MORE THAN FRIENDS

Tradegy

   In the midst of gun shots, Wallace, Jamel and Kabron pulled out their guns from their waist and began shooting back. The whole neighborhood was ducking and diving to safety from getting a bullet up their asses. Kyra and Meona froze in pain out of fear before Kabron quickly leaped over and knocked them both down to the ground. Stevie and Houston came running out just as the car sped away and They all continued to shoot at the car until it was gone out of site. Wallace stood there looking down the block with everyone else in shock at what just happened. Nobody could believe what just happened, but they all knew instantly where and who the shots came from.

Wallace shook his head as he slowly turned around. Suddenly the frowned look on his face turned into a devastating look. Everyone turned when they noticed him run over to his baby sister on the ground clinging for life.
"Fuck fuck fuck" he yelled as him and his father rushed over to Ayesha's side. Blood was pouring from her neck and chest as she continued to struggle to breath with her head in Wallace lap.

Houston felt like he feet were glued to the concrete as he watched his baby girl body go into convulsions. It was like his world was spinning and he couldn't stop it. The ambulance pulled up and quickly placed her on the stretcher before rushing her away. Everyone hopped in their cars and rushed to the hospital to be with Ayesha. Houston and Wallace were the first ones there and not too far behind were everyone else.

Sir ... Sir you have to stay here" the nurse told Houston as he tried to go back to the surgery room with his daughter.
"That's my child".
"I understand sir, but you have to let them do what they do best to save your daughter's life" she told him as she held him back.  Wallace grabbed a disstressed Houston while they watched the doctor's wheel his little sister in the back with blood leaking from her body. Seeing his sister like that devastated him, he tried to protect her, but he was too late. He didn't know that she was even hit at first until he noticed her on the ground. Now she was here in the hospital fighting for her life.

Minutes turned into hours and they still hadn't got a word back yet. The longer they waited the more impatient they all got. Houston was going crazy and so was Wallace, but Stevie, Jamel and Kabron were all right there to comfort them. Tabitha had the girls under control as they sat in shock and confusion. She tried to keep Meona calm not only because she was pregnant, but because she was right there next to Ayesha when she got shot. Her scream caught everyone's attention as she grabbed Ayesha's body when she hit the ground.
All that was still on her brain and she couldn't move nor talk. Seeing Ayesha on that ground was really fucking with her, that girl was so sweet and innocent and she didn't deserve none of this. Tears rolled down her eyes as the flashbacks kept hitting her hard,  watching Ayesha struggle for air pained her.
"You okay baby"? Jamel asked as he leaned down in front of her.  She nodded her head up and down, but Jamel knew that was far from the truth.  Her legs were shaking and the look on her face held nothing, but pain and that hurt him more. Everyone around him was crying and hurt and it was nothing he could do.
"Babe imma get someone to take you home so you can rest" he told her in a whisper voice.
Shaking her head no "I'm gonna stay Jamel I'm fine" she said in a calm, but stern voice. It was no way she was gonna walk out of that emergency room without knowing Ayesha's condition. Dried up blood stained were on her clothes and skin, but right now that was her less of her worries.

Stevie stood by his brother's side trying to keep him together. His brother just witnessed his only daughter get shot and she had nothing to do with none of this mess.
"I'm fucked up bro" Houston stated with his skaking hands holding up his chin. His eyes were red and his mind was on a thousand. How could the only son of his dead brother's do this? After taking him in and trying to give him things and raise him so his mother wouldn't have to worry. Tyson's mother struggled to raise him and it didn't help the fact that she turned into a junkie and an drunk after her babyfather was murdered. So Houston stepped in, cared for him and he felt like all this was a punch the face from his nephew.
"Fuck" he yelled as his smacked at his forehead out of guilt. He just kept replaying in his head how he could have avoided this from happening.

"She gonna be good bro... Ayesha's a strong girl"Tabitha stated as she walked over and grabbed Houston's hand with heavy tears in her eyes.  She watched her grow up from a baby and to know this happened to her not only had her heartbroken, angry. At this point she wanted to hunt Tyson down and shoot him dead. It was no secret about who did this, everyone knew who to point the finger at and they all shared different emotions.

"Bro I swear I thought I would never say this, but I gotta break my promise to our brother" Houston said leaving Stevie clueless.
"What you talking about bro"?
Houston looked up at his brother with tears in his eyes "We promised Puff before he died that if anything ever happened to him that we would take care of Tyson.... That nigga's dead to me"Houston stood up with a death stare in his eyes.
The moment those words left his mouth the doctor came out the door causing everyone to jump up and rush over to him. By the look on his face confused them because they wasn't sure if it was a good look or a bad.

"We did all we could to save her, but I'm sorry to inform you that she died at ten fifty - three". The room held some many cries and screams that it was even emotional for the doctor to stand there and watch. It took everyone to separate and calm Wallace and Houston down because they were both going crazy.

When everyone left the emergency room it was only Houston and Stevie who remained there. Houston was so out of it that he didn't know if he was coming or going. Stevie just sat there and let his brother have his moment, he wouldn't knew what to do if something happened to Jamel so he understood his pain. He hurt bad for his niece, but it was nothing like a father's pain.

Once Jamel,Kyra, Kabron and Meona walked through the front door Jamel and Kyra help her up the steps until she stopped in the middle stairs. She waved her hand and told them she was okay and it was okay for them to release her. She just wanted to take a shower and forget about what happened. The whole rest of the walk upstairs she silently cried. Even when she got in the shower she continued to cry her eyes out for Ayesha.
Even though the whole family were in different areas they all shed tears for the death of Ayesha.
Kabron and Kyra both sat side by side with tears in there eyes while Jamel sat back in deep thought.
Wallace sat off in his dark living room and cried as he looked at pictures on his phone of him and his baby sister.
After this, Nobody would be the same.
