We sat at the table waiting on grandma to bring the food out

"Aye Ryan you good" Micheal asked me and I nodded

It was me mike, Bobby and Brandon here along wit my grandma

Grandma brought the rest of the food out and we grabbed each other hands and she said the prayer

"Amen" I whispered and when I looked up everyone was looking at me

"Yo" Bobby yelled "I haven't heard your voice in a minute"

I smiled and started eating my food

"Bobby and Ryan slow down there food not going no where" mike said and I looked at him

"We so use to not getting nothin but a granola bar on Fridays and the weekend we just you know." Bobby said and he nodded

We heard the door open and we looked back to see our father along wit mikes dad standing at the door

"Aye ma look at this mother fucker" Mike's dad said walking into the dinning room

"Hey son" she said

I looked at my dad who didn't even say anything to us

The room started spinning. I got out of my chair. I couldn't breath.

"Ryan" I heard Bobby say as Brandon came to me

Flashback*

We was a happy family. I was 13.

Trey had already left. Little did I know my dad was next

"Daddy" I yelled from upstairs

I was crying. Eyes were puffy. Didn't know who I was gonna talk to at school are help me wit the bullies at school

"Yes" he said walking into the room "do you think I'm fat and ugly? Everyone at school thinks I am do you"

He didn't say nothing he just got up

Minutes later mom and him started yelling

"What do you want me to do" my mom yelled

"I don't know. She's getting bullied for the shit" he yelled back

"Well" my mom said

And then I ran back to my room realizing they thought the same and the kids at school

A 16 year old Brandon walked in "fuck what everyone else think. Fuck them. Say it wit me Ry"

"Fuck them" I said smiling

He hugged me and wiped the tears off my face

We then heard them yelling and a 11 year old Bobby whose birthday was tomorrow came running in
