Today's my younger sister's birthday. She's finally 8 years old and I'm the only one who can take care of her. Our parents left us without any context and I found out they died in Florida. Both killed in a shooting.

My sister likes to hang out with me and the guys. They guys love her too and will do anything for her.

She hates it when I fight. I love it and since I'm gang leader, I am usually responsible for all our fights. She always tries to stop me in any way she can, I told her I'll lessen the fighting but I still need to, for my and her safety.

Now, I didn't want to upset her by starting a fight on her birthday. We were going to celebrate at Bucks since that's where we live. Buck let us and he'll close the place just for my sister's birthday.

"All of you, outside now." I said to all the guys. "Sophie, give me a minute. I need to talk to the boys, okay? Stay up here until I get back." I said to my sister. "Okay." She replied. I run downstairs and went outside.

Everyone was already outside, "What is it?" Said Dallas. "Look, whatever happens, do not start a fight. Got it?" I said. I pointed at each of them. "No fighting." I pointed to Steve. "No fucking fighting." I pointed at Dallas. "I don't want to see a single fight, not even verbally. Right?" I said.

"No. Fucking. Fighting!" I said. "It's Sophie's birthday and I don't want something she hates to ruin it. If there are anyone trying to get in, let Buck kick em' out. Right?" I said. They all nodded.

"Now, a few of Sophie's friends will be here, and I know some of you don't like kids but you're gonna have to try to watch every single one. Got it?" I said.

"Right, now just go back to what you were doing." I said. We all went back inside. While everyone was preparing downstairs, I was getting Sophie ready.

"When will my friends be here?" She asked. "Around 1. We still have to get the place ready." I said. "No fights right?" "Nope. Not a single one. I swear." I said.

"Pinky swear?" She said, holding her pinky out. "Pinky swear." I linked my pinky with hers.

"Okay now what are we going to wear?" I asked.
