New Orleans: City Raining {August Alsina Urban} (EDITING)

New Orleans: City Raining

| The pain is still there|

Memories are silent killers
The way they creep up unannounced
Disguising themselves as innocent
Knowing damn well
They intend to do harm
And if that's the case
Tonight, you'll be the death of me
1 a.m. Restless x R. H. Sin

Lyric Robinson

I laid in bed holding a picture of roman and me on my 5th birthday. For the past 4 years this day but gets harder and harder to deal with. I brushed my fingers across the picture I sighed heavy as I sat it back on the night stand. I pull the thick black blanket over my head.

I refuse to get out of bed let alone this room. This day never seems to get easy. I sighed heavy as I heard Anthony walk into my room. The bed sank in as Anthony sat down.

"Lyric Baybeh you gotta get out of this room." Anthony said rubbing my leg

"Anthony I just want to be alone today." I mumbled not taking the cover off my head

"Baybeh girl come on get up and get dressed where going to visit Roman put some new flowers at his grave." Anthony said lifting the cover up

I sighed heavy as I sat up and pushed the rest of the cover off my lower half. There isnt any reason and trying to protest with Anthony. I got out of bed and made my way into my walk in closet looking for something to wear. Since the weather is slightly fair today I guess I'll wear a dress.

•••••

Anthony and I walked along the side towards the cemetery. I haven't been here in like 2 years because I know if I go visit his grave all I'm going to do is cry my eyes out. I held a bouquet of white and red roses in my hand was we walked through the cemetery.

I pulled my hand from Anthony and slowly walked towards grave. I picked up the old an dead flowers and tossed them to the side and payed down the fresh new ones. I carefully sat down and closed my eyes as I gathered my thoughts together.

"Hey Rome...... I know it's been a while since I've came her to visit you but it's just really hard. I miss you like crazy big brother. Life just isn't the same without you. Everyday without you is a big struggle for me. Rome if only you knew half the shit I've had to deal with in these past few months man. I learned you can't trust family for nothin. Mommy as really the worst planet bruh she told me you have a twin brother and that I should get to know him. She basically want me to replace you which will never happen because this is only one Roman Mat Robinson. I hate mommy just as much as I hate the person the killed you."

My tears flowed down my face messin up my makeup but I could honestly careless at this moment. All the hurt and pain I've held in since my supposedly mother told me roman hand a twin and everything else was now finally coming out.

Anthony Clayton

I sat down beside Lyric and pulled her into my lap letting her cry. As much as I know she hate admitting it all the shit Kelsey told her a while back was weighting heavy on her up until this very moment. I guess we both really need to talk a therapist about all the shit going on our life's.

Who would have thought two 22 year olds from NOLA would have this much baggage and family issues at such a young age. Lyric lifted her head up off my chest and sat up completely and turned her attention back to Romans grave.

" Roman Mat Robinson happy 26th birthday big brother...... I know I don't come her often but I think I need to maybe it will help me not hold so much in... I love you Rome." Lyric said before standing up and wiping her butt off

I stood up and grabbed her hand. No words where shared as we walked back home from the cemetery. No words need to be said we both feel the same pain. We both where 18 when we lost our big brothers these streets of New Orleans. I guess what they say is true the good really does die young. Roman was only 22 when he was killed and Melvin was only 24.

I sat in the living room watching reruns of The Proud Family. Lyric walked into the living room and sat beside me and rest her head on my shoulder.

"Ant..... Thanks for taking me there today I really need it." Lyric said looking up at me

"No problem Baybeh, I'm always be there for you no matter what your my best friend and more." I said looking down at her

"I love you Anthony ...... Like seriously you've been by my side all my life but held me down since 18 and lost without my brother nobody has really cared about me like the way you do since roman died..... I'm truly thankful for you ant." Lyric said cupping my face and kissing me

This wasn't our usual lustful kiss there was something more it it a spark maybe..... More passionate than any other kiss. This kiss held so much in it. So much love, trust and forever love in it....... Something I have always felt for Lyric.

•••••••

If y'all confused about the age read carefully Lyric and Anthony where both 18 when the both lost there older brothers. Melvin was 24 and roman was 22. Roman was shot and killed in front on Lyric in there car. Lyric and Anthony are currently 22 which mean if Melvin and Roman where Alive they would be 28 and 26.

I'm currently laying in bed in the middle of a blizzard so I'm hella bored so here is an early update for y'all ❤️✨

Might update again today depending on how far my college English paper is coming along.
