       Interlude:Streets

     "You really wanna' go through with this Jojo?" I asked my brother while look out of the window of his Bentley , staring at the cop cars parked around the police station.

"Jor i rather turn myself in instead of these pigs raiding my traps , my crew and y'all. Once they get me... then the streets gonna' be sleep" he assured me as i sighed getting out the car.

"I love you Jojo" i said hugging him as he kissed me on my forehead.

"I love you too lil sus' , tell ma and Jen i love them and tell mom i got cash to keep her covered for a good 10 years" he informed me as i shook my head.

"Jo I'm not telling ma about that money " I told him as he looked at me crazy "she'll go back to doing drugs Jo, unless she really need it, I'll tell her"

He sighed "Alright Jorja" he agreed as he pulled me into a hug before pulling away.

"You can keep the car and whenever I get out yo ass betta' be doing something great" he said as shook my head before getting into the

The  sky darken above the narrow parallel rode which was up ahead.
My hands clenched the steering
wheel , as my thoughts ran wild.
For some  reason this ride home
Felt like minutes instead of hours.
Maybe because nothing but fear
was lingering through my mind.
I feared my mother dearly ,
i feared  the simple facts of
What she'll say about me allowing my brother to check himself into prison and that he might serve years and i didn't stop him .

Home.

I knocked on the door twice before the door sung open, allowing me to meet faces with my mother who had grew more greys since the last time i seen her, and her eyes were no longer vibrant hazel yet they were cloudy and dull looking and her lips were so cracked and just from the look of her
I knew she was back using drugs and stressing just like when we were kids.

"Don't just stare at me girl, come on in" she said as she widen the door letting me in this bitter sweet house that seem to never be a home.

I sighed loudly as my body stiffly sat up " Jojo turned himself in today and he might be in for some years" i informed her as she laughed. I looked at her confused , trying to figure out what exactly was funny.

"I will never understand Jr" she sighed loudly "Now i gotta get another job,damn" she complained

A part of me wanted to cuss her out because it seemed she only loved Jojo for his dirty drug money. "Well he put half of his money in your bank account , so you can be covered until he get out" i informed her as a smile spread on her face ear to ear.

"Well he said he'll be calling you later" i informed her as i stood up grabbing my keys.

"Bye " she carelessly said as she sat on the couch fantasying about the money she has now.

Our relationship didn't exist,
my mother was a total stranger to me
, since i was the youngest child my brother and aunt raised me while my mother ran the streets
and my Eldest sister Jen chased after boys.
My mother  would show up in and out my life and steal from us just to buy more drugs meanwhile my father was no where to be found.
I knew his name was Joe and that i couldn't pick his face out of a crowd.

I took after my mom in looks before her drug use. From the thickness of my lips to the thickness of my thighs, i was her split image. My light complexion skin came from my fathers side, while my sister took after our moms rich and smooth brown complexion.

Born and raised through out the streets of Chicago by our Aunt and Grandmother though things are tough we maintained happiness and growth .
