"Welcome to hell" Leon smirked.
My eyes fluttered open seeing all my friends standing over me. I sat up wincing in pain.
"Where's Rico?" I asked.
"That's watchu worried about right now? He the reason you got shot in the first place" Dinero frowned.
"Is he okay?" I asked.
"He's okay. He's in the room down the hall. Tre was just in here but he went to go see Rico.
"I wanna see him" I tried getting out of bed only for me to wince in pain.
"What the hell you doing Esme? You got shot you can't be walking right now" Dinero frowned.
"Go get Tre tell him she up" Sorell ordered.
Dinero looked at me one more time before him and Leon walked out.
Sorell smiled softly sitting on the edge of my bed grabbing my hand.
"How long was I out?" I looked at her.
"2 days. You had surgery, the bullet was close to hitting your lung. You was lucky" She sighed and I nodded.
"What happened with y'all two? How did you even end up getting shot?" She frowned.
"When I was at 7/11, I saw Rico cussing some girl out. She slapped him and he wasn't going like that so he punched her dead in her face. I guess she ain't take that well cuz she got her cousins and brothers on him. I happened to be outside while they was coming up to him" I explained.
"Damn. I'm glad y'all both okay." She hugged me.
"Me too" I sighed.
Apart of me wanted to go in a deep sleep again. I felt at peace.
"You wouldn't be in this if it wasn't for that nigga. His ass got anger issues" Sorell shook her head.
"She should've never hit him first" I shrugged.
"Not you taking up for him" She eyed me.
"I'm just saying" I rolled my eyes.
I watched my cousin Tre walk in making me smile.
"You can't be around Rico nomore" He spat making my smile fade.
"What?" I frowned.
"That's my cue" Sorell make a yikes face, walking out.
"You heard what the fuck I said. You been living here for 20 years and never been shot in yo life. Ion want you around him" He yelled.
"I'm grown. You can't tell me who I can't be around" I mugged him.
