William...

Chapter 43...

KANI POV—

It's been a few days, since the news about William spread. When I first found out that Will got shot, I was in disbelief. I cried for hours. Even though I cheated on him, I still cared for him deeply.

What makes it worse, he was shot by Andre. I didn't know that dude would be crazy enough to do something like this. They still haven't caught him yet, but rumor has it, that the cops are getting close to finding him.

I took an Uber to the hospital, where Will was staying because I just needed to see him. The last time we talked was that day in English class. That couldn't be our last memory.

I walked into the hospital to see his mother at the front desk.

"Hi, Ms. Pierce." I said, walking up to the counter.

"Hi, may I help you with something?" She asked, dryly.

"Umm...I was wondering why you were out here and not with Will."

"I check on Will every second I get. I just can't sit there and watch my baby when I'm not able to do anything to help him."

"Well, it's good you're working. I was actually wondering if I could see him?"

"Why should I let you? You hurt my baby's heart. Yeah, I know what you did. I don't know if that's a good idea." She said, shuffling papers on the desk.

"I know what I did was wrong, but it would mean the world to me if I got to see him for a few minutes. I haven't been able to sleep after I found out the news." I cried.

She looked me up and down.

"Fine, you got 5 minutes, but don't think this means he's going to forgive you cause you came to visit." She said, walking me to his room.

I walked in to see Will hooked up to all these different machines. It honestly broke my heart to see him like this. This once glowing, happy soul was covered in wires and tubes.

I walked up to the side of his bed and held his hand. I watched him as he laid there. He looked like he was sleeping peacefully.

"If I could change everything, I would. If we were still together, you would be fine right now.  If I could get a second chance, I wouldn't mess it up this time." I whispered to him as tears fell.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek and hugged him the best I could.

I heard the door open and Leah walked in with balloons.

"I know you're fucking lying right now!" Leah shouted.

"Listen, Leah I'm not here to fight. I just wanted to see Will."

"You've seen him, so get the fuck out."

"It doesn't have to be like this Leah."

"I don't care, so get the fuck out, before I make you get out."

"Fine." I said, aggravated.

I looked at Will one more time and just wished that he'd wake up.

I walked past Leah, making my way out the door.

LEAH POV—

That bitch had some nerve showing her face around here. If she thought she'd get some type of validation for being here, she thought wrong.

I placed the balloons I bought next to Will's bedside. I sat in the chair that was next to his bed and grabbed his hand as I stared at him sleeping.
