"Hi sicky" my sister Imani ran up to me and have me a hug.

"Hi Imani, where's jelani?"

"he in the back" We all walked in the back.

"What the hell is your problem."  Akeelah yelled. We were all still in our pajamas looking like fools. I had a head wrap on. Anyways Jelani looked at us.

"Bruh what the fuck is your problem." He said looking high as hell. He was drunk and high you can tell. He had a blunt in his mouth with some vodka by him. His head had blood on it and His eyes were blood shot red. That wasn't jelani. That was my brother. Jaheem.

"That ain't jelani" mya said. Akeelah looked at us.

"imma be in the house." Akeelah said. mya followed her.

"Jaheem you ok?" I said sitting next to him.

"Who ttttttttttttthhhhhhhhhhheeeeee f-f-fuck are you?"  His words were slurring hella bad.

"Where is auntie jewels? Where is jelani?" 

"Si slont SO si slink slat sley swent."

"Come on we need to get you clean." I pushed him in the house.

"Imani Come here! How the h- Scuse me How did Jaheem get in here?" I know darn well my auntie don't like Jaheem.

"He's my brother I have to let him in he needed help." She yelled. " I pushed him the bathroom and got a rag and put hot water on it.  I put it on his forehead.

"Ayyyyy lililil sisisis clllllllaaaaannnn yyoooouuu geeett meee-"

"Shut up" I walked out the bathroom to see Aunt Jewels smoking a cigarette.

"Who the fuck is in the bathroom." She yelled.

"uhhh" she slapped me so hard I fell down.

"you betta not be fucking no dude in my bathroom. Y'all light girls think y'all so cute.YOUR A HOE!" she walked in the bathroom and threw my brother out.

"He's sick aunty." My brother layed right next to me. My aunt punched me so hard that my arm felt broken.

"how dare you sleep with your own brother." Jelani came running towards us with mya and Akeelah behind.

" Jewels stop." Jelani pulled her off. Auntie Jewels is my mom's twin. there both crazy. That's why jelani doesn't live with her. he lives in his own house. I started spitting out blood. Shay and lala came running towards me.

"Akeelah called us. you ok?" Shay said. Auntie jewels punched shay in her stomach so hard that she started vomiting blood.

"Ma why did you do that? Every body get out. hurry up! Get Jaheem out too. Shay u ok?" Jelani said. Akeelah,mya,Imani,and Princess just picked up Jaheem and headed outside. I was up but shay wasn't.

"SHAY!" Jelani yelled.

"Is that one of yo hoes." Auntie jewels said. Lightning her cigarette again. Jelani ignored her and picked shay up bride style. I followed them out the house.

"Come on let's get in this car." Jelani said putting shay in the front seat.

"Give me my DAMN car." aunty jewels yelled. We all jumped in and sped off to my house. When we walked in Genesis looked at us like we were crazy.

"Haha sicky got a bruise on her face" khari said. I ignored him. Genesis looked at shay than me than finally my brother.

"what the hell happened." She screamed. "you know what tell me later" She ran to Jaheem first and dragged him to the couch. Put some alcohol on his head and wiped the blood off. She put bandages on it. " ok he'll be ok for now. Bring shay?" Jelani walked into my room and placed her on my bed.

"Shay?" Jelani said. She was awake but it was like she couldn't talk or open her eyes.

"Where she get hurt at?" Genesis asked.

"Her stomach" Princess said. Genesis pulled her shirt off  and observed her stomach. Jelani wasn't even looking at her full  size breasts he look hurt.

"Her stomach is ok. No horrible bruises but somebody punched the life out her meaning that she'll be ok but you got to give her time." I really think genesis should be a doctor. I walked in the restroom and covered my bruises with makeup.

"Why did you come to the house?" Jelani asked.

"To confront you."

"Its all my fault.....if I didn't hurt her feelings none of this would of happened." I was bout to say 'it's not your fault' but if you thought about it....it really Is his fault. So I just gave my cousin a hug.

"Alright I got to go." he said. Walking away.

"Wait do you love shay.....?" He just looked at me and continued walking out the door. I went in the living room with the girls.

"Thank you for your help" I announced. The girls all said your welcome and left. So the only people here now were shay, Jaheem,khari,Imani,genesis,and I.

"Now what the hell happened?" Genesis asked. I told her everything starting at the time when we snuck out. "Well dammnn."

"mommy can I get Apple juice." khari cried.

"Yeah" She walked in the kitchen. All of sudden Shay walked out like nothing happened.

"Yo aunt is Crazy!" She said while putting on her shirt. "Where's everybody."

"they left."

"ight I'm bout to go. peace tell yo sis thnxxx."

"ok bye hope u feel better." She walked out of the room. Khari started holding his private part.

"This is how Michael Jackson be holding his pepe" I started laughing at him tryna dance.

"here's your Apple juice." Genesis said giving khari his apple juice.

"So what we gon do bout Jaheem." I said.

"Let him sleep and make sure he ain't on the streets."

"ok"
