Street Love - Sorry - Part two
Davontay Cole
I looked out the window as far as my eyes could see the constant beeping of the machine that was currently keeping West alive was all that could be heard besides the light taps of the rain begging to come in on the window pane.
I hadn’t even said goodbye to Aaliyah I didn’t want to wake her, I sent her a text to let her know where I was and told her to call me when she was awake.
The drive to the hospital was long, the hospital was only 15mins away from Aaliyah’s house but it felt like years with every tick of the clock I wondered if West’s life was slipping away, wondering if I’d get to see him alive, feeling guilty for not being there when he needed me.
When I arrived Trip was already there, his expression was blank as he sat lost in his thoughts, physically he was here but his mind was far away. When I arrived the doctor was in the room with West and he told me that for now he was in a stable condition but only time would tell if he’d make it out alive.
He had suffered some sort of injury to his head and was now in a coma, he could be in one for days, weeks, months or even years!
I sighed as I turned around and looked at Trip.
Trip- Someone has to pay for this!
Me- I know.
Trip- We should have been on top of this, we should have done what we always do which is take care of our business!!
Me- Look this is no time to be worrying about what we should have done, could have done, would have done! West is here in this hospital bed barely alive and we can’t change that!
Trip- But we can get revenge! I’m going to find out who did this to my boy right now!
He said standing up and heading for the door, but I got there in time and put my hand on his shoulder.
Me- You need to go home and rest man, it’s been a long night you need to go yard and chill and sort out your thoughts.
Trip- REST! WHILE MY BOY IS UP IN HERE HALF DEAD….
Me- So what the f**k are you going to do Trip? Where are you going to look, you have no names, you don’t know where they are and you don’t know who they are!
Trip- You’ve seen one of them!
Me- SO! I’m not running up and down any where tonight, I’m still trying to ease into my brain what has happened tonight!
I want whoever did this to West to pay as much as you do but we need a plan and we need to be realistic! Tomorrow we can pay a visit to this Rasharna’s crib and see what’s really good, until then relax…
Trip-Iiight but if your still on this leave it bullshit tomorrow I’m going after these mother f**kers without you! Cos we need to get on top of this shit Cole or it’s me or YOU next!
With that he left and I stayed with West a little longer before I decided to make my way home.
I needed to clear my head and relax so I decided to go to my crib out of the hood, it was the first time since Aaliyah went back home that I had decided to stay there.
