Emerald's POV😔👩🏾👫
~}~{~}~{~}~{~}~{~}~{~

Me: At first all we could hear was glass shattering and screams. Danny was crying while I covered his mouth trying to keep him as quiet as possible. After a while things just...got quiet. Police sirens were going off but they were going any and every where except our house.

Mr.Kane: What happened after things calmed down?

Me: Calmed down? Nothing was ever calm in that neighbor hood. Especially with us.

Flashback 🙌🏾🔥🎆
||||||||||||||||||||||
We were walking home from school when we heard the Benz riding past blasting it's trap music. It slowed down beside us as the window rolled down and turned down the music a little.

Zion: Aye.

Me: Wassup?

Zion: That's Daniel?

Me: Who wants to know.

Zion: Me, girl.

Me: Why? *puts arm around Daniel*

Daniel: *hides behind me a little*

Zion:I heard he was messing with my lil bro today.

Me: *looks at Daniel then back at Zion* Zion I-I'm sorry. He don't know any better.

Zion: Yeah I know. *looks us up and down*

Daniel: He started it!

Me: Danny shut up.

Zion: Aye little homie this time imma let you slide. But imma remember and you better watch yourself because I got a short temper.

Me: Thanks Zion.

Zion: *laughs* You a pretty little thang...

Me: *looks down*

Zion: *grins* Lets go.

The car sped off turning back up the music.

Daniel: Suck my ass!

Me: *punches him in his arm*

Daniel: Ow!

Me: Are you crazy?!

Daniel: Whatever.

Me: It's not whatever Danny. Why would you mess with Brian?

Daniel: Brian Gerald?! He ain't nobody.

Me: Nobody my ass! You broke his nose! His brother is Zion. The biggest dealer around here. Killed 8 people and never got caught! Two of em he killed just because they looked at one of his homeboys side eyed.

Daniel:*shrugs*

Me: He find out his brother got beat up what you think he gonna do?

Daniel: *looks down*

Me: *sighs*

Daniel: I'm sorry.

Me: Don't be sorry be careful. We already got enough problems I ain't risking losing you.

Daniel: Okay ,Mom. *says sarcastically*

Me: What's that suppose to mean?

Daniel: You only 2 years older than me.

Me: Two years, two minutes, two seconds I don't care I'm still your older sister.
