Different minds, Different sights. Focusing on the pain makes me distracted from the light. As I write this note tonight I pray I grasp my way out of this dark life.

-Cypher

15 year old Cypher closed her notebook before running her hands through her dreads and letting out a sigh.

She enjoyed the short moment of silence until her twin sister Cartier stomped into her room.

"Cypherrrr" she whined gaining Cypher's attention. She nodded allowing Cartier to continue.

"Tell Kyro to let me go to that party tonight" she pouted before their 24 year old brother barged into the room.

"Tell her she don't need to be going to no party called the Freak Fest" he told to Cypher.

"Why not" Cartier rudely asked.

"Uhhhh cuz you fucking 15. What the fuck you wanna be up there for? It's a party for grown folks anyways" Kyro explained angrily.

Cypher watch the two bicker back and forth as normal.

"JB already told me I can go" Cartier revealed making Kyro's breath hitch. He began to speak before closing his mouth again and shaking his head.

"You hear this shit" he asked Cypher as she stared at him with a blank stare.

"Cypher, tell him to let me go. Y'all literally have my location" Cartier persuaded making Cypher look at her with the same stare.

The loud silence filled the room making Cartier huff before storming out the room. Her foot steps could be head stomping down the stairs making Kyro follow behind her.

"Where you going" he called out behind her as Cypher stood up and closed her door. The yelling coming from downstairs was overwhelming making her walk to her dresser and turn her speaker on.

Her music started playing at full volume as she grabbed her blunt out her ash tray and lighting it.

Each inhale made life feel easier.

She plopped on her bed and smoked while scrolling on her phone before a message came through.

Unc JB

3:28pm

come outside

Here I come

She stood up and shoved her phone in her pocket before leaving her room. Still hearing the argument going on, she quickly made her way outside.

She looked at the Metallic Red Charger with 5% tints on it in as she walked towards the car.

The front passenger window slowly rolled down revealing her Uncle. Tattoos covered his jawline and the side of his face. Above his eyebrow read Cypher's mom name inked in cursive.

"Wassup babygirl" he greeted with a wide smile exposing his white gold grills.

"Hey Unc" Cypher responded as she leaned into the window.

"How you doing" he asked.

"I been straight" she quickly answered watching her uncle removed a stack of money out the arm rest.

"Spilt this with Carti" he instructed tossing it in Cypher's lap. She picked it up in awe before a wild smile was brought to her face.

"Thank you" she thanked before putting her hand out making her uncle extend his out and pull her into a hug.

"No problem lil one" he responded as his attention now went to Kyro as he walked to the passenger side door.

"Aye, why the fuck you told Cartier she can go to that grown ass party" he rudely asked.

"Cuz she showed me who hosting that shit. It ain't nun but some little ass girls, but Imma grown man. You can't question me bout shit I do or say" JB quickly answered making Kyro come back with even ruder response.

They were so caught up with arguing that nobody noticed the two men creeping towards them.

"You JB from Piru" one asked standing in front of the car making Kyro quickly reach for his hip only to realize he left it in his house making him run inside.

"Yea, who asking bout m-" JB tried to answer before a bullet pierced his neck making Cypher quickly pull her seat down.

"Talk that shit now bitch ass nigga" the other man spoke coming from the driver seat door with his gun pointing to JB.

He held his neck as he gasped in pain while reaching for his gun that sat on side of him. Before he could even get a grip on it the 2nd man sent another bullet through JB's skull.

Cypher watched the bullet quickly fly through her window before JB's limp body fell on her.

She quickly flew up before making eye contact with the 1st gunmen.

"Lucky we don't smoke yo bitch ass for even associating with a slobe" he harshly spoke before the two ran off.

The loud screeches of their car speeding off could be heard, but once they were gone only JB's low groans were heard.

Cypher couldn't move as if she was the half dead body stuck on her. All she could do was listen to his low cries for help.

"Help me, help me, help me" he chanted lowly as blood spilt out his mouth. She listened to the chocking from the blood in his throat as he begged for his mom and older sister.

"Charmaine, please help me. Momma, please" he spoke lowly before he went back to groaning lowly.

Cartier eyes spilled with tears as her uncle took his last breath in her lap. Thousands of thoughts ran thru her head as she wondered where everybody went so quick.

An usually busy street was silent as night. She looked at the now red bills that covered the floor that were drenched in blood. Her eyes slowly went to the dead body in her lap only causing more tears to quickly roll down her face.

"KYROOOOO" she screamed as loud as she could even through he was far away in the house. She called out from her brother once more before going mute and letting the tears take over.

This was how it felt to be alone...
