"Can A ❤ still break once it stops beating?"

S A T O M I


The first thing you were taught as a kid was not to trust anyone. Well, that was what I was taught.
I grew up in a bad neighborhood on the southside of Chicago.

You weren't supposed to trust anyone anyway... it was too many kids getting shot or killed out here.

My Mama barely let me go outside because of the crime.

I didn't think it was a big deal because, well, I'm a teenager and just wanted to live my entire highschool experience.

I should've listened to my mother.

A week before I was murdered I just started school. It was my junior year of highschool and my birthday was coming up in December.

I was so excited. "Uh, what are you wearing?" My Daddy asked me.

He worked as a mechanic. He didn't make alot of money but it was enough. I looked down at what I was wearing.

"What's wrong with it?" I asked. "Well, you look like a hoe." I frowned.

No, my father wasn't the one that murdered me. He was just outspoken.. he didn't care about what came out of his mouth.

My parents are still young. My mother had me when she was fifteen so that makes her thirty-one now and so is my father.

After I was born they got married and started a family. It was me, my little sister Simone and twin brothers Kaiden and Jailen who are only five years old.

Simone is a freshman now and really into sports.

"Trey leave her alone." My Mother, Latasha said. My Daddy smacked his lips. "I'm not letting her go to school dressed like this Tasha.. you got me fucked up."

Daddy said with a stern look on his face. Mama sighed looking down at my outfit. "Mimi just go change." She said.

I groaned and made my way upstairs. All I had on was some cut up jeans and a crop top.

I barely own any t-shirts. I took one of Simone's shirts out of her dresser and slid it on. I made my way downstairs and held my hands up.

"Happy?" I asked. Simone looked at me and frowned. "No, that's my favorite shirt." She said.

"Well let your sister wear it." Mama said. I smiled and Simone rolled her eyes hard.

"I-I don't wanna go to
s-school." Kaiden said. He always had a studdering problem... it got worse after I died.

"You have to, it's y'all first day and you don't wanna go?" Mama asked placing her hand on her hip.

"No." Jailen said. We all laughed. "Too bad, I'm glad I finally have the house to myself." Mama said.

She was a housewife now she was ready to get her old job back at the salon down the street.

After we all ate breakfast we walked to school. Simone and I dropped the twins off then walked to our highschool Lindblom.

"I can't wait Mimi, this is my first year of highschool." Simone said. I smiled. "Yea."

"Did you like your freshman year?" Simone asked. "No." I said honestly. I hated school. It didn't matter if I had straight A's.. I hated it.
