"Family of Giovanni Thompson" a doctor called out making everyone stand and walk over.
"Is he okay? Can we see him?" My mother started asking questions instantly.
"I'm so sorry to tell you all this, Giovanni's wounds were pretty severe and during the bullet removal procedure he lost a lot of blood , we did try stabilizing him but he passed away..." The doctor explained.
"Oh my gosh not my baby please someone tell me this is a dream" my mother spoke with tear filled eyes trying to hold her composure.
I stood there shocked with tears falling down my face.
My brother had been killed...
I jumped out of my sleep, checking my phone. Sept.18th ~ 6:30am, damn.
My brother had been shot and killed when he was sixteen and I was fourteen years old. My mom always tried keeping him away from the streets, because you could never be caught lacking. It's been five years since he had been killed making me 19 . Everyday gets harder not knowing who killed my brother, but I swear I'll be the one to kill them.
Looking back at my phone it was now 7:30am . Shaking my head I got up out of my bed to start getting ready. I have to be at work by 8:30 but traffic be crazy and my job is about an hour away. I have to be at the shop early to set up for the re-grand opening of 'Fierce & Sassy Beauty Salon'. I work there for Mrs.Grainger as a hairstylist and nail technician.
I went ahead and got dressed putting on some black high waisted skinny jeans, a black and white NIKE just do it t-shirt with my white Air Force ones. Adding accessories I went with my 18K white gold diamond earrings & MK Camille Pavé Silver-tone watch . I did a natural makeup look although it's something I usually don't wear other than for certain occasions & curled my hair .
"Okay all done" I spoke aloud to myself grabbing my MK purse, keys, and phone making sure to lock up the house.
Jumping in my all black 5.0 mustang GT I pulled off heading to the shop, listening to Lil Durk & Lil Baby 'Voice Of The Heroes' album bang through my speakers .

"Bitch I just cannot believe that Darrius won't take care of his child, but he out here playing step-daddy to the bitch around the corner from my house I know he been fucking her." My client, Amauri spoke loud enough that I'm sure everyone heard that.
Amauri was here getting a full set & a lace frontal wig install while I'm doing her hair I hear my name being called so I look up to see my brother's bestfriend Tayshawn, he's been by my side since.
"Hey Lani lemme holla' at you when you finish up?" He asked.
I nodded my head , " Yeah I have 3 other clients but I'll call you when I get off to talk, everything good?"
He simply nodded "Alr sis I'll holla' at you then be safe." And with that he walked out of the door .
"I'm finished" I told her, while taking videos and pictures of my work posting it on the gram.
