Armoni POV:

The whole ride to the hospital, all types of thoughts were running through my mind. I was trying not to think the worst but I couldn't help it. Then the guilt set in; I had been so mean and standoffish towards Jerome, the past few months. He and I hadn't been talking and we weren't on speaking basis with each other. If the worst happens and he doesn't make it, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

And poor Aaliyah. Baby girl was only seven, I know that she would be traumatized from this. Seeing her father get shot right in front of her and then being in a car accident, literally within the same few seconds. I just knew she would be scared. I just wanted to be with her because I knew she was more than likely alone at the hospital. Poor baby.

I didn't know Stanley all that well but he seems like a really nice guy and Tatiyana really cares for him. I just pray that all of them are okay and that their injuries are minor. "They'll be fine, Mookie." Tatiyana reassured me. I guess she could tell that I was worried by the look on my face.

"I hope so." I mumbled.

"Just think positive and everything will be okay. They're fighters." She said reaching over and grabbing my hand as she drove. She held my hand the whole way to the hospital, she was giving me the comfort that I needed. I don't deal with tragedy well, so on the inside I was in shambles. I was trying not to show it, but I was having a hard time trying to contain it.

I don't know how Tatiyana was able to stay so calm and positive in a situation like this. Both of her cousins and her boyfriend were just in a serious car wreck. Maybe it's because I'm so used to being dramatic in every situation, I just didn't know how to react.

"You need some Beyonce in your system so you can calm the hell down. You're making my nerves bad too." She joked, making me crack a small smile. She let go of my hand to turn on the radio, and as soon as she did, Dangerously In Love came on.

Baby I love you
You are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete
If you weren't by my side
You're my relation
In connection to the sun
With you next to me
There's no darkness I can't overcome
You are my raindrops
I am a seed
With you and God, who's my sunlight
I bloom and grow so beautifully
Baby, I'm so proud
So proud to be your girl
You make the confusion
Go all away
From this cold and mixed up world

I am in love with you
You set me free
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me
The way I love you loving me

'Cause I am in love with you
You set me free
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me
The way I love you loving me

And I know you love me
Love me for who I am
'Cause years before I became who I am
Baby you were my man
I know it ain't easy
Easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication
From you to me
Later on in my destiny
I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife
And I see my whole future in your eyes
Thought of all my love for you
Sometimes make me wanna cry
Realize all my blessings
I'm grateful to have you by my side

I am in love with you
You set me free
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me
The way I love you loving me
