Friday 26th February.

(Tyra) Alexis Julian Wallace|19.

It's been a week since you know... the news about Cj but at least he's in better hands now.

I know Naldo feels a way about but chooses to hide away and not show emotions so I decided to give him some space.

Me and Cj grew closer over the short amount of time we have new each other he like the brother I never had.

I'm with his sister, Carlee today right now we are going to pick up some flowers and visit him.

"These look good right" she asked a bit unsure as we waited in the line to pay.

"Yeah, they'll look good beside him" I smiled gently as we payed for our items.

We was back on the road driving to the destination.

You heard from Naldo yet ? She asked I guess making conversation.

"No mi decided cause of all what going him need some space fi hold a level medz" I said.

"Yeah mi understand, but you know weh mi find funny" she said stooping at the light

"Wah" i said looking her direction confused.

"None of them came to visit him after the night at dem drop him arf at the hospital."

"Mi nuh believe, not even Naldo or even Jalen ?" I said in disbelief.

"Believe True mi ah talk not one, mi nah say them have too but if was my friend dem mi woulda feel a way" she told as she continued to drive.

"Wow mi ago have to talk to dem bout that" I said shaking my head.

"It's okay don't bother" she said shrugging it off.

"No cause how someone you call yuh dawg get shot up, alright maybe you busy but you ah tell me seh dem not even decide fi even give him mother a call and seh likkle something" I said kissing my teeth.

"Glad anuh me alone feel suh" she said pausing "ah mi Bredda dat enuh man, tell yuh when mi see him lifeless body lay down inna di ppl dem bed mi bawl like..." she sniffled as we drove passed alongside a graveyard dabbing her eyes to prevent a tear from falling.

I rubbed her shoulder comforting her as her grip on the steering wheel tightened as she continued driving.

"Dem you have dah one big tough Naldo inna him bitch feelings, yeah mi sad but mi nah lock away from the world like some bat believe mi ago talk to dem green arm bwoy dem" I said passing her a tissue from my purse and y self as my eyes became glossy making my vision blurry.

Few minutes passed and we was at the location we needed to be I walked in side by side with carlee as I held the flowers and my bag in the other.

We stopped at the front desk as I let carlee speak to the lady. Soon she was leading us to the room Cj was in.

"Here" the lady said stopping at a closed door.

We was about to proceed into the room when she spoke again.

"Before yuh go in the doctor did tell me to inform you earlier this morning him did woke out of him coma..." she said calmly as I looked to Carlee beside me in surprise as she continued her gaze on the nurse.

"..and police will be down for questioning later on so visiting hours may be shorter than usual for him, however he is still unstable so doctors will be in and out with medication to stable him shortly." She continued informing us finishing with a smile and nod as she went on her way after me and Carlee thanked her.

I hugged the flowers in my arm as I gripped the door handle, with the other I walked in and Carlee after me.

He was hooked up to a beeping machine but different to the one he had when I had visited him last.

Carlee went over the other side of the room she held his hand as I place the flowers on the table beside him.

Looking down at him my heart ached to see him like this, a tear slip from eye.

"Don't, if you cry mi ago bawl so don't bother with it" Carlee said with a light chuckle as I wiped the falling tear showing a faint smile.

"Car.." Cj spoke with his eyes squinted but due to the raspy tone he cleared his throat.

"Here"  I said passing him the cup of water by his table.

Moments passed an me and Carlee was situated in chairs across room with Cj bed in the middle as he sat up.

"...Anuh him fault" Cj spoke.

"Who is it then, not even one of the jancrow dem even look pon yuh since you admit inna di hospital" Carlee argued.

"Mi done tell you say the ting set a way and mi deeven want get unuh involved too much" Cj said nonchalantly.

🧠:Hide him ah hide supm

🧠:Nah wild him

🧠:Mi soon find out

"Cj mi understand but what typa style dat, not even a call" I said still not understanding.

"Less yuh know the better" he said not keeping eye contact with me.

"Dat wid unuh again, Chro" Carlee said fed up.

"Look like ah shot out dem shot out him sense, bout less you know the better, Yah Batman?" I said sarcastically.

"Badman nuh live inna nuh cave" he said serious making me smile.

Soon multiple knocks was on the door.

"Jalen" Cj said looking at me as the door opened.

"Wha ?" I said low.

3 police officers entered the room.

"Good afternoon ladies but Mr Carters visiting times are over" a bold officer said.

"Sorry but we jus-" i states but was I interpreted.

"Dem good man just tell Jalen seh mummy seh di pot a run over" Cj said calm but his eyes speaking louder than his voice.

I took that as a sign or some type of signal so we said our goodbye and let them be.

As me and Carlee made our way out of the hospital I dialled Jalen.

"Yow" he spoke on speaker as I walked through the parking lot and Carlee tracking close.

"Mummy seh pot ah run over" was all I said.

"...Who tell yuh dat" he said skeptical.

"Cj" i said opening the car door and sitting in the passenger as I took the phone off speaker.

"How much police did deh deh" he questioned.

"How yuh know..3" I said holding my phone close as Carlee pulled off.

"Fuck, him need a lawyer and fast" he said as if he was thinking aloud.

"Why, weh dat mean" I said watching the road as the car moved.

"Yuh nuh hang up yet, soon call yuh back" he said in a hurry.

"Aye bwoy, hang up if yuh live man" i said.

"Weh more yuh want Ty" he said with rustling in the back.

"fi yuh stop follow yuh dutty friend ways, why people tell seh yuh nuh visit him since the night"

"I-" he said shocked.

"No Jalen serious, my mada never grow us suh, How you think that look? Dash weh-"

"You ago Mek me explain or keep run yuh big lip" he said annoyed.

"..." no one spoke.

"Go on mi ah Wait" I spoke up.

"Possible wasn't the only person who was shot, if you get up and watch the bloodclart news like auntie tell yuh, you woulda known multiple people left dead after Cj got shot" he told.

"Soo..uno retaliate" i said.

"Nuh must and them a look for who was driving with Cj reason why we can't show our face there again and why the police dem go question him but him ago stay solid hence why him ago need one lawyer" he said explaining.

"Wait Suh one shot fire hit Cj, and the rest of uno shot back at them" i said trying to picture the scenario.

"Ahh" he said slow as if I was stupid.

"So who shot...wait how much people dead?" I said changing my question.

🧠:Mi not even want know da first question deh.

"4 an some injured" he answered short as I heard noise in the background of the call.

"Jesus Christ, AY Yah go hell enuh" i said rubbing my temples watching as the road moved outside the window.

"Who seh mi? You know wah, gwarn go look fi yuh man and come arf mi phone" he said.

"Man ? Mi not even know weh dat is nuh see mi ah child ah God, my 1Man dat" I said serious.

"Lie Suh, yuh know None ah we talk to him badz and baba deh yah wid me right now" he spoke.

"Ok... weh you want-" i said awkwardly as I watched Carlee park in Kfc.

"TYRA DAT?" I heard Badz shout in the background.

"Yo Bredda move nuh" I heard as they tussled in the back.

"I'm gonna go get something inna Kfc weh yuh want" Carlee whispeared to me as she opened the car door.

"Armm" i spoke thinking.

"just the same, anything you ah get" i said quickly not knowing what I wanted.

She nodded closing the door walking off.

🧠:Mi nuh really hungry but mi will eat.

"Mi want talk to har, Ay mi will bun yuh enuh" badz said closer to the phone with flickering noise like a lighter breathing abit heavy.

🧠:Man did a run from Jalen yf

"Ahh give me back mi lighter, yuh have 5 minutes, nah chase yuh no more" Jalen said abit faded from the phone.

"Yow ty" Badz spoke calmer.

"Wahm bro gad" I said smiling

"Funny anyway yuh talk to suchman" he said

"If ah dat you come fi ask mi better you give Jalen back him phone " I said annoyed.

"Stop gwarn like dat yuh know me and him nuh leff each other side as a bad people ting, and not even me can reach him" he said

I just sighed listening.

"Like di man not even exist, one day me and buzzy roll up pon him after the shooting man almost fling two shot inna we bout him good and nuh want talk bout weh guh down" he spoke on the other end.

"I wouldn't want to either gotta remember that's his friend from before teenage days" I said kinda defensive.

"Just check pon him, fi me and Mek sure him nah drink and smoke him self away dat him always do like it can fix him problems."  He asked and explained.

"I don't think it my place-" I said thinking about it.

"Please man just dis one ting mi ask yuh" badz said.

🧠:How him sound stress like him a carry 3 pikney.

"I don't...I'll let you know" I said.

"Tanks" he spoke a bit relieved.

"what a way none of unuh ask bout Cj" I spoke remembering not even Jalen asked .

"Mi now him gov man" badz said in a different tone.

"How yuh know" I said skeptical.

Carlee came back in the car with the fast food scent filling the car passing my food.

"I'm just know doh" he said hesitant.

"Oh just from di hospital mi ah come from" I informed him.

"Him still inna coma? Suh the woman did tell we pon the day cause him never did a wake up when we lift him up out di car. " Badz asked.

"Think seh yuh did know, we'll him wake up" i said him as the car was back on the road.

"True True?" He asked.

"Yea" I said.
