"Dear Sister, how have things been going for you at home? I am sad to say that one of my friends has died. The poor kid was 18. He never had the chance at life, this war is unfair JJ. I wish I could be at home with you mama but I am the man of the family so It has to be this way. I hope you and mother are not killing each other, ma loves you she just harder to you because you have big dreams. I want you to keep big dreams sister for me, I hope that someday we both can go to college and have things that daddy would have wanted us to have. Well I must go, for now, I will write you as soon as I can"

Love You

Robert

I miss him. I sat by the pool and my daddy came to my mind. My father passed on when I was 5 years old. He loved me, I was his babygirl and then one-night daddy went to sleep and he never woke up and that broke mama, she always put that in me and Roberts faces that she was left with two kids to feed. I could feel the tears filling my eyes.

I don't cry, mama would slap me for that. I put Robert's letter down and looked at the sky. "You should be getting ready the game it's at 6 baby doll" Angelo his voice makes me smile. He takes off his shoes and he rolls up his jeans and he puts his feet in the water. I was that kind of day that was hot but it was still windy out. "I'm taking you to dinner after the game tonight," he said I gave him a crazy,

"You know that we can't keep doing this right? People see the way we acted and they talk, I'm black..." I say as look at the ground. "Do I look like I care? No, I don't give a shit. When I want something I get it" He was right he always got what he wanted and that scared me, he could get us killed.

He takes me by the fingers and we locked hands. "I don't want to love you, you're going get a wife soon and I maybe I'll get a husband but you this won't end well," I said covering my face with my free hand. "Don't worry Pudding, things will work out for the best in the end, now back to our date" I just smiled at him. "My mom found this dress you could be tonight. I think you'll be the talk of the night" I was not fat but let me tell you something I had hips for day's baby. "I'll go get myself ready then" I was about to sit up when he just kiss me. "Sunshine that one for telling me that you can't love me"

_______________

I walked into the house feeling all dizzy in the head, oh dear I'm so in love and it's not even funny as I made my way up the stairs to the guest room I stay in most night. As I get in my room, I can't help but think of I never really get to call Angelo mine. "Try this dress on JJ" Mrs. M had red and white polka dots dress it was breath taking. "Let's see you, love. I took off my dress and I slipped on the dress and Mrs. M help with the rest. "I got some red heels that go with that dress" she walked out the room and went into the bathroom to get a good look at myself. Wow, I look and feel pretty for once.
