"Damion come with me", "you're not gonna leave me here all alone, are you?", Uncle Joe said whiles crawling in his blood , reaching out towards Damion.

"Let me gooo you son of a ....", Damion making a direct demand. "Damion get up sweety it's ok, it's ok it's just a dream." Sherran said.

   ~DAMION NARRATING~

We live in a world where trust takes years to build, but seconds to break. There's moments in my life where I thought I had it all, a perfect life without a care in the world. But little did I know, it was my own guardians that held unforgivable secrets from me. Who would've known Uncle Joe was behind this the whole time. And for my mom to had done what she did, I understood that women have flaws, but I had no choice but to live with this burden for the rest of my life. As for Aliyah, we were dating for about 3 months now. In those months she taught me how to stay true to myself, loved and cared about me. I was really grateful to have someone like her in my life. It was the start off for our final semester of the year. Prom and Graduation was nearing, so we had to make the best of it!

Despite the tragic incident that occurred, the funeral was about to take place today, so Damion and the fam was getting prepared to attend. "Jonathan Kenneth Owens" also known as John or Uncle Joe, in which Damion usually called him. Everyone was ready and making way to the funeral. A good some of people showed up, but their was this one specific lady who was mourning over John's lost, that caught the attention of the family. Vanessa Jones alongside her son . Sherran wanted Damion to meet the lady and her son. She approached the lady whiles Derick and Damion followed. "Damion I would like to introduce you to someone, meet your cousin Jasper..."  ,Sherran said. Clueless as to how?, were Damion's thoughts. " This is John's Ex-wife, she lives outside of the city". Damion then remembered the car conversation he and John had on his way from school. He thought that, it was just a bad joke that John had made. But from the looks of things, guess he thought wrong.
               They gave their condolences to Vanessa and Jasper. Jasper had more of a mixed skin tone, considering the fact that his mom was African-American. John was more into dark-toned women. "Hey Jasper tell me something, what did you hear about your fathers death?" Damion asked. "They said that he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time", "But I know for a fact, whoever did this mess gonna have to pay for it, but I'm grateful to have you great people in my life right now", Jasper said. Damion hugged Jasper telling him to hang in there. They comforted both of them, letting them know, that they would be here for them, if they ever needed anything.
                   "Stay with us for the night Ms. Jones I'm sure we have enough room for two, I know it's hard for you right now", Derick said. "Nuh, It's okay we can book a hotel". She responded.
"Ms. Jones we insist...." Derick answered.
Ms. Jones figured it was okay considering it was  family. Meanwhiles, Damion said he had to go make a phone call. 20 minutes later they fowarded off to their vehicle, making way to the house.
