I pulled up to the park derion asked me to meet him at. I borrowed kyris car I hope he won't mind. Its early anyways so he shouldn't be up right now anyways. I parked his car and got out making sure I was being careful not to scratch anything because I do not want to hear his mouth.

I walked down the path to a bench to where derion sat waiting. He had his dreads pulled back into a hair tie and his hands in the pockets of his sweat pants. I sat down on the bench not saying anything.

He looked out into the park it was fairly empty because it's like 7am. We sat there not saying anything. I decided to break the silence "I never pegged you as a morning person bro".

"I never thought we would grow so far apart, we used to be so close you know" He said while still staring out to nothing.

"I know" I looked down at my hands.

"You don't tell me anything anymore" He finally turned to look at me. "You moved out? Where do you stay now?"

"Yeah I did. That place just isn't for me derion and you know it"

He sighed and nodded. "I know but where you stay and who car you driving don't tell me it's who I think it is"

"Its kyris and i'm staying with him but it's just until I find something better" He shook his head at me. "Its not what you think, its not like that"

"Then what is it li? What am I supposed to suspect when my little sister is staying and hanging out with some thug ass nigga" He started to raise his voice.

"I'm about to be 18 in july don't play me, we are only a year apart derion and he's not that bad and let's not forget who's selling dime bags out the kitchen if he a thug so is you" I said growing defensive. I stood up off the bench. "Look I didn't come here to hear you speak to me like i'm your child"

"I know and I'm sorry sis, it's just that I'm worried about you and I know what I'm doing ain't right but he's in deeper shit, he's dangerous."

"I have to go d' I grabbed my bag and started to walk away.

"Lina" He called my name. I turned around walking backwards.

"Be safe. I don't want to bury another sibling" I nodded and turned back around not responding. I got inside of kyris car and pulled off. I get what derion is saying but he doesnt know im already dangerously involved.

I walked inside the condo I now shared with kyris. He was sitting on the couch eating a bowl of cereal.

"I have to talk to you" He said not looking up from the tv.

"If it's about the car i'm sorry I had to go see derion I won't touch it again."

"No it's fine this is about something else" He said putting his bowl down on the coffee table. I went and sat on the chair he had.

"Well what is it?"

"We have a job that I think we should take" He picked up a manila folder. "It's in detroit michigan and we have to leave today, it's about a 6-7 hour drive and about time we get there it will be night fall so go get ready wear something black and easy to move in" With that being said he got up and left out the living room leaving me no time to ask questions.

I went into my half unpacked room and went through my clothes to find something to wear. I came across some black leggings with my black hoodie and some black ankle no heel booties. I quickly slipped them on and grabbed my purse. Kyris was sitting in the living fully dressed and scrolling on his phone.
