Call On Me

grit

Arianna

"Aaron what happened?", I paced the room trying not to look at my little brother hooked up to those beeping machines.

After I got that call from the hospital I sped to the airport, hopping on the next flight to Chicago. I landed the around midnight and rushed here to the hospital with Aaron.

I texted the gang's groupchat to give them the update. No one texted back since, hopefully they're all alright.

I cried the whole plane ride because I told Kentrell I was coming for him and I'm not. I'm sorry but my brother comes before anyone, except KaMora of course.

Zoey FaceTimed me earlier while I was on the plane. She's watching Princess until I get back. I doubt that she can handle a baby and school all at once so I sent Teelee over to help her when she needs it.

Aaron groaned in his bed touching his head, "He said he wanted to bang it out but I ain't do no rapping I pulled the mac right there and we got it bussin on the block"

"Broad daylight?" I nearly yelled. "You can go to jail for that"

Is he stupid?

I stopped at the foot of his bed, thinking of our next move. "Was anyone else hurt?"

"Yeah. My brudda Mir, I don't even know if he made it", the look on his face was filled with hurt. "Mir was on my side"

"Made it?" I walked around to his side, sitting down next to him. "Nigga you better be glad you made it"

"That's my bro though"

I'm gone let that nonsense slide for now. I just wanna know when he even got into all this. "Who the fuck you get a gun from?"

"Brian, he the one I was shooting at"

"He gave you a gun to shoot him with?", this don't even make no sense. If I'm shooting a bitch she better come with her own tools.

"No", he shook his head. His tone got huskier because he was getring annoyed. "He gave it to me a while ago when we were friends. Then just recently like 2 months ago he started moving funny"

"Why?"

He shrugged, "First he said something about his sister not liking me hanging out with him then it turned to this"

A female was involved in this? "What's the bitch name and address?"

"She don't live with him, he said his family from California" he groaned, trying to sit up.

"I can call Uncle Danny. He know damn near the whole state of California so we can put bread on this bitch head", trust me .. we the wrong kids to mess with. My dad name hold weight in California streets so nice smart when you step our way.

I know if my dad was still here none of this fuck shit would be happening.

Why'd he have to leave us here?

"All I know is .. next time, that nigga better kill me because I ain't finished with his ass", he stared blankly at nothing particular in the room.

Where is all this coming from? Aaron used to be a sweetheart now he acts like some street dude you don't wanna make eye contact with when you're going in the corner store. They the you fake a phone call when you walk past him just so he doesn't try to talk to you.

"I knew this was a bad idea, letting us get split up" I mumbled, shaking my head.

"What are you talking about? It wasn't in our control. Mom had to do it"
