i rocked back and forth in my chair, staring at the floor. i've been at the hospital for 2 hours now and none of the doctors left leon's room yet.

draco, trey, elijah, and jahzell were all arguing with each other as lewis, makayla, nyomi, and lamelo were sat in the chairs next to mine.

"the shit happened two hours ago, there's nothing we can do now so just shut the fuck up already," trey said, putting his hands onto his hips.

elijah looked like he was ready to kill trey with the way he was acting.

"it could've been avoided. all of this. y'all should have never left! we needed the car to get to the hospital but instead i had to run through the rain to get this man to safety. where the fuck were y'all?" elijah yelled, getting into trey's face.

"y'all claim this yo bro for life, but when it comes down to it, y'all wouldn't even lend a hand," jahzell joined in, shaking his head.

i closed my eyes and buried my face into my hands. none of this was hitting me yet. i feel like i'm in some type of dream because this can't be real.

i reopened my eyes and looked over at nyomi who had her eyes closed as she leaned her head against the wall behind her. tears stained her cheeks and she held a box of tissues in her right hand.

i sat up and leaned my head onto nyomi's shoulder.

like old times.

"i told him not to go. he told me everything was going to be okay. i believed him because he never lied to me before," i whispered.

nyomi wrapped her left arm around me, "they been in there for awhile, he has to be okay," nyomi told me, but even she didn't sound so sure of that.

it was 1 in the morning and the rain got even harder outside, smacking into the windows. i looked in front of me in the lobby and saw lewis had his head on makayla's shoulder as he snored. makayla was also knocked out.

lamelo was sat next to me, watching the guys scream at each other. jahzell sat besides him with draco as elijah and trey were standing in the middle of the lobby just arguing with one another.

before i could say anything, the door to the room leon was staying in opened and a doctor finally came out.

i lifted my head as he walked over to us. everyone stared at him in silence waiting for the news.

"friends and family of leon williams?" the doctor asked and we all nodded our head slowly. the doctor grabbed his clipboard and adjusted it in his hands.

"leon williams was shot twice in the abdomen and three times in the chest. none of the bullets went through to the other side so they were stuck in his body, blocking his esophagus making it hard for him to breath. me and 6 other doctors had to perform surgery immediately to take out the bullets and prevent further damage. this was a very hard job to do because to get to the bullets in his chest, we had to be extremely careful and take our time so we wouldn't disturb the heart or the other vital organs," he told us.

"before we started the surgery, we hooked him up to a heart monitor and the entire time his heart rate was dangerously low. his heart rate dropped completely and was close to only 10 beats per minute, so we had to stop the operation and put him on life support which is a machine that allows patients to stay alive even when their organs have failed to work. we will give it a month for him to get better, but if he's in the same condition, we will have to turn it off due to legal reasons,"
