College Dreaming
Chapter 39

*Kamaal's POV*

The sound of absolute silence fills the emergency room. We are all waitin for one thing, and that's for the doctors to come out and say Chris is OK. Trey paces the floor, Myra is still breakin down a lil bit, and Giselle tries to confort her. I stare out the window with tears flowin from my face, as I watch the rain fall. All I can do is reflect on everything that happened 20 minutes ago. Jeremy runnin up on me, Jeremy runnin his mouth, Jeremy toungin me down, and the look Chris gave me after knockin his lights out. He was angry, hurt, everything you can imagine. It kills me to see Chris upset. It killed me even more when I couldn't stop him from gettin hit. This whole situation is my fault. As I continue to sulk by the window, Trey puts his arm around my shoulder.

"Yo, stop beating yourself up man. You and I both know Chris is a fighter. He will get through this, and y'all will fix this little mishap."

"Man I know that. But I don't think Chris is gonna hear me out."

"You don't know that. So what happened? What was up with that kiss?"

I wipe the tears from my face and prepare to tell Trey everything that went down.

"Well it started when Jeremy-"

As I'm about to tell the story, Andre rushes inside the emergency room.

"Where's my roommate? Is he ok?"

I look at him and roll my eyes.

"Anyway Trey, like I was saying, Jeremy ran up on me at the party and-"

"Soooo, don't nobody wanna tell me wassup?"

"Chris got hit by a car. We don't know anything about his condition yet." Trey says trying to calm things down

"Damn. Hopefully he's ok. Are y'all gonna be ok?"

"Yeah, everyone will be cool."

Andre walks over to Myra and Giselle. He hugs Myra as she lays her head on his shoulder, still cryin a lil bit.

"Anyway, so this Jeremy guy ran up on you. What happened after that? "

"Well he was confrontin me about how I cut him off. Chris was upset because I was always chillin with him, so I cut him off completely for Chris."

"Oh I see. You do what you gotta do. So what was up with that kiss he planted on you? Did y'all smash?" 

"Noooo, we never did anything on that level. I would never cheat on Chris. Jeremy would flirt with me occasionally, but that's the main reason why I cut him off. He was tellin me how he can do me better then Chris can, and he just laid it me. I broke away from it, but Chris saw what happened and knocked him out."

"Oh it makes sense now. Cause from our view it looked like-"

"I know, that's why Chris was pissed. Jeremy basically grabbed my face and I couldn't break away."

"So this whole thing is your fault?%

I look over at Andre with surprise written all over my face.

"Nigga, what did you say to me?"

"You heard me bruh. So Chris got hit because he was pissed off at you for kissing another dude."

"Dude please get out of here with that shit."

"Nah for real, if he didn't get so mad at you, we wouldn't be in this hospital right now."

"Andre, don't you think-"

"Nah Trey, it seems like Chris and Kamaal have been having problems since they got on campus, so I'm not surprised that it started with an argument."
