"Carpe diem"

J E S S E   W I L L I A M S

I sat in the tattoo chair as my fadda's tattoo artist Richardo did me a tattoo. This would b my 6th. I still remember when my madda figured out about my first. I was 13 and had let my friend do it since we were both bored but that backfired when I forgot i had it and we went swimming. I dont think i saw her angrier well when Ji and  Kase had broke a TV and she beat both of them then Auntie Shai did aswell.

I was getting Carpe Diem on my  arm as a reminder to live my life to the fullest. I hated when people got random ass shit with no story because they ended up regretting the shit i wouldnt though. So far i had a star  on my back as a tribute to my parents who both had a star for me. A kiss mark tattoo on my neck from when I lost my virginity a Tupac quote to remind em to keep my head up Aria's name and Anari's name.

After he was done i looked at it and nodded and paid him. I guess ill stop by my parants house to check on them. When i got there i seen my younger siblings outside.  Aria was sitting on the porch with some gyal who's name I could never remember so she earned the name Aria's bestfriend. J and Kase were playing with Water guns Anari and Dj werent in sight. Anari was my youngest sister and was 3 years younger then J and Kase and  Dj or Dom Jr. was 2 years younger then her. Not to count my madda was pregnant again with twins.

I greeted them as i walked in and smelled food cooking and went see my madda cooking.

"Hey mama"I said hugging her. It's funny how much shorter she was then me but she was tall for a female she was.

"Hey Jesse where you coming from"

"Tattoo shop"I told her and she rolled her eyes

"What you got this time"She asked

"This"I said showing her my recent tattoo and she nodded accepting it.

"Where's fadda"I asked her

"Him and Cole went somewhere they'll be back soon are you staying for dinner'she asked and I nodded. She smiled and kissed my forehead.

I wondered where Cj and marlon were. Cj was usually here and so my cousin on uncle richmond's side Marlon. I heard a baby crying and i knew my baby Avery was here.

"That's Av"I asked and she nodded

"She' s in the living room she probably mad you pass her up"She said and i got up and went in to living room to see my baby cousin. She was 1 years old and the cutest likkle gyal. She had light brown hair with golden eyes and light skin. I picked her up and kissed her chubby cheeks. This likkle gyal was my baby and she knew it. I carried her to the kitchen.

"where Anari and Dj "I asked her

"Anari's being punished and Dj's sick"she said

"How he sick"I asked

"He has a fever"she said

"He okay though"I asked and she nodded

"Yeah he just came from the doctor."She said I nodded. I would check on him in a second. My weakness was sick kids. One time Aria had gotten really sick when we were all younger and the doctors said she would die. I dont think i seen the family so sick and sad ever. I hated seeing kids sick and when one of my cousins or sibling would say they were sick i would try and care for them to the best of my abilities.

The door opened and my fadda and uncle Cole appeared

"Dont you have a house"

"I have a dorm at college and i came visit my mama"I said to my fadda and he shook his head. I had a football scholar ship to USC so i stayed pretty close to them and would visit often. The only reason i got a dorm was because i didnt wanna be here when the babies came.
