Two days later..
Liyah-

Jamel held the gun to my temple causing me to look down with tears falling down my face.

"I fucking hate you." I told him before he took the safety off of the gun

I jumped awake before instantly feeling my stomach turn and I leaned over the bed before my daddy who was sitting bedside raised the trash can allowing me to throw up.

"I'm right here." He reassured before continuing to rub my neck in circles as I continued

After I finished I felt my chest tense up before I broke down crying this time harder then ever. My cry damn near sounded like a scream that I couldn't hold in anymore.

My daddy instantly pulled me into a tight hug before resting his head on top of mine. I could hear his heart beating out of his chest as if he was scared for me.

My ma walked in the room seconds later and I pulled back before she sighed and walked over. Jr and Ary followed behind before they all comforted me.

"I know it hurts, but we're here." My ma told me

"And it's a whole other family that wants to be here for you too Liyah. I know you don't want to be reminded, but laying here won't do much of w difference, and his family wants to be there for you-

"They don't wanna see me." I interrupted

"Why wouldn't they ?" Jr asked

"He lost his life because of me."

"Liyah that's not true-

"Saving me, oh my bad." I interrupted and My ma looked at me

"We don't want to push you towards anything that you're not ready for, but whenever you are just let me know ok ?" My ma asked and I nodded

"They're having his funeral kind of early on New Year's Eve, his Aunty and Zay arranged for you to be with them during it if you find the strength to go." My daddy told me and I didn't say anything

Him and my ma looked at each other before they all piled out and started leaving

Once the door shut I sighed before laying back and pulling out my phone for the first time in a while. It was full of messages and request from everyone comforting, and also everyone who was just being nosy.

As I replied to a few messages I came across a unusual one.

"Keep talking to the opps and see who you gon be screaming for next."

I sat up before furrowing my eyebrows and I shook my head before rubbing it. I eventually got up causing the oversized shirt that I Jain to fall to my knees, and I walked over towards the bathroom before taking a look in the mirror.

My face looked swollen, eyes were blood shot red, bags underneath, and I smelt terrible.

I took a deep breath before exhaling and running a shower.

Kay-

Kash couldn't handle seeing Liyah the was she was so he left no long after and jr followed him.

"Have you checked on Zay ?" Ary asked and I sighed

"I've sent a couple of messages no response, I've just been occupied with Liyah to actually go over there." I said as I continued getting ready.

"Ma.. that was his nephew. If Liyah's tore up like that imagine how he's feeling." She said and I sighed

"I know it's just, it's y'all over him of Course and I really just don't want to take my eyes off of Liyah." I said before clearing my throat and she looked at me
