"Why people always testin' me?" Bambi asked with a mug oh her face.

"It's cause you pretty bitch." Aerin made all of us laugh.

"Don't pump this coincided bitch head up." Angel rolled her eyes, as Bambi and Aerin high fived.

"Right." I agreed.

"Fuck both of y'all." Bambi pointed at Angel and I. "Don't you posed to be going home? Yknow Ryan got you on a curfew."

"Fuck youu." I laughed. "I would say something bout Ace, but clearly you're the man in the relationship, sooo.." I trailed off.

"Yknow what?" Bambi laughed.

"Nah. What?" I took a sip of my drink. "Hold up my baby callin'." I held my finger up.

"Told you it was past your curfew." Bambi mumbled, making me giggle.

"Hey ba-"

"Where you at? Ryan got shot." Ace voice boomed threw the phone in a panic tone.

"What? Where y'all at?" I push my chair back, standing up.

"St. Paul, St. Paul." Ace repeated.

"I'm on the way!" I hung up. "We gotta go Ryan got shot." I grabbed me my purse, throwing two hundreds on the table.

St. Paul Hospital

"What happened?" I rushed up to Ace in the waiting room, with the girls hot on my tail.

"I don't know. I don't know." He put his head in his hands pacing.

"Calm down baby." Bambi hugged him.

"The doctors ain't sayin' shit. I don't even know if he's alive." Ace cried.

My heart dropped, thinking about what if he was dead.

"JoJo!" Aerin grabbed me, as I got a little lightheaded.

Seating me in a chair, Aerin fanned her hand over me.

"Breath." She instructed.

"What if he is dead Aerin?" I cry looking at her. "I can't lose him. He the only one besides you that actually gives a fuck about me." I cried harder.

"He gonna make it." Aerin assured, rubbing my back.

"Family of Ryan Gibson."

Everyone in the waiting room stood up.

"Umm blood relatives?" The doctor questioned.

"I'm his brother and that's his wife over there." Ace pointed to me.

"I'm Dr. Dance." The doctor walked over to me.

"Is he okay?" A lump formed in my throat.

"I'm sorry-"

"Nooo!!" I cried.

"We tired everything to resuscitate him. We removed the bullet but he lose to much blood."

"You couldn't give him no blood or nun?" Ace said aggressively.

"I'm sorry."

Was all Dr. Dance said before walking off.

Later that night at Aerin's
house

"I didn't know you was married." Aerin grabbed my hand playing with my ring.

"I'm not yet well I guess I'll never will be." I sighed on the verge of crying again.

"Imma miss him." Aerin mumbled, letting my hand go fixing her pillow.

"Me too. I really loved him." I wiped my tears.

"Yknow? Now I can't roast you no more."

"Really bitch!!" I laughed.

"Yes I can no longer dawg you about yah man." She was legit mad.

"I hate you." I laughed harder. "Who think like that?"

"Me bitch." Aerin laughed with me.

"Thank you." I looked over at her.

"Don't I always got you? It's better to laugh than cry. Specially at times like this. I got yah back as long as you got mine."

"Forever and always." I wrapped my arm around her.

"Excuse me sir. Uhhmm can you remove yourself for this situation?"

"Did you just call me a sir?" I scrunch my face up.

"Yes young man I did."
