MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 30

Chris' POV

We were almost in the NOLA.  I was on edge cause my mom & pops are not answering their phones. Chasity said they still haven't told her anything

"Aye nigga you need to pull over or something cause you're driving fast as hell. You look like you're bout to kill somebody," Mike said to me

"I will if my little brother don't make it & I find out who did this shit," I said

"I feel you & I got yo back. Here my nigga you need to hit this to take yo mind off of shit," he said handing me a blunt

"I ain't smoked one of these in a minute my nigga," I said truthfully since I've been with Imani

"Well my nigga that's why you been stressing. This that good stuff my mama had," he said lighting it & I looked at him

"The fuck, how can you smoke & drink with yo mama like its cool. I never got that," I said

"My mama always said she would rather her know about my dirt than to find out from somebody else. Plus she only does it once in a while cause you know she's a "saved" woman," he said taking a drag then handing it to me

"Yo mama kill me with that Monday-Saturday its fuck you, I'll beat yo ass. But on Sunday its praise the Lord & thank you Jesus," I said taking a drag still focusing on the rode

"Hey, like she says God knows our heart & we ain't perfect," he said taking it back from me

We drove the last hour or so to the NOLA smoking a few blunts taking my mind off this. When we got there I went to the house first to check on Chas but she wasn't there so I called. She said what hospital they we're at so I sped there leaving Mike to park the car. I seen my mama getting something to drink so I rushed over there   

"What is going on. Why ya'll not telling me anything," I asked getting hyped

"Chris calm down baby. what are you doing here," she asked me

"What you mean calm down ma. Where is pops & what happen to Lil," I said looking around

"I'm right here," pops said coming down the hallway

"Good, now what happen & is Lil alright," I asked

"We really don't know yet. We rushed over here as soon as we got the call. Who told you & how you get here so fast," he asked me 

"Chas called me & me & Mike sped all the way here," I said as Mike walked in the door

"Hello Mr./Mrs. Woods is everything okay with Lil," Mike asked but then a doctor approached us

"Family of Khalil Woods," the doctor said

"Yes, that's us," pops said turning towards the doctor

"Nice meeting you all, but good news is we were able to remove the bullet out his leg without doing any damage. He is up & alert. He's lucky the bullet didn't go anywhere else or hit a main artery, ," he said

"Ok, but can we go see him now," my mom asked

"In a little while, cause he is heavly medicated right now from the pain so he is kinda out of it," he said

"So is he going to make a full recovery," pops asked

"We have to take it one day at a time. With him getting shot in the leg that can cause some serious problems. Like losing function in it or resulting in us amputating it," the doctor said

"I'm gone find out who did this shit before I leave. I swear," I said pissed

The doctor got done talking to my parents & we sat & waiting in the waiting area until they gave us the okay to see Lil. Chas came up there with some dude. She's lucky this wasn't the place for questioning cause I would have pulled him to the side & interrogated his little ass. We were now able to see Lil. I wanted to go first cause they didn't want all of us in there at once
