The Drug Lord's Daughter

Chapter 2

It's the next morning and the alarm goes off at 6:10 A.M. and Gavon is the first to wake up. He wakes Chris up as usual and goes to the bathroom to take care of his hygiene while Chris finds his attire for the day. As he looks at himself in the mirror he notices a bruise on his left shoulder right beside the collarbone and instantly gets a replay of the previous night. He stands there- still as a statue- staring into pure blankness still not being able to accept the fact that be shot someone- let alone a girl. Chris walks to the bathroom and snaps Gavon out of his daze and says "Man get yourself together." Gavon and Chris start to brush their teeth (Chris' teeth always end up being more complimented because he was dark skinned) and Gavon notices that Chris changed his hairstyle. He went from having a "nappy ass fro" to a "curly whipshit" as Gavon referred it. Gavon changed nothing about his appearance, he stayed with his ponytail. By the time that they get finished getting ready for school Chris' mom (Gavon's step mom) came in their room and asked them if they had heard about one of the kids that went to their school, without knowing exactly who they shot last night they nonchalantly answered together "No."

When they arrived to Schooly Heights, the only subject going around the school was why Alyssa Morris, one of the most beautiful, athletic, most admired girls in the school ( which just so happens to be Chris' crush) had not come to school. Chris and Gavon's friends came up to them and bombarded them with questions hoping they would have known something more than what was really going throughout the school. "Do y'all know what happened to Alyssa?" "Alyssa Morris?" "Yeah bro, there's rumors going around that she was shot last night." Gavon shoots Chris a worried look and Chris shoots him that same look back and they both knew that they were thinking the same thing "Please don't tell me we shot Alyssa." "How many times do they say she was shot?" Gavon asked. "They say 3 times, some say it was more than that. Only her friends and her dad know the actual amount." As soon as Chris was about to ask if they knew what her dad's name was, the bell rung for 1st period to begin.

Throughout the entire school day, neither Gavon or Chris could function in class with the thought of them shooting Alyssa, Chris' crush since last year.

When they got home, Chris went into an emotional breakdown. "I can't believe we fucking shot her Gavon. WHY DIDN'T WE LOOK TO SEE WHO IT WAS FIRST BEFORE PULLING THE TRIGGERS!!? FUUCCKKK.... I have to find out what hospital's she's in. I HAVE to go see her. I have to know she's okay or I won't be able to live with myself."

Earlier that day while Chris and Gavon were at school, Tra'vell was going over the previous night and realized that he saw one of the boys that was in his room. As soon as he realized this, he went to the police station to report the face he saw. After he describes Chris to the investigator, he goes to the hospital with his daughter, in which she was not doing so well. "Mr. Morris, it seems that Alyssa here has fallen into a coma." Tears immediately rush down Tra'vell's face as the word coma slipped out of the nurse's mouth. "Can I please get some alone time with her." The nurse nods her head and walks out the room and closes the door. "Baby girl, I know you can't hear me right now but I saw who did this to you. Well, one of them." He starts describing Chris to Alyssa very detailed not really knowing if she could hear anything he was telling her.

"I found out where she's at. Gavon, come on. Let's go." They hurry and rush to Chris' car and he speeds off. Within 5-10 minutes they arrived at St. Lewis' Hospital and ran inside hoping to be able to see Alyssa. Chris was the first at the desk top, out of breath asking "Which room is Alyssa Morris in?" "And who are you to her?" "I'm...uh.. I'm her boyfriend." he said nervously hoping that this lady would let him in. She gave him a long stare then finally said "room 326. Second floor. Third door to your left." Chris ran and Gavon followed.

They arrived at Alyssa's door. With shaky hands, Chris grabbed the doorknob and opened the door. Gavon froze.. because not only did they walk in to Alyssa... "Chris..." Gavon whispered "That's him.... that's Tra'vell."
