"Where are they taking her?!" I screamed.
The woman finally shouted back, "Sunrise Trauma Center!"
I damn near ran a red light. "Thank you!" I cried before tossing the phone into the passenger seat and gripping the wheel with both hands.
Please. Please don't die before I get there.
By the time I made it to the hospital, my whole body was shaking. I barely parked correctly before jumping out and sprinting inside. The bright hospital lights made everything feel too real too fast. "Gianna Taylor!" I yelled rushing to the front desk. "She was just brought in—gunshot wound!"
The receptionist startled slightly. "Ma'am calm down—"
"I CAN'T CALM DOWN!" I screamed tears pouring down my face. "That's my best friend!"
People in the waiting room turned to stare but I didn't give a fuck.
A nurse hurried over quickly. "Are you family?"
"I'm her sister," I lied instantly.
The nurse's expression softened with pity.
My heart dropped. "She's alive right?" I whispered.
The nurse nodded quickly. "She's in surgery right now."
My knees almost gave out beneath me from relief and terror.
They took me toward the waiting area while I cried so hard I could barely breathe.
My hands covered my face as I collapsed into one of the chairs. I bent forward pressing my forehead against my knees sobbing into my hands. Praying and rocking.
"Please God. Please…"
Chapter 54
Ronnie's number flashed across the screen. My heart skipped and I quickly answered.
"Hello?"
All I heard was crying. Hard, panicked crying.
My chest tightened instantly. "...Ronnie?" I sat up straighter.
"Remy—" she choked out my name.
"What happened?" I demanded already standing.
"GG got shot," she sobbed
The world stopped. Literally stopped. My ears started ringing. "...What?" I whispered.
"She got shot!" Ronnie screamed breaking down harder. "That crazy bitch shot her!"
Mama stood at the expression on my face. "Remel?"
"What hospital?" I barked already grabbing my keys.
"Sunrise Trauma!" Ronnie cried. "They just took her into surgery!"
