I was sitting on the concrete steps by an apartment with Bobby, he just came from his grandmother's funeral. He called me over to meet him here, he didn't say a word he only looked down.
Bobby's friend Jamie sat next to him. "Sorry about your grandma, Bobby," Jamie says. "I knew she meant a lot to you."
Bobby slowly turns his head to Jamie. "She was my biggest fan."
"You ain't got no fans," Jamie jokes with a smirk on his face.
"Yea, I do," Bobby says wrapping his arm around my neck, making me laugh a bit.
Jamie got up and walked a couple of steps, then turned to face me and Bobby. "Y'all comin'?" ~~~~~
Jamie was riding his bike as I was on the handlebars on Bobby's bike. Bobby made a sharp turn around the corner, I gripped the handlebars tight. "Hold on, Roni," Bobby teased with a goofy smile.
"Shut up!" I laughed as I saw Jamie riding with a huge smile on his face. "Come on, y'all!" Jamie called out in front of us.
Bobby was laughing picking up more speed, I let go of the handlebars and raised my arms like I was flying, feeling the breeze. "Whooo!" I exclaimed, laughing.
"Okay, I see you, Kylea," Jamie smiles as he raises his arms too. "No hands! No hands! Let's go!" Jamie exclaims, Bobby is laughing shaking his head.
We stopped by behind an apartment building, where some kids were playing basketball. We hopped off the bikes, Jamie and Bobby put their bikes against the rails and joined the other kids playing ball.
I was talking to the girls that was watching the boys play ball. "Yo!" We turned to see Jamie walking up to a dude that was on Bobby's bike. "Get off my friend's bike."
"Who's bike?" The dude got off and pushed Jamie back.
"Jamie, don't take that," One of the kids says, Jamie pushes the dude back hard, causing him to fall on the ground. Jamie walked up to the kid, he got up and the two began to fight.
A switchblade fell on the ground, and the dude went and picked it up, another kid kicked him, tumbling to Jamie, and he got stabbed with the blade in the chest.
Jamie fell to the ground, me and Bobby ran to him, I took off my jacket and pressed on the wound to stop the bleeding. The dude and some other kids ran away from the scene.
"G-go get m-my mom," Jamie struggled. Bobby nodded his head and ran to Jamie's house. "Help me get him up," I told some of the other kids who stayed. Some picked up his legs and the others got his hands, I still put pressure on the wound as we went to Jamie's house.
