F.O.E 'Family Over Everything'

In Love?

Bronx, New York

I got dressed upstairs wearing this outfit

I wore my black Nike slides before walking out, Ma had made me bring lil bro to the park with me. Had no problem with it because he usually dont be under me as much.

He wore this fit, I was low-key jealous but couldn't be because Ma be dressing him sometimes since he throw on anything. "When we get to this park big bro gotta talk to the Huzz, so dont be all up under me." I laughed, "Man, I thought we was gonna play basketball," he frowned as we walked out of our building. "We are but just not right away," I explained, we crossed the street holding his hand. We walked on the sidewalk as the park was coming into distance we walked onto the court as lil bro ran off with some other kids

I seen this fine ass light skin girl and walked over, "my name Kevonte but call me Vonte," I smiled, I saw her blushing. "Oh uhm it's it's Tatiana," she stuttered, "oh cool name, you single?" I asked, she immediately gave me her phone. "Yes yes put the number in there Oh My God you're so fine!" Before covering her mouth. "Thanks, uhm okay," I said typing my number in her phone.

"I'm sorry I just get nervous around boys for some reason," she chuckled, "Nah it's cool you live around here?" I smiled, "No, I live in Harlem but my lil bro the one playing with your brother likes this park." She smiled, "oh thats lit, yeah me and lil bro both from here." I said, "my lil bro, Kevon he loves basketball I'm tryna get him into the league so he move me and Ma out the hood," I explained, "Thats whats up, my lil bro the same way," she smiled. "Yep, gotta be extra nice so he'll care of me," I laughed, "nah fr were so evil like whats wrong with us?" She laughed, then a noticeable red bmw pulled up.

It honked at me as I got up walking towards it, "what it do Vonte, here's the bag I want every drop of weed gone and sold by the end of the day," Ace smirked, this is ace the leader of the gang I'm in. This the nigga who would cause majority of the problems I will face, "Ma nigga I'm at the park with my lil bro." I said, "Oh? If you don't do this your little bro be in a body bag in the morgue," as one of the dudes pointed a gun at lil bro on the court, my blood ran cold. "Alright, fine I'll do it," taking the bag. "Ay knew you'd come around," ace smiled before driving off, I sat back down on the bench with the bag,

"Whats that bag?" She asked me, "nothing Tatiana just some sports equipment for Lil bro," obviously lying, couldn't let her know whats really in this bag. I seen Kelvin and tayvon walking into the park they dapped me up, "Sup with it," Kelvin smoked his blunt, "ay can we talk for a moment?" I said pulling them away, "Whats wrong everything cool?" They asked, "Nah, ace said I gotta sell this bag for a weed by the end of the day or else my whole fuckin' family is dead."

Kelvin shook his head, "Man, give us some and let us sell nigga." He smiled, "alright here," as I gave him some of the weed. "Alright gang ima meet up with you later, let's bounce tayvon." As they left, when I turned around Tatiana and her little brother got in their dad's car driving off. I walked onto the court and grabbed the basketball I tossed it back to Kevon, "Ready to get destroyed?" He laughed, "yeah whatever make sure that montcler doesn't get damaged."  I smiled, "Yeah okay," he bounced tne ball and went up for the layup, "okay I see you- told you I been practicing."

Later on at night we walked back to the apartment, Kevon kept complaining he was thirsty so we walked into the corner store. We walked to the back as he picked out some water, we went up the counter to pay. The employee looked at me with a side eye grabbing the bag and left. I met Kelvin as he handed me his share, "thanks gang i appreciate it," I dapped him up, "no problem you know I'm good at this shit," he smiled as me and lil bro walked back into the apartment. We took the elevator to the 25th floor before walking the rest of the way up.

I unlocked the door as we walked in, Kevon took his shoes off at the door and ran and landed on the couch, "I'm so tired !" He breathed hard, "Yeah me too, but damn you act lil you ran a marathon." I chuckled, "I basically did because Trey made me chase after him," he said grabbing the tv remote putting on YouTube. I leaned back on the chair as I seen a instagram live from Kelvin, Kelvin was in a bathroom fucking a girl but he didn't know he was live.

"What the fuck?" I yelled, lil bro looked over as I moved the phone so he wouldn't see, "what let me see!" He giggled getting up, "Bruh no, it isn't appropriate for you to see lil nigga sit down," I said motioning as he sat back down, "matter fact go hang your Montcler coat up before Ma walks in and sees you wearing it in the house," I instructed because Ma dont play about outside coats and shoes inside her living room, he got up moving quickly sliding around in his socks to his room. He hung it up putting it in his closet before returning,

I blew up Kelvin phone as he noticed he was on live fucking, "Shit! fuck!" All of our friends from school screen recorded it, Kelvin ended the live. I hurled over laughing so hard "this nigga stupid" I muttered, Tatiana called me laughing. "Ay you see your friend on live fucking this bitch?" She chuckled, "Yeah his ass stupid, I know on Monday we all gonna be talking about this shit no cap." I laughed, "right, how dont you know your on live fucking?" She asked, "Because he's slow, yep mhm, I be seeing him enter them slow classes at school I just don't be saying nun so I don't come off as rude." I explained, "Damn, you're a good friend for real, I know other friends would of came out and exposed their friend," she smiled chuckling, "Yeah, because I know if it was me in that situation I wouldn't want my friend to expose me." I said rubbing my eyes,

"Alright ima go get ready for bed, peace." We both said bye as I hung up,

I walked to my room as lil bro laid out slumped like this

I smiled before getting on my bed, I feel asleep.

I seen dad, I was in a dark room I was chained to a chair dad had blood in his mouth and smiling. "Lil nigga, I should have had your mom abort your stupid ass." More blood oozed out his mouth as he lit a blunt putting it in his mouth. "Fuck you dad!" "I fucking hate you, you was beating on her." I sobbed but the chains got tighter, "Should have stayed in a child's place but you wanted to play hero." He smiled, "your mom will get her neck sliced open by an unknown man, your little brother would get shot inna crossfire and die." He smiled, I seen mom walking to her car but an unknown man followed her I tired to scream but couldn't.

He sliced mom's neck open as she fell to the floor gasping. She laid on the snowy pavement blood oozing through her throat. "Mom!' I yelled as dad laughed at me, "you're so dumb, she can't hear your dumbass cry." She laughed. Then I seen lil bro playing in our auntie front yard a red dodge charger sped by shooting as bullets tore through his little chest. "KEVON!" I screamed as blood oozed out his mouth, "Lil nigga ain't even stand a chance," dad smiled,

"And ima make sure your ass gets stuck with a baby for the rest of your life, and you be forced to take care of that baby or you'll die." He laughed, I placed my head down. Then I woke up thank God it was only a dream.
