he kissed her forehead and calmed her down, her face was puffy and flushed from all the crying she had done over the past few hours.

"this feels like what happened ta sasha all over again." she muttered.

"it do, but god don't make no mistakes everything happens fa a reason." he said and she nodded.

she got up and stood up from her chair, "is she okay?"

"yes, but she's currently in critical condition luckily the two bullets to her back missed all her vital organs. she lost a lot of blood from the wounds to her shoulder and leg, but she's fine." doctor mason told her.

"oh thank god, can we see her?" miss. gina asked with hopeful eyes.

"of course she's in room 307, but please be careful with her. i'd avoid any hugs right now," he told her.

"okay thank you so much." doctor mason left the room and everybody woke up.

"that was the doctor?" whitley asked.

"yeah, he said we can go see her but she's in critical condition at the moment." miss. gina told them and the nodded.

everybody walked to troy's room in silence and they stood at the door not wanting to open it.
