Aniyah's POV

Fuck another boring ass day. 

I think as I silence the alarm on my phone time for work another day another photo I get up and go to the bathroom my bonnet was gone and my hair tangled I go to the shower and turn it on I play my playlist and wash up after I'm done I start to get ready for work I'm a freelance photographer for Kim's Photoline were pretty famous in LA after I do my hair I get dressed and head out the door.

I get in my car and drive to work when I get there my assistant, Shelly tells me my first client is here I start taking their photos and go about my day as normal. At lunch, a woman walks in says her boss wants us to take photos for her I set an appointment for the next day and she walks out "Did she seem a bit scared to you" asked shelly "Yeah like really terrified" I agree after that we have 4 more clients then it's closing time. As I'm leaving the building I hear groaning I normally would keep walking and mind my business but something is telling me to look.

I go to the alley and see a man on the ground "H-hello" I say nervous he looks at me and I see his dark green eyes even in the dark "Are you hurt?" I ask going closer to him he is, in fact, hurt I see blood on his side I walk to him and kneel on the ground.

 "Go Away" his deep husky voice says out of the dark "No I'm not going to leave you here to die" I rip my shirt and hold the cloth to what looks like a bullet wound "Hold that for me" his bloody hand grabs onto it "Give me one minute"  I go back in the building and grab the first aid kit when I go back to the man and cut his shirt I have to know idea what I'm doing but grey's anatomy don't fail me now I think before I start to remove the bullet and patch up this man.

When I'm done I help him up and into my jeep "I have to take you to the hospital" I say hoping this man will be ok "No" he says tiredly "What the fuck do you mean no your bleeding my little fix stich isn't going to last long" I say angry at this stranger "I said no hospital Angelo" he says with a final warning in his tone "where do I take you then?" as we come to a red light I look at him he's sleeping he told me not to take him to the hospital.

So I brought him to my apartment as I'm holding him up in the elevator I start to think what the hell have I gotten myself into when we reach my floor I drag him with me to my door and unlock it with one hand when we get in I close the door behind me and place him on my couch I make sure he's comfortable before I go and wash up.

When I get out I hear a phone ringing I realize it's coming from the living room I walk in and look at the man I feel in his pockets and take the phone out it says Gray on the caller ID I swipe the answer button and put the phone to my ear "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU COLE" I hear a gruff voice yell into the phone "Um hello this is Aniyah" I say shocked "Where is cole" the voice says in irritation "Well I found Cole outside my job with a bullet wound so I helped him and I wanted to take him to the hospital but he told me not to and passed out before I asked where to take him so now he's passed out on my couch" I say nervous by how he sounds.

"What's your address" the voice said I told him my address and he hung up I put the phone on the coffee table and went into the kitchen I started to make some Shrimp Alfredo 30 minutes later there was a knock on the door "Who is it" I ask "Gray" A voice calls back I unlock the door and see a tall skinny white boy with long brown hair and tattoos "Hello I'm Aniyah" I reach my hand out he shakes it  and says "I'm Gray your the one I was on the phone with right" He asks as I let him in "Yes Cole is in here"

 I lead the way as he follows me into the living room he walks to Cole and lifts his shirt up "Do you mind if I have some people come over and help him" Gray asks me looking at me "I don't mind" I say he nods his head and pulls his phone out I go to the kitchen and finish making my pasta.

 I hear footsteps nearing me and turn around to see Gray standing there "Would you like some pasta" I ask holding a plate in my hand "Sure" he moves to sit on the island I make him a plate and put it in front of him "Something to drink " I ask walking to the fridge "Yes do you have soda" he asks behind me I pull out a can of coca-cola and pass it to him "Thanks" He says after I made my plate I sat down.

 "So tell me about yourself Gray" I look over at him "Well I'm 22 and I'm single" he says continuing to eat his food "That's it what do you for work" I ask curious "I'm a contractor you could sorta say" he seems to want to end it there "What about you Ms. Aniyah" he asks with a smirk "Well I'm 19 I am a Photographer and I'm Single" I say answering his question next we hear a knock on the door he gets up and answers it soon 5 men come into the house Gray shows them to the living room and he stays with them after 2 hours they come out of the room and leave Gray comes back to the kitchen.

"Do you have a spare bedroom I can sleep in" He asks looking tired "Yes follow me" I lead him to the extra bedroom next to my room I open the door and turn the light on "The bathroom is over there oh and hold on" I go to my room and pick out some sweatpants and a shirt I have a habit of buying male clothing I go back to the guestroom and hand him the clothes "Here you go I have these if you want to change into something more comfortable" He takes the clothes and thanks me I leave him be and go to the living room.

I look at Cole asleep on the couch I crouch down and kiss him on his forehead he smiles in his sleep I go to my room and lay down tired from today's events.
