strongest people they knew. Cam didn’t want to bother Danielle with many details so he made it clear that no one would bring up the letters to Danielle tonight.
“When we get up here, don’t bother her with the details of these letters. We’ll tell her tomorrow when she’s at least feeling a little better. Agreed?” Cam said.
“Agreed.” Everyone but Brielle answered.
“Brielle can you hear yo? You’re so good at keeping secrets you should be able to keep one last one.” Cam spit.
“Yo Cam, chill out.” Kiy intervened.
“No it’s okay Kiy. I deserve that.” Brielle said.
“I don’t care. Cam you need to calm down.” Kiyan said to his boy.
“Yeah iight. I’ll come down when your girl stops keeping important shit away from us.” Cam said getting off the elevator and began walking towards Danielle’s room.
“Hey,” Danielle smiled at her friends as they walked in.
“Hey girlie. How are you feeling?” Sabriya ran up to the bed.
“Ew, were you crying because you look worse than I feel?” Danielle said Brielle.
“Yeah I was. Only because I was worried about you.” Brielle confessed.
“Don’t worry about me you know I’m not going any where.” Danielle smiled.
“Don’t scare us like that. I don’t know what I would have done without you.” Chloe cried. She was definitely the baby of the group.
“Don’t cry Chlo. I’m okay. I promise.” Danielle said.
“Okay.” Chloe wiped her face.
“Well damn, y’all don’t have to speak.” Danielle teased Kiyan, Zo, Keem, Ty and Cam.
“Wassup Ma?” Cam kissed her.
“When can I go home?” Danielle asked getting straight to the point refusing to believe she had to stay there.
“Well damn.” Zo joked.
“I’m serious. I hate hospitals and I feel better already.” Danielle pleaded.
“Get out the bed then.” Kiyan challenged.
Danielle tried to sit up, but was stopped short when the pain shot through her rib caged.
“Yeah iight, you will be right here.” Cam said.
“But I don’t want to stay here. It’s freezing and it has that weird hospital smell. Can you take me home? I promise I won’t get out of the bed.” Danielle begged.
“I’ll take you home.” Cam said.
“CAM!” Ty yelled.
“Ty hush. Cam can you get my purse, I’m ready.” Danielle smiled.
“I’m going to take you home as soon as the doctor discharges you.” Cam said sternly.
“There is no telling when that is going to be.” Danielle pouted.
“Two days. I already spoke with the doctor.” Cam said.
“Oh boy, I’m going to die in here.” Danielle exaggerated.
“You’ll live.” Shanice joked.
“Well since I’m obviously not leaving, can y’all at least ask about some heat in this room?” Danielle asked.
“We’re about to leave out so we’ll ask on the way out.” Kiyan said to Danielle.
“Get some rest. We’ll be back tomorrow.” The girls and guys said.
“I will. Love y’all.” Danielle laid back down.
“We love you too.” Keem said.
“I guess you’re stuck with me.” Cam smiled.
“I rathered be stuck with you than anybody else.”
“You sure about that?”
“I’m positive, but I hope you have something to keep you company because the meds have kicked in and my eyes are closing as I speak.” Danielle smiled.
“Go ahead and go to sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up.” Cam said kissing her and began laughing. “I need to get your ass some chapstick because your lips are ashy yo.”
“Shut up punk.” Danielle said drifting to sleep.

You think everything is a fucking game, somebody got hurt because you think life is a joke.” –Kiyan
“You know that we need to talk right?” Kiyan asked Brielle while lying in Brielle’s bed.
“About what?” Brielle said sliding under the comfortable.
“Aye Bri, stop trying to act clueless. About these damn notes you’ve been getting and how you’ve been keeping that shit a secret.”
“Kiyan can you please yell at me tomorrow. I have a headache and I’m really not trying to go there tonight.” Brielle said turning away from him.
“Iight cool, you call me when you ready to talk.” Kiyan said getting out the bed and putting his clothes on.
“Is it really that serious Kiy?” Brielle said sitting up.
“Yeah it is. You think everything is a fucking game, somebody got hurt because you think life is a joke.” Kiyan said tying his boots.
“Kiyan did I say that? Don’t put words in my mouth.”
“Actions speak louder than words. You need to grow the hell up. You think your shit doesn’t stink yo, but it does. All this time you were holding this shit in, Danielle could of ended up dead because of you.”
“Don’t go there. I apologized. I know I messed up, but don’t continue to throw that shit
