In Love & War (complete)

Jays P.O.V.

Growing up I'd always move around alot from hood to hood. but I was always known on the north side by my people's.

I was born in trinity gardens where my grandmother used to stay, then after the hurricane my grandmother moved to Rosewood and my mom moved to greenspoint close to my godbrother when I was just turning Two.

Two years gone by and things in greenspoint started to get worse. Nearly every night people would hear gunshots go off in the neighborhood. one night I stayed over at my grandmother's house and she got a call from my godmother and that's when she broke down crying. I was only 4 years old and I ain't know what was going on.

The next day I was in church with my dad and saw my momma in a coffin with flowers on it "momma wake up" I said hitting the coffin. People in the church started crying as my dad came and picked me up. "What happened to momma" I asked my dad and he started crying.

Over the next year my dad took me in and we lived in 5th ward. I started to get in some trouble with fights I got into so my dad left me to stay in senic wood with my great grandmother.

In fourth grade my dad got out of fifth ward and he moved to northshore where he took me in.

My dad was always a busy guy so I'd hardly see him growing up. He didn't even see me get born because of a meeting he had out of town.

After graduating from elementary school my grandmother took me out to see my great grandmother in Mississippi over the summer while my dad moved out to Atlanta.

I started out middle school in Atlanta with my cousins and I liked it. People there were cool and somewhat unpredictable.

In 8th grade I got my permit and my dad decided to leave me home by myself one week since he had another conference out of town. On that last day he was supposed to be out of town I was coming from the grocery store and after I put all of it up I get a call from my cousin chantelle. "turn on the TV look at The news" I cut it on to see a plane that's been crashed badly and they showed the victims who died and my father's face was on there. I dropped my phone in disbelief that he died on the plane crash I sat in the corner in shock at what happened. My cousin chantelle came in the door and saw me in the corner lost in space.

"Jay................Jay...............Jay.......... Jay wake up"
