(Carter POV)

Man, this girl was so pretty and it's fucked up how she was in this position." Here's a towel for your shower, and this is how you lock the door just in case you feel uncomfortable." I said while reaching her the towel and pointing at the lock. "Thanks." she said before she closed the door.

I ran downstairs and started to call up soul. "Bruh you think you know who did this?" I asked while playing with lighter. "I saw Johnny punk ass running off when I pulled out my gun, but everybody else had mask on." Soul said "That shit fucked up foreal... at a party!" I got up and started pacing "We need to get em back and we need to do it fast!" Soul agreed then the line went dead. My heart started racing to the thoughts of what happened. I heard foot steps coming down the stairs. She had on one of my tee shirts and a pair of my sister shorts she left over here. "hey." Region said dry I could tell he was crying even more. "Wassup ma?" She sat on the couch and started to flip through the channels. "I'm hungry." she demanded. "well I can order pizza."

I said while looking at her confused as hell. "good" she said "Are you ok?", I asked. "I'm fine." I scratched my head and started to go up the stairs for the phone book. When I came back she was in the kitchen fixing her a drink and walked back in the living room with the whole bottle and cup. I stared at her all confused and shit. "What?" she asked "Nothing." I said squinting my eyes at her.

She at like four pizzas and was laughing at Family guy on tv. I can tell she was tipsy but damn. "God, I love this show." she said slurring her words I laughed at her . I seen her shiver I asked if she was cold that she can come over by me, she agreed. and she came over by me and balled up and laid up under me. "I know I just met you to day." a burp interrupted her she laughed, " but I like you.. like a lot ." she said looking at me. I stared at her for a mintue. "I like you too Region." she smiled and asked for a kiss. Even though she was full blown drunk I didn't wanna try anything with her but I gave her a lil peck. she started to talk about Jorydan and their fun times. Even though she messed up some parts I enjoyed them.

We ended up falling a sleep on the couch she was under me like a puppy. I tried to get up and move her. "Damn." she said while putting her hand on her head. "Well goodmorning to you too." I said laughing. "morn-, you got some Advils ?" she asked "yea I do but we going to stop at your house to get you some clothes then go off to the hospital." I said "ok, wait I drunk that whole bottle ???" she asked while pointing at it. "Yes ma'am you did." I said with my hands on my hips. "Wow." she said in shock. "it's cool but come on so we can go.

We made it to her house and her dad was gone guess he was at work. she offered me to come in so I followed her in. She jogged up stairs to get herself together. I was staring at the pictures of her when she was younger. then there was a knock at the door. before I could answer the person came in. "Who is you?" he asked "uhmm, Carter I said "Why you here?" soon as I was about to answer Region came back down stairs. "Oh, hey Calvin." she said rubbing her forehead "Who is this?" he asked avoiding her greeting. "Calvin this Carter he's a friend of mines." she said "Your dad is worried about you, and we heard about the shooting at the party." she said while folding his arms. "Imma be sure to call him to let him know I'm ok and you chill out." she said walking out the door.

The car ride was weird as fuck. she decided to call her dad. "Yea, I'm ok pops. I promise, yea.. imma be home tonight. ok , love you. Bye." she hung up the phone and took a deep breath. "he cool." I said making conversation " yea, just worried like always." she said "Why that Calvin guy was acting like that ?" " he's like a big brother to me and be just as worried about me than my dad."

We pulled up to the hospital and Region hoped out the car soon as I put it in park. She damn near was running in the building. I laughed at her "Slow down." I demanded. She looked back and stopped. "Sorry.. I'm just worried about Jorydan." I kissed her forehead and promised she was ok.

After talking to the lady at the desk we walked up to the room. As we got closer we heard laugher I looked at her she was smiling so she must of recognize the laugher. Region knocked on the door and we heard a come in with a sigh of relief from laughing. We walked in and I seen soul and dapped him down I looked over to see Region hugging Jorydan. Me and Soul left out to give them time.

(Region POV)

"Girl !" I said while taking a deep breath. "I know I know, it's crazy but I'm ok plus Soul... girl Soul he is just a little angel for me." she said while grabbing for my hand. I smiled to let her know that I felt relief. "Well the doctor letting me go home tomorrow but I'm not going to be able to use my right arm." she said "Good cause I can't have you here for a long time." I said looking down. "Alright, I know you. You did something that you regret or don't want nobody to know." she said lifting my head up. " nothing happen, Carter took me to his place, I got depressed and started drinking. Jorydan when do I ever drink?? But all I can remember is being woken up by Carter." I said with a concerned look. "y'all didn't do nothing huh?" she asked in a low whisper. "What? No no no no!" I said shaking my head. "oh ok." she made a you know better face. I laughed.
