AMANI SYMONE MOORE Atlanta, ga
My brothers stood in front of me, Hennessy in one hand and flowers in the other confused about whatever thing they should throw first. "Throw some liquor on my mama's casket and it's going to be a problem Sie" I cleared my throat.
"Man, what, this shit for me to drink mani— don't be a bitch at ma funeral" I looked over at my oldest brother Jai'or to see him mugging me intensely.
"Bitch? wow Jai, out of all days really" I laughed under my breath, tucking my arms into my black puffer jacket to hide them from the cold.
"Our mama dead too bro. Not everything about you"
Hearing that made my whole body tense up. I had been picking out caskets for people since a very young age, it was something i had done so many times that now i now knew how to do it perfectly.
—And for the past week i had not only picked out a casket perfectly... but also planned a whole service out, perfectly by myself.
Not a single help from my brothers or from my dad who was now the only worthless parent i felt like she had left.
"Nigga fuck you. Of course this shit not about me, it's about mama. But don't sit here and call me a bitch and act like this shit doesn't affect me a little bit more than it does you." I rolled my shoulders.
This had been an all-day thing since we stepped out of the car, all me and my brothers had been doing was arguing. Well since Momma died, all they did was argue with me.
As if it was my fault...
"I don't give a fuck how much less it affects me, it's my mama either way it go— aye! I know damn well!" The back and forth was shortly cut off by our dad who quickly made his way over once his arguing was brought to his attention.
Turning around, all three of us not only realized our dad was angry stomping his way over but also that the whole entire guest of the service was staring at us.
"Are yall right in the head or I gotta knock some sense in yall ass, in front of yo momma grave— man I'm too grown for this shit" Sie cut off our dad by completely walking off.
"Sieon don't do nothing dumb" our dad spoke behind Sie who was walking off a little more than drunk.
"I ain't even do nothing- shut the hell up" Jai'or shook his head before walking off behind Sie.
