" why yall look so sad, what don happened now?" my momma asked us as she walked into the living room of her house while me, kaliyah, kennedy and tamia sat on the couch.

" nothing" I mumbled as i rocked kaliyah to sleep in my arms.

" something happened, i know something did. So tell me" she said as she took off her work sweater, walking further into the house.

" her friend got shot and killed" kennedy spoke up for me.

Even though me and brittany weren't that close, she was filled with energy. She kinda reminded me of kennedy because she was the mom type . She was always there and she always made sure I was okay with kentrell. She was beautiful inside and out and when I heard the news from one of my co-workers at work, then I was shook.

I lost so many people close to me and I actually felt that it wasn't fair and I couldn't lie though, downsouth taught me so much.

"oh my goodness! that must be so horrible. I'm so sorry to hear that" my mom spoke with a voice filled with pity and sympathy.

She came over and leaned down to hug me. she gave me one of them types of hugs when you could really feel one someone is actually sorry. It only made me cry, even worst than I did earlier.

" awww baby, everything is gonna be alright. she in heaven now" she explained to me while I whimpered. It all reminded me of one time, it sounded kinda familiar to the time when.....

flashback

" aye i'm finna go hit up foenem crib, i be right back" capo told me as he started to walk to squeak's house which was around the corner from our grandmother's house.

" come back forreal G. it's boring as fuck ova here" I complained looking around at the dry block, that had no action at all.

" ight bet, ima come back" he told me as he continued to walk down the block of kingston.

I sat on the porch and watched as the cars rode past and I watched as the kids played on the sidewalk. I watched how all of the old people smile and laughed with each other on the porches. It was a nice 80 degree weather today in chicago, which meant everybody was outside.

" look who it is, my sexy mama!" A voice shouted out causing me to turn my head and see jamiyah walking up the block with chariah.

" wassup yall" I smiled feeling less lonely now.

" yo, what's the word shorty?" chariah asked as they both walked closer towards my porch making me sigh. " shit, i'm on punishment" I told them as I shook my head.

" you must had bad grades" jamiyah guessed as she stepped on my porch with chariah right behind her. I nodded slowly, " hell yeah, I just can't wait until senior year" I told them thinking about the long 2 years that we had left, considering we were incoming sophomores at dyett highschool.

" I could've sworn I see cap out hea witchu earlier, whea that nigga at?" Jamiyah asked as she took a seat on one of the concrete steps along with riah.

" he ova there on squeak block" I signed hoping he'll come back soon.

" its hella Lil daddies ova there" chariah laughed.

" thot ass, its nothing but nolimits ova there. They so irritating" I complained, chucking a bit.

" bro forreal, but cap ain't that bad" jamiyah added .

" you just saying that cause thats my cousin" i laughed shaking my head.

" nawl on Vito that nigga cool as fuck" jamiyah told me.

The wind blew more causing the trees to shake and our hair to blow.

"Damn the wind gone blow one of my damn tracks away" chariah asserted as she held her hair down with her hands.

From a far distance, screeching tires could be heard and loud screams could be heard followed by gunshots, loud ones!

" bro what the fuck!" Jamiyah yelled standing up from the steps and running towards the gunshots.

" miyah no, what is you doing bro?!" I yelled running off the porch to go get her and chariah ran after all of us.

Soon the gunshots stopped and then more screeching tires could be heard. We all ran down the block soon to hit squeak's block where we seen a big crowd on the sidewalk.

" CAPO! Wake up!" Squeak yelled as he clapped on the ground right in front of his house.

" G! No bro, this cant be true" I said to myself as I jogged over to the crowd.

I walked up to the crowd and there laying was capo taking his last breath.

" naw man" I cried as I fell out, only to be caught by chariah.

He had blood coming from his chest and it looked as if he was trying to say something but it never came out. He died right there on the ground.

Flashback over

Just imagine...your first cousin gone. It was crazy because I saw him take his last breath. After that I was fucked up. I took medication daily all because they labeled me as mental.

" you wanna go upstairs and go to sleep, i'll watch kaliyah " my momma told me as stood in front of me.

" nawl it's good, im finna go up to the hospital anyway" I told her as i stood up from the couch with kaliyah in my arms.

" leave her with me, i got her" my mom told me as she reached for kaliyah but i didn't budge.

" nah ma it's cool, I got her" I said before walking over to her car seat which was on the ground over by the door.

" whatchu doin hea? Thought you was mad at me" Kentrell asked as I walked in his room with kaliyah's carseat in my other hand.

" iam, I'm mad at all of yall" I mumbled as I walked over to a empty seat .

" that ain my prollem, dem niggas shot at me so we shot at dem" he asserted after shrugging.

I walked over to the chair next to the one kaliyah was in and took a seat, then the room went silent and it caused a awkward tension between us.

" tia, i know you aint mad ova dat mane, it was either me or ha. Dem niggas down bad and you know it!" he asserted,and I just shook my head.

" okay kentrell, but sometimes you gotta think about my feelings. You never do that G" I complained as i moved my fingers in motion like the typical black girl.

" don't start this, you see i'm laying inna fucking hospital bed" he told me calmly. " alright bro, you brung it up" I said after smacking my lips.

" youn really gotta be hea mane" he said in a petty manner causing me to chuckle to myself.

" you got the nerve to argue with me and yo homies just killed my friend? but it's ok cause i'm finna leave anyway" I said as I stood up from the hospital chair and walked over to pick up kaliyah.
