Nobody Knows

Chapter 22

~Dani P.O.V~

I sat on the edge of Cj's bed."What happened? " I asked grabbing his hand. I got a call from Maurice saying that Cj got shot and that he's in the hospital and so is Brooke. 

"Drew." I spoke dryly.  I sighed this is Why I didn't want him in the middle because of stuff like this. I didnt want for him to get killed.

"Cj I'm sorry,  this is why I didn't want to get involved with you I didn't want nothing bad to happen to you. " I took a deep breath. "And now your in the hospital because of me."

"It ain't your fault Ma. " He intertwined our fingers. "Don't blame yourself for his ass."

"I just don't want to see you hurt. " I looked down at the white floors. 

"I can take care of myself, but you need help Dani and I'm trying to give you that but if you push me away you'll lose everything and you know it." I snapped my head towards him.

"Are you trying to say that I need you?! " I snapped at him. "I don't if that's what you thinking."

"Dan-" The nurse knocked on the door and walked in.

"Hi,  your looking better. " She smiled at him then at me. "Are you okay? Do you need anything? "

"Nah." She nodded and smiled one last time before walking out. "Dani that's not what I'm saying. " I shook my head. 

"Ok." My head started to pound against my skull nd my hands started to get sweaty so I pulled my hand out of his.

"Dan-"

"I'ma go check on Brooke. " I slowly got up due to my head pounding right now.  I left out and started to head out to Brooke's room. I walked in and Maurice was on her bedside holding her hand. "She okay? "

He looked up at me. "Yeah,  she just needs some rest. " He took a deep breath. "I had a feeling she was being beaten at home but I never did anything about it. " He looked down.

"It's not your fault Maurice. " I walked beside him ."It's going-" Doctors and Nurses were rushing down the hallway with someone on a stretcher.

"Grandma! " My little brother was running down there with them. My whole body went numb

"Dani you good? " Maurice asked.  I ignored his question and speed walked to the door.  I jogged to where my little brother was running and followed him.

He finally stopped and went into this room.  I slowed down my running and started to breath heavy,  My head started to pound more as I got closer. I walked in the room to see all kinds of Doctors and Nurses surrounding her.  "What happened? " I asked my brother. 

He looked up at me. "I came home and she was on the floor unconscious so I called 911." He was freaking out. "I'm scared Dani. " I grabbed him and hugged him

"Me too. " A nurse looked up at us

"I'm sorry but you can't be in-" Before she could get her sentence out the flatline came.  I shut my eyes with tears falling. "I'm sorry. " I hugged my brother tighter.  I felt tear stains forming on my shirt.

I dont need this , I didn't need this in my life right now.
