Trapgirl: Thugs Know Love

Chapter 13: Dream

Daya POV

"Dre baby!" I yelled as he lay under me. "Open your eyes!" I was rubbing his forehead back and forth which was something I learned in my medical ed class.

He slowly eased his eyes open.  "Look at me! Look at me!" I said as he went to close his eyes again.

I looked over at Tes who was standing there in shock and then he ran over to us. He was kneeled on the ground next to me.

"Make sure he keeps his eyes open Tes!" I told him running up to the porch to get my phone. I quickly dialed 911.

"911, what's your emergency?" The dispatcher answered.

"A little boy just got shot on 4582 Henderson Ave! Please please hurry!" I yelled into the phone and threw it down.

I looked in the house and saw Kaya and her friends looking out the door.

"Kaya get in the house now and don't come out!"

I ran back down to Tes and Dre on the lawn. Tes was just sitting in the grass next to his brother who looked lifeless.

"Dre open your eyes! Look at me right now! You gonna be fine. I know it hurts but just look at me!" I yelled more while stroking his forehead.

"Daya what happened? It hurt," he struggled to get out.

"Shhhhhhhh," I said while covering his mouth. "Don't talk, just look at me. I promise you'll be okay."

"Tes go get me some water." I told him. He just sat there staring into blank space. "Tes!" I yelled continuing to rub Dre forehead.

Dre was looking at me a little bit stronger eyes more open than before. That was when Tes fainted. Two brothers lay next to each other. Dre looked over and grabbed his hand. He held it.

"What's wrong Tes?" I asked and then I realized the wet stain on the shoulder part of his dark colored shirt. Tes was shot too. I checked to make sure he still had a pulse and I felt it beating.

"Tes wake up!" That was when I began to hear the sound of an ambulance faintly approaching.

"Thank you Daya." Dre told me looking me in the eye. He looked over to Tes who still layed next to him unconscious. "I love you big brother."

Drelon Hezekiah James died right before the ambulance pulled up to my house. A little boy that could bring a smile to anyone's face and brighten anyone's day was called up to heaven to play with the rest of God's angels. One day we'll see him again, but for now, he's our own guardian angel. May his soul rest in peace.

I was on my way to the hospital. After taking the rest of the kids to their houses and Kaya with one of my neighbors, I arrived to the trauma center. Tes was shot in the shoulder and was currently in surgery to remove the bullet from his left shoulder.

On the way there, I called Mrs James and it was hard as fuck to tell her what happened. Good thing she was with one of her friends. I explained to Mrs James what happened but when she fainted her friend picked up the phone and I explained what happened what happened to her. I told her Tes was at the hospital but I didn't know whether they were coming or not.

I also called Quanstan. I told him everything and could hear his voice cracking up with tears ready to fall when I was done. He said he would get everyone else together and they was on their way to the hospital asap.

When I got there, all I could do was cry. So far I was the only one there and I didn't know what was going on. All I saw was them take away Tes in an ambulance and Dre in the coroner van. Everything else was up in the air.
