Tamia POV:
As I was rushing to put on my pants I grab my phone to check the time to see I only had 5 more minutes to make it to class.
I quickly put on my shirt and threw on a hoodie.
Once my shoes was on grab my bag and rush out the door making my way to class.
As I was running I saw Tariq running in the same direction.
I just ignore it once I made it to the door I stop and took a breath then, walked into class making everyone look at me.
Mr. Raynold's- Tamia your la-
Tamia- Yeah I know*I said in a rude tone*
Mr.Reynold's- We don't tolerate dis-
Tamia- Okay I get it
Mr. Reynold's- I'll let it slide just this once
Soon Tariq walked in taking a seat behind me.
Mr.Reynold's-So Tamia did you read the book
Tamia- Yeah finish most of it wasn't a lot to read
Mr.Reynold's- What do you think about the book so far
Tamia- Actually I think the books about trust how you can't put your trust in just anyone trust is importance and value you just can't give that out so easily
Tariq- I agree trust isn't something you could give out so easily *He said making me look up at him*
Mr.Reynold's- You know what Tamia your actually right you didn't even read all of the book and you still understand and know the meaning
Tamia- The book wasn't hard to understand specially when, you know more about trust then anyone
Mr.Reynold's- What makes you say that ??
Tamia- That's only for me to know but why don't you ask Tariq he seems to agree with me
Mr.Reynold's- Well Tariq why do you feel that the book is about trust
Tariq- Cause that's how life goes you can't just go around giving people your trust I feel they gotta earn it
BruShsndria- There right what if you give them your trust and they go and break it
-
Once class was over I grabbed my bag and headed out the class.
Tariq- Yo Tamia wait up !
Tamia- Oh hey Tariq*I said as I put my phone in my pocket*
Tariq- My homeboy Brayden throwing party after school you should come
Tamia- mk bet gimme yo phone I'll give you my number*I said holding my hand out*
Once he gave me his phone put my number in.
Tamia- Where is this party
Tariq- I'll send you address
Tamia-mk
Tariq- Where you heading to right now
Tamia- This restaurant across street
Tariq- Lemme come with you*He said putting his arm around me*
Tamia- Yeah I could use some company
When, we made it to the restaurant I order me some wings and fries Tariq got the same.
Then, we took a seat at this table.I noticed that there was a car coming up and down the road for a good minute so I decided to say something.
Tamia- Tariq tha-
Before I could speak guns started to fire
Tariq grabbed me covering me. Soon I felt Tariq body's wait as I looked down I saw that tariq was shot.
I started to panic pushing Tariq on his back.
I started to scream crying for help I took my hoodie off putting it on his shot wound.
Tamia- HELP!*I said crying*Damnit Tariq why did have to cover me*I said laying my head on his chest crying*
Soon the ambulance made it they didn't lemme come cause I wasn't a family member which made me mad.
Why did this have to happen again why me.
Soon as the ambulance left with Tariq I called Diana to give me a ride to the hospital.
-
Diana- Girl what the hell going on and why the hell you got blood on you
Tamia- Tariq got shot okay*I said crying*He did the same thing emmet did I just wish people would stop risking they life's for me*I said getting louder*
Diana- It's okay Tamia but I think it's better if you get cleaned up before heading to the hospital
Tamia-It really don't even matter just get me from over here please *I said looking out the window*
-
When, we made it to Monet's place we headed inside and went up to Diana's room.
Diana- Here some clothes and a towel I'm sure you remember were the bathroom is
Tamia- Yeah
When, I made it to the rest room I started the shower and got in.
All I could think about was Tariq.
I started to have flashbacks about what happen to Emmet making me tear up.
When, I made it out the shower I dried off and put on the joggers and hoodie that Diana gave me.
*10:30*
Diana- Ma and Dru not home yet they went out to handle some business..you okay
Tamia- I'll be okay do Tariq's mom knows ??
Diana- Tariq's moms in jail they claim she killed her husband they still handling it in court trying they best to get her out though.I think you should get some sleep and when, you wake up I'll take you to see em tomorrow
Tamia-I'm not sleepy
Diana- At least try
Tamia- Okay Fine*I said getting up making my way to the guest room*
I layed in bed staring at the wall soon my eyes started to grow heavy I tried fighting it but I guess they took over.

Tariq POV:
I woke up seeing a doctor over me I wanted to know if Tamia was okay so I asked.
Tariq- Where Tamia
Doctor- I'm afraid we don't have anyone here by the name a Tamia was she there with you at the accident
Tariq- *Groans* Uh yeah
Doctor- I think they told her to stay back I could see if I could get in touch with her
Tariq- I just wanna know if she's okay
Doctor- Yes she's fine
Tariq- igh
Doctor- Do you want anything to drink
Tariq- Nawl I'm good..you think you could pass me my phone
Doctor- uh yea here you go*She said handing me the phone*I'm bout to head out just hit that botton right there if you need anything
Tariq-igh
I saw that I had a few miss calls from Monet and Dru but nothing from Tamia.
Random nurse-Someone's here for you she's says she's your girlfriend
Tariq- Yeah let her in
What she mean I ani't got no girlfriend.
Soon I heard the door open making me look up to see Tamia.
Tariq- So your my girlfriend now*I said with a small smile*
Tamia- I mean that's the only way they'll let me in..how you feeling though*I said sitting in the chair next to the bed*
Tariq- I'm straight ma
Tamia- Why you even covered me anyway you barely know me
Tariq- It feels like I know you
Tamia- Yeah right
Tariq- Why that's so hard to believe*I said confused*
Tamia- Cause it just is
Tariq- Well believe it
I got up out the chair and walk towards the other side of the bed.
Tamia-Scoot over*She said laying next to him*
Tariq- *Groans*
Tamia- Oh shit my bad
Tariq- I'm just playing
Tamia- That's not funny*I said playfully hitting his arm*
She layed her head on my arm and looked at me which made us lock eyes.
I honestly wanted to kiss her it actually did feel like I knew her more then, anybody.
