F.O.E 'Family Over Everything'

Moving to Atlanta

10:30 AM
Bronx, New York

I spent time packing boxes with lil bro, Kelvin and Tayvon and my uncle Javon. We loaded boxes onto the U-Haul, my uncle hired movers to drive the U-Haul down to the A, while me, Tatiana and lil bro take an airplane. Lil bro wore his outfit sitting there watching us pack his clothes, his game console and bedroom set. Tatiana folding his clothes looked over rolling her eyes at him "Boy if you don't get up and help damn," she said placing each piece of clothes into a bag, "With what? I don't know how to fold plus everything is too heavy," he smiled, "cmon, I'll show you how to fold." She smiled as Kevon sat on the floor she taught him how to fold clothes properly, Kevon did one set and noticed it was easy so he started helping her do it.

He picked up a drawing of me, mom and him drawn by somebody in Times Square who did drawings. "I miss Mámi, I just wish she was here." He frowned, "Shes looking down proud Kevon, she wouldn't want you to be sad okay?" Tatiana smiled. "Okay, I guess you're right." As Tatiana took the picture and placed it into a special pocket in his backpack.

This is Tatiana,

Meanwhile me and the boys carried TVs, bedroom sets, couches and shit out of the apartment. "Let's keep pushing, we gotta this stuff in the U-Haul by the time the movers come!" Uncle Javon yelled, me and Kelvin carried the dresser and placed it against the back and moved towards the door. Once it was packed up they locked the U-Haul and the movers got in, "We be driving this Atlanta," the Mexican mover smiled, "Yes, I sent you the address already," I smiled, "Okay," they said getting into the truck driving off.

We got into uncle Javon car we arrived at JFK airport, New York. My auntie Synia got out the car hugging us. "Kevonte, we miss you be safe and dont get into no trouble out there," she hugged me tightly before turning To Kevon, "Your so brave Kevon, I want to be great, continue to play basketball and do well in school, TT loves you dont never forget it." She smiled hugging him, "I love you too!" He smiled hugging her as I grabbed the suitcases, Tatiana walked to TSA.

"I know a way around this shit," she said as I followed her, "How there no way through." I said, "watch," I watched her walk pass confidently and when we went to do it no one asked or even noticed. Just right then I knew I needed TSA pre check, doing this is cool and all but I'm not tryna get banned from flying because I'm ducking TSA. I walked to the gate once Kevon got his McDonald's he ate it as he watched YouTube on his phone, kicking his legs. "is it good?" I smiled, "Yeah, it's bussin." He smiled, "Thats good, once I get you registered for basketball you won't be able to eat like that." I explained, "Why?" He asked me, "Because it's not good for your strength and you want to be strong right?" I smiled, "Yeah, but I'm still finishing my food." He smiled, going back to eating.

"Hope our son turns out like him," I smiled, "me too," thats when I blanked out. I had a flashback to when dad said. "I'm make sure you have a baby and you'll have to take care of it for the rest of your life or you'll die," I snapped back quickly to her tapping me, we boarded the airplane, lil bro begged for the window seat. He sat down putting his headphones on a few minutes later in the sky his ears started popping, "ouchie, my ears what the hell why they hurt so bad?" He asked me, "they popping, just breathe." I said grabbing his dreads, "but they hurt so bad," he started tearing up, "Its okay, pray and ask God to be with you," I smiled, lil bro started feeling better. He fell asleep drooling on my sleeve.

At Atlanta airport, we got our luggage and found our new car. A 2023 G Wagon, as we got inside driving away. "Damn this car nice how could you afford something like this?" Tatiana asked, "I work hard," "What typa job you worked at?" She asked, "Uh a business owner," lying I couldn't tell her I stole from Ace, all this shit was only possible because I stole a large sum of money from Ace, all I had to do was cover it up get a job and a career and make triple the amount of money I did with ace. So it wouldn't be suspicious but everything in the passed shall come to light, so I know one day karma will bite me in the ass so hard I probably will regret the shit I did.

Lil bro looked around, we drove to an apartment in the hood the movers where there they just got done moving all the furniture inside and now are leaving with the check I hid inside or the doormat. They waved before jumping in the U-Haul to return it back to New York. I pulled the car into the driveway, other cars were parked in the back as I used the key to the back door. I had to use all my strength to push the door open, it led to a hallway with 2 doors and some stairs, "that must be the basement laundry room," I pointed to the stairs that led to the basement, "Yeah," Tatiana said recording for instagram holding her phone as lil bro walked upstairs in front of her, "they said we live on the 3rd floor." While walking up the steps, the smoke alarm beeped in the hallway. "Damn, at least I would have thought they would have changed that shit." I chuckled shaking my head,

We seen our apartment door on the left, cracked opened left by the movers. I pushed opened the door boxes were sat down and our couch wrapped in plastic wrap from the movers. "Wow!" Lil bro ran into the big open space where the kitchen x living room was. "Kevon this is your room," I smiled showing him a room his boxes on the floor, and right next to his was me and Tatiana room. "Bae we're gonna be having some time in this room," I smiled nudging her as she pushed me, "Boy- Ow, damn your ass not gonna keep hitting me like ima sucker," I said rolling my eyes, "Okay? Whatcha gonna do about it?" She said putting her fists up as if she would punch me, "Ah ay chill, you pregnant with our son remember?" Backing up

"You lucky I'm pregnant with your son, i would have." Smacking me across the face hard, it took us 3 hours to get almost unpacked, lil bro room was completely unpacked. He laid on-top of his bed wearing a plain white tee, some shorts and some white Nike socks. He was on his phone using his data since the internet wasn't on yet, "this room Tuff," he smiled at me, "I'm glad you like it, ima go see what Tatiana wants to eat and ima order it." I explained, "Okay can we order pizza?" He smiled, "Sure," I smiled, "Okay!" He got up looking out the window into the backyard where the cars were parked at he seen two kids shooting basketball in the driveway, he slipped on his crocs and asked me if he could go. I of course said yes as he opened the back door and walked down the steps,

I walked back into the room, Tatiana stomach was now started to get bigger by the day since our son was growing. "Bae Kevon said he wants pizza do you mind if I just order pizza?" I asked my shirt was off as she stared at it, "Earth to Tatiana," I smiled rubbing her leg, "Yeah yeah, pizza is cool!" She smiled, "I know your ass didnt daydreaming about my muscles," I laughed, "Yeah they just sooooo- ima go and check up on my lil brother you keep doing you!" I smiled. I walked down the steps the back door was opened, it was being held by a brick as a dude stood there he had dreads hitting a blunt. "Yo my name ace, whats yours?" He asked me, "It's Kevonte, but they call me Vonte," I smiled, "Thats your lil brother?" He pointed to Kevon shooting a layup.

This is what he wore when I saw him, "Yeah thats him," I said smiling, "Oh yeah? Them my two lil brothers, Jesiah Whos 10 and Jelani Whos 8," they wore crocs, tee shirts and shorts. "We don't live here my mom does but she does drugs and stays indoors all day," he explained, "Oh alright, yeah we moved from the bronx too many issues back home." We both smoked now.

"Yeah I guess we both have problems right?" He laughed, "Yeah," I smiled.
