Chapter 35

Athena

August 11th 9 am

Location: Bay's Playhouse

"Is everybody ok?" I looked around at everyone that was in the car. Nina and Rome looked fine, but my face fell when I noticed Grandma Rodriguez, she was pale. "Abuela Rodriguez, estás bien?" I jolted forward as Tool pulled off. (Grandma Rodriguez are you ok)

"Mi lado." She held her side. (My side)

I moved her hand gently out of the way and saw her clothes damped with blood, she had been shot, "Tool I thought you said everyone was fine!"

"Calm down you know how to do this, remember at the program."

"I thought she was from what I saw." He sped down the road.

I took a breath and turned back to Rome and Nina, "Close her eyes and keep her distracted." He did as I said.

Turning back to her I said, "Sientate derecho." (Sit straight) "Aplique tanta presión como pueda." (Apply as much pressure as you can) I pressed into her side, "Ver como esto." (See like this) "Are you close to the Play House." I directed the statement at Tool.

My ringtone began ringing and I yelled, "Rome I am going to need for you to grab my phone but tell Nina to close her eyes really tightly and tell me all of the Greek Mythology facts she knows."

He followed my directions and Nina soon began her knowledge on Greek Mythology and Rome said, "It's Bay."

"Answer it and tell him we're almost there but to have the doctor come in to check out your grandmother."

Rome answered the phone and spoke everything I told him to say, "He says do you know what's wrong with her."

I looked at her wound again but as soon as I let go she burst into a fit of coughs splatter blood on my shirt,

"She probably has internal bleeding, but I guess you could say it's somewhere in the kidneys"

"Uh, tell him she has a gunshot wound-uhm-it looks around the kidney area." I pressed my hands back down on the wound, "Sientate derecho." I nodded. (Sit straight)

"We here."

"Tool I am going to need for you to come back here and takeover my spot and make sure she sits up, if she doesn't she might choke on her blood." He hopped out of the driver's seat and came into the back and carefully replaced my hands with his. I moved my hair out of my face and turned to Nina, I could tell that she was really tired, "You know a lot about Greek Mythology." I smiled. She nodded weakly, "I am going to pick you up carefully, ok?" She nodded again. "Rome stay out here with your grandmother."

"Ok."

I got out of the car and cautiously picked up Nina, she rested her head into my neck and I walked quickly into the ware house, Bay was waiting for me at the entrance, "The doctor on his way should be here in any minute, she need anything?"

I covered her eyes, "We need to go to a room." He nodded and lead me to the back and pushed open a door it looked like a hospital room, I sat her on the sofa and asked her, "Did you take your medicine?"

"Yes, it just makes me really tired and nauseous." She held her stomach, "I need a bucket or something."

I looked around the room and found a paid and handed it to her, "Just lie down and get some sleep."

She nodded and scooted up on the sofa and hugged the bucket to her, I walked out of the room and turned to Bay, "They can't go back Bay."

"They not babygirl, but I am having some of the guys go by and scoop up some of they stuff and clean up."

"Where are they going to go then?"

He sighed, "For now they can just crash at the house until I have something for them."

"I-"

"Athena the doctor wants to see you." Rome said interrupting my next words.

I let out a breath before following after him, running to the car I saw that the doctor was getting her out of the car, "Is she okay?"

"She's lost a lot of blood, but I need to take her to the ER I have the PP on the way."

"PP?"

"Private Paramedics."

I muttered to myself, "Is that even a thing." I didn't have time to think about it because the paramedics pulled up and hopped out, they worked quickly and put her on to the gurney and began to intubate her.

She held her hand up and they removed the intubate and she waved for me to come to her, I ran to her side, "Cuida de Nina y Roma." (Take care of Nina and Rome)

I nodded, and they went back to intubating her and putting her into the van, turning back around I saw Bay standing behind a traumatized Rome, "Let me take you to your sister she should be asleep."

He nodded, and he followed me to the back, "She is in there, she is waiting for you."

Before he pushed open the door he said, "Thank you."

I smiled and gestured for him to go in the room, when the door shut Bay spoke, "He gon call me in a few hours to let me know, let's go get you a shower."

9:30 AM

Main Residence

I pulled the shirt over my head, "Bay are you ok?"

He had barely said anything on the way back to the house and I could something was going around in his head, "I'm fine babygirl."

I stood in front of him and he wrapped his arms around my hips, "You don't have to tell me your story Bay, I'm not one of those people to try and get you to talk about your feelings, but you can talk to me."

I ran my hand through his hair, "I know babygirl just some shit that's in the past." His phone began to ring, and he rubbed his face before he picked up the phone, "Yeah." Listening I noticed the change of his emotion, "So-", He cut off and listened again his eyes becoming enraged, "We'll be there... damn."

"Who was that?" I frowned.

I could tell that he was more than pissed, "Fres."

I didn't say anything else because I knew he was on the edge and I damn sure wasn't going to be the one to push him over it, I followed him out to the car, opening the door for me I got in and buckled my seatbelt. He snatched open his door and didn't bother to put on his seatbelt and just sped off, what in the hell could piss him off so much.

"Don't know and we damn sure won't ask."

He passed through several red lights before we finally got to the main Playhouse, he didn't say anything when he hopped out the car and opened the door for me, unbuckling my seatbelt I got out and he took my hand in his and we walked into the ware house, "Nobody was going to tell me that él y esa perra estaban juntos." I heard Julia say. (Him and that bitch were together) When she saw us she laughed, "Bay this is the bitch that replaced me."

Just as Bay was about to say something I cut him off, "If I go back there and Nina is awake best believe I will deal with you... aight?"

"Go check on em' babygirl." He muttered before kissing my temple.

I nodded and walked to the back and opened the room they were in, I saw Nina bundled up in a bunch crying and Rome looked mad as hell, "What happened?"

"That puta came busting in and when she saw Nina." He let out a breath before he continued, "She called Nina an it and the look in her eyes-"

I held up a hand, "Stay in here and don't come out until I tell you to ok?"

"Ok." He turned back to Nina.

I took the gun out of my waistband Julia was still in there and Bay was losing his shit, "Fresno hold this for me." I handed him the gun. He took the gun and I turned to a Julia who held her chin up to me and gave me the same look I was so used to getting, "You woke that little girl up and called her a fucking it, bitch you have really lost your mind!" I yelled.

She crossed her arms, "I wouldn't have said if it wasn't true and I wouldn't have come here if someone told me yall were fucking."

I invaded her personal space, "I don't give a damn about what the hell you have to say about me, but don't you ever bring a child into our shit." I flicked hand between us. "Now that little girl is fucking crying her eyes out because of yo dumb ass mouth.

Still staring at me she said to Bay, "You do love your bitches bold Bay." She smirked.

I clenched my fist and I turned to everyone, "I tried, I tried to be nice to this bitch, but her ass is too crazy to even realize it." Before she could even say anything, I crashed my fist to her cheek, she fell, and I tried to lunge for her, but a pair of arms wrapped around me and pulled me to them, "Let me go." I wiggled in his hold, "Just give me sixty seconds with the bitch."

He tightened his hold, "Nah babygirl she ain't worth it."

Carrying me into his office he sat me on the desk, "Mateo you need to control that bitch." I pointed at the door.

"I ain't got no control over her babygirl, you and I both know that." He looked at my knuckles.

I bit my lip, "Why is she so damn ignorant?"

"I should have been handled her ass." He murmured turning back to me, "Is they aight thought?"

I nodded, "But I want to go check on them again."

He helped me off of the desk, "Don't do something crazy babygirl." He said before kissing me.

"I promise."

We left the room and I saw that she was still there, "You got my sister killed!" She yelled.

I holt in my step and turned to her, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Camila Vazquez bitch."

My heart dropped to the ground and I turned to Bay, "Camila's sister?" He nodded, and I turned back to her I stared at her a little harder and I noticed the similarities between the two. I didn't say anything else I just walked to the back and opened the door, Nina had fallen back to sleep, "Is she ok?"

"She just went to sleep when she wakes back up she is going need to take her medicine and she has radiation in two days." He rubbed her hair.

"One of Bay's men is taking care of you guy's things and she will be able to make it for radiation, so you don't need to worry about that." I hugged myself.

"What about my abuela, is she ok?"

"We still don't know anything the doctor hasn't called yet."

"I'm not saying on behalf of me I'm saying it behalf of Nina, we were never that close I was just her daughter's son, but Nina was her grandbaby." He laughed, "Her prized joy."

"Your grandmother still loves you Rome."

"Oh, I know that, but that love is forced because I am her daughter's son, it is required, in her eyes I am nothing but a headache."

"It's wack as hell to grow up too fast."

"Why did you call your home Hell Wrath's?"

I tucked both strands of hair behind my ears and cleared my throat, "My father wasn't the best man to my mother and I."

"So, would you say that I was lucky to not have mines in my life."

"Definitely but at least your father was a piece of shit somewhere else and not to your face," I looked at the ground, "Like mines, that man always made sure to be a piece of shit to my face."

"I guess we both have daddy issues." He chortled.

I looked up from the ground and laughed, "You damn right about that." I turned my attention to Nina, "You guys are going to be coming back to Bay's house and you're going to be staying there until he can make some living arrangements for all of you."

"I heard Bay was this big bad person why is he being so generous?"

I honestly couldn't give him a valid answer, I mean Bay was Bay, he was the man that showed no mercy to anyone so what made Rome so different, "I honestly couldn't tell you."

"I think it's because of you, you know when your name first hit the streets people thought that you were some girl who had something valuable for Bay, but you would soon end up becoming disposed of and a few weeks later word got around that you were still alive, and we knew something was up, because Bay never let the people he took in escaped."

"I didn't think I was going to do a lot of things with Bay and one of them was live, you know he was so menacing when I first met him."

"I ain't scared of shit but I thought I was the only who felt that way." He pointed out.

I giggled and nodded, "One of the scariest people by far."

"Are you two like together." He wagged his eyebrows.

When he didn't look so damn serious he actually looked his age, I rolled my eyes, "I mean something like that."

"You know he loves you right."

I couldn't help the smile that broke out across my face, "I heard."

"Y'all talking bout me?" Bay opened the door.

I turned to him all of my plans of giving him the silent treatment flew out the window, "And if we were?"

"I don't even need to tell y'all what my plan is." He raised an eyebrow. "Everything is set up back at the crib and I got someone to make sure she gets her medicine and take her to her doctor's appointments."

"We'll leave when Nina wakes up, but you should get some sleep." I rubbed my hands on my thighs.

Nodding his head Mateo and I left, "Babygirl I kno-"

I kissed him, It was fucking crazy about how short my anger was for him, it was like he made it impossible to be pissed at him, "I understand Bay."

He wrapped his arms around me, "She didn't give a damn no way she only said that because she wanted to hurt you."

"But that's her sister."

"Julia doesn't give a damn about anybody but herself, her and Camila never got along."

I moved my hands to his chest, "Camila is-well I could see why they never got along."

His phone rang and he answered it, "How is she?" When his face fell I knew that she passed away, I turned my attention to his shirt, "Preciate you for looking out but I'm gon need for you to refer me to an Oncologist." I looked back up at me and saw that he was looking at me, "I'll text you Caroline's number that's the girl's nurse."
