*In the house wit all the peeps*

Lacey POV:

Lacey:OH SHIT! Let's go see what that was.

We walk out and first I see Marques bleeding but he was also crying.

(A/N: He had moved outta the way after Brittany had taken her shirt off.)

Lacey:Marques...whats wrong?

Marques:The muthafuckin coward shot Brittany.

Lacey:What...NO!....OH GOD NO!

I go runnin and see Brittany layin on the ground...she had been shot in the stomach but she was still concious.

Lacey:Brittany you selfish lil bitch...I told you not to come out here but no! You had to ignore me.

By this time I was in tears.

Brittany:(smiles)I told you not to worry bout me...Blood is thicker than water and ours don't come no thicker remember?

Lacey:Ya I remember..

Brittany:You know what that guy said to me before he shot me?

Lacey:What?

Brittany:He told me that he knows who I go out with and that's the reason people hate me and Jarell.

Lacey:Girl don't nobody hate you....and don't listen to him he don't kow what he talkin bout!It don't matter if you have an interracial relationship or not! YOU CAN'T HELP WHO YOU LOVE!You're not supposed to.You love Jarell with all your heart and he loves you back with that same amount of love.So what if other people think you're wrong...you and Jarell and all your friends and family know that yall are right.Don't let what other people say get to you.Ha but that ain't nothin to worry bout right now...we need to get you and Marques to the hospital before yall bleed ta death.

Brittany:Iight but you gon hafta carry me.

Lacey:I'll try just don't give up on us now.

Brittany:I'll try not to...

Jarell:OMG! Is she all right.

Lacey:NO! she's not all right we need ta get her and Marques to the hospital.

Jarell:Ya right...come on yall lets go.

Er'one:Iighty

*In the car almost at the hospital*

I'm sittin in the back holdin my sister on my lap tryin to keep her conscience...I was singin her one of her favorite songs to keep her awake...

Lacey: TLC -Waterfalls

A lonely mother gazing out of her window

Staring at a son that she just can't touch

If at any time he's in a jam

She'll be by his side

But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much

But all the praying just ain't helping

At all 'cause he can't seem to keep

His self out of trouble

So he goes out and he makes his money

The best way he knows how

Another body laying cold in the gutter

Listen to me

Chorus:

Don't go chasing waterfalls

Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that

You're used to

I know that you're gonna have it your way

Or nothing at all

But I think you're moving too fast

Little precious has a natural obsession

For temptation but he just can't see

She gives him loving that his body can't handle

But all he can say is baby it's good to me

One day he goes and takes a glimpse

In the mirror

But he doesn't recognize his own face

His health is fading and he doesn't know why

3 letters took him to his final resting place

Y'all don't hear me

Chorus

I seen a rainbow yesterday

But too many storms have come and gone

Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray

Is it because my life is ten shades of grey

I pray all ten fade away

Seldom praise Him for the sunny days

And like His promise is true

Only my faith can undo

The many chances I blew

To bring my life to anew

Clear blue and unconditional skies

Have dried the tears from my eyes

No more lonely cries

My only bleedin' hope

Is for the folk who can't cope

Wit such an endurin' pain

That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain

Who's to blame

For tootin' caine in your own vein

What a shame

You shoot and aim for someone else's brain

You claim the insane

And name this day and time

For fallin' prey to crime

I say the system got you victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations

In hopes of comin' true

Believe in yourself

The rest is up to me and you

Chorus



OH NO!...she's losin conscienceness.

Lacey:Jarell! Get us to the hospital FAST! I don't care if you go over the speed limit....we're losin her!(Starting to cry even harder)

Jarell:Oh fuck! I can't lose my babygirl!

*5 minutes later*

Jarell was pacing back and forth in the waiting room which was making me even more nervous.

Lacey:JARELL! Stop that she's gonna be fine.

Jarell:Ya maybe you're right.

He sits down.

Lacey:All right I'll be back I'm goin to that lil church they have here...if the doctor comes with info bout Brittany tell him to go there and let me know iight?

Er'one:(in tears and sobbin)Iight

So I go to the church.

Lacey:Oh dear Lord.Please don't let me lose my sister...she's the only true family I have left and if I lose her I'll lose myself....DON"T TAKE HER FROM ME...If you take her then I'm coming too and I don't wanna go...

I was cut off by a female voice.

FV:Hi um are you Lacey?

Lacey:Yes ma'am

FV:Hi I'm Dr. Simmons Brittany's doctor.

Lacey:Oh hi...umm how is she?

Dr. Simmons:Well she just got out of surgery...but she should be fine...it looks like all your praying worked.

She smiled at me and I smiled back.

Lacey:OK and what about Marques...the guy that went in with her?

Dr.Simmons:Well he can leave tonight...but Brittany will have to stay here for about a week.

Lacey:All right...but I'm almost positive that we're all gonna go get clothes and stay here until Brittany is released...oh and there are a few other people that might be coming but I'm not sure...

Dr.Simmons:Thats fine...But just how many people are we talkin about?

Lacey:Ummmm all together it'll be..

I counted off on my fingers..

Lacey:about 15 people all together here for her.

Dr. Simmons:Umm ok..I'll see what I can work out ok?

Lacey:All right.
