Remember where you came from

chapter 9

The next day

Chantel-

i woke up from a wierd dream about demdem. it was like he was on track but then somehow fell into something. he came back and i see that my life has changed. i was not scared at all its just i was worried. him being here really opened my eyes espically when it come to relationships. i think im starting to like him but i know he dont see me in that way so he my bestfriend

i walked downstairs and was looking around for demdem. it was 8 o'clock. i wake up early on days like this something was not sitting right with me. my car was gone so i knew he went somewhere but where.. i heard a thud at the door i ran over to the door and i looked out. i opened the door and saw demdem on the floor with a gun shot on his side. i started crying cause in my mind i couldnt some how find myself without him.

i ran to get my phone and called 911. i was holding him in my arms and looking at him hold his side. he was breathing heavy and carresed my face. trying to stop the tears from falling. "stop crying i dont want to see tears about me on your beautiful face" he said. the paramedics came and i seen that he blacked out or at least i hoped. they took him away and i went to shower so i can get this blood off me.

as i was in the shower i couldnt help but think about why he said that. i got ready to leave praying to god that he will be ok. i got in my car and headed to hosptial.  finally got there and started walking threw the door. i asked for what room was he in and they told me room 303. as i got in the elevator i got nervous just like how i was when i went to see my mom.

i  walked in his room and he smiled when i walked in. he was wrapped in a white bandages and tried to get up. ouch! he said in pain. i ran over to him and softly laid him back down. "dont move to much". i turned around to sit in the chair but was pulled by my waist from dem dem. i sat on the bed with him and i just had to ask. "i know this wont matter but what did you say that stuff to me about crying about you".

"honestly i dont know i thought i was gonna die and i didnt want you to cry over no broken boy" he looked so ashamed at that moment "i wasent crying over a broken boy i was crying over a healing man"

Demitruis-

ok so i was getting my money with my boys downtown. as we was getting ready to leave a black car came up and they rolled the window down. im thinking they want some stuff but then i seen the man wearing a red bandana around his mouth. me and my boys shook life. soon as i got to my car i got hit on the side. shit hurted like hell. i was going in and out of concisinous but i still managed to get to chantel house.

soon as i got out i was in no shape. i landed right by the door i knew i was gonna die. she probably still sleep. she came surprisingly. she started crying and seeing that made me upset. i didnt want her seeing me make more fuck ups and feel bad. i calmed her down then i blacked out. some say why i didnt drive to the hospital. truth is i felt like i didnt need to go.

i woke up in the hospital thinking that i cant mess up anymore. chantel man words cant explain how i feel about her but i know she dont want a nigga like me. she came in and i was happy to see her. i needed her close to me so i pulled her down next to me. she asked what i meant earlier but i was not about to tell her how i felt. i dont want to hurt like i was when my ex didnt give a damn. so i made up a lil sum sum.

the doctors came in telling me i can leave in a week and the police want to ask some questions. i didnt want to talk to the cops im not trying to have my head gone. i nodded and the cop came in he started asking what happened and all i said was i was walking at the park and i heard shots bit i didnt make it to my car in time. i said a park that was in the rich part of G.A so they wouldnt think im in some ish. they bought it and told me that there was nothing they can do. i sighed in relief and they went on about they business.
