Khailah Pov

"Okay Ms.Khailah I will be checking up on you and August and letting you know when visiting hours are over in a few hours," the doctor, Mrs. Sanchez, said before closing the door.

I glanced over at Aug and my heart broke all over again. August has been in a coma for almost 2 months. When he got shot he hit his head too hard on the concrete which caused him to lose consciousness. He had frontal lobe damage and he had minor brain bleeding. The good thing is the doctors said that he has been progressing and he should be waking up very soon.

Two Months Earlier

Khailah

I hope Devin doesn't show up and mess everything up. It would be nice if my family and Aug could sit and have a nice dinner together.

"Um I forgot to tell you something.." I said. He lifted his eyebrow gesturing for me to continue.

"Devin is here," I continued with irritation in my voice.

"Why the fu-(gco)," He started until my dad cut him off.

"August can you get the ice out the garage? You gotta go in from outside because the door messed up." he ordered leaving out before he could reply.

August got up from the couch and went to put his shoes on. This is exactly why I don't want Devin to come because every time I mention his name August catches a whole a.s attitude.

Aug left out the front door and I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through instagram. It was the usual everyday instagram mess like the shaderoom posting, being in everybody business, bitches tracks showing, foundation not matching they skin you know the regular..

I got bored and went to the kitchen to grab something to drink but before I could get there I heard POW POW POW. My mind went straight to August and ran outside.

Before I reached him tears were already running down my face. What I saw when I made it to the garage broke my heart.

Third Person

August layed lifeless on the cold concrete ground. There was a small pool of blood surrounding his body and head. Khailah took his body into her arms and continued to sob. All she could think about was that she knew this had something to do with Devin.

"Dammit mann! Muthaf.ckas really pull up and do this shit at my crib like they gon' get away with it?," Khailah's dad was at the edge of the garage with a glock in his right hand and his phone in the left getting ready to call up the guys.

Present Day

Khailah

Dad still can't find where Devin been hiding out at. As soon as it happened he said he knew 'Devin dumb jealous a.s had something to do with it'. I guess I should've listened to him because he always used to tell me that boy liked me.

August

The last thing I remember was a sharp pain all over my body and then everything went black. When I woke up, well atleast when I thought I woke up I was in a movie theater. Yeah, I know right and it was the same exact theater me and Khailah went to once before. In the front of me was a table filled with every movie theater food and drink you could imagine. Knowing me my fat ass started chowing down. After about like 5 minutes the big ultra screen turned on. All you heard at first was crying and then the camera panned over slowly to a girl over a hospital bed crying. I realized it was Khailah and my heart sank.
