Shattered ( A Hood Love Story)

Not Again

DaeShaun-

I'm 16 and the hood was, is and always will be my life, no matter what. Even though my mama moved us out the hood don't mean shit. My parents divorced and my daddy involved in all this shit but he still try to take care of me. I got 2 older brothers and a lil sister, that I love with all my heart. That lil girl my life, and I hope she ion turn out like me. I'm one hunned percent nigga. That's all I got to say.

"I'M TIRED OF YO FUCKING ATTITUDE! GET THE FUCK OUT MY HOUSE!"

I sat on the sofa, watching my mama push my older brother out. I wanted to cry so bad, but I ain't bout that shit. My brother practically fucking raised me.

"Ma, c'mon. He ain't got nowhere else to go." My other brother pleaded. I hugged my lil sister to my chest while she cried.

"HE SHOULDA THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE HE CAME IN MY HOUSE HIGH!" She yelled, flinging her arms everywhere. I just sat there and watched. I stood up, bringing my sister up with me. I walked up the stairs and into my sisters room.

"C'mon Khaliffa. Do ya wanna go by Big Momma house?" I asked her, bendin down to her level and wipin the tears from her gray eyes. She nodded quickly and I went to her dresser and pulled out some nightclothes (aka, thats pajamas, i jsst dont call em that) to wear.

"Can I get the Cinderella ones," she asked looking down at her feet. Aw, she so cute.

"Yeah. C'mere, whatchu want wear tomorrow ?" I asked opening the closet and puttin her nightclothes in a duffel bag. I turned around and saw her holding a long dress with jeans and colorful polka dot high socks.

"Ahaa, lemme try. Go get out ya hair stuff so I could do your hair for tomorrow." I said ruffling her hair.

"Okay!" She screamed and ran to the bathroom across the hall. I walked over to her closet and picked out a purple tutu skirt with a white Hello Kitty tshirt and a purple jacket. I took out her purple converse.

"I gots the hair stuff." she said placing it on the bed. I sat her in a chair and put her long curly brown hair in three pony tails. Two in the front and one in the back. I pulled out three purple zebra print bows and put them in her bag.

"Tell Big Mama to put ya bows in , in the mornin," I said while tyin her hair up. I went to my room and packed my clothes then brought Khaliffa and our stuff downstairs.

"Ma, we gon' stay somewhere else until school start on Monday. Let you cool off a lil. Ima drop Effie off by Big Mama and Ima go by one a my niggas." I told her. She sat on the sofa and just nodded her head.

"Wee! Come on, you driving us!" I yelled upstairs. He came downstairs lookin tired and stressed.

"Khaled, keep my babies safe," she said.

"I gotchu ma," he said walking out and to the car. I sat Khaliffa in the back and strapped her in. I walked to the front and put on my seat belt. We pulled off dropping Effie off first.

"Where to?" Wee asked.

"Chaz's" I said. Chaz is my bestfriend. He always will be there for me, no matter what. We drove off and in a few minutes, we was in our old neighborhood. They had loud music playing by the projects and buku people in the streets. We pulled to Chaz's house. I stepped out and grabbed my stuff.

"Thanks Wee," I said, closing the car door. I walked up his porch and knocked on the door. He came and opened it.

"Dae? Whatchu doin here this late?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
