We Need Each Other

I can't lose you

5 months pass

I haven't talked to Trent but he's attempted to contact me & he stops by 3 times a day.

I just can't talk to him, it hurts too much.

"You wanna come with me to go get Julian and Talia?"

I nodded & put on some yoga pants and a white shirt with my Red Toms.

. . . .

we pulled up to see Julian arguing with Aaron.

"Stay in the car."

Josh Pov

"Aye yo Jay do we have a problem?"

"We do cause this bitch ass nigga mad cause I'm rolling with Talia."

I turned around to see Cameron walking towards us. I walked over to her.

"Cam you really --

Gun shots went off. I tackled Cam to the ground. I heard screams.

"Get in the car now."

"Josh, don't."

"Cameron now."

Cameron Pov

I crawled back to the car, I seen Josh stand up. My heart was racing.

I heard him yell my name. I ran to him to see Talia holding Julian. He was bleeding out.

"Talia give me your jacket."

"Why?"

"Talia damnit! your jacket."

She frantically took off her jacket. I wrapped it around Julian's chest. Josh picked him up and ran to the car.

I got in the back seat with him while Josh drove to the hospital.

I put pressure on his wounds and he yelled out in pain.

"Come on Julez stay with me."

"Cameron what the hell is going on?"

"Joshua baby I know this is your brother but imma need you to drive."

. . . .

Nurses rushed Julian into the emergency room. Josh and I stood outside for a moment.

I looked at Josh and his shirt was soaking red. He looked faint and distracted.

I walked up to him.

"Josh are you okay?"

"My baby brother was just shot. no I'm not okay."

"Not mentally, physically."

I lifted up his shirt to see a bullet hole in his left side.

He collapsed and I screamed for a nurse.

. . .

"You can't see them right now."

"Can you atleast tell me about Joshua Vega?"

"I'm sorry, mama. I can't do it."

I nodded & went to look for David. I found him in the lounge.

"Cameron your clothes. Come here."

He got some nurse scrubs.

"What happened?"

"Two friends of mine got shot."

"Are you okay?"

"Just stunned, I'll be fine. I just need some sleep but I can't go home."
