Maria's POV
I looked towards Jefferson and gave him the signal to turn down the music.
"Guys I think we should throw a party." I said.
"Where? When? How?" Everyone asked.
"James isn't your parents leaving this weekend?" I turned to James (Reynolds).
"Yeah, but I don't se-oooooohhhhhhh I see where your going with this."
"Good. Jefferson, trusting your the best DJ, your in charge of the music, have a Playlist ready by Friday. (It's Wednesday incase I forgot to mention...) Three sisters"
"Yeah?" They said at the same time.
"Your in charge of food."
"Got ya."
"James (Reynolds) your in charge of the drinks."
"Kay" He answered.
(I really don't want to put this in here, but oh well)
"Mulligan your in charge of getting weed, ok?"
"Yeah." He answered.

Time skip to Friday brought to you by Maria Reynolds

I walked to James's (Reynolds) house, with the three sisters. I knocked on the door, knowing his parents where already gone.
James opened the door, "hey babe."
"Hey." I kissed him and walked in. I saw Jefferson had the sterio system set up and was playing the music on low, for now, and then I saw Mulligan.
"You got the stuff Mulligan?" I asked as I walked up to him.
"Yep" He answered.
"Good." I said.

Time skip to a couple of hours later

BANG! BANG!

Screaming could be heard through out the house and I looked away from the game I was playing. People started running and screaming, then I saw it, Lafayette laying on the ground, bleeding.
"LAFAYETTE!" I screamed as I stumbled up and raced toward him. I pulled out my phone as I reached him and called 911.

~lil bitty time skip~

I jumped out the ambulance and ran inside after the doctors that where taking Lafayette inside. A nurse stopped me at big double doors and pointed to the waiting room with a sad look on her voice. I instantly understood and walked over to a chair and sat down. I pulled out my phone and realized nobody knew where me and Lafayette went. I texted the group chat.
Maria: hey guys
Mulligan: WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU AND LAFAYETTE?!
Maria: Lafayette got shot at the party, I called the cops and now we're at the hospital
Mulligan: I'll be there soon, what hospital
Maria: Lin hospital
Mulligan: ok
I knew I was in trouble, Mulligan might kill me, even though he was at the party too.

Mulligan raced into the hospital with Hamilton, Laurens, and Burr behind him.
"Where is he?!" Mulligan asked/yelled as he stopped by me.
"Still in surgery..." I answered, holding back tears.
"I'm going to find out who shot him, and strangle the shit out of them! Wait shouldn't there be cops here?" Mulligan asked again.
I shook my head, "I already took care of them...please sit down and calm down, here's some water." I handed Mulligan a water bottle as he sat down next to me. Hamilton, Laurens, and Burr sat down in front of us.
We waited 5 hours.
6 hours.
7 hours.
"Maria?" An unfamiliar voice asked.
"Yes?" I looked up and saw a nurse. I must have dosed off.
"Lafayette has been for you, you may come see him." She said. I lept out of my seat and walked with her until I got to his room. As I opened the door, I felt fresh tears rushing down my cheeks.
"M-Maria?" Lafayette groaned in pain as walked over to his bed side.
"Yes, I'm here." I answered as he opened his eyes to look at me.
"Your clothes are bloody." He weakly laughed.
"Har har. I wanted to see you before I did anything else." I laughed with him.
"How's everyone else?" He asked.
"In shock, especially Mulligan. Hey I've got a question." I answered.
"Go ahead"
"Do you remember who shot you?" I asked.
"Yeah, I think it was Martin." He answered.
"K thanks." I said, I turned to leave and he grabbed my arm. "Send in Hamilton and Laurens, if their here. You, mulligan, and who ever else came can go kick Martin's arse once their in here."
I nodded and raced out of the room. I sent Hamilton and Laurens into his room and then grabbed Burr and Mulligan.
"Lafayette told me who shot him."
They looked ready to murder. We all turned towards the doors and ran out of the hospital. We ran to my house and I burst through the front door and we ran to my room.
I tossed Burr a pair of brass knuckles. I knew me and Mulligan wouldn't need them.
"Maria?!" I heard my little sister's voice behind me.
"Hey sweetie, go back to sleep, you've got school tomorrow." I said as I walked over to her bed and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
(Idk if Maria has a little sister, she will in this book tho)
I turned back around and grabbed my softball metal bat, then nodded to Mulligan and Burr.
"Let's go." I whispered to them. We raced out of the house (of course I locked the door) and down the street. Lucky I knew where Martin lived. I knocked his door. He answered it.
"Ah look who showed up. Here for revenge for me killing Lafayette?" He sneered/laughed as 10 more of his goons showed up behind him.
"Actually, smart ass, he's not dead. But we are here to set things straight." I growled at him.
Then I spotted James (Reynolds) and I knew we weren't going to be together after this.
"I see where your loyalties lay, James, we're through." I snarled. He looked at me with.....glad? eyes.
"You're so dead." I said under my breath.
"So you wanna fight?" Martin asked.
"HELL YEAH!" Mulligan yelled behind me.
"Mulligan, shut up, I've got this." I growled at him.
"But I wanna crack his neck in several different ways!!" Mulligan groaned.
"No. Now for what I want. I want you to cover every medical bill that Lafayette's family will have to pay." I said, turning back to Martin.
He laughed, "Ah sweetpea, that's a no can do. See when you shoot someone, you tend not to pay the fucking bill!" He raised his voice. I simply socked him in his nose.
"YOU WILL PAY THE BILL BECA-" A fist slammed into my jaw and sent me down. I looked up to see James (Reynolds) looking down at me with anger swirling in his eyes.
"You'll pay for that. Mulligan, Burr, don't kill no one." I growled as both of them laughed and attacked the goons behind Martin.
I grabbed my bat and stood up.
"Get your ass up Martin." I growled at him. He did.
