16: Down For You

Devante Swing

"B-Baby, everything is going to be okay. I'm right here." I frantically said as I touched her face. Her eyes were really low and she grabbed onto my hand.

"SOMEONE CALL 911!!!!!!!" I yelled. "AYEEE STATIC CALL HER MOM ." I added.

-
"Is my daughter going to be okay?"

"Yes, she will be just fine." The doctor told us.

"Can we see her please?" I asked him. I was dying to see my baby I was just so glad she was okay.

"Yes, just follow me right this way. Now she will need lots of rest for a few months to heal properly." The doctor told us before we walked in her room.

She got shot on her side and thank god the bullet didn't kill her man or puncture anything.

"Thanks everyone for checking up on me." Serenity told us.

"We love you girl." Dalvin said.

I know him and the others care for her as a sister. And I respect that shit. That is when Tupac walked in.

"Serenity I'm sorry this happened to you girl." Tupac walked towards her. I was lowkey mad because it happened at his crib.

"Its okay. I'm alive." Serenity told him.

"Nah fuck that, you could have died tonight serenity!" I told her.

"Aye, you need to chill dude. I didn't know this was going to happen." Tupac told me. I really didn't want to hear what he had to say. Everyone was just staring at us both.

"I don't want to hear that shit Pac. You needed to make sure that no one had no type of weapons on them and then shit like this wouldn't happen to people that are only trying to have a great time." I told him.

Tupac walked up to me. "So you saying its my fault?"

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Serenity said. "Can everyone please leave but Pac and De." Serenity blew out a shaky breath. "I need you guys to calm the fuck down okay. Everything is fine. I'm not dead so just leave it alone. I told you that I'm not with the drama shit. So please stop it. Drop it right now, and forgot that this ever happened."

I love Serenity so much so I'm willing to do anything for her.

"Sure baby." I told her and she gave me a smile.

"What about you Pac?" Serenity asked him.

"Sure, whatever floats ya boat." Tupac said stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Good. But Pac I want you to be careful. I'm only telling you this because I care about you as a friend. But keep an eye out on Suge. I don't trust his ass for some type of reason. Just got this bad vibe from him." Serenity explained to him.

"Alright Serenity. Thanks for letting me know. And I will keep an eye on him." Pac said. "I will check up on you later." Pac added before leaving.

"You sure you are okay?" I asked her.

She kissed my hand before nodding. "Yes, I am good."

Serenity

The doctors told me that I am on bed rest when they were officially able to release me so I was just at home writing songs left and right. Shit Devante wouldn't even let me leave the room.

"Hey Serenity." Dalvin walked in.

"Hey Dal, what you doing here?" I smiled putting down my pen.

"Just wanted to check on my sis. So how you holding up?"

"I guess, I'm okay. I just want to leave out of this bed. Your big head of a brother wont let me." Dalvin started to laugh at me when I pouted. "But I'm glad you are here. I got a song that I want you to sing on." I told him and he smiled.

"What is the song called?" Dalvin asked me.

"Down For You.. here take a look." I said handing him my notebook.

Dalvin read it over in silence before handing my notebook back.

"Wow this is amazing girl. Why not Kci or JoJo?" Dalvin asked me.

"To be honest. I don't know." I told him and we both laughed. "You got a nice voice on you. And I want people to hear it. So that is why I picked you." I told him once I truthfully thought of an answer to his question.

"Thanks, that was so sweet of you." Dalvin sung a few verses he remembered just from reading it once coming up with a melody. Devante walked in and started to clap.

"Wow Dal, you sound real good." Devante then walked over towards me and kissed my lips.

"Thanks Bro. Serenity wanted me to be in her song that she is working on." Dalvin explained too him.

"Shit that's wassup. You do got a good voice man." Devante said.

"Maybe later on this week, we can get in the studio and actually start working on it?" I asked Dalvin.

"Sure, I'm down. But Devante are you going to let Serenity go to the studio?" Dalvin asked his brother.

"Yeah, I guess that would be fine." Devante said and it put a smile on my face.
