My heart literally stop. Was I the one that hit him. Is he dead. Oh God I'm too small to go to jail. I won't make it. All types of thoughts where going through my head. We all had this look on our face like we had seen a ghost.  So we start stepping back slowly until it turned into a run. By that time my heart was already out my chest. We made it back to the school close to our last period. Damn what the fuck happened to the time. Were we gone that long. We split up once we were inside, everyone going their own way. I ran into the bathroom almost out of breath. Looked in the mirror, place my back against the wall and slid to the floor and closed my eyes. Tears rolled down my face because I knew my life was over. "Awe papi what's wrong, where you been". Angels' voice broke the silence as she wipped the tears from my face. She sat down on top of my lap. She kissed my forehead. Than she kissed the side of my face. Last she kissed my upper lip. We gazed into each other eyes. I thought to myself , You can't do this ...this your homeboy girl....well at least one of them. But by that time it was too late. Angel had already grabbed my face and kissed me harder. Did I stop her? Hell naw! I needed that at the moment and it was like she could read it on my face.

I was quite on the bus back home. I sat in the front by my self. The guns were whipped out and place back in Big OG's car. Xavier and Chris when back to the cut to see the body. Kevin road home with Angel and her crew which was fine by me because I couldn't bear to look at him. Not after what I had done. As I stepped off the bus I constantly looked behind me , thinking a police officer was going to pull up.  I finally made it to the back of the neighborhood where my house was. I went straight to my room and shut my door, laid down on the bed and pulled a blanket over me.

Hours went by. My mom walks in my room to see if I'm OK, wondering why I'm not jumping around the house bothering her. As I get up, I promise her I'm OK and was just sleepy. I took my sweatshirt off and turned on the shower. I just wanted to be by my self the whole night.
