Hard Times Purify

E L E V E N

Zih ,

Sitting in the room , while the family crowded around Jesus's bed side , I looked around at everyone who held a blank expression on their faces . This situation was getting out of hand . Jesus supposed to had lost his life today . I know in my heart that Nico is behind this . Karti haven't told me anything concerning the whole situation but since that night at the party , I have had these bad vibes when it comes to Nico . He has to be stopped and quick because I know that he's going to come harder very soon .

My eyes quickly landed on Kartier , who sat off in the corner , with his eyes fixed on the vase of roses that sat by the window . Maria was fixing the sheets busying herself . I took the initiative to go over towards Karti . I sat on his lap and embraced him . I know that witnessing the whole ordeal had to be over bearing for him .

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him .

"I love you ." I whispered in his ear lowly .

"I love you more Zih." He replied back while resting his head in the crook of my neck . His voice was real low and raspy .

We sat in silence until the nurse came and checked Jesus's IVs . He had multiple IVs in him , pain medicine , shit to keep him sedated and antibiotics to fight off infection for the 2nd degree burns . When she left Gee spoke first .

"I know I said to wait but we got to do something. This nigga think he's smarter then us ."

The room consisted of Dale , Tate , Maria , Karti and I . A few bodyguards stood outside the door .

"I know you guys want to go in with guns rightnow but we must wait." Maria voiced.

"She's right. We can't just act on impulse. That's what he wants us to do." I added .

"Well we need to strategize quick, 'cause I know he got some more reckless shit up his sleeve." Tate said , sitting in the seat Gee just was sitting in.

"Right , man this nigga know where to hit us . He know where we lay our heads , where our mamas lay their heads and so on. 1st move is going somewhere safe." Dale said.

We all nodded in agreement.

"We must go to the safe house . In Charlotte." Maria spoke . "Lay low for a while. It has plenty of space for all of us and those who's important to us. We can move Jesus down their as well . By the time he's halfway if not fully healed , we'll put things in motion. Plus , Jesus just purchased it months ago . No one knew about it besides me and him , until I just told you guys ."

We all nodded once again . Who would've thought Maria sweet innocent self had this street savy in her but then again she's not Jesus's wife for nothing .

"You right Me. Get on that y'all . Also , move EVERYTHING from the places that he know of . Including the house . Bae , call your dad and my mom . Let them know . I'll call to get the jets ready . Tell everyone to pack light . Were on a time frame . I'll pay for whatever it is that's important that they left . LETS GO ! Me , talk to the people about moving him in less then 24 !" Karti spoke , while standing up and bringing me with me .

"C'mon y'all." He spoke to Gee , Tate and Dale .

Then there was me , Karti , Karen , my dad , the kids , Chelly , Meagan and her daughter Morgan . Maria was flying in with Jesus . The hospital agreed with moving him but he must be watched with a close eye .
