It's been 5 days since the shooting, the funerals today. I'm driving with my mom and the grandparents. Neef in the family car. I'm still fucked up over this. Mark was a good dude, he just played ball work and went to school. He use to be so cool, him and all his friends use to stay at the party at Lincoln. He always use to be like this my sister so don't say nothing to her. Lol damn ima miss him.

We pulled up to the church and parked. We walked in and found a seat. We sat in the back and waited for them to bring the family in. The family had on A.I Sixers Jerseys and jeans. He loved Allen Iverson that was his favorite ball player of all times.

They brought the family in and I automatically started crying. I seen Neef and he was balling hard. They need two limos for all of his siblings and parents.

Once they was seated the funeral started. It was sad but beautiful his son and baby mom came. He just had a baby in February. Smh that's sad. 

After the funeral Neef came to find us and to tell us to go and get behind the family limos. I did what I was told the parents came out and got in the car. Neef walked up put the orange funeral sticker on my window. Then kissed me and went in got in the limo.

We followed the cars out to the cemetery I got out our parents stayed in the car. I walked over to Neef and put my hand into his. He wrapped his arms around me & I did the same. He kissed me with sad teary eyes.

It's gonna be ok baby! I told him

Yeah I know! He said

They said the prayer, we put the flowers on his casket they lowered him into the grave. Everybody went crazy. They had to hold his mom down she was trying to jump in.  Neef has to turn his back so I held him tight as he cried.

Once the burial was finished we headed back to the hall they had Nas party at for the repast. When I tell you this repast was so lit. They had liquor, food, music it was a party. They really celebrated his life. Everybody was drunk as fuck. Ppl was laughing some was crying. Others was laughing and crying. It was fun but sad.

Mrs. Kim got on the Mic to thank everybody for coming. My boy was loved that's why they was hating. My boy gone y'all she cried. Kiesha walked up to hug her. But he was loved though. He have some many brothers and sisters, cousin aunties uncles, friends. Ima miss my sweet baby. He was my most loving kid. He use to stay underneath me. I couldn't go any where without him tagging along. He was so given and strong. We was blessed to even had a chance to know and be loved by him. Ima miss him so much. She cried, But he left me a part of him. She said smiling at lil Mark. We love you Marcus Tevin James Carter.

When she said that everybody said we love you Mark! They turned the music back up and we really partied. They played some slow jams me and Neef slow danced. He was so drunk lol he was doing anything lol. I was just happy to see him smiling again! He's been really taking it hard. He barely sleeps anymore. Nas too he has been stay with us. Neef wanna keep him out the way. They just smoke and drink all day. The mood is so sad at home. I'm just happy that they are enjoying their self tonight.

10:30pm hit quick everybody was packaging up and heading out. Neef rode back in the limo I drive the grands home first then I took my mom home. I waited for Neef to call me before I left to go home. It's 1am now I've been waiting for hours. I decided to go up to bed. I showered and got into bed. I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. Soon as I hit the bed I was out.

3:30am i woke up to my phone going off.

Hello! I said
