Mell POV
I was on my way to school this morning but I got a call from Marcus talking about Josiah. I instantly made a sharp U turn caring less about the horns and road rage people that I was receiving.
.... ..
Once I got to Marcus and Khalil house, I called Marcus, letting him know that I was outside.
Marcus opened the door and I walked inside, slipping my phone in my pocket.
"So what happened ?", I asked.
I started walking upstairs leaving for him to follow.
"Shai and I were driving and she got a call that Josiah was in trouble. The crazy shit was that he was in the Northside."
I looked at him funny, "Why was he on the Northside ?"
That's like a suicide wish.
"That's what I was tryna figure out, but when we got there he was all messed up. He was stabbed in the back and he had a gash going down his abdomen."
We stopped in front of his door.
"You stitched him up ?"
He nodded, "Yeah, it was minor bruises to what I thought he would have."
"His ass should be lucky he alive."
I opened the door and saw Josiah sleeping on the bed.
I closed the door, "Where's Shai ?"
"I think she's in one of the other guest room.", He said.
We walked down the hall and I opened the next room door, but it was empty. We walked down to the other room and I opened the door to see Shai sleeping.
I closed the door, "Why is she- I'm not even gonna ask."
"Thanks for what you did.", I told him.
We dapped each other, "No problem."
"I'm gon' head to school with your bro and Snoop. I'll scoop them up after."
"Cool."
"Aight, peace."
I started walking back downstairs and I closed the door behind me.

Shai POV
I woke up feeling drained and not even wanting to move an inch. I slept in a different guest room because I couldn't really take being in the room with all that.
I knew my eyes were puffy because I was crying all last night. Josiah really did scared me.
I got up and grabbed my phone off the night stand. I looked at the thirty-six missed calls, 23 from Mom, 12 from Dad and one from work.
Shit.
I already knew my parents were calling me about my whereabouts from last night. Damn, I missed school today too.
I'm in some deep shit.
I threw my phone next to me and got up from the bed. I walked down to the other room Josiah was in and peeked my head inside.
I saw that he was sleeping and I let out a breath before quietly closing the door.
I never been here before, so I was kind of lost looking for the bathroom.
I found myself in where I'm guessing is Marcus room, because I saw a lot of shoes lined up on the floor and random caution tapes on the walls.
Yep. definitely Marcus room.
