"Ki wake tf up!"-T screams.
Looking up at my cousin I rolled my eyes and put the pillow over my head attempting to go back to sleep.
"Oh hell nah Ik you ain't having no attitude with me miss mam! Jay you better get over here and wake yo cousin up!"taiana says
"Ok I'm up!" I reply sitting up in my bed and rubbing my eyes.
"Good now come downstairs for some breakfast. We have a long day ahead of us!" T skips out of my room all giddy. I began to sit and ponder on how tf did my life get to this point.
The names Faukiko. Pronounced like (faux-key-ko). Ppl used to bully me and call me names like fuck you growing up, but it never really bothered me. In fact I found the names quite funny. Unlike the fat jokes, jokes about my name wasn't as bad as the ones about my weight.
Though that happened mostly in high school.
I'm currently in my mid 20s and living with my twin cousins in their big three story house.
Let's just say half of my family got good money and the other side doesn't, and I happen to be on the other side.
Even though my parents aren't as wealthy they live a pretty middle class lifestyle. Paying for the bills weren't my biggest worries as a child, but on occasion we did struggle. Anyways my mom comes from a wealthy family.
My mothers grandfather was some type of rich businessman. In all honesty I couldn't care less about meeting my moms side Bc most of em were stuck up anyways. Except for a few of aunts,uncles,and cousins.
My mothers side always disapproved of my father and mothers relationship.
Mostly Bc my paternal grandparents had no high social status or great financial standing. It's funny the contrast between my mother and fathers family.
My paternal grandparents migrated to the states when my father was three.
My dad grew up poor. Though since his family was so big it was hard to be sad Bc you had one another to lean on. You struggled together. That's what I loved about my dads family they loved hard and weren't afraid to do so either . I think that's why my mom fell in love with him. My father is such a real and authentic person, I'd like to say I take after him in some aspects lmao
Growing up my mother explained to me how much her parents wanted to marry her off to their business partners kids, but most of em were rich pricks. She had found my dad working as a bus boy at her sister's restaurant from then on they hit it off. It was some cute shit you'd see in the movies. It was some Romeo and Juliet type of love story, minus the whole dying and everything
As I'm continuing to think about life, I'm quickly pulled out my thoughts by the sound of heavy footsteps running up the stairs. Before I could get up from my bed. the next thing I know I'm being tackled by T and jay.
" Gtfo me u heavy mfckerss —" I breathed out before I began to speak incoherently.
" not until you get out this bed!" Jay screams and T's dodo head ass is giggling while laying on my stomach.
" I can't fckin move dumb asses!" I scream into one of their backs.
For such rich business owners they're not as bright as you'd assume.
In all actuality they're both pretty air headed well at least socially.
The twins aren't necessarily dumb their just not street smart and haven't really faced many hardships in life. Their definitely book smart tho I'll give em that, but they've been spoiled their whole life and most of the their success has been passed down through our family. Their mom is my mothers older sister and the owner of the most infamous bar chains in the country, and the original bar is the most popular in our city. It's called mood swings. once my aunty died the twins took over the business completely.
" oops my bad" jay says now getting up from the dog pile, but once he moves Ts just laying out on top of me. We're now back to back.
" don't forget ki we have a big day ahead of us! You need to eat breakfast and go to the store to get ready for the club tonight! Ouuu I can't wait to hear you perform!" Now getting up t says squishing me and holding me tight in a hug.
"Uhhh do I really have to? I can't believe you guys are making me do this." I sigh
" I mean you could live on the street if you'd like..." jay says sarcastically.
I scold and flip him off.
" shut up jay! Ki Yk we'd never do that" t says in a pouty face
" ofc Ik" I respond.
Ik even though they were joking they never really meant it. The twins and I are like siblings. I have three brothers but all of em are half my age. Idky my parents decide to take almost decade to have my siblings but I loved them so much. But growing up it was always us three together. Jay, t, and ki
" Yk ki we just wanna get you back into the groove of things. Get you back to your old self. Your so talented ki I love your voice so much!" T exclaims.
" Ik know you guys do and Yk how grateful I am for you guys for letting me stay here. id sing 24/7 to repay you guys for all that you do for me fr I owe y'all so m—" I say before being cutoff
" shut up ki you don't owe us shit! your our older sister we'd never let you go out sad!" Jay exclaims
I nod my head.
" yeah Yk we gotchu forever sissy!" T says
"Thank you guys! I love y'all! And I'm sorry but Yk how it's been with singing it's just—tough I guess."
They both nod
"Yea ofc ki we understand, the industry ain't easy but just cause you ain't making hits doesn't mean you should give up on singing as a whole. I mean shi who knows maybe this could be a turning point for your career." J says
I nod and say yeah.
After a few minutes of joking around they leave and go downstairs.
I get up from my bed and start getting ready for the day. I hopped in the shower and was jus contemplating my life decisions once again. For the past few months I've been doing a lot... and I mean A LOTT of thinking
At a young age my family and I discovered my talents within the arts. At first it started with reading, weird right. I'm such a bookworm, but at my young age I was reading three grades above my reading level. From there my parents knew I was special, but that was only the beginning. I had slowly started diving into drawing, painting, and many other visual and performing arts. Until one day when I was about 6 or 7 I had learned how to sing forever dont last by Jazmine Sullivan.
According to my father I sang the hell out of it and that's when they started having me sing regularly at family functions, in public, or in church. Funny actually because even though I was so talented my singing career was absolutely shit.
Let's just say I've been signed a few times and each time management wanted me to make certain types of music, dress a certain way, even go so far as telling me I need surgery to keep up in the game.
I wasn't down for it at all and I think that's why I'm here today showering and changing in my younger siblings big ass house...sad life.
Music labels had traumatized me so much I just couldn't do singing anymore. My morals and values have been engrained in me since I was young but as I've gotten older everything I do constantly compromise said morals.
I hop out the shower and head downstairs. After eating breakfast me and T went shopping while j had to go run some errands. We said we'd regroup in a few hours before opening the club up. Oh boy let's see how this goes
