The machines echoed loudly throughout the halls of the hospital. Guests watched as the doctors rushed in and out of their assigned rooms dealing with their patients.

The time had just hit seven pm. TJ and the rest of his entourage sat impatiently waiting for two and a half hours for at least one doctor to come with updates.

The drive by caught everyone off guard, even Dave didn't understand why his men would pull something like that. His plan was to capture Destinee and go. The drive by led to JB getting shot, he took two bullets to the chest. Due to the boys coming armed and prepared it wasn't a pretty sight.
Dave ended up having to be rushed to the hospital along with JB, both Cam and TJ made sure of that.

After about an extra twenty minutes of waiting, Dr.Graham finally came. He held a clipboard in his hands that contained some information.

"Family of Jeremiah Brooks." Dr.Graham called out.

Everyone quickly stood up. Dr.Graham looked down at his clipboard rereading the information he wrote down before placing his attention back onto them, "Good evening everyone. Mr.Brooks is fine, we were able to safely remove the bullets. He'll have to he wrapped up in a bandage for a few weeks, make sure he keeps his wounds clean along with the bandage. He's good to go, I'll get his prescription sent over to the pharmacy he has on his files."

Everyone nodded their heads letting him know that they understood.

"Does anyone have any questions?"

"Can we go see him?"

"Sure. He's in room two fifteen."

They searched the halls until they found room two fifteen. Walking in, they saw JB laying in bed flipping through TV channels, his chest was freshly wrapped in a bandage. He slowly turned his attention towards the door, he made sure to take his time when moving around. His body was in too much pain.

He would put himself through all of that pain again if it would prevent his friends from having to go through it.

He looked over at his friends and smirked, both Cam and TJ returned the same goofy smirk. As they socialized, Destinee stayed clung onto TJ's side. She felt out of place, her and JB never necessarily talked out their differences.

The whole shooting still had her shook, even though she seen Dave being rushed to the hospital as well, she still didn't feel safe.

Once the boys were busy conversing, TJ turned his attention to Destinee. By her body language he could tell that she still felt uneasy, "you good?" He asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You think I don't know when you lying?" He questioned, "If you feel uncomfortable let me know."

"This isn't about me, spend time with JB. I told you that I'm fine."

He fanned her off completely ignoring what she just said to him. He never kept her somewhere where she's uncomfortable and he wasn't about to start doing that. After everything that happened today he refused to just ignore how she's feeling.

"I'm about to go drop Des off, I'll be back in a few." He told the boys, they dapped each other up before TJ left with Destinee not too far behind him.
