Tunnel Vision

Chapter 7

Dante'

Damn. As we sat in the waiting room, all I could think about was who had the motherfucking balls to shoot up my damn spot. Everybody knew who the fuck I was and most niggas in the streets feared me and knew not to cross me. So who could it have been? I don't know, but a nigga wasn't going to rest until I found out. If I had to bust down every door, then that's just what the fuck it had to be. If a nigga look at me wrong or even blink wrong, he a fucking suspect and his ass is dead! I can't believe they shot my baby man, the love of life, right in front of me. That bullet had to be meant for me. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Milly doctor. I stood up.

"Yeah, how is she doc?" I asked.

"Well, it was touch and go for a while. The bullet almost pierced right through her lower intestines. She lost a lot of blood, so we had to do a blood transfusion. We were also able to remove the bullet, so that's good. She's resting now and stable. She very lucky to be alive." But she will make a full recovery. You guys can go see her but only two at a time, so she won't be overwhelmed." The doctor explained.

"Oh My God!" Thank you so much doctor, thank you for saving my best friend's life!" Kellie said crying and giving the doctor a hug.

"Thanks doc." I said feeling relieved. Thank you God for letting my baby live. Now that she was alive, it was time to find the niggas who put her in here in the first place.

"This is all your fucking fault!" I snapped out of my thoughts. Kellie was now in front of me mad. I just put my head down, because it was the truth. They wanted to get to me through her. And now she in a hospital bed with tubes and shit in her.

"My bestfriend could've been dead, all because of you. You and your selfish ways. Like why do you treat her like shit. She could've been gone and then what you was going to do? Niggas don't love you till you dead anyway!!!" Kellie said shaking her head. She had her arms crossed just mugging me. She kept talking shit about how I ain't this and that. I just let her be mad, she had every right to be. Because I would've never forgave myself if Milly had died man. That would've been on me. And I would've had to live with that. She was still cussing me out, until Benz told her to chill. He grabbed her and took her outside to get some air.

This gave me time to go talk and check on Milly myself. I asked the nurse for her room number and walked to her room. I was kinda nervous to see her. I didn't know if she even wanted to see me, she might still be pissed off about the shit a did a couple weeks ago. And then again she could feel like this is my fault and think I'm the reason she got shot. I had finally made to her room. I knocked first. Just in case she was awake. I didn't want her to flip out on me just walking in. When she didn't say anything, that's when I walked in.

She was still asleep. Even though she was shot. She still looked beautiful. Flawless even. The nurses must have came and removed all the tubes. So that's a good thing, that she's able to breathe on her own. The only thing she had in her was her IV, and her vitals looked good. I pulled up a chair right next to her bed and held her hand. I sighed. Then out of nowhere tears just dropped from my face.

I could've lost her man. She could've been dead and gone and there was nothing I could do about it. I took for her to almost die for me to realize, this the woman I wanna marry and have kids with. But I couldn't get her back like this. I had to show her that I was serious this time. I had to work for it.

"I'm so sorry Milly." I said. She probably wasn't going to hear or remember anything I had said.

"I love you baby, and imma find the niggas who did this, I promise." "I won't sleep until I do." I kissed her hand. I just sat there by her bed and watched her breathe. I didn't wanna be anywhere else. But I knew I had to leave before she woke up, just in case she wasn't happy to see me. I finally got up to leave. Then I heard a hoarse voice say my name. I turned around.

"Dante?"
