"Ima hit you back in a minute, I don't play tag bitch I been it"-Lizzo

Andre "Dream" Major
January 9th 8:00 a.m.

I was in shock as I sat in the waiting room of the hospital I had my face inside my hands hiding the tears from wife and my friends that sat around me. I texted Ace and he caught a flight that night he should be here any minute.

I felt a hand on my back and it pulled me into a hug I knew it was my brother. I wrapped my arms around him and cried into his chest.

"Its okay bro, its not your fault."Ace said and I felt his tears drop on my ear.

"It is because if I never would've walked outside that day , I never would've gotten shot at and JJ and David would still be here." I said removing myself from the hug and gabby grabbed my hand kissin it.

"Its okay baby."Gabster said and I kissed her forehead.

"Family and friends of David green ?"A tall white man said.

We all stood up and Davids wife shook hands with the doctor

"I'm his wife, is he okay?" Kelly asked

"David is fine he just has a hole in his head where the bullet went, luckily it didn't go to his brain because he would've died. He's gonna experience headaches and we're gonna keep him for a couple of weeks. After he's out he's gonna need to do a course of physical therapy and he's gonna need to learn basic things again like bathing etc." Doc said and we all sighed in relief

"Can we see him?"Trey asked and he nodded.

"Yep follow me"

We followed him to a elevator and all got on going to the third floor we then got off walked down the hallway turning a corner and going into his room. Kelly ran over to him and I heard him whimper damn man.

"Who did this?"Brandon asked and David looked at his wife..

"Da---dark" He strutted and I cursed to myself

Aria Moni Winters
May 5th 12:45 a.m.

I was finally 24 years old and 6 months pregnant whew chile life was great. I was sitting on Ace's back tracing the tattoo of my middle name it was so cute. I think he was trying to sleep but I was too happy. I never made It this far in my pregnancies.

"Antonio ? You sleep?" I asked and he huffed.

"Yes moni, I'm sleep get off my back." He said in a raspy voice and I laid next to him

"Can we go to IHOP?"I asked and he placed his hand on my stomach looking at me

"My little babies want IHOP?"Ace asked leaning over to my stomach and they both kicked hearing his voice."Okay let's go"

I smiled and ace got up going into the bathroom peeing I fixed my messy hair and put on my Chanel slides and a my Chanel sweater that sat on the chair in the corner of our bedroom he walked out the bathroom and I smelled tooth paste.

He walked into the closet then walked out with a Nike shirt on and his slides he grabbed his phone and wallet then helped me down the stairs and grabbed his car keys off the hook before we walked out the door. He locked up the house and helped me into the cherry red bmw truck.

"I loveee you"I sang and he rolled his eyes

"I love you too " He smiled starting up the car and pulling out of the gated community

Yeah we moved to A small town in Snellville, Ga. There were mad activities out here and it was beautiful me And ace had been attending parent classes. He also opened up his new magazine company and business was booming. He spent his nights at the local community club and so did I sometimes that's where we made most of our friends.

I felt more mature living here with just Ace. I always felt like a child whenever I was in new York. Ace finally pulled up to IHOP and he parked the car turning it off and getting out jogging over to me.

He helped me out and we walked into the building. Seeing only teens working and about two others who seemed to be in their early twenties.

"Just sit wherever I'll be right with you" A pettie blasian girl smiled and me and ace did as told

We sat a booth by the window and he grabbed my hand that my engagement ring was on kissin it.

We weren't getting married until the twins were one and I didn't mind waiting. My baby wasn't going anywhere.

Keiyana 'K' Chan
2:00 a.m.

I was just getting into the house after a long night at work I went into my room going into my bathroom and strippin and stepping into the shower washing the work smell off my body.

I was fresh out the shower twenty minutes later and I had on pajama bottoms and a long T-shirt I warpped my long jet black hair into a messy bun then slipped on my slides walking into my moms room but I wish I didn't.

I saw her placing a needle into her arm and then doing a line of coke I guess.

I slammed her door and ran back to my room laying on my bed crying. My moms drug habit had gotten worse ever since my dad died and I couldn't take it anymore.. I was 16 working two jobs just to support us both. But all she seemed to care about was getting high and taking money I gave her for bills to do so.

I hated my mom she was killing herself slowly.. And if she'd died I would have no one and I'd be placed in the system.

I heard footsteps and my bed sank

"Keiyana?" My moms soft voice spoke and I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want?"I asked

"I'm sorry my k huā(flower)" She said stroking my hair

"Your killing yourself māmā"I cried and she laid down placing us under the covers

I cried and she hugged me tightly kissin my head.

"Wǒ bǎozhèng, wǒ huì biàn dé gèng hǎo" (I'll get better baby, I promise.
