Amir  (AJ) POV

I heard loud knocking on my door. Who the fuck? I thought to myself going to open it.

I seen Rah standing there.

"You seen this?" he asked holding his phone in my face.

It was a picture of Cam in a hospital. I read the caption.

"What the fuck? I was just with her earlier."

"When?"

"She wanted me to help he- man what the fuck! I really hope that nigga Butter ain't have nothin to do with this."

"Why you say that?" Rah asked me confused.

"She called me earlier asking me to help her move out. When I got there she talking bout some she changed her mind."

"You ain't think that was suspect?" Rah asked getting pissed.

"I did nigga. I'm like do you wanna talk about what happened earlier she talkin bout nah because she naked and he gon yell they busy so I just left."

Rah stayed silent for a minute. I couldn't read the expression on his face.

"He be hittin her?"

"She ain't never told me bout no shit like that. She don't be actin like it. Plus it's Jalynn. She ain't gon be in no abusive relationship."

He ran his hand down his face before turning to walk off.

Raheem POV

I didn't know what to say or do right now. I know she ain't dead. She strong as fuck. I just need to know what happened. But what the fuck can I say? It's not my place.

Fuck all that.

I pulled out my phone hoping and praying I still had Ms. Nae's contact.

I found it pressing the call button.

"Hello?" she answered on the first ring.

I couldn't bring myself to ask the question.

"She's fine Raheem. She's gonna be okay."

I let out a breath of relief as I sat down in my car. I didn't even realize I was crying. I wiped my eyes with the sides of my hands.

"Damn." I said resting my head on the steering wheel.

"We just left the hospital. We're going back there at 1 tomorrow. You'll meet us?"

I nodded before realizing she couldn't see me. "I'll be there."

"Okay. Hold your head up she's gonna be okay."

"Aight."

"I appreciate you checking on her."

"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow." I said before ending the call.

I sped off. It was only one place I could think about being right now.

I stopped at the store to buy some flowers before going to the cemetery. I visit my mom whenever I'm stressed. I don't even experience that feeling her presence shit. But it's nice to have somewhere I can go and be with a part of her while I thought about my problems.

The next day...

I was at the hospital early. I sat in a chair waiting for someone to get there. A few minutes later, Mani walked in followed by Cam.
