(Fast forward to a week before Christmas)

Kiara P.O.V
Well, I am now a high school graduate. I walk the stage on May 16th with my class. After the whole thing that happened at the thanksgiving dinner, I didn't really wanna stay around them any longer.

As for where me and August stand, I don't know. We haven't talked much since it happened. There's been multiple shootings that has been happening lately. I'm now 2 months pregnant. August is the father but I haven't got a chance to tell him.

I was sitting in my room watching tv, it was 6:00 in the afternoon. I already took my shower so I really didn't have anything to do.

I felt my phone go off and it was my mama texting me.

Mama💙- Kiara come down to the hospital quick, Kevin got shot and were not sure if he's going to make it.

I sat there confused on what I just read. How could my brother be gone? Who killed my brother? After the thanksgiving dinner we gotten closer, we both was gonna move away from New Orleans because it was bad out here.

He won't be able to see me walk the stage now and that's what hurt me the most. I still sat there in daze taking everything in. I grabbed my phone and keys and got in my car to drive to the nearest hospital.

Northside hospital 6:35 pm

I ran up to the front desk and to get some information.

"I'm looking for Kevin Smith, he was shot not too long ago and was admitted into this hospital. Is there any updates on him" I asked

"Ma'am go have a seat. I can't give any information out just yet" she said with a attitude.

I looked in the waiting room and saw my mother and "father" sitting there. My mama had blood shot eyes from where she been crying and father just sat there dumbfounded.

I looked down at my phone and seen a text from August.

August☹️- I heard what happened I'm on my way up to the hospital. I know we not on speaking terms but I know you need me.

I just read it and locked my phone back.

6:51 pm

August just walked in and walked over to where I was and just held me close. This is what I needed. I felt safe in his arms. But something was off about August, I could tell.

"Family of Kevin Smith"

We all stood up and made our way over toward the doctor, I knew it was bad news from the way he was looking.

"I'm sorry. But Kevin has passed away, he had suffered gun shot wounds to the head, chest, and arm. The bullet hit his brain and heart and caused him to bleed to death, you all can go in one by one and see him"

"NOOOO MY BABY IS GONE. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT JAMES" my mother yelled.

I stood there stiff. Unable to move, my brother was gone and there was nothing else I could do.
