I heard yelling and shouting and had no clue what was going on. All of a sudden I see its Jayce. He has a gun and looks completely zoned out.
He points it back and forth between me and Alaya then shoots three shotsbeside me. Lyrique falls to the ground. He shoots again. By now the music has stooped people are running and its utter chaos. I feel the grip of Alaya's hand loosen up. She falls to the ground. I hear one final shot and Jayce falls down.
I get my phone and call 911 "Hello I'm at Zouk and there's been a shooting. My girlfriend has been shot. The shooter killed one of my friends and then turned it on his self." It took the ambulance no time to reach us. I was so scared. My baby had been shot in the chest. The responders got her out and put her on the ambulance. I followed them to the hospital. I contacted Pastor Johnson and let him know what was going on
Once we arrived at the hospital they immediately took her back to surgery. All I could do was pray that my baby would be okay. " Lord I come to you asking that you keep my baby alive. Let her come out okay. Give her strength. Please don't let her leave me. I need her. In Jesus name amen."
Once Pastor Johnson and Aden arrived I felt a little better. I held Aden rocking him back and forth. He was crying because he wanted his sister.
Two hours later the doctor came in... "She's made it out of surgery and is breathing on her own."
We went back to see her. I hugged her and cried. The lord answered my prayers and kept her alive. The nurse came in and said she would have to stay a couple days but was doing extremely well for what had just happened. The bullet had went through her chest and should have hit her heart. I knew it was only because of God that she was in as good condition as she was. She was a miracle.
After three days of Alaya being in the hospital it was time for her to come home. I had stayed with her every day and was ecstatic to get her out. I gathered her belongings and we headed to the elevators went to the parking lot and got in the car.
Twenty minutes later we were home. I made sure she was settled in and went to go get Aden from Pastor Johnson's house. I was happy to see my lil man. I missed him. I knocked on the door and Aden opened it. "Daddy's here"he shouted.
I was shocked he called me daddy. I hadn't been in his life but for a few months and he called me daddy. It made me proud that he saw me as his father. I had the biggest smile ever. I picked him up and told Pastor Johnson I was leaving.
Once in the car Aden couldn't stop talking. "Daddy where is mommy" Are we going home?" "I'm hungry" he asked.
"Mommy's at home and that's where we're going , and what you want to eat?" I said
After stopping at McDonalds we were heads home.
Once we got in I saw Alaya crying on the couch. I put Aden in his room so we could talk.
I sayin the couch beside her pulled her close and let her cry. After she stopped I wiped her tears and kissed her cheek.
"What's wrong baby?" I asked.
"Everything. My supposed to be best friend shot me and killed my other friend ,and then his self. My mom doesn't know me or want anything to do with me. My aunt is dead. I don't have a father. Its just too much to deal with."
I turned her face to mine and looked her in the eyes. "I know you have a lot going on but you have a brother that loves you like a son you have a father figure in your pastor you graduated and you have me every step of the way. I can't replace your mom or aunt but when you need me I'll be right here. You can trust me. I love you with all my heart."
"I just wanna go somewhere where we can start over."she said
"I'll call my dad and see what he can do."
After talking to my dad he agreed to give me the money to move out to Utah with him.
