Crazy Story

Flashback 🥀

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom

"Ariana get down" the last words from my father

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom

We were outside playing, shots rang out. I was only 8 when my dad was killed.

He was trying to protect me, but I didn't know that was the last time he'd be able to

I was outside with Kyle, Von, Tae, Durk and Kayla.

Kyle is my older brother he's 4 years older than me. He was 12 when our pops was killed.

Durk, is another big brother to me. He and Kyle are the same age. He's wayyy more understating than Kyle

Deontae, (tae) is my best friend, we do everything together he's literally my heart, we're also the same age.

Kayla is my other best friend she's a year younger than me.

Dayvon, (Von) is my crush. He's 2 years older than me. He was always mean to me when we were kids but after my dad died stuff changed.

My dad was shot 8 times,  his best friend Mr B who's Von and Kayla dad was shot twice trying to save him

Von was closest to me so tackled me and shielded me with his body. Kyle did the same for Kayla, and Durk did the same for Tae.

Tires screeched as the bullets stopped flying.

Kyle got up and ran to our dad

"DAAAADDD" he screamed.

Mr. B was holding his side limping over to my dad

Von helped me up and we both ran over to our dads

You could hear the sirens in the distance getting closer and closer.

By the time I made it over to my dad he was taking his last breath

2 wks later

The day of my dads funeral. Nothing could prepare me for this.

My dad was my favorite person in the world, yes he sold drugs and I'm pretty sure he's killed people, but he never showed me that side of him. He always treated me like a ghetto princess.

Anyone who knew my dad knew I was his pride and joy. He love my brother and I the same but with me it was different.

Kyle always said I was daddy's favorite. It was only because our mom died giving birth to me. I never got to meet her, although Kyle was young when she passed he still got to experience her love.

Our moms mom hates our dad. I refuse to call her my grandmother. She told Kyle we ruined her daughter's life. She told me I took her life. Be careful what you tell a child, they remember hurtful shit for the rest of their lives. For a long time I hated myself. I mean after all I killed my mother.

"Don get up" Kyle said knocking on my door

Flashback in a flashback

Don was a nickname my daddy gave me, I thought I was supposed to be in charge of everything, and my dad was a capo. And I thought I was too

"no princesa soy el capo" he laughed
No princess I'm the capo

"papa quiero ser como tu"
Daddy I wanna be like you

He always laughed at me, and told me 'no seas como yo, se mejor que yo'
'Don't be like me be better than me'

"Ariana"

"Kyle I'm coming dang"

I walked out of the room to our small living room.

Kyle, Von, Kayla, Mr & Mrs B Durk and Tae were all waiting.

"Hey baby, you okay" Mrs B asked

I slowly nodded, while Kayla embraced me.

"Cmon Don, we gotta go" Mr B said

We walked outside and there were like 8 big black trucks, we were escorted to them and they all pulled off with police and other people from the neighborhood following us to church

Once we got there, they lead us in. Kyle was holding my hand we were at the front of the line. I've never seen a dead body so I was terrified. I squeezed Kyle's hand.

"Bubba I'm scared"

"Ari, we have to be strong for pops"

"Okay"

We walked down the aisle to the coffin, there laid my entire world.

He looked at peace. I know it's selfish but what do I do... how do we survive with out him? Who's going to provide for us? Who's going to cook for us? Keep a roof over our head?

"Lil Don, I got y'all. Don't worry" Mr B said i guess he read my mind, wrapping one arm around Kyle and picking me up

We sat on the very first row. The funeral people came to close his casket and I lost it.

I jumped up "No. no. Please no, don't take him from me, daddy please come back. Please you can't leave me" I was crying and screaming uncontrollably

I was finally letting go of my emotions, finally facing the fact that my daddy, my world is gone. Forever

"Cmon Don, you gotta be strong" von said trying to get me up

He finally sat me back down by Kyle who was being held up by Mr b

The pastor spoke, the choir sang and then it was time to go to the cemetery

"Ashes to ashes..." I quit listening until they told Kyle and I to release the doves

I started singing

"Some glad mornin' when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a land where joy is never ending
I'll fly away
Ohhh, I'll fly away, oh, glory
I'll fly away, in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away"

My daddy always said I had the voice of an angel, I had to sing for him one last time

As we released the doves i shed my last few tears "te amo papá"
