Who could be calling this early in the morning?

I turned over, looked at the clock to see it was 5:30 AM
"Jesus Christ"

I picked up the phone trying not to dose off
"Talk to me"
........

I sat up in confusion and concern
"WHAT?!"

I hung up the phone, put on a jacket, grabbed the keys and rushed out the house as fast as I could.

I made it to the scene and ran over to the body bag as the paramedics were about to take it in the ambulance.

"Wait! Wait! Wait, No!"
Dad started holding me back and I was fighting for him to let me go

"No! No! No!"
Dad: "Listen, Listen! Wait!"
"No! No! Get off of me! Stop!"

He let me go and I walked over by the body bag, I pulled my arms through my sleeves fully and started to unzip the bag as I saw the reveal of my dearest brother, Day-Day.

Laying there. Cold as ice. Life less.
I started touching his face and examined him to make sure it was him. I zipped the bag back up and turns to my dad.

"You had something to do with this, didn't you?"
Dad: "What do you want me to say Babygirl?"
"Go to hell. Go to hell! Go to hell!"

Dad: "Babygirl-"
"You are every bit as responsible as that Ghostface mask killer who did this to my brother! And don't "Babygirl" me!"

He started walking towards me but I backed up
"No, don't even come NEAR me. I HATE you. You might as well thrown him off a bridge your damn self"

I looked at him up and down in disgust and I ran all the way back home in tears

I ran up the my room and sat on my bed and cried more. A little after I thought taking a shower would help do I went in the bathroom and took a shower and brushed my teeth. After that I put on this outfit and put my hair in a hairstyle.

I grabbed my backpack along with my keys, wallet and lipgloss.

I walked to my moms room to see her still asleep, I walked over to her, gave her a kiss on the forehead and walked downstairs then walked out the door.

I walked to Countess's house and waited for her to come outside

Countess: "Wassup Babygirl?"
"Hey" I said dryly and we started walking to school
Countess: "You okay?"

I was in deep thought, kept having that picture of my brother in that body bag

"Hm? Yeah, I'm cool"

Some time had passed and we made it to school on time.

~ LUNCH TIME~

After we got out of our last class we all sat at a table like we always do until someone decided to pay me a little visit .

Janet: "Whoo! Bit O'Honey at the door"
Countess: "Oh, Lord! That is Tupac Shakur. Yearbook page 27, third row, second column. Career goal, Famous rapper of all time"

Janet: "Ooh, here he come. Here he come. Here he come"
"Damn girl, okay I heard you the first time"

He started walking and making his way downtown to our table
Tupac: "Hello, ladies"
Janet: "Hi, Tupac"
Countess: "Hi, Tupac"

He crouched down next to me and scooted over by me a little
Tupac: "Aaliyah, I was wondering if I could get you-"
"No I don't think so"

I picked up a magazine and started reading
Tupac: "Well, maybe we could just-"
"Nah, not my style"

Tupac: "Are you physic or something or are you just not interested, because if you aren't then you could just say that"
"Just busy, Love"

He stood up and walked away with his home boys
Countess: "What's wrong with you, Liyah? Baby is Foine!"

"My dad said I can't talk to him, and I have to follow orders"
Countess: "Girl, we all know you don't listen to you father, so just tell us what's really going on"

I looked down at my watch and saw it was time for my next class

"Well, would you look at that? It's time for my next class, we'll chit chat later. I'll put y'all up on gang banged later on"

I left the cafeteria and walked to my locker to get my book, then I started walking to my next class.

I saw a basketball tryout flier on the wall, I took it off the wall, folded it up and put it in my pocket.
