Shay P.O.V - 

It's 2am. 

I've called , texed , face timed starr a billion times. I still haven't gotten a text back from starr. I'm getting worried. I'm got a really bad feeling and I'm not liking it. I call her one more time.

"I'm sorry but this person can not be reached try again later" Voice mail. 

"Star .... answer your phone please. I'm worried. I hope everything is okay! I love you" I hang up

 I lay back in my bed facing the ceiling trying to forces myself to sleep. Yeahh.. no. I'm not going to be able to sleep until I hear from her. I call Quan. I put the phone to my ear he picked up aromatically. 

"Shay tell me star next to you writing a poem" He says quickly 

He sounded very worried "No - Quan she's not with me , she hasn't been answering any of my calls nor text-"

"I have her phone-"

"NIGGA  STOP PLAYING GAMES WHERE TF IS SHE?" I ask getting upset 

"It's dead shay , she's not with me -"

"What do you mean???" I ask 

"I was on the way to drop her off back at the school where her car was. We stopped at the gas station and some niggas pulled up and I told her to take off some niggas followed her while the rest stayed back to handle me I tried to get away as fast as I could so I could get to her but now it's been 30 minutes and I can't find her me and my niggas been looking for her and the niggas that took off " He says I heard 

"QUAN - WHAT THE FUCK I HAD A GUT FEELING SOME SHIT WAS GONNA POP OFF " I shout jumping out of my bed sliding on my shoes "Where tf are you?" I ask swanging the door open into my brothers room grabbing my brothers gun in his closet 

"The gas station off of brook street" he says 

"Be there in five" I say hanging up 

my blood pressure was up. My sister was somewhere out there alone. Theres so much going on tonight. I tried to keep my mind in tact , not allowing my emotions to get the best of me but thats my only sister. she the only person I got other then Dre. Dre got up out of bed a little confused. 

"Where tf you going with my fucking gun?" he ask before I walked out of the room I turned around he got up and snatched the gun out of my hand

"Something bad happen to starr she's missing theirs a shoot out and I don't have much time" I say 

"Say less" He says putting on his clothes. That was our sister and FDT need our help.. He clocked the gun back. We got into the car and speed down to the scene.  There was police everywhere. "Stay in the car" Dre said tucking his gun in his pants

I got out when he did " I ain't come all the way out here to sit in the damn car , I'm going to go look for my sister" I say sternly 

As I got closer to the scene, the louder the sound of police cars got and the sound of ambulance. I seen starr on a stretcher. She looked really bad, My heart dropped and I couldn't hold it in anymore. "WHAT THE FUCK BRO" I SCREAMED  Tears fell from my eyes like a river. This can't be happening. "NO NO NO - Thats not her I run towards her getting a better look. The police held me back "I need you to stand back" He said in a stern voice 

"THATS MY SISTER" I rage out trying to push by Dre grabbed my around my waist. 

"Shay" he says once "Shay , shay shay" he repeats trying to get me to calm down. She wasn't moving , I'm not even sure if she was breathing all I knew was that who ever did this was going to pay. I cried in dre arms as he held me tight. 

"It's going to be okay , it's going to be okay" he repeats trying to stay strong for the both of us. It's hurting him just as it hurts me. That was his sister too. Family.  

Quan

Somebody set me up. Ion know these niggas. Ain't ever seen them a day in my life , gotta be one of Drake's ole niggas. Great way to end the night, huh ? I ain't know they was going to chase after and let these weak ass niggas to fight me. They pussy asses ran off coming back with guns, I done had called my dawgs before shit really popped off. The police fooled the premises , I dipped. we all did but shawn , ice and I stood close running into the woods. So I wasn't alone. But star was.. she's close I can feel it.  Starr was on my mind. She couldn't have gotten to far... I received another phone call from Shay. 

"Me... and and and ....." heavy breathing "and dre... arrre... following the ambulance to the hospitallll. They found star" she crys 

"Calm down ... did she look bad -"

"Really bad ... Quan .. Quan .. It looked like she wasn't breathing ... " she cried even harder 

"I'm on my way" I hang up before I cracked "FUUUCCCKKKKKKK!" I threw my phone on the floor. I was loosing my shit. She didn't deserve this. She was innocent. She ain't apart of this war. This is my fight and some how got dragged into it. 

"Chill dawgg... everything go be straight" Ice says 

"yeah .. go check on ole girl Ight , me and Ice will handle this" shawn says 

"My car back at the gas station .. " I said 

"shit Them FEDs about to be knocking on your door ... asking questions and shit" Ice says 

"Not just me nigga y'all cars up there too" I say 

"all because you wanted to take a bitch out on date -" 

I almost upper cut the fuck out of shawn Ice held me back "Say some fuck shit bro" I say 

"Chill , we all thats left" Ice says 

He's right. We dapped eachother up and came up with a plan. We already know that the FEDs were going to be on our case. The three of us went our separate ways to go to the house to clean up our shit. We flushed all the weed. Got rid of everything. I took my pops car down to the hospital bring star's poem book and phone.

Shay hugged me "omg your face ..." She says 

"I'm good , hows star?" I ask 

"we haven't heard anything yet ..." she says 

A lady with her husband walked in crying , the dad looked angry. They were walking our direction. "Hi Ms & Mrs brooks" Shay says 

"You should be a shame of yourself shay! You knew she was going out with some boy! you know she's not allowed to hang out with boys with out my supervision!  you should have been a friend and told her not too go! NOW LOOK ! We could have avoided this!" they fussed 

These are stars parents... ? Now I know why she's so uptight with lil shit. She's 17 and not allowed to go on dates ? Surly they don't know that star knows how to handle her self. She hande's her self pretty well. As far as I'm concern and nobody can handle my ass.

"I'm sorry , I'm sorry. It's all my fault , I know -" 

"No it's not , It's mine. I'm sorry I couldn't protect her" I stepped in. 

"Your the boy ! MY DAUGHTER MIGHT BE DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU ! & DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ? My reputation as a pastor will be ruin because I'll be known as the father who let her daughter off the leash and lets her daughter do whatever with a hoodlum " He shout almost punched me but a security guard stopped it before anything can pop off. I wasn't going to hit the old man anyways. 

"Sir I'm going to have to ask you to leave" The security guard said to me 

"I'm not going nowhere" I say 

"get out!" the security guard yelled 

"Ion ever want to see your face or my daughter EVER again ! "  Mrs.brooks screams 

I looked around at how big star family was. There was no spot for me... She has enough , she don't need me. She's all about family but She didn't talk much about her family , maybe it's something I'll never know ... or maybe she hasn't came out her shell just yet. I feel like its something she knows I couldn't fit in. Her family is Proper .. rich. I'm Quan, I live on the north side  and I'm stuck in my ways. I'm only causing trouble so when this is all over ... I'll walk away. I've done enough.
