GENESIS POV

"Get the fuck out and don't eva think bout coming back" my momma shouted as I finished packing my things holding my crying brother in my arms. " mane fuck you. you ain't shit anyways" I said walking out with me and Tj's bags. I tried calming him as I called Von.

"Yow" he answers after two rings."Come get me I'm at the park"

"Why? what's wrong and why is-"I hung up and started walking to the park trying to get my thoughts straight but I can't even say that am surprised. She been want me outta her house eva since that white nigga stepped in the picture but I'm pissed that she did this to Tj. He's just 5 years old.

She kicked us out cuz her husband don't wanna take care of no other nigga children yet he has 3 other white kids that ain't even his? fuck outta here wit that bullshit.

"want ice cream?" I asked Tj who just shocked his head "I wan maa" he started crying even harder than before. "It's gonna be ok bug, don't cry" I said kissing his forehead and I swore to myself at that moment that Ima make sure he ain't eva have to cry like this again.

20 minutes later Von pulled up in his black jeep. He saw the bags and a sleeping Tj in my arms and all he said was get in. The rest of the ride to his house was silent and he didn't ask any questions so I guess he already figured out what happened. Even tho Von was 2 years older than me, he was the only one who get me and he knew all about the situation with ma momma. When we got to the house Von took the bag inside while Im holding Tj still sitting in the car.

After 10 mins I got out and made my way to the house. As soon as I opened the door, I was welcomed with a hug from Von's older sister Tara. " Hey babe how you feeling?"

"I'm good just tired" I sigh.

"You can stay in the guest room yo stuff already in there" I heard Von's older brother say coming into the room. "You welcome to stay as long as you like "Tara said and I couldn't help but smile a little "Preciate it" I said heading for the stairs .

"No worries you family anyways" I smiled even more at that and headed up the stairs.

As soon I was in the room I lay Tj on the bed and joined him and soon after I slowly drifted off to sleep.



"Ay Genesis get yo black ass up"I groaned "Leave me be Im tryna get sleep" As soon as I said that I felt a slap on my arm "unc hit me again and I swear I'll punch those dentures out yo fucking mouth" I open my eyes and see ma uncle fuming.

"You ungrateful brat get the fuck outta ma car we here" he said getting out. I looked outside and saw the tattoo parlor and got out as well.

It's been a minute since I've been in Chicago. All that shit happened 5 years ago. From that, I was living with Von and we were causing havoc in the streets. We were already infamous before what happened for selling, fighting, and other petty shit. I graduated high school and dived even deeper than I was into the street life.

Then I got arrested 2 years ago for possession of drugs and got 1 year in prison and while I was in there Von dumbass got lock for some dumb shit but he'll be out soon . After I got out my uncle was making a scene and said that he wanted me with him in Seattle for some promise he made to ma father but I refused cuz he didn't want to take Tj cuz 'he not his problem'.

Me and Tj were half-siblings ma pops got locked when I was around 10 and Tj's dad died in a car accident 7 years ago. Matt was the one who convinced me to go with him for at least a year to try to better myself and said that he'd take care of Tj while I was gone so I agreed even tho I had no intention to do better. I just went to please everybody and have a little fun but I have no intention to do so again.

I step into the parlor and it suddenly became quiet and everyone turn to look at me as if it their first time seeing a black person"the fuck yall lookin at" I said as I walked in. Most of them went back to doing their  own thing while some continued to stare.

"I see you are still the same," I heard someone say chuckling . I turn to see who it was and saw that it was Mr. Gilbert. Now Im wondering if he realise that this is a tattoo parlor and not a shelther for the homeless.

"I see yo ancient ass ain't inna casket yet," I said with a fake smile " I see you're still as insolent as ever" I rolled my eyes "And I see you still a dick rider, are we done stating the obvious" I said earning a chuckle from a light skin male in the corner.

" What's so funny" I said mugging him" Ma fault" he said walking away why can't anyone mind they business today.

"I see you still got that temper of yours" Matthew said walking past the male with a smile. "Ion know what you talking bout", he sigh shaking his head" And where ma lil bro at"

"I was just heading out to get him from school. You can come too"

"Nah I'm good" I said " Cool. Oh tell Lorenzo to look after the shop while am gone" he said walking out the the door. Who the fuck is Lorenzo? I just shrugged and took a sit behind the counter and started to play a game on my phone.

"Did Matt leave to pick up Tj already" I looked up to see who's asking and saw the light skin male from earlier " yea" he made a humming sound and was about to walk away" do you know who Lorenzo is?" I asked.

"That's me" he replied " oh Matt said to tell you to look after the shop while he's out" I said " Oh Okay"

He was about to say something else when a customer walked in and he when to assist them and I just when back to playing my game.
