My uncle has been screaming at me for an hour now, wanting me to get up and go buy groceries for the house. I finally decided to get up and do my hygiene. Once I had hopped out of the shower, I went into my closet to find something to wear for today. I finally went out of my room to see what he wanted.
"Yes, Uncle J."

I've been staying with my uncle every day since I was 15. My dad and he were partners in the drug game , but one night I was out with friends and came home only to be told that our house was on fire and my parents were in it. Their funeral was a closed casket. I miss them so much. I went through a huge depression and ended up eating a lot and now here I am 20 years old at 220 pounds . I'm thick don't get me wrong, but the guys would rather me have the hips without the stomach, but I'm learning to love myself.
"I need you to go down to the store for me and pick up some stuff." He handed me a list of groceries. "What's the special occasion?"
"I'm having the boys over tonight for a meeting so you will have to eat upstairs sweet pea." I rolled my eyes.
"Since when you started hosting meetings here, you usually just take them food to the trap."
"I know love but it's just the main crew today. Please just do this for me." I just shook my head and went to grab my purse. It's summer time here in Jersey, so I decided to walk. I need to lose some pounds anyway . I wish I hadn't worn shorts because I had to go to the corner store where all the drug dealers hang. I turned the corner on my block and took a deep breath as I got closer to the door of the store. I prepared myself for the torture I was getting ready to go through .
"Wassup slim fat." One guy yelled.
"Nigga you know she is fat fat ." The other one high-fived him and they both died of laughter.
"Y'all niggas dumb leave her alone damn." I looked over to see the oldest out of the crew ,Damion, he is so fine 6'2, chocolate low fade, and can make you pass out just by breathing too close to you. He was my uncle's second in command. They don't know I'm his niece though.
"Damion, shut up, you just gotta crush on her big ass literally" I think the one they called Nutty or Noody or something of that sort said. Damion just mean mugged him, but he never denied but I highly doubt he wants me. He can have any girl in Jersey. They cling to him instantly. I walked into the store and picked up all the stuff my uncle wanted me to get and the cashier told me my total was $37.68 and I was reaching for my card when a $100 bill passed my face.
"I gotcha ma." I just smiled really widely and said "Thank you Damion you didn't have to and thanks for what you did outside."
"No problem, and don't let what they said get to you ,you need me to help you get them home."
"I don't, I'm used to it and no, I'm just right around the block."
"Aite see you later." I cannot believe Damion just carried on a conversation with me
Damion
