2: Sleeping in class

2: Murder on the river

When I arrived at the river walk  They had blocked everything off because it was an active situation
.. I looked around for rashaad desperately and  I climbed under the tape
" excuse me ! excuse me ! ma'am you cannot go down there " a police officer stood in my way to block me.
" thats my brother down there!  I need to talk to him!"
" ma'am it is still an active situation he is still armed"
" OK !  I can talk to him and tell him to put down the gun!" She thought for a minute then  led me to a police car. I put the baby inside. the lady cop promised to make sure she was straight. Then they put a bullet proof vest on me and walked me down to where rashaad was at.
The closer I got the sicker I became .. The scene was so grotesque . Tia's body was next to him and her eyes were still open just rolled to the back of her head showing nothing but white. you could see the other 4 victims. All of them went to our school.
Freddy he was a freshman , Jessica a junior, dean a junior and Deontae a senior. They usual rolled with Tia's hoe ass ... they all smoked together . There was so much blood . Deontae was the worst his head was completely blown open exposing his brains to the concrete. Birds began to fly over head .
Jesus .. I fell to my knees. Rashaad was in the middle and he looked so out of it..
" rashaaaaaad ! " I cried out. He snapped his head and stared at me with cold black eyes....
That was not my brother.  " what have you done! " I sobbed
He didn't reply He looked possessed... He picked up the gun...  the police unit behind him began to tense up.
" Diana take care of the baby " he raised the gun to his head and blew his top back.
I screamed and all the air left my chest at once.... He was gone.

There where 2 people at rashaads ceremony . Me and the baby . I had no money for the funeral so I cremated him and had his ashes put into teddy bears one for me and one for the baby .. Her name was lea by the way. But rashaad hated the name and just called her baby so I followed.

After rashaad died ... I was hated. Rumors started that I should be thrown in jail because I could possible do the same thing .. People where so cruel. I found a day care for Lea that the government would pay for and got a job.

I worked and I worked hard. I was only a freshman but I felt like a senior.

When school started up. Everyone avoided me ...they hung memorials up for all the victims... All Except rashaad. Everytime I saw their faces ... it haunted me and reminded everyone else about how much they hated me.

One day however.. Things seemed to go in my favor..
I bumped into someone and dropped all my books.
" my bad shawty you straight?" I looked up..
It was that cute boy from the grocery store!
" yeah I'm fine !" I blushed
" what's your name baby ?"
" Diana how about you? " his eyes were  Hazel!

" Don .. My name is Don"
