Flight 13 by Kirk Knight

~Zella

We all sat in the waiting room of the hospital, patiently waiting for the doctor to come out and talk to us.

I couldn't believe Dessy was shot.

What a way to sober everyone up.

I looked over to my left where Joey was sitting next to me. He clenched his jaw while tapping his foot nervously. I put my left hand on his thigh and squeezed it slightly.

"Hey" I quietly said to him. "He's okay. Don't worry."

I was nervous as hell, but I had to provide some type of reassurance to Jo.

"Desmond Hinds?" The doctor called out. We all stood up and she walked over to us.

"Good news. It was just a flesh wound, so there isn't severe damage. He has to wear a cast for awhile, but everything should heal normally. We are going to keep him overnight." She said.

A weight was immediately lifted off of everyone's shoulders. Things could have been way worse.

"He can have some visitors. You all can go in trios."

It was extremely late, so Joey, Nyck, and I decided to go first. They were the ones who were riding with me, so we could leave together after seeing Des. Sole, Steez, and Kirk we're going to go after us.

Steez talked to Mrs.Hinds, Des' mom, and told her what the doctor told us. She works overnight in another city, but was trying to get here as fast as she could.

Believe it or not, we haven't even seen Kat since the party. When we all scattered after the gunshots, she was no where to be found. I tried to call her to tell her we were at the hospital, but she sent me to voicemail. I couldn't believe the nerve of her, but I will handle that at another time.

We walked into Des' room, and he was laying in the bed on the phone. His left arm was wrapped and in a cast.

"Yea Ma'. I'm good I promise. I love you too. See you soon." He hung up.

"Man I'm so happy you're good." Joey said as he dapped up Des. Nyck followed up and did the same.

"Son, you know I'm gully. That shit hurt though." He chuckled a bit.

"Yea my nigga, you got shot." I said.

"Aye, you know this is going to come up in a rap." 

"Here this nigga go" Nyck joked.

We all laughed a little. That's one thing about Des. He can laugh anything off.

"Is Kat out there?" He asked. Joey looked over at me and nodded.

"She um," I paused. "She wanted to come, but she just was a drunken mess so..you know." He looked a little disappointed, but nodded his head anyway.

I didn't want to tell him that she just didn't come, not yet at least. That was going to kill his mood, and he didn't really deserve that right now.
