End Game

"Pew, Pew, Pew"

"Pow, Pow, Pow"

Bullets zipped through the air as Cooda flew down the street trying to dodge whoever was chasing and shooting at him. With all that had been going on it could've been anybody at this point. Snooty was with him hanging out the window shooting back.

"Man these nigga's not letting up, " yelled Snooty reloading the gun.

"These niggas are going to die today."

"Pow, Pow, Pow, "

This was like some movie type of shit. Cooda was driving for his life as he bent corners trying to lose them. They were in this together. The plan was currently going south now his niece, sister, and Alex was nowhere to be found.

16 hours earlier...,

"Ring, Ring, Ring"

The sound of the hospital phone ringing non-stop woke Alex up from his sleep. He had finally been able to close his eyes. Sleeping in a hospital wasn't as comfortable as you would think. Doctors and nurses coming in and out, poking and probing you was uncomfortable, and so was the lack of sleep. He wasn't severely injured because he wasn't an easy target. You couldn't be out here lacking, you had to know how to protect yourself. He finally decided to answer because it must've been important.

"Hello!" said Imani with an angry tone in her voice.

"Hello, " mumbled Alex

Imani's toned changed after hearing Alex's voice. He sounds as if he was in pain, and she couldn't bring herself to be mean to him.

"Why did I have to find out from Amina that you were in the hospital? Do you not care about us at all?"

"How did you talk to Amina? And I'm sorry, it's not like your brother knows about us. I couldn't just tell him to have you call me."

"I was calling your phone non-stop last night she answered, but I'm tired of being your secret, and we both know Ginger is yours, "

"Imani, It's not the right time for all of this. I will have a talk with Corey, but I'm not leaving Amina."

    She was stunned by the words that left his mouth. What did Amina have that she didn't? Imani wasn't the type to second guess herself but Alex had a way of making her self-doubt. But she loved him, so he could do no wrong in her eyes.

"Why not? What is she doing for you that I'm not ?" asked Imani

"Because of shit like this! You always think you need to be in control of some shit. I love you but she lets me lead. She makes me feel like a man, and you don't. I told you this wasn't the right time and you don't give a fuck,"

"I'm sorry, I love you. I just want us to be together, and I don't want her in the picture. " said a crying Imani

        The whimpers Imani let out instantly changed Alex's attitude. He didn't want to hurt her feelings but things weren't the same anymore. He continued to talk to her, trying to get her to understand that he had everything under control. She wasn't good at trusting people but if that's what it took to have him she would. 

      Imani wasn't the only one willing to accept the situations that had been going on in her life. Phoenix was pregnant with her first child, and she wasn't about to let some hood rat come and ruin these special moments with her and Mario. They were finally on the same page and that meant a lot to her.  She laid in bed watching him sleep as she let her thoughts take over before her alarm started to go off. 
"Beep, Beep, Beep"  blared the alarm jolting him up
