You Needed Me | Oscar Diaz [EDITING]

14 - Fuck everything else

After Sky finished sewing me up, I was able to move over to the couch. Riella started cleaning up the house and she even went out to buy some of the things that I would need to care for my bullet wound. I missed the fuck out of that girl. That was the main reason I got shot. 

We were out picking up a few of the late drop offs for the protection ring. Santi had just gone inside the dry cleaners to pick up from Mrs. Dominguez. I got bored so I pulled out my phone and started going through some of the pictures I had in my phone of Riella. I was still so pissed off at her from earlier. I mean, who the fuck could she have been expecting on the other end of the phone? Anyways, I came across this one picture of her. It was an off guard picture and she had just tucked some of her hair behind her ears. She was standing behind the couch and looking at Cesar play on the PS4. I had just woken up from a nap and when I saw the two of them like that I wanted to take a picture. I didn't want to forget the feeling that I got when all of us were together, like a family.

I couldn't take my eyes off of the picture. Big mistake. Big, costly mistake. I didn't see the prophets roll up from the other end of the street. And by the time I did, it was too late. They were already shooting. 

Bullets flew through the impala's windows. I quickly threw myself out of the passenger door to take cover from the shooting. Once Santi realized what was happening he stormed out of the dry cleaner's and started shooting back. Once he started shooting, their bullets died down. I jumped up then and grabbed my gun from the back of my pants. We both kept shooting until our clips were empty. 

The prophets car sped off just as that happened. They must have ran out of bullets too. 

Santi looked at me. "Hey fool, you good?" I just nodded. But Santi looked down at me and frowned. He grabbed my shoulder. "Spooky! You got hit fool!" He pointed down at my blood-stained t-shirt. 

I lifted my shirt and frowned. Shit, I did get hit. 

Santi pulled me over to the passenger side again. "Get in foolk, we gotta get you to the house." I nodded and got into the car. I watched Santi speed off to the house while making phone calls to the other Santos. Once we pulled into my yard Santi ran around to my side of the car to help me inside. I looked over across the street. "Tell Riella to come over here please. Tell her I need her." Santi nodded and helped me inside. 

He helped me over to the table in the living room and started to make some phone calls. Then he handed me an ice pack and some towels. "Here, apply pressure." I nodded and laid back on the table. I can't lie, this shit hurt. A lot. It wasn't my first time getting shot, but my first time was just a graze. 

Sad Eyes rushed in the door with Sky. Santi explained to them what happened. Sky sat down at the table and started pulling out of her nursing shit. She told me to lay back and get comfortable. I looked over at Santi. "Where is Riella?" He shook his head. "She's not answering her phone." I frowned slightly. "Then go over there and get her." 

Sky looked at me. "Spooky I need you to calm down so I can get you stitched up, okay?" I shook my head. "I need Riella here. Now." She sighed and looked over at Sad Eyes and Santi. Sad Eyes grabbed his phone and called someone. He walked back outside so we couldn't hear his conversation. Then he came back inside. "She should be here shortly." I nodded and laid back down. 

After a minute or two, Riella ran inside and directly over to me. She grabbed my hand and I squeezed it tight. Sky gave us a small smile. I looked down at her and gave her a nod. Telling her it was okay for her to start. Then I looked back up at Riella. I need this girl in my life. Fuck everything else. She is what matters most and I'm not going to let her go. 

After another minute or so, Angel walked in. He seemed a little upset at first but then his face softened when he saw me on the table. He spoke with Sad Eyes and Santi and they filled him in on everything. I squeezed Riella's hand again. "Riella, I'm sorry." She nodded and looked at me. "I know, it's okay. Don't worry about that now. Okay?" I shook my head, "No, when it happened...Umm." I winced from the pain and adjusted myself some. "When it happened, all I could think about was you and our fight. I'm sorry muñeca. I'm sorry. I don't want to fight anymore."

She looked at me with so much worry. "Okay." She nodded. "Then we're not fighting anymore."

That's all I needed to hear. I need Riella in my life. I need her.
