- Sydnee -

"I'll neva snitch on you daddy" I rapped as I drove my car to Nene's house.

I told her I was outside and she came outside within a minute.

"Heey cousssyyy" she said and I nodded my head.

"Hey girly!" I said then drove off to Juice crib.

"Do you know what happened with Zion nem?" she asked me and I shook my head no.

"Chile that is nunna my bidness okay?" I said and she chuckled.

-

"What's wrong with y'all?" I said walking inside the house.

Everybody looked so depressed and it concerned me.

Kia pointed towards Key's room and I raised my eyebrow then made my way to his room and seen him sitting down on the bed in the complete dark.

"Talk ta me" I said standing in between his legs as he continued to look at nothing.

"It's my brothers death day" he mumbled and I closed my eyes then sighed.

I put my forehead on his and then opened my mouth to speak.

"My brothers death day is coming up next month, you're not alone" I mumbled then he finally looked up at me.

"What happened ta him?" he mumbled and I looked down.

"He died trying to save me... and I tell god everyday that it should've been me" I said then wiped my eyes before my tears fell.

"Don't say that shit Sydnee, but yeen really telling me everything" he said and I shrugged.

"A racist white cop killed my brother in front of me at the age of 14. I got this tattoo when I turned 17 right here" I paused lifting up my shirt revealing his name and his death date.

"Symere was my best friend, when he died I lost myself. I'd replay how I ran to him and covered myself in his blood just by hugging him every.. single night" I said then my lip began to tremble and Key wrapped his arms around me and hugged me, and never let go.

"What about you though?" I asked him and he sighed then ran his tongue over his teeth.

"Drive by... wasn't shit I could do, it's my fault anyway" he said shrugging his shoulders.

"Hey... nothing is your fault okay?" I said then picked his chin up.

I pecked his lips then gave him a smile.

"I guess Syd" he mumbled and I wrapped my arms around his neck and played in his hair with my free hand.

"We all lose people it's life, but don't let that bring you down as a person" I said still comforting him.

"Sydnee ion wanna hear that soft ass shit bruh" he said and I closed my eyes and shook my head.

"Did you eat?" I mumbled and he shook his head no.
