Zion

I rung the doorbell for the fifth time waiting for a response. I could've sworn I got the right address. I looked around the neighborhood and sighed.

It was loud, music blasting everywhere, ambulance sirens every three minutes and I could've sworn I heard a gun shot a block away.

I heard the door finally open making me look up. I saw a black lady with a baby in her arms, she wore a huge shirt and he braids were up in a bun.

"Can I help you?" She asked. I nodded. "Yea I'm looking for Jason Dubois-" "Woah nobody calls him that, you a fed?" She asked. I frowned and shook my head. "No-"

"CPD? Cause he ain't here." She said. I raised a brow. "No I'm supposedly his brother." I said. Her eyes widened. She looked me up and down then at my hair.

"Yea you kinda look like him, but he was in the system his whole life. So where were you?" She asked. I licked my lips. "I just found out I had another brother..I just wanna meet and talk to him."

I said. She nodded slowly looking at me up and down. "Okay, he's in the back." She said. I nodded. "Thanks." "No problem, oh and don't get on Jay's bad side." She said. I frowned.

"What was that supposed to mean?" I asked. "Don't say I didn't warn you." She said. She closed the door and I sighed.

"What the hell did I get myself into?" I walked down the steps and walked around the house. I heard laughter, and I smelled weed.

As soon as I walked back there all eyes were on me. "Who the fuck are you?" Someone asked. "Yea I'm looking for Jay." I said. Everyone turnt to the quiet light skinned dude.

He stood up and took a drag from his blunt before walking towards me. "Do I know you?" He asked. I shook my head. "Nah, but I was hoping we could talk..privately." I said. He raised a brow.

"Whatever you wanna talk about we can talk infront of my boys." He said. I nodded. "Okay fine..Your my brother." I said. He frowned. "Nigga what?" Someone asked.

"What you mean your my brother?" "Exactly what I said.. My Mama gave you up for adoption when she was fifteen." I said. "Can we kill him?" I heard someone ask.

I frowned. "Nah were not killing anyone.. who let you in? Kira?" He asked. "If that was her name yes." He sighed. "Come with me." He said. He walked away and I followed him.

He sat on the porch and I sat beside him. He blew smoke out his name eyeing me. "You smoke?" He asked. I nodded and took the blunt from his finger tips.

"So how you find me?" He asked. I blew smoke out my mouth and sighed. "My Mama told me, I took it apon myself to find you." He nodded slowly.

"So she just now told you about me?" I nodded. He scoffed. "Wow." "I know how it sounds but she regrets letting you go."

"Bullshit, the couple that adopted me ended up treating me like shit...Dude was beating my ass everyday and my mother was on drugs." I was silent.

"And how you dressed you got it all figured out huh?" He asked with a smirk on his face. I shook my head. "Nah I don't." "But you got money right?" He asked. I nodded. "Yea."

"Exactly, those people eventually got caught and the state put me in the system.. you know what happened after that?" He asked. I was silent.

"I was on my own, completely didn't nobody give a fuck about Jason..Nobody but the streets, I been in and out of jail more times than I can count and then they finally put me in prison.

10 years my dude, my son barely remembers me." He said. I nodded slowly. "I get it." "No you don't, you have a family..People that loves you.

All I got is my kids and my girl, those niggas you saw back there? They don't give a fuck about me, they dont love me either but they fear me. I'd rather have a nigga fear me then love me though." He said.

I nodded. "I have a son too, and a girl." He nodded. "That's wassup, how old is he?" He asked. "Just turnt three." I said. He nodded. "So why are you really here?" He asked me.

I sighed. "I wanted you to meet the woman that gave birth to you." He scoffed. "Hell no." "Just Listen-" "No! And I mean that shit. She just gave y'all the perfect life  and left my ass to suffer."

"She didn't know what would happen!" He just shook his head. "And our life wasn't great either, money don't got shit to do with it." He was silent.

"She got cancer man, ion think she's gonna make it. She didn't ask me to come find you I did on my own." I said.

He looked down at his feet.

"Just say you'll come with me and I'll drop you off here tonight." I said. He nodded slowly. "Fine..I'll go." I nodded. "Thank you."

"You never been up here before?" I asked. Jay shrugged looking up at the huge buildings. "Barely." I opened my mouth to speak when my phone started to ring, then my car blew up too.

I looked down and sighed when I saw Anastasia calling me. "That's your girl?" Jay asked. I nodded my head. "Yea she's gonna kill me." I mumbled.

I pressed the green button on the touch screen answering the phone. "Hey baby." I said. "Don't hey baby me nigga, where are you?" She asked. I looked over at Jay who was laughing.

"Are you laughing at me?" Anastasia asked. "No-" "Yea right, I can't believe you-" "Nah my bad that wasn't Zion." Jay said speaking up. "Oh."

I laughed. "Well that doesn't change the fact that he didn't call me." She said. "I'm sorry." I said. "Mhm..well hurry up." "Yea I will. Love you." I said. She just hung up the phone.

Jay laughed. "How long y'all been together?" He asked. "Shit..Three years." "The same age as your son?" He asked. I nodded. "Yea..Its a long story." I mumbled.

"And how old are you?" He asked. "26." "34." I raised a brow. "Damn." He nodded. "Tell me about it."

Anastasia

"We're gonna go see Grandma okay?" I told Kelly. He nodded his head as I tied his shoes. I heard the doorbell ring and I smiled thinking it was Zion at the door.

Ever since we got back together we've been better, no arguing, nothing. Just perfect. I stood up from the couch and walked to the door and opened it. "Hey." Khalil said.
