Shuntira P.O.V.
We all ran in as Takyhia got out of the ambulance truck. We followed behind them. "We have a teenage girl stabbed in the back about 10 minutes ago. She's in critical condition and loosing alot of blood." A paramedic said rolling her in on a gurney. They brought her in a room. "You guys can't come in here, please wait up front." A nurse told us. We sighed in defeat and told the front desk to let us know if any information came up on Takyhia. We had been waiting so long and everyone is starting to get mad. Brianna stood. "I'm not finna stay here I don't like hospitals I'm finna go get us some food." She said before leaving out the hospital. "Wait I drove you!" Angelo said rushing out to get her.We stayed behind and no one spoke. Essence held her head in her hands. "We should've just walked away from that bitch and took Kyhia with us. Then we wouldn't be in this position. If Cory gone have hoes tryna kill her over him then they not gone be dating." She said under her breath. Cory looked over at her. "So you think this my fault. Ian want her to be in here. And I will protect Kyhia so nothing like this never happens again." He shook his head. "Whatever if we have another problem yo ass won't live for another speech." Jakierah said. "You throwing threats? Cause me and my niggas don't take them well." He stood.
"I dont give fuck what you and ya niggas dont take well. What you gone fight a girl? I don't care. I actually think it's funny how you take my threats serious and I'm a girl. I got fucking cousins to handle you so Ian even worried." She said standing too. "Y'all both needa calm the fuck down damn Takyhia in there and y'all arguing." I rolled my eyes. They making my head damn hurt. "I'm going out for some air." Jakierah said walking out. "Cory send one of your boys out to make sure she okay." I told him. We sat in silence the rest of that time when everybody came back in you could feel the tension. "Man what's taking so long." Brianna said getting frustrated. "For real." Essence said.
Brianna got up and went to the desk. "She sending the doctor out." Brianna said once she came back. A couple seconds later a man cane out. "Family of Takyhia Mcmeans?" I then remembered we hadn't called her parents. Just then they ran in on que. "Where's my baby!?" Takyhia's mama yelled. "Excuse me are you Ms. Mcmeans mother?" The doctor asked. She nodded. "Alright well Takyhia was in critical condition but she pulled through she will just need a spine brace. She has to keep it on for 3 months and can take it off after but she will need physical therapy afterwards so she can heal fully." He told us. Everyone understood.
"When can we visit her?" Essence asked. "Visiting hours are closed you may see her tomorrow at 7am to 8pm. She may be discharged in two days prior." He told us before leaving. We left and the ride was quiet. Not that it was tension anymore just wasn't nothing to say. It felt different without Kyhia she was the loud mouth one, the gossiper, and messy one. It wouldn't have be the same had Kyhia not pulled through. I walked up the steps to my floor.
I saw some guy blocking my door. "Excuse me?" I said nicely. "My bad just I notice your cute face lived around here and I finally became man enough to make a move. I'm Chris what's ya name ma?" He asked licking his lips. "Shuntira. Now move." I told him. I wasn't fucking wit niggas for real because D crazy ass was enough. "Ma no disrespect but I see you walking around wit that clown ass nigga harassing you. If you was mine or you hung wit me you wouldn't have to worry bout that." He said moving out the way. "Okay thanks for the bull shit ass game you was spitting but I'm gonna go to bed now." I said before walking into the house and double locking the door and sliding the two bolts. Never too safe out here.
Takyhia P.O.V.
I woke up in a room with all white walls. I look to the side of me to see an iv in my arm and monitors beside me. I pulled them out because that shit like really hurted. I sat up looking around before touching my back and feeling a huge bandage. I then remembered what happened until me ending up in the hospital. A nurse walked in humming. "Oh your awoke." she said leaving food on the bed tray. She called the doctors and they came inspecting me. After all that bull shit was over I fell asleep but best believe we gone get some revenge on that Bitch that stabbed me.The next day.....
Jakierah P.O.V.
Today Friday and it's a party today and we're going but we kinda feel bad because Takyhia can't. We were all gonna visit her before going. I was thinking about how we should get jobs since we bout to graduate and we don't got no car. We all have license though. Me, and Bre met up before going up to Shun's and getting her as we went to get Essence. We decided we had to stick together if we was gone be out in the streets of Detroit more often. We got to sleep longer because we were riding the bus and I had a knife on me just in case shit pops off believe me I'm not one to be a pussy but out here shit get real and I have to be prepared. Every body got on the bus but Shun got trapped in by some Brownskin guy. Brianna and Essence sat together I was about to talk to them until Puerto Rico ass decided to get in the way. I sighed about to say something but sided against it.
