Today you would tell me how beautiful I looked fighting for what I believe, what we believe in, and that's justice for us! You would tell me how popin my curls are and how I need to smile be happy.

Today that's what I'm going to do... I'm going to fight for you... us with the biggest smile on my face I promise I won't stop until your death is no longer in vain.

"I will never rest until Paris gets Justice! And my brother knows how much I love to sleep." I said into the loud mic the crowed cheered

"NO JUSTICE NO PEACE, BLACK LIVES MATTER." It was music to my ears.

"No more Black people will die in vain, and No more is all Black lives
NO more black children. NO more black women NO more black me and no more discrimination and in injustice in a place you say is free!"

"NO JUSTICE NO PEACE, BLACK LIVES MATTER."

"Im Rachel Smith a lawyer for these tragic cases." The protest was over and George led the group to barbecue and refreshments in the cool airconditioning place he rented.

"Im sorry, kinda? but I don't want a white woman fighting my battles, your people have done enough!" I said teasing. Dark humar from my dark heart.

"Im biracial, " clearly."I know hard it isto tell,  but anyway iv been fighting for years after my sister was taken from me, she had the rich melanin skin like yours. always profiled  for it then like your brother they took her. I may have had an easier way of life with my privilege but I carry  the same pain.

Let me represent you ,for free and guarantee of Justice!"

"Your related to Hayden aren't you, " She had his dads eyes and Hayden told me about her sister.

"Yes, and we have lost so many loved ones to these violent criminal thugs."

"Alright, give me your card ill think about it." She handed me the card and I turned around balling it up I can help my brother on my own.

I don't know why Hayden asked her to help we have Atelia.

"611 I remember!" She yelled and my heart stopped

"How did ?"

"This isn't his first time, "

After the barbecue we started to clean up, I felt a pull on my shirt.

it was Janae.

"Trinity, " She hugged me tight. She had a pin With Paris face and her shirt said 'innocent while gay = no justice= no peace #sayhisname'

"Woah I love that shirt."

"Thanks I got you one too."

"Look Trinity I really regret I picked on you and I'm so angry they killed my future husband."
I laughed.

"You are so strong."

"No I'm not I'm just keeping it together to get Justice for my brother."

"Well I admire that because I'd be a wreck and that's why I'm going to tell you something important."

"What is it?"  She pulled me all the way to her car.

"Strap up." She said turning in her key.

"Okay." I hooked in my seat belt.

"So, the big guy in the gang was my brother."

"Pull over!"

"Wait my brother is Innocent, well not Innocent. Okay so my brothers gang works for the police sometimes to free there team, and they only moved your brothers body."

"What?"

"He said cops killed your brother in order of the chief something like that and he shot Paris."

"Did your brother have anything to do with the three boys?"

"No that's why they came to your funeral for Paris. The cops keep framing  them for the black murders and the officer who payed him to get rid Paris gave my brothers gang dirty money to catch them up, this whole time the cops has been double crossing them that's why they keep going to jail so Theyre going to help you in court if not I will."

We pulled back into the area and she looked at me. I slapped her.

"Thats for your brother and all the radge they did to our community for the triple k cops." I gave her a hug.

"Thank you Janae."
We jumped at the tap at the window.

"Im Mike."

"I know who you are."

"There is something I have to tell you,"

"I know about Hayden,"

"Okay. It's not that."
