Chapter 12 funeral

3 days LATER AT THE FUNERAL

Lyric POV only

I walked into the church to see all these people here for my dads funeral. Half of the people here are from the gangs my dad has worked with or from our gang period. you saw My Aunt Q who moved to new york after my mother died. she blamed my dad for it when in all actually it sorta was but it also wasn't. You can't blame a girl for standing up for something she believes in.

I sat in the front with johnney to my right and the rest of the family to my left. They have to sit to my left just cause they related johnney is family. The difference? Blood makes us related experience and memories make us family.

The preacher started to preach for a hour then everybody started to come up and talk that took the longest time ever just cause of all the trails of broken hearts and memories my dad had made.johnney said a few words and da'maree said a few words to. Eventually it came to my part

"I didn't really prepare nothing to say. I wasn't really feeling this to be honest but because I'm my daddys youngest why not. He was a good guy to be a trap lord. But I'm not like the rest of y'all and about to Stand up here and tell y'all 478 different memories we had. Just 3 ...

1. When we had our parent teacher night in 3rd grade and had a talent show at the school so me and dad dressed up in big button down dress shirts with batman socks and underwear and sang in brushes instead of microphones so we both got in trouble

2. When I was learning how to ride a bike and I ran face first into the expedition and chiped my tooth

3. When he would sing daughters by nas to me.

Now those the best memories of us. I love you dad and I'll see you at home" I said walking off the podeum.

We all rised to go see the body and me Johnny and damaree were the first people to go up there...

I reached and touched his Hand just to be sure he was really dead. His Hand was cold I kissed his forehead which was also cold AF.

"He gone for real huh?"

"He not gone L he just at a greater distance " johnney said

I watched johnney and Damaree come to sit back down .

*after the funeral *

"I didn't know you had siblings" damaree said as we got in the limo.

"I don't... They just extra sperms my daddy had."

"How many?"

"Its 13 of us "

"God damn girl I know yo mom was exhausted "

"I said the same thing but its only 4 from her all the rest is from 2 other females "

"Damn did they come?"

"Yes they was sitting on the last row"

"They coming back to the bake session ?"

"Yea"

"I get to meet em?"

" you don't have a choice "

It took us 15 more minutes to finally arrive at the will reading

"Good afternoon.my name is James Richardson and you are?"

"My name is Lyric this is johnney & damaree"

"Okay sir wise said there should be 6 of you in all."

"6?"

"Yes johnney damaree lyric Pharoah king  and Adonis"
