Lyric is at work and I'm supposed to recovering from the fever I had but I just can't seem to sleep. I have so many Empty Thoughts in my head I need to go for a long walk. I grabbing a hoodie of the coat rack and grabbed my house keys. I walked along the wet side walk to the cemetery. It seems like forever since I've been here to visit Melvin but I can't bare the pain in my heart every time I come here. I sat down against the wet grass not caring about my pants at this moment.
I played with my fingers as gathered my thoughts together. This is the first time in almost a years since I've been here and now that I'm here just don't know where to start. I inhaled a deep breathe of air as I processed my final thoughts before parting my lips and speaking.
"Hey Chandler..... I know it's been forever since I've been here."
I bite the inside on my mouth and closed my eyes shut fighting back the tears that threatened to fall. I slowly opened my eyes blink a few times so that the tears could go away. I parted my lips to speak once more.
"Chandlerg\ these last few years without have been crazy. Maw- Maw isn't getting any better and I'm honestly afraid to lose her. She's all I have other than mama, Chandra, Lyric and the girls.... Chan mane' why did you have to go so soon. Chan Mane' I need you at hard times like th- "
Tears streamed down my face as I sat there in the wet grass not caring I anyone heard my loud cries. I pulled my t-shirt up to my face. Letting my tears fall. I really need this to get these tears out after all this time. Losing Chandler was hard only lord know the day that Maw-Maw Peyton dies I'm gonna be even more broken inside than I am now.
My tears continued to fall freely as the sound of Thunder roared through the afternoon sky. I closed my eyes and said a silent prayer to myself before standing up and dusting off my pants and kissing my two fingers and place them on Chandler's tombstone. I pulled the hood to my hoodie on my heat and headed back home trying not to get caught in the rain.
• • • • I unlocked the front door and stepped inside just in time. The rain started to pour down to the point here you don't hear it smack the ground. I closed the front door with my foot and kicked off my Jordan's. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a few pots and pans to cook dinner for Lyric and Myself.

I pulled into my drive way shutting off my car and grabbing my paper work and pulled my hoodie over my head. The rain is still pouring just harder than it was earlier. I opened the car for and got out shutting it with my foot and making my way towards the front door. I unlocked the door and stepped inside the house kicking off my shoes and siting my papers in the coffee table.
"Hey Ant." I said removing my hoodie and walking into the kitchen
"Wassup Baybeh, how was work." Ant said never taking his eyes off the food he is cooking
"It was boring." I stated leaning on the island admiring Ant's body
For a skinny nigga he is fine
I played with Anthony's iPod that was plugged into the radio. I scrolled through his music till I came across Sweet Lady by Tyrese. I placed the iPod back where I got it from and started looking over my paper work I brought home from work.
Half way through the song Ant started setting the island as I stacked my papers up and placed them back on the coffee table.
"Jerell what did you do today?" I asked as I got to glasses out if the dish rack
I poured both of use a glass of red wine as I waited for him to respond.
"I went to visit Chandler earlier." He said placing our pull plates into the table
"Are you alright?" I asked sitting the glasses down and over to him
"Not really." He said looking down at his feet
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a tight hug letting his tears fall into my shirt. Losing Chandler hurt him just as much as losing Roman did to me. Anthony and Chandler where like Siamese Twins. Everywhere Chandler went Ant was right beside him. I guess that's why Anthony still had a hard time dealing with Chandler's death. Because the day Chandler was killed him and Ant where supposed I handle some business together and Ant ended up staying the night here and sleeping lost of the day. Till this very day I try telling him that Chandler's death wasn't his fault .
Chandler was killed just a few months after I had lost Roman. It took me almost 2 whole years to stop beating myself up mentally and emotionally about Roman dying. I blamed myself for not trying to help he get outta the car fast end. Shit even with. Few broken ribs I still risked my own life trying to save my older brother. They got him outta that car 10 minutes after the crash. The crash along killed him when the car hit the road block the impacted the accident killed him even if he would have gotten outta the car after i tried helping he still would have died. Till this very day I still remember the last works he ever said to me.
"Lyric I love you baby sister don't ever forget that where ever you go in life I Roman Drew Robinson will forever live in you."
