"What the hell am I supposed to do with half of my money?!" The same guy sat in the chair as last time.

"Ju-just take it. Kill me. I don't care." He cried.
"I need my money nigga!" I hit him with butt of the gun and blood came from his nose and mouth.
"I don't have it!" He yelled very frustratedly, spitting blood at me in the process.

"Nasty son of a bitch." I looked down at my shirt that had specks of blood on in. He smirked as he looked me up and down, sucking up the blood.
"Fuck you." I sent a bullet between his eyes.
"Get his ass out of here." About 3 men went to do their job as I went to change my shirt.
"Ohh la la." One of the workers walked in as I tossed it into the trash.
"Really Trent?"
"Yea, but you know that I'm having a party tonight. You comin'?"
"You know I ont participate in shit like that."
"Come on. When the last time you been out? You got any friends Na?"
"Mind your business."
"Whatever. You coming to the party."
"Nah."
"Yes. You been distant with all of us. We used to be all laughing and shit. Now its just business."
"Trent, I've been busy."
"Allot shit can wait. You coming. Be there tonight at 10 or I'm coming to drag yo ass."
"Whatever."
"Fuck around and don't be there. See what happens." I shook my head and cracked a smile as he left out. I got in the car and went to the nearby Wal-Mart. We were having a back to school give away where we give back to the community by giving the is school supplies. I got to the register with the $600 worth of supplies.
"Need some help?" A caramel skinned guy asked while licking his lips.
"Sure." I dryly spoke, hoping he got the message.
"Thanks."
"No problem." He smiled before taking the basket inside. I got in the car and drove to the trap.
"Damn." Randle looked at my trunk full of school supplies.
"Gotta love the little brats." I fake smiled as I helped carry them in. After everything was neatly stacked in the garage, I got ready to go home.

"See you at the party." Trent smirked before closing my door. I flipped him this bird as I backed out and he stood there mouthing when as I closed it. I checked the mail as there was nothing, but trash, before getting the package that was outside.
I cut threw the tape and read the note on top.

I know that Ra'Yanah (Ray-Auhn-A, her mother) may not have informed you but it's time you know. As your aunt, I know that the parents and siblings you know seem as if their on a path to death, but truth is, your not related to them. If you'd like to know more, just call me. Hopefully the pictures you have here, help you to understand. You are a smart girl. Love, Aunt Le'Giana.

I furrowed my eyebrows as my brain processed the information and my hands pulled out the pictures. There we childhood pictures were I sat us with my aunt. A couple of pictures later there were pictures of me in a hospital with bandage wrapped around my head with tubes down my throat. I could see my mother in the background crying with my aunt. I took out my phone and searched for my aunt's number.
"Hello?"
"What the hell is this shit?" I threw the pictures back in the box.
"You should know the truth. She took you from me." Her voice started to crack. I hung up and got into my car, taking the hour drive to my mother's house.
