I took in my surroundings

I took in my surroundings. I looked at the IV. The heart monitor and then another machine.

I frowned

Why was I here?

The sound of the heart monitor beeping next to me was annoying. My eyes landed on Sierra who was crying

I looked down at her hand holding mine.

She was crying but she wasn't speaking.

I wanted to know why I was in the hospital. I wanted to ask her what happened.

I opened my mouth, My mind spoke but I couldn't hear words come out of it.

I tried again but there was nothing.

Why couldn't i speak?
What was wrong with my voice?

I looked down at my body, I tried to move it, but I couldn't feel it. It was like my brain and my whole body was detached.

In a few seconds everyone bursted in my room.

The core 4. Uncle Dwayne, Pablo and Benji and then my mother and father walked in.

I frowned

What was she doing here?

They were all talking, I didn't understand a thing they were saying.  Everyone was crying

What the fuck were they crying for.

I stared at the wall infront of me.

I couldn't bare to see their faces if myself had no idea what they were crying about.

Their voices annoyed me.
There was way too many of them talking.

My head started spinning
I closed my eyes hoping it would stop but the noise didn't.

I could feel my fingers twitching
I was starting to get angry.

If only they would shut up.

I opened my mouth to try and talk to them. My throat was dry.

I wanted water but no one was paying attention to me. They were all stuck in their own world.

They were looking at me but they weren't seeing me.

"Can you all please shut the fuck up." I finally managed to say.

I wanted to cry.
I thought I had gone mute.
I thought that I couldn't speak.

Who knew my annoying voice would bring me joy.

I couldn't wait to talk shit

They all stopped talking and stared at me with wide eyes.

I kept my frown on my face.

"Honey are you okay." My mum walked over to me grabbing my hand.

I glared down at her hands in mine.

"Do not touch me."
I yanked my hand away from her.

She looked at me with hurt in her eyes.

She should imagine the hurt she's caused me all my life

"Pablo, B-benji....Sierra and Jamal. Stay. The rest of you leave."  I said staring at the same wall that I've taken interest in.

I didn't look at anyone else until I was sure the four was the only one in my room.

Peace

I sat there in complete silence as they all waited for me to speak up

"Where's Oscar?"
Why wasn't he here?

I looked around the room and they all avoided my gaze.

"Do you know what happened?"  Sierra asked approaching me carefully

I shook my head.
"I don't remember anything... the last thing I remember was... I don't know what I remember." I tried to think but I couldn't. 

"Urhm, you were jumped by the Prophets."  Pablo spoke up and Benji elbowed him in the stomach

"You're not suppose to tell her that fool
Doctor said to take it easy." He frowned at his friend.

Jumped?

I don't remember being Jumped. The only thing I remebered was the alley I walked into and the Prophet punching me in the face. I wouldn't call that me being jumped. I was fine.

"It can't be that serious, the guy only punched me in the face."

They all frowned.

"No Leigh, you were walking home, and five guys jumped you. You were hurt badly Leigh..... you nearly didn't make it.." Jamal sobbed.

Nearly?

"What are you guys talking about?"

"You've been in a coma for 4 months Leigh-Anne." Sierra spoke softly.

My eyes widened and that's when everything came back to me.

Oscar.
The strip club.
The prophets
Gunshots

I felt my head throbbing as I remebered how many times it connected with the concrete ground.

I remember hearing gunshots. I remember waiting for it to to hit me but it never came.

I remembered the neck tattoo.

I felt my body starting to shake. My eyes rolled back and I lost control.

"Nurse.. Nurse." I could hear being called but I couldn't see.

I just felt it
And then I blacked out.
