"Amari, calm down. They not shooting no more." I said trying to calm her down.
"Where is mama at?" She asked me while still crying.
"They outside handling it. Just calm down." I said rubbing her back. I walked to the bathroom to get her some tissue. We heard the front door close. I grabbed her hand and walked out of their room.
"Mir, when they started shooting?" My dad asked when they walked through the door. He had blood on him. I already knew what he had did.
"Like 10 minutes ago." I said. He walked past me. My mom was standing there.
"Thank you Mir." She said. I nodded my head.
"So he killed them?" I said looking at my momma.
"They was looking for him, so yeah. He killed them." She said. I shook my head. I walked Mari to her room and closed the door.
I walked to my room and closed the door.
"This shit not good bro." I said picking up my phone. I called my cousins and told them what just happened.
Facetiming Cuzzos🌪️
"Nigga why you calling so early?" Brendan, My uncle Keem son, said answering the phone. I sucked my teeth.
"What nigga." SJ, uncle sadik son, said. "I was just finna get some play."
"Why Slim and Juice not answering the phone?" I said ringing they phones.
"They got in trouble earlier." Brendan said. I slid my hand down my face.
"What you need from us nigga."
"Bro, they just shot up the house with me and mari in it."
"Who is they?" SJ asked mugging the camera.
"Folks, Izzy and them. Her and her crazy ass brothers. But my dad had killed them cause he thought they was looking for him." I said and they started laughing.
"So what you want us to do about that shit?" SJ asked still laughing.
"Nigga. The fuck I'm finna say when her mama and her bald head ass daddy come over here and ask what happened to her brothers?" I said getting irritated cause they taking this as a joke.
"Bro just say you don't know. I told you not to stick to dick in that girl. Told you she fucking crazy." Brendan said.
"Bro y'all niggas are no help." I said hanging up the phone.
"This shit crazy as fuck." I said. I laid down and started watching movies and shit until I went to sleep.

The next day I got up like it was a regular day. I brushed my teeth and got in the shower and shit. I got dressed and grabbed my phone, airpods, and my crossbody bag with my chargers, vape, and my pencils.
"Come on Amari." I said yelling from the kitchen. She walked out her room. I grabbed my keys out my bag and we walked to my car. She had her purse along with her duffel bag for track practice. My practice bag for track stayed in my car.
"What happened last night?" She asked me. I looked over at her and put my eyes back on the road to pull out the driveway.
"What you mean?" I asked her.
"Why they shot up the house last night?" She asked me.
"Aye listen, don't tell nobody about that shit. Not even our family. Not nobody. Don't even talk about that with me. Nothing happened last night." I said looking her in her eyes as I stopped at the red light.
"You hear me Mari?" I said still looking at her.
"Yeah." She said. I pulled off as the light turned green.
I drove to the school. I parked on the side of the building. We walked in the school.
"What the business is Mir?" Brendan said approaching me with a dap. I met him in the middle.
"Not shit."
"Waddam wit it lil Ja." Brendan said nudging Mari. She wasn't in the mood so she just walked off to homeroom to put her practice bag down.
"Aye tho, Izzy parents called you yet?" He said speaking low with his arm around my shoulder.
"Hell nawl. Aye, I might just block them mu'fuckas though." I said.
"Aye do that, hit me back when you hear some though." He said walking away. I dapped him up.
"Ight twin." And I walked to first period.
