It's chaos all around me right now.

I'm trying my best to piece everything together.

I feel as if I've been gone for weeks.

I gotta talk to someone who can help me make sense of all this.

I just made it to Jehrico Memorial Hospital (where Derrick's Mom Brenda works).

I rode in the ambulance with Derrick.

Dylan drove my car (Garrett, Milan, & Tori rode with him). Keldric drove his car. Troy drove Derrick's car (Marissa & brothers Carl & Tonio rode with him). Adrian & Brad  rode together. Sean & Damion rode together.

They were all behind the ambulance.

When we got to the hospital, the EMTs got Derrick & Evan out the ambulances and we all headed into the hospital.

EMT #1: YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT HERE UNTIL WE CAN GET THEM IN A ROOM.

MILES: OK.

Ain't no telling how long I'm gonna have to wait.

Evan & Derrick were both shot in their sides.

My only question is who did this?

The whole gang comes in the hospital.

KELDRIC: I GOT A FUNNY FEELING THIS WAS LAVINIUS AND JAMES' DOING. I CAN'T SHAKE THE FUCKING FEELING.

DYLAN: I WAS THINKING THE SAME FUCKING THING.

SEAN: I THINK WE'RE ALL THINKING THE SAME THING. WHO ELSE WOULD DO SOMETHING SO HEARTLESS?

BRAD: I HOPE THE COPS ARE DOING THEIR FUCKING JOBS THIS TIME.

ADRIAN: THE COPS ARE A FUCKING JOKE IN MY EYES. FUCK THEM. WE'D FIND THEM BEFORE THE COPS WOULD.

TROY: KEL, IS RONALD ON HIS WAY?

KELDRIC: YEAH. HE SAID HE CALLED EVAN'S MOM AND STEP DAD. THEY'RE ON THERE WAY AS WELL.

TROY: OK. I CALLED GRANDMA LOUISE, AUNT SELITA, UNCLE STEVE, AUNT BRENDA, AND UNCLE BRIAN. AUNT BRENDA & UNCLE BRIAN ARE PROBABLY ALREADY UPSTAIRS. THE REST ARE ON THEIR WAY.

SEAN: THIS IS THE CRAZIEST SHIT EVER. EVERYTIME SOMETHING GOOD IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS INSTEAD. THIS THING CALLED LIFE IS BACKWARDS AS FUCK.

DAMION: I AGREE BAE.

Sean put his head on Damion's shoulder.

CARLITO: MARISSA, DID YOU CALL MAMI AND TELL HER WHAT HAPPENED?

MARISSA: YEAH I DID. SHE WAS CRYING HER EYES OUT.

SANTONIO: MAMI HAS A HEART FOR SO MANY PEOPLE. WHEN OTHERS HURT, SHE HURTS.

CARLITO: THIS IS TRUE.

MARISSA: WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY WOULD THEY WANNA SHOOT EVAN? HE DIDN'T DONE ANYTHING TO ANYBODY.

MILES: (TEARS FALLING FROM EYES)  I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY SHOT EVAN, BUT ONE OF THE GUYS DEFINITELY WAS AIMING FOR ME AND DERRICK PUSHED ME OUT OF THE WAY AND TOOK THE BULLET INSTEAD.

MARISSA: WHAT?

MILES: DERRICK SAVED MY LIFE FOR SAVING HIS. I LOVE THAT MAN WITH ALL MY HEART.
