I took a deep breath before walking through Jen's front door. Couldn't believe I was back here. After I packed my bag and broke into Capri's crib, I swore I wunt coming back. But here I was about to walk in.

When I did, the houses energy seemed off. There was no candle aroma like there usually was. No food being made and no music being played. Jen usually had all 3 going on a Sunday evening like this but all you could hear were crickets.

Slowly stepping through the door, I kicked my shoes off which was sum I never did before. Sum Jen always urged me and E to do but we never listened. Didn't know why I'd been doin it now.

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye a nigga was ambushed from behind! I was being choked out by somebody's arm and I couldn't breathe for a few seconds. Then I was thrown on the ground and when I looked up, I saw it'd been Eli. Nigga was kicking me in my side and shit. Then once he was finished, he picked me up and dusted me off.

"Aight. We got that out the way. Nigga where was you? Is you good?"

"I WAS UNTIL YOU FUCKED ME UP?"

"Had ta get my lick back. You wunt bout to hit me in front of Jen whole family like that. Who would I be if I didn't make us equal again?"

"You right. I deserved that. Nah if I didn't believe that I did, you woulda been in the ER today. Just sayin." I huffed, dapping him up.

"Anyways...you good luh nigga? The fuck was that last night? Who pissed in yo food?" He cackled.

I sucked my teeth, remembering everything that happened. How the thought alone made me tense up.

"I found some deep family secret shit. Sum I wunt posed to find out." I explained.

"Involving who? Cause you acted outta pocket."

"Me actually. So I had every right. You would too if you found out Jen was ya birth motha."

He furrowed his brows. "Come again?"

"Jen is my mama. Not Janessa. Pops been lying ta me and you our whole lives. We half brothers, Eli. Jen fucked my daddy and cheated on yo mama with mine. I ain't find out till yesterday and even then she still denied the shit. So...I kinda lost it. Realizin I coulda had a different life." I shrugged, giving him the sum of things.

"You fuckin with me, right?"

"Nah man. That's nun to play about. Jen my mama on gang."

"...on gang?"

"On gang."

"Shit crazy." He scoffed. "Now I got questions and shit. This don't feel real. When was they gone tell us?"

"They wunt plannin to. That musta been what Elroy was talkin bout n shit. That's most likely the reason he don't fuck with me. Cause Jen cheated on him with pops."

Shit felt awkward talkin ta Eli. Knowing we ain't share the same mama kinda made shit weird. Like I didn't even know nigga no more. And I think he sensed it. He sensed I wunt actin like my regular self around him and I could see how it made him feel.

"I understand why you did the shit you did. I woulda did the same no cap. Me and you got that rage in us that just be hard to control after we've been fucked ova."

"Exactly. So I'm just...I just feel weird. You know? Spoke to pops. And he gave me his story but I wunt really listening. Too hung up on the fact that Jen never saved me. Remember that luh boy, E? The one named Jaheel. Yeah, he woulda still been alive today. Prolly 7 a 8 in the second grade."
