Khalil POV
I woke up in a hospital, the sounds of beeping machines filled my ears. I forgot everything that happened the last night so I didn't know what the hell was going on....
"Oh great your up" said a nurse as she was walking in my room. Then all of a sudden I feel a sting in my right leg, "Damn my leg hurt like hell" the nurse gave me a sympathetic look "yeah you got shot in the leg last night".
I looked at her crazy, she must not know what she talking about, who would want to shoot me? I'm just a kid that goes to school and don't mess with nobody!!! "It says in your papers that you were actually hit with a stray bullet, some guys were trying to do a drive by on someone's house and you just so happen to be walking by it" she said looking down at some papers.
"Well that makes a lot more sense" I said looking down at my aching leg. "But you'll be outta here soon we just called your mother she'll be here by tomorrow". Wait what? My mom? Ohhhhh my foster mom must've just told them that so they would stop calling her, she don't give a damn bout me. Ima just leave tonight when nobody's paying attention.
*30 mins later*
About 5 minutes ago the nurse gave me crutches just in case I needed to uses the restroom, so now at this point I'm ready go, I grabbed my book bag surprisingly they didn't go through it because the gun was still there, now all I need to do is try to leave the building without anyone noticing.
As I'm leaving the room and going down the hall I hear laughter, I look to see where it's coming from and I see a family at a vending machine. A father, a mother, and 2 kids. To see that and knowing my situation, you would probably think that it would make me angry, but it didn't. Surprisingly it made me feel good seeing that family happy even though I wasn't happy with my own life, seeing that family happy made me hopeful. One day Ima grow up and have a family, I promise I'll NEVER leave them and I promise I'll ALWAYS love and take care of them.
As I get out of my thoughts I see that the family was heading back to the room they were in and the elevator finally opened.
Once I got off the elevator I look around and down the hall I see a emergency exit door, once I get to the door I look around one last time and I left.

Sherhonda's POV
I called everyone to ATL for an emergency meeting and luckily nobody was far away. I go downstairs and I see my 3 kids, 3 of my grandkids, star, and Kentrell's other 4 siblings (you guys know who they are). "So everyone I have some very important news" I said as I was looking at my very confused looking family. "Ma what is it? I got some hoes to entertain" Kendell said rolling his eyes. "Boy what the hell I tell you bout that mouth? Anyways I have been holding this from you all for as long as possible but now is the time to you all." By the look on all they're faces I could tell they wanted me to get it out. "I have another son" The room was filled with surprised faces, a lot of what's? And a lot of how's? "Ma your way too old to be pregnant" Kendell said looking disappointed. "No I had him a while back...11 years ago"
*5 hours later*
Ok so answering all the questions everyone was pretty cool about it, because they understood that my heart was in the right place at the time. I didn't mean for Khalil to grow up in a bad neighborhood. The only ones that are upset with me about it is Kentrell and Teelee. But they agreed with me in going to Chicago tomorrow morning to get Khalil.... let's see how this goes.
