Chapter 11: Part 2

I knew she hated me. She had to. Before I came everything was probably normal. Hell I would hate me to if some random ass bitch came, fucked up my life, and got which ever one of my friends shot.

She hates me.

It felt like forever, but we pulled into the hospital.

My stomach flipped. I couldnt take it anymore. I jumped out the car and threw up any and everything that attempted to rest on my stomach.

I put my hands on my knees as I tried to catch my breath.

The car door opened and Skylar got out.

"Hey. Tasha says she doesnt want to get out the car so Im going to stay with her and the kids."

I looked at her with tears in my eyes. I knew what she was going to make me do and I couldnt. I couldnt do it.

"You have to go in there."

"Angelina. Look at me. You are strong. Now go in there and find out what happened." She kissed me on my forehead and got back in the car.

I took a deep breath and walked into the door. I searched around and found Marcus. And only Marcus.

I ran to him an gave him a hug.

"Who got shot Marcus."

He looked at me with sadness. No .. Aint no way.

Marcus opened his mouth to speak but I heard nothing.

I looked passed him to see Dontè. He had blood all over him.

Somehow I knew that it wasnt his own.

He looked me in my eyes. His eyes were dark and cold. He turned back around and walked out the doors. I shook my head. He couldnt have.

All I could think about was Tasha. How she got all worked up about the situation. Especially when she talked about the last person to cross him.

But the Donte I know wouldn't dare. But the thing is, do I even know him.

But not Scoop. Aint no way.

All because of me.

".. Scoop saw them coming and he jumped in front of King."

Wait what.

"Marcus slow down. Start over."

He had a seat and put his face in his hands.

"Look man. I was outside talking to King. He was coo until I brought up Scoop then it looked like he blacked out. I tried to get him to chill, then Scoop came outside..."

He took a deep breath. I could tell that everything was replaying in his mind as if he was there again.

"Before they could get a word out, tires screeched and this car let out shots. On instinct I ducked and Scoop pushed Dontè out the way and took a hit."

"But they wasn't done."

"What do you mean."

He took another breath. He shook his head. 

"The car went around the neighborhood and set off more shots. I couldnt do anything because I left my strap in the house. I shouldnt have to wear a gun in my own house Angel."

I could tell he was hurt. I couldnt even try to place myself in his shoes.

"How is Tasha?"  He looked up with tears in his eyes. 

"Shes okay. Im pretty sure she hates me."

He looked up at me in disgust. Like I had triggered something.
