I look over to the bed where Jay laid. I was happy that he was still alive but it pained me to see him like this. Jay was the nigga that got shot and kept going. First time I seen him shot the nigga was driving my car and a bullet didn't faze him. In my eyes he was invincible, nobody and nothing could stop him or slow him down, so to see him laying in this bed barely escaping death weighed on my conscience.

Kairi was the first one to walk up to his bed.

"How are you feeling?" She ask.

"I'm uncomfortable as fuck." he says shifting slightly in the bed.

"Can he adjust his bed?" Kairi ask the nurse.

"We're actually about to bring him some food so he can eat. The doctor said that even though his surgery went well and the bullet didn't hit anything to major, he will have to stay here for a few days or a little over a week, just until the doctor is comfortable with releasing him."

Jay sucks his teeth loudly. "I'll stay for two days then I'm out this bitch. Ion do this hospital shit."

"But Sir we-"

"Ion give a fuck about none of that." he cuts her off.

"Jay chill out." Ze says. "I'd rather you be fully recovered before you walk outta here. What are you rushing to get back too? You need to slow your ass down, this ain't a one man show whatever you rushing out of here to do we can handle it."

Ze'rea had a point. Jay has this mindset that he has to do everything and be apart of every situation. Granted he runs this shit, but most niggas that are running shit are calling the shots and got a team of niggas that's gonna handle business.

Jay is different from other people that run a gang, he's extremely hands on. Usually the leader is being protected by the ones under him. and even though they do protect him, he's more worried about protecting them.

"I'll give you all a second to converse. I'll be back with your food." The nurse smiles and walks out the room.

Kairi sits on the edge of the bed and follows her. They're deep in a conversation but I was lost in my own thoughts to even pay it any mind. I was still standing in the same spot looking dumb until I was snapped out of my thoughts by Jay's voice.

"You just not gonna speak?" I look in his direction and blink a few times before I work up the nerve to say,

"Hi."

Hi? Amerie you are way too cute to be this fuckin awkward.

This man almost died and the only thing you can say is Hi? Sis you are fumbling!

He makes direct eye contact with me and it's like my legs start to moving on their own cause I walk closer to his bed and he looks me up and down.

"Your arm good?" He ask.

"Y-yeah." He looks at me, and I look at him. He was starring into the depth of soul like he use to.

Kairi and Ze'rea both suck their teeth and my eye go to Ze as his go to Kairi.

"What?" We both day at the same time.

Both of them look at each other and twist their faces up.
