Four Letter Word

Reverend Chasett

"Kyra Amaree Joseph."

* Flashback *

"Stickbug shut up!" Kyra yelled at me. "Im just saying..." "Well stop because no matter what happens we'll always be besties for life ok?" "Ok I get it." I stated weakly.

I was going to move miles away from my best friend and I had no idea how I was going to handle it. Bad enough my mother is gone but leaving my bestfriend behind? That's just plain cruel. Kyra's been the only one there for me throughout my whole 18 years. She knows me inside out and has been my partner in crime since pre preschool. How was I going to survive??

"You'll survive dont worry" she said as if she could read my mind. "I guess I'll take your word for it." "Darnell stop acting like we living in the prehistoric ages!! There's Facebook, Twitter, Oovoo, Email and phone.. so yes you are going to be just fine."

" Alright if you say so.." I said with heavy sadness. "Why dont we go to the park or something? I mean we still 3Weeks untill you go.. so lets go have some fun!!"

*End of Flashback*

Kyra, if she's mad has reason to be since Im the one that stopped calling and checking back own because of mad stress. But on the bright side I'm coming home after 12 years.

Kyra and I met at a daycare center when we were both one. I remember those soft hazel eyes that yearned for my red fire truck.

I moved to a corner to be in solitude and next I know I feel something behind me and I turn to see Kyra there all of her Barbie dolls back where whe was playing.

I didn't want to play so I pushed her and she fell back. Instead of crying she got back up and shoved me down grabbibg my toy with her while laughing.

A staff member captured her before she ran off and coaxed her into giving me back my toy.

Gosh I never realized how much I've been missing home. Ir more importantly Kyra.

Originally I was supposed to move to Boston, but when I that Hezekiah Baptist Church needed a new Reverend, I went in for the opportunity and got it!

My name is Darnell Tremaine Chasett. Age 31. My grandmother, Eliza Giselle Redwood and my mother Diana Loraine Chasett and I were living happily prior to the year 1993 when my world came to a halt.

My mother was taken away from me never to be returned.

Since my father, Joaquin Chasett had too passed but before I was born, my grandma deemed it best that I stay with her. But as the years proceeded, I began to see signs that her health was detoriating.

It was after I graduated from Anglewood High School that my aunt Sharol Redwood decided we would move in with her miles away in Chicago.

Thwarting my plans of attending Clark Atlanta University with Kyra.

Ever since my mother was taken from me I blamed God for it. I thought He should had saved her from leaving me behind. But it wasn't so.

Going into college I wanted to Major in business but after finally heading the call of the Holy Spirit, and accepting Jesus as the one true savior I changed course and and wanted to major in theology. Business became my minor.

And here I am.

Reverend Darnell Tremaine Chasett!!!

As I watched the movie Roots I began to ponder about tomorrow and what lies ahead. Im nervours about seeing Kyra for the first time in forever!!

I hope she's still the intelligent and humorous woman I knew. I fell asleep still with her in mind.
