The Saint & The Sinner

CHAPTER 10

This is a very important chapter, so it's going to mostly be in Armani's point of view, but close to the end, it will end in DeAngelo's and Malaysia's point of view.

Armani

     There was this gust of wind that shot past us rapidly. DeAngelo's face expression changed and it scared me. His face had gotten darker and his eyes turned cold and black.
     "Go under the water and swim to shore now. I'm right behind you!" I dove into the water, and swam my fastest to shore. The salt water was disgusting as the uninvited liquid shot into my mouth everytime I opened my mouth to breath. I turned around and DeAngelo was hot on my tail. Due to the fact that the water was clear, I was able to see a thin trail of blood following him. I stopped, and swam back over to him. I wrapped my arm around him, and swam with him to the shallow end.
     "Malaysia!" I screamed. She and Kai both directed their attention toward us, and finally caught on to what was happening.
     "Go. Run!" DeAngelo demanded, but I wasn't leaving his side. I was unsure of where he was bleeding from, but I passed him over to Kai and stood on the other side helping him.
     "My keys are in my back Malays-" I hit the sand in agony and pain. I touched my arm and there was blood leaking uncontrollably. "Ughhhh !" I screamed. People we're now scattering around and screaming for their lives. I cried and held onto my arm trying to gain strength to stand up.
     "Fuck!" DeAngelo hissed as he kneeled down to help me up. "Kai nigga carry her. I got myself." With that I was swept off my feet. Malaysia grabbed all our important things, and we all made our way to the underground parking lot trying to avoid bumping and colliding with people.
     We all pulled into my car, but I was thrown in the backseat with DeAngelo. Good thing my seats are leather, because we were both bleeding bad. I cried in pain and held onto my arm. I never wanted my mother so bad before, but right now I wanted her bad. I had to be tough and get though this.
     "Keep applying pressure to it Armani." Malaysia stated crying hysterically in the front seat. I know she's scared but it's just my arm.
     "Are you okay?" I asked DeAngelo through sobs. He silently nodded his head.
     " Yo De. Where you hit at boy ?" Kai asked taking his eyes off the road.
     "My shoulder, and that shit grazed my side kinda deep nigga." He remained laid there still with his head back as if he wasn't in pain right now.
     "Fuck it burn ! I don't care right now, this shit stings so fuckin' bad I wanna cry my damn eyes out!" I screamed.
     "Yaaaaaaas ! That's what I'm talking about. Curse your heart out good girl." Malaysia clapped loudly laughing.
     "Say another curse word and I'ma kick you out the car myself." DeAngelo threatened in a playful tone. I laughed off the pain and his comment.
     "Can we get to the hospital already! I yelled at Kai.
     "We here. We here. We here. Calm ya chick down De." I rolled my eyes.
     "I'm nobody's chick now get me to the emergency room."

...

     I sat in the hospital room bandaged up, but as I sat there I could only think about DeAngelo and the lecture my dad is going to give me once he got here. They called him once I was out of surgery. They had to remove the bullet out of my arm, and clean my womb before bandaging me up. The nurse walked in, and I jumped up.
     "What room is DeAngelo in ?" I asked anxiously.
     "I'm sorry honey, but I can not give out personal information unless you're family." I rolled my eyes.
     "Please?! He's my boyfriend. I just need to know if he's alright that's all. Please ?" I asked hoping she would believe me and give in.
     "Room 4-22. He's alrig-"
     "Boyfriend ! Who?" I jumped to the sound of my father's voice booming through the hospital room.
     "Father calm down please."
     "I'll leave you two alone. Here are your antibiotics." I grabbed them from the nurse and sat them beside me.
     "What the hell happened to you and what do you have on ? This is not you Armani. Explain what in the devil's name went on today ?" Do it Armani. Say it. Don't hold it back.
     "I was being me dad. I was hanging out with a few friends, and a boy I've recently met because I wanted to. I wanted to have fun and enjoy myself like I've always should have. I so happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and got hit in crossfire." I explained.
     "Who are these friends and who is this boy you speak of ?" He was furious with me, but so was I with him.
     "I do not have to tell you about my personal life, because I know you will try to run that too. And you know what. You can disown me whatever, but I will no longer let you control me or my actions." It felt really good to actually speak my mind.
     "Well if that's what you wish then fine. You will not affect me with your sins. You will take that up with higher authority. But I'll tell you one thing Missy. You will not live under my roof and not follow my rules. That is the Lord's house I live in and I will not have you sinning under it." My mouth dropped, but I sucked it up and put on my pokerface.
     "Rules ? I didn't have rules, you fuckin controlled my every move ! Everything I've done was because you would have wanted to do it. I've never thought or done anything for myself. You know what, you can leave now. I really don't want you here anymore." I announced turning away from him. There was a silence in the room before I heard the door open and close. A slight whimper left me mouth and tears flowed heavily down my face.
