My white dress was covered in blood, my mind in shock, hands shaking as i tried my hardest to cover Michaels wound.

Levontè on the phone with the police more shocked than me.

I was out of it.

The faint sound of michaels voice woke me up and i looked at him teary eyed. His eyes were slowly closing, pupil's dilating, hands grabbing at my waist as i held him gently in my lap.

"Sos?" Mike whispered and I looked him directly in his eyes mumbling a bunch of "it's gonna be okay's" and "I love you's"

Maybe he was listening or maybe he couldn't hear me.

"Dantè, it was him."

Dantè ?

My eyebrows furrowed into confusion then i realized it was no need to be worried about that now, only him.

"You're losing a lot of blood love, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE POLICE?!!??" I screamed, hurt and frustration behind my voice.

I held mike as tight as I could, "Sos, what happened to basketball boy?" I heard mike croak and I looked around. Him and his car was gone, well in the midst of driving off and that just broke me even more.

"Pussy." I heard Mike mumble underneath his breath and I couldn't help but laugh as warm tears rolled down my face.

"I love you kid." He said softly, his eyes almost close to shutting, my mind went blank and I froze up for a half of second and went into protective mode.

"I love you more, c'mon Mike stay with me, just a little longer, please." I whispered clutching him tightly.

"If I don't make it I put all my trust in you to inform von, you hear me?" He asked and I slowly nodded my head as the sounds of ambulance coming in came through.

I watched as they took Mike from my hands, multiple voices in front of me asking me am I okay and checking if i'm hurt. I just sat there quietly confused and heartbroken.

The sound of him being lifted into a stretcher, several medical teams trying to figure out where he had been hit and it had hit me.

michael had been shot.

I felt a cop pick me up, my vision blurry.

"Hey darling don't worry, hes gonna be fine, I promise."

I washed my hands as i looked at myself in the mirror, eyes weary as i hurried to wash his blood off, it was cold in here.

I hadn't recognized myself at all, i was covered in someone who i loved blood, and then the tears came pouring down, and i started shaking.

Then later i started to hyperventilate, I was out of it, i laid on the floor shaking and crying until one of the doctors came in, it was a male one. "I could um...hear you from outside...they left you here all alone?" He asked and i nodded my head. He was white, curly hair, looked to be about my age actually.

"I'll have to tell them about themselves, it's not good to leave you alone after everything, your mind is not mentally ready to be left alone, let me get you cleaned up and a jacket." He explained softly, he seemed nervous a bit like he had never done this before but i wasn't tripping, my mind was blank.

He grabbed my hand gently pulling me up and took me to the sink, wiping my tears and cleaning my hands and shirt, later then taking off his scrubs jacket and putting it over my shoulders.

"Need some tea ?" He asked softly and i nodded my head, the warmth from his jacket made me feel almost safe but still my guard was up, i was paranoid and scared.

I-I knew I was safe in a hospital of course but...knowing you're safe and feeling safe was two completely different things.

As the doctor walked me back to the waiting room, a familiar face appeared at the front desk. My eyes lit up at the sight of my brother

"Von?" I whispered and even at a whisper he heard me and turned his head, he looked just as bad as i did. My eyes started to form tears again as i fell into the crook of his neck, crying like a baby, a big one.

"It was blood everywhere a-and michael he was...shot, oh my god, michael was shot." I cried as he held me. he didn't say anything , he just let me cry.

soon another doctor walked up to us, Michaels mom had just gotten here and she was right behind us.

"Are you the visitors of Michael?" The nurse asked softly and his mother nodded her head.

"Is he okay? Is my son okay?" She asked aggressively and the nurse just stood there before speaking up.

"Michael was shot twice, once in his shoulder and another in his leg. Both places were serious injuries luckily the one his legs went straight through so that should be fine, the one in his shoulder barely passed his nerves but we were able to get it out, he will have to stay here for a couple of weeks because he can't walk just yet then later there's physical therapy." She stated, everybody was happy but me.

i remembered every moment, i remembered everything that happened, the blood, his face, my mind.

Dantè shot michael.
