"Why'd you have to leave in July ? On a peaceful and serene summer night."

July 4th, 2004

"Cy come pop these firecrackers wimme !" 8 year old Shad yelled over to his 7 year old cousin Cyan

Her name is pronounced Sye-in. Say it all together, Cyan. Got it ? Okay, great job.

"Daddy can I go play with Shad and pop some firecrackers ?" She ran over to her father jumping up and down with excitement

"Gon' head and don't do nothing to that lady across that street." He eyed her

"I ain't even run over her dog though." Cyan scrunched up her face lying straight through her teeth

She couldn't stand her elderly neighbor Mrs. Washington. She always complained whenever her and her cousins were outside playing with each other. Mrs. Washington let her dog out one peaceful  afternoon and Cyan took it as a great opportunity to get her revenge.

"Stop lying trouble." Brian shook his head at his daughter

She let out a laugh as he let one out hisself. He knew it was his daughter who ran over the poor chihuahua, her nickname wasn't Trouble for no reason.

"Her lil bad ass." His brother Kane shook his head at his neice

Everyone in the small neighborhood in North Carolina knew about Trouble and all the chaos she caused. Most of the problems weren't her fault, but she played a part in it.

"I'm going to pop some firecrackers !" Trouble yelled out as she ran to her cousin Shad

"What took yo so long ? I should've lit them without you." He mugged her

"Shut up bitch." She snapped

"Ooooh, I'ma tell yo mama !" Her other cousin Rayven ooh'd

"Snitches get stitches and end up in ditches." Trouble eyed her "Now let's pop these firecrackers."

Trouble grabbed one and one of her elder cousins lit the firecrackers for her and her younger cousins. They watched in awe as the sky filled with different colors.

Further down the street, Brian and his brother Kane watched the street noticing a vehicle stopped driving and shut off its light.

"Who that ?" Kane asked

"Ion know." Brian flicked his ashes from his blunt to the ground

"Brian !"

Brian whipped his head to see his wife and mother of his two kids storming over to him. He sucked his teeth and looked away from the unmarked car for a quick second.

"What Trouble do now ?" He asked having an idea it was his daughter who caused her mother to have a scowl on her face

"She over there cursing like a damn sailor, I know she got it from you and ya damn brother." Farrah placed her hands on her hip

"Ion curse around my niece." Kane waved her off still watching the car

"Ya lying, Shad got a foul ass mouth just like ya." She eyed him

"It's 4th of July Farrah, let her live." Brian told his wife

"No wonder she acts like this, you don't discipline her."
