Wright Choices

My Life

Nicci POV

"No Whyyyy!!! Komasi stop lying this ain't funny!!!" I cried out loud to my brothers. "Lamaj please tell me they lying..." I pleaded to my brother. He just looked down with his face in his hands sobbing quietly. This can't be happening why Lord why did you have to take my parents from me, I need them. "Its gonna be okay Nikki we got each other you hear me, we got each other." Jr. Said hugging me. We all comforted each other.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I woke up from my dream sweating up a storm. I can't believe its been 2 years since my parents passed away, I still can't believe they gone. Today is the day of their death, and we're going to their gravesite today after church. I really miss them, but to lighten things up my birthday is tomorrow.

My full name is Nicci Dashi Wright, I'm 5'6, 16 now but 17 tomorrow. I'm light skinned, with pretty long black hair, and thick. I go to Crenshaw High School faithfully because I am an A+ student on honor roll with perfect attendance. I'm funny, smart, wise, intelligent, hood, sweet, and the 3 b's & c's. Bold , Brave , & Beautiful. Courageous , Confident , & Cingle.

I live with my 5 brothers. Komasi Jeffrey Wright, Anthony Kimo Wright, Dion Oka Wright,  John Laubecki Wright, and Lamaj Tomasi Wright. We were raised by the best parents in the world, Aaradhna Wright (Samoan) & Shaun Wright (Black). We live in a 3 story house in Watts.

Its 6:50 a.m. and "we" well "I" have to get ready for church. I get up and get my hygiene products out and walk into "my" bathroom to take a shower. I take a 30 minute long shower, and get out to get ready.
I air dried while I picked out an outfit to wear and under garments. I picked out a fitted blue peplum dress, my black heels, and gold jewelry. I lotioned up with cocoa butter, I put avacado oil in my hair to give it a healthy shine, and left it curly. I put on my all black bra & panty set. I put on my dress and heels.

*Knock Knock Knock*

"Who is it?" I asked.
"John." My brother replied.
I opened the door to let him in.

He sat on the bed with his church clothes on. "You almost ready?" He asked. "Yea I just need to put on my jewelry." I replied doing just that.

"Alright I'll be downstairs, oh and Anthony new girl making breakfast." Smh. That nigga always have a different girl every week. "Okay I'll be down."
He nodded his head and walked out closing the door.

I looked in the mirror one more time before grabbing my bible, Chanel purse, and iPhone 6+.
I walked downstairs into the kitchen to be met by all 5 of my brothers dressed in church clothes. "Whaaattt y'all going to church.?" I asked shocked.

"Yea nigga u act like we dont go to church." Dion said.
"Man like we the devil himself what you so shocked for?" Lamaj asked.
"Cuhz I am don't question my judgment nigga." I retorted.

"Hi, I'm Jessica, Anthony's girlfriend."
Jessica said.
"Hi I'm Nicci, Anthony's sister, nice to meet you." She smiled and gave me my plate to eat. Which contained a vegetable omelette, bacon, cream of wheat, sausage, biscuits, & French toast. I was in heaven.

I tore it up and went on about my business, to church we go.

After Church

Church was great.
It's like the preacher was speaking directly to me.

We hopped in Komasi's black Escalade, and drove to the flower shop, then the cemetery.
When we arrived I had butterflies in my stomach. Lamaj rubbed my back and said its gonna be okay.

We walked to their tombstone and stood there staring at the tombstone where both of our parents are buried, six feet underground, there for 2 years.
After a while of thinking, my heart started to beat faster and faster. My eyes started to burn & blur, my palms started to shake while my knees began to buckle. I couldn't hold it in no more.

"MAMA, DADDY WHYYYY?? WHY DID YOU LEAVE US WHYY?? I CANT TAKE IT NO MORE I NEED YOU, I MISS YOU, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! PLEASE LORD PLEASE LET THIS BE A DREAM.......... I love you guys." I kissed the tombstone twice and laid down by their tombstone, and went to sleep.

5 hours later

I woke up in the house on my bed.
I got up and took a shower to find myself crying again. Every time this day comes around I turn into a big ass baby, but I cant help it. Its been 2 years to long since they passed away.

I get out the shower and get dressed.

*outfit in MM*

I brushed my hair into a back bun, I grabbed my all white MCM backpack placing my phone, and Chanel wallet in there, and walked downstairs to see my brothers and they little groupies. Ughhh.

"I'm about to go for a walk."
I tell my brothers.
"No you ain't." Komasi retorted.
"Why not?" I huffed.
"Because I Said You Ain't Now Go Upstairs And Do Something." He yelled.
"No Ima Go For A Walk And Do Something." I yelled back.

He gave me his evil eye, and stood up.
"Okay, then here take this." He said trying to place the gun into my hand.
"No I don't want that.", " You probably gonna need it." He replied.

"I'm not." I said he stared at me mad. "Okay if anybody trynna fuck witchu call us, okay." He demanded. I nodded my head and walked out.

I headed to the library to check out a couple of books for homework and to read.
I walked across the street to Food4Less to get my White Cran-Peach OceanSpray drink, some Pringles, and a snickers.

I paid for my snacks and walked to Ted Watkins to sit down, read, and enjoy my snacks.
But that was interrupted quickly.
"Wassup ma?" He asked.
