I was sitting on Dave's couch doing Kairi's hair for Dave's bestfriends candlelight tonight I met Kairi when we had dinner one night it was actually the same night I met Shooter it was crazy how he was just here now gone so suddenly
"I'm all finished"I said fixing her edges
"Its so pretty thank you"She said looking at herself through the camera on her iPad
"Your welcome"I said putting the things back into her hair bucket
"Ima go make a tik tok"She said running to her room
I laughed and went to put her bucket away then went to check on Dave
"I just got finished with her hair you good need anything"I asked lowly as I stood in his doorway
"Ima be good"He said with low eyes you could tell his been crying
"You mind if I take Kairi until the Candlelight she dont need to see you like this"I said
"Do yo thing"He said sparking a blunt
I went and got Kairi and packed her some clothes for later tonight - "Her hair came out so cute"Tae said
"You anit the only one who could do some hair"I said flopping on the couch
"Girl why you seem so tired"Aaliyah asked walking in the living room
"I was up all night making sure they had everything delivered to the shop"I said
"How was he when you left"Splash Dave's brother asked
"You could tell hes been crying hes not the Dave yall say he is"I said
The only reason I say that is because I've only been out here for a month and I haven't really met the Dave the know I only know what they tell me
"I'll go check on em before the candlelight we finna readout for a minute"Splash said
I nodded
"Where Kairi"Jayda asked coming from her room
"In the movie room watching Trolls or something"I said while on my phone
"Hows the shop coming along"She asked sitting next to me
"Its going alot of the equipment just arrived"I said hearing a knock at the door
"Not it"Jayda and Tae said walking out the living room
"Fuck both of yall"I yelled going to the door checking the security camera seeing Dave
I opened the door and let him in
"Could you do my braids for me"He asked looking down at me you seen all the pain in his eyes
"Yes everything upstairs"I said looking at him
He nodded and started walking up stairs I followed behind him going inside my room - I was just finishing up Dave's hair we had two hours until the Candlelight
"I'm done"I said as I finished putting coconut oil on his scalp
"Thank you''He said getting up sparking a blunt
I nodded and finished putting the stuff up
"How do you do it"He asked sitting at the bottom of my bed
"Do what exactly"I said looking at him
"You lost yo brother and grandmother the same day how you do it"He asked again
"I honestly don't know it's just something I take day by day when it comes to my granny she raised me since I was 3 and with my brother I just let him live through me"I said looking at my brothers face
I was honestly shocked he knew about my grandmother I never spoke on her much I had a picture of her in my room but nothing more
"You don't ever feel like it's the end of the world with them"He asked looking me in my eyes
"I use to but now my mindset is ima live it up for em since they not here so ima take all the risks and do things they cant do I anit saying it's all easy cause it anit till this day but its life"I said
He blew out Smoke and started looking down you could tell he felt lost and alone even with all the love around him
'You anit alone everybody around you got chu threw whatever"I said lifting up his head - It was 7 and we just arrived to Shooters candlelight people had candles and balloons
I rode with Kairi and Dave so we were waiting for everyone else to arrive
"Look at my balloons"Kairi said as Splash walked up with Aaliyah
"They damn near yo size shorty"He said sitting down the candles on the car
"Don't let em go okay"Dave said to Kairi kissing her forehead
"Ima go speak I'll be back"He said
"Me too"Splash said kissing Aaliyah forehead then walking away
"That man so hurt"I said
"I've known Dave since I was 8 I anit never seen him like this"Aaliyah said putting the balloons in the car
"Let's just hope it doesn't get no worse than this"I said as the rest of the group walked - "Shooter was my nigga since we was serving Bricks its long live him forever"Some man said then walking away from the mic
People were saying a few words before we lit candles let the balloons go
"Would've never thought it would be my niggs Shooter he lived his life like there would be no tomorrow he been my dawg since I would serve on the block we been grinding for this shit and the moment we get here some niggas wanna take his life we gone let him live through us we all got a piece of him with us some way THIS SHIT DONT END LONG LIVE SHOOTER"Dave said taking a gulp of Hennessy then letting his balloons go
We all lit our candles and let our balloons go
"Will daddy be okay"Kairi asked
"As long as he has us he'll be okay"I said letting my balloons go - "They sleep"I said to Nicki as I flipped on the couch
"Your heart so big and pure"She said smiling
"Anit no other way"I said
"Where are they"Aaliyah asked walking in from the movie room
"In my bed"I said putting my hair up
"Okayyyy miss mamas"Jayda said laughing
"We need a day with just us Ari been dealing with her shop and we been doing our thing we need a day for us"Nicki said
"Yesss this weekend"Jayda said
"Yeah there this new club opening up let's do it"Aaliyah said

"Sounds good ima go lay down its going on 5"I said then going up the stairs
