Summer Raven -19 years old 📍- ATL
"Summer get your ass in here right now" My momma says screaming to the top of her lungs so loud the whole block can probably hear.
"Yes momma" I look confusingly wondering why she screaming so loud that the whole Georgia can hear.
"Imma need you to go to the store and grab some red hots and a bag of French fries and cook that for you and your siblings tonight" as she takes $15 dollars out and hands it to me.
"Bring me my change back too" she says as I was making my way to the door out the house.
I do really love my momma I do but ever since her and my dad divorced she hasn't taken care of us at all I know it hit her pretty hard to where I've had to take care of my little sister and brother.
Peyton and Devon are twins both 16, Peyton stays in her room 24/7 on the phone. Unlike her twin who stays on the corner of the block with wannabe gangbangers.
As I say this while walking I see Devon on the block with a group of guys.
"Where you going"
"Mind your business lil boy" as I walk by him and his group of friends
"Be safe Summer"
"You too Devon I love you" I really do truly love my brother and I'm hoping he'll come to his senses that these streets ain't gonna do nothing but bad for him I've tried to talk to him but hopefully he'll have a wake up call cause I can't lose nobody else.
I finally get to the store I go to the meat section and grab the red hots, the cheapest bag of frozen fries to fry, and some bread and head to check out.
"Hey Ms.Pam" I say with a big smile
"Hello beautiful, how's momma been" as she says as she scans and bags my items
"She's been doing good, can you put the bread in a separate bag please"
"Yes Sugar" as she finishes up my bag
I give her the money and grab my receipt and change and put it in the bag and start my walk back home
As Im walking home a few blocks down from my house I hear shots go off nearby
I start to run not knowing where the shots are coming from I hear them stop I get tired of running and speed up my walking hoping to make it back home
Only a few blocks to go Summer, keep going I think. As Im speed walking a blacked out charger pulls up next to me
Lord I'm not ready to die yet as I see the window rolling down. I take off sprint, I feel like sha'carri.
The car catches up
"Aye shawty ain't nobody tryna hurt you hop in I know you heard them shots go off"
"I ain't hopping in shit don't scare me like that nigga"
Swear I thought my life was coming an end the way I just ran. I need to get in the gym more ain't no way I'm this outta breath "damn" I say outta breath
"Stop playin games I'll take you to your crib ain't no telling when mfs will start shooting again"
He right though and I'm outta breath, I hesitated but then I hop my tail right in that car and place the bags on the floor
I take a good look at the dude he's a fine brown-skin, tatted up too and all and could dress. I notice a gun on his lap
He hand me his phone
"Type yo addy in the gps"
I did and hand it back to him, noticing the perms in his mouth when he spoke.
Whew he is fine I think I stay focused on where he's going though making sure ion get took
We don't say much it was a pretty quick ride as we pull up to my house he says nothing but stops in my driveway and unlocks the door
"Thank you" I grab my bags and walk in the house
I begin cooking as soon as I get in the kitchen and lay the food on the table
"Momma, Peyton the food done" I yell through the house
I open the door "Devon get inside the food done"
"I'll catch y'all later"
"Who that nigga that dropped you off Summer"
"Mind yours lil boy"
"Just looking out sis you know I'll blow a nigga bout my sisters"
"Boy shut up" Peyton interrupts
We all sit at the table eating our food guessing momma had grabbed her plate and went in her room she doesn't eat with us anymore either it feels like she doesn't wanna acknowledge the fact that we're here sometimes
"I'm so serious don't let me find out y'all fucking with no niggas from the south either"
"Boy shut up what I tell you about hanging round them niggas"
"Man Summer ion wanna hear it"
"Whatever" I say and let it be
"Y'all hear that shooting" Peyton says obviously trying to switch from the situation
"Hell yeah, 2 people died and they still haven't caught nobody" Devon says
Like usual people die down here and they never catch the killer because ain't nobody gone snitch fearing they'll be next a sick world we live in but that's how it is here
Everyone finish they food and I go ahead and hop in the shower to get the hot water first
"Man Summer come on I gotta piss and shower and you finna take all the damn water"
I dry off and wrap my towel around me and head to my room and Devon rushes in
I close and lock my door and drop my towel and start apply my lotion all over my body and run my hands with the remaining that's left and notice my ring my grandma gave me was missing
I rush to put on some clothes and start looking everywhere but it's no where to be found I'm thinking I dropped it earlier. I could cry that's the only thing left I have from my grandmother and I'm already knowing someone probably picked it up and took it.
As I lay in my bed a disappointed tryna take my mind off things I scroll on my phone til I eventually fall asleep.
"SUMMER WHO CAR OUTSIDE MY HOUSE" I hear my momma yell waking me up.
