"London Chanel why are you not at school?" She asked me folding her arms.
"Ma Ms.Snyder on that weird shit. She got mad because I was late and sent me home." I looked at her as if I was confused about the whole situation.
"What? Because you were late?" She knew something.
"Yes ma." I mumbled. I know she's getting more irritated by the minute.
"Girl get out my face. Go home." She handed me the car keys. I hid the excitement behind a frown.
Before I hit the button on the elevator, I hear a familiar voice around the corner. I turned around and it was Kevin.
"Nah I'm going to handle this shit." Trap said to Ivy.
I walked up to him and he his eyes were red and filled with anger. I placed my hand on his back and he turned around swiftly.
"Kev relax It's me. What's going on? Are you okay?" I asked him softly.
"Keon got shot four times. They doing surgery." Ivy told me as Trap got on his phone.
"Are you serious? Oh my God, I'm so sorry. He's going to be okay. Y'all just gotta know he wouldn't want y'all doing anything out of anger. Y'all know he loves to be logical." I told both of them softly.
I saw a short lived glimpse of relief over their faces.
"I gotta go, his mama and baby moms at the house waiting. Hit me up you know I'm ready when you are." Ivy dapped Kev before turning around.
I turned around to see Kev had stood against the wall looking up at the ceiling. I figured he was praying so I grabbed his hand. He continued to look up and I placed his hand around me while placing mine around his waist and hugging him. We stood there for at least 10 minutes in silence.
"Did they say how long he was going to be in surgery?" I looked up at him with my arms still wrapped around his waist.
"Yeah they said around 12 hours." Kev gripped my shoulder a little. I'm glad to know he finds comfort in me.
"We can come back in a little or we can stay..what do you prefer? I'm okay with either and my mom still works here so she'll keep us up to date for sure." I looked up at him with a hopeful expression.
"Damn mama Keish still work here?" He asked with a slight smile.
"Yes come on." I said while pulling his arm.
"Ma, look." I smiled at my mom
"Hey my baby! How are you doing? Why you here? Don't tell me for that young man I'm getting ready to scrub in on." My mom embraced him while asking.
"I'm doing alright ma. Yes ma'am that's my best friend. I was supposed to look out for him." Kev looked down as he spoke.
"Kevin Deshon this is not your fault. You got him here didn't you? Leave the rest to God and his workers." My mom said to him hugging him again.
"I want you to get out of here and I'm going to call with any updates, okay baby?" My mom placed his face in her palm.
"Yes ma. Thank you so much." He hugged her again.
"London I'm gone 'get up with you about school'" she raised her fist while mocking my phrase. Kevin chuckled while looking at me.
"Oh nah, now you know mama Keish with the shits" he said playfully to me.
"She wants to fight me so bad" I said laughing.
"Ma I rode here with Ivy so I'm gonna call a driver." He said while stopping in his tracks. He's not used to not having his car.
