Brittany's POV
My body froze as I watched them rush her down the hall and no matter how much my mind begged my legs to move they stayed planted onto the floor. I slowly began feeling disconnected from my surroundings as the sight of her laying there replyed in my mind, each time leaving me feeling even more distraught than before.
I stood there not sure what to do since my world seemed to be falling apart around me, with nothing or no one to help me catch the pieces.
"What happened?" Renae asked and I looked up to see Spain not sure when he got this close, the heavy feeling on my chest continued to grow making it somewhat hard to breath as tears threatened to fall.
"Drive-by," he announced and I took a step back resti

Jazmine's POVI continued skipping through the channels bored out of my fucking mind, it had been two days since I was admitted and I was already tired of the place. On the bright side of things, Britt was bringing Aria to spend the day with me today, for which I was extremely grateful since I missed my little optimist.I sighed turning off the television giving up, I really just wanted to go home but Jeremiah and Britt never failed to remind me that I had to be here for seven days in total before me leaving would be taken into consideration.The door opened and I looked over to it to see Britt walking in with Aria in her arms both of them wearing smiles, the sight pulling one from me as well."Jazzy," Aria called out

Five Days LaterBrittany's POVI sat there patiently as the gate opened, Aria sitting in the backseat comfortably with Jazmine by her side both of them engaged in a conversation of their own. It had been seven days since Jazmine got shot and she was finally cleared to leave the hospital hence the three of us being in the car.Aria and I had also moved back into Jazmine's place yesterday which I could tell Aria loved. I began moving up the driveway leaving the gate to close behind me.For the past six days, I had been driving Jazmine's car, mine being bloody since that's what she was using the day she got shot.I still wasn't used to or comfort

Jazmine's POVI moved outside with her trailing behind me, I stopped the minute I arrived at the sofa handing her the crutches allowing her to help me sit down."Thank you baby," I announced as she grabbed a pillow putting it on the small table before resting my injured foot on it gently."Do you want anything else?" she asked softly looking at me and I reached forward pulling her closer to me as emotions and adoration swarmed me."I love you," I announced really appreciating the fact that she moved in to take care of me since she didn't have to. It meant a lot because I know and I understand her which meant I knew every fear in her system she had to bury to do this.

Jazmine's POVI continued going down the aisle with Aria and my assistance Dean on either side of me. Britt had left for work this morning giving Aria and I the chance to slip out and prepare for tonight with no worries of her finding out.I had been planning ever since my third day in the hospital, the bed rest period of my recovery really gave me a lot of time to reflect and during my reflection, I had realized just how much Britt had done for me without me noticing or even appreciating.And everything she did for me was completely selfless, she did it without expecting something in return which was rare since people usually shook my hand with one of their hands while their other was stuffed in my pocket."Jazzy can

Jazmine's POVI sat on the steps placing my crutches to the side patiently waiting on her, Aria had fallen asleep earlier despite saying she would wait up with me to surprise her mother, luckily we were in her room when she did since I now lacked the ability to carry her up the stairs.My gaze moved over to the car the red bow complementing the all-black exterior, it had taken me some time to decide on what car to actually get her since I knew if I went with something too expensive there was a high chance she wouldn't take it, in the end, I decided to go with the 2021 Kia Telluride.I reached into my pocket grabbing my phone deciding to call her to find out how far away she was, I quickly dialled her number and after a few rings she picked up allowing the call to conne

One Week LaterBrittany's POVI continued to lay on the bed with Aria in my arms, the noise from the television fading away slowly as I continued to drown in my thoughts.Jazmine shifted beside and turned looking towards her sensing the discomfort she was in."You okay baby?" I asked softly as she began sitting up and she nodded."Going for a walk?" I questioned."Yeah," she replied exiting the room and I sighed knowing just how frustrated she was, she had regained the ability to walk again, not well but enough to move around at a slow pace and because of that she had started physical t

Jazmine's POVI began walking up the stairs slowly allowing my thoughts to run wild while also preparing myself mentally to enter the room, a part of me was silently hoping that she had fallen asleep since I had been in the living room for quite some time.I pushed open the door to find her laying on the bed, the fact she didn't look over to me letting me know that she was still upset about what had happened before."Where is Aria?" I asked hoping to change the aura around us."In her room," she responded her tone revealing everything she was feeling."Are you okay?" I asked stupidly moving over the bed as she continued to scroll through her phone.

Jazmine's POVI pulled back the covers sitting up on the bed hating the numbness in my leg that was caused by lack of circulation. I reached over grabbing my phone to check the time only to spot a message from Spain that immediately dragged a sigh from my tired body as I placed the phone back.The door opened and I watched as she walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body the sight reminding me that she had work today."Did I wake you?" she asked softly moving over to me."No," I replied as she sat on the edge of the bed."Are you hungry?""I'm fine baby,"
