacian plucked her cheek. "Nobody told yo ass to be holding in all that air"

"I love you too, Papa" She wrapped her hands around his neck, and leaned forward for another kiss, which he happily gave to her.

"I think imma go see about Dietrick. Imma make sure that Alora's fucked up ass keep her distance though. That shit gotta be tough to go through, especially alone"

"That's nice of you, Dac"

"I was just putting myself in his shoes. I would want the same thing"
