I stood across the street from the my apartment complex that was now in gulfed in flames, I don't understand why this happened to me. I looked around realizing none of my brothers were with me, are they still in the fire? I panicked & attempted to run into the fire I was stopped by the fire fighters. "Ari, Ari!!" How did they know my name?

I opened my eyes to see my little brother Rico, standing over me. It was just a dream. Thank God. I sat up, "Yo you goody sis? You was buggin in here" Rio layed his long self across my bed, he was only 18 but stood 6 feet 3 inches tall.
"Yeah I'm good" I finally responded, I grabbed my robe before heading into the bathroom. I was off today but had 3 hair appointments booked. I took a long hot shower, I thought back to my dream. This is the third time I've had that dream. Did it mean something? I was cut out of my thoughts by my phone ringing, quickly drying off & putting my phone on I answered, it was my oldest brother Celly.
His real name is Arcel but preferred Celly for obvious reasons. I pressed 5 to accept the call, "Whats goody sis?" He said into the phone. We talked for a good 30 minutes before the automated lady came on telling us we had 1 minute remaining. We said our "love you's" & ended the call. I missed my brother, he's been in prison the last 4 years serving a life sentence for a murder he didn't commit.
"Here you go, how do you like it?" I asked my client, I had just completed a bob sew in for her. "I looooove it!" she exclaimed "how much I owe you?" she paid me plus a nice tip before leaving. "Ok Rico you good" I said cleaning up before my next client came through. I always made Rio stay out of sight when I had a client, although I was just working out of apartment I wanted to remain as professional as possible. "Man we gotta expand or something" he said coming from out of my bedroom, I only had a 1 bedroom apartment. Originally it was just me here, but since Rio has came to live with me while he finishes highschool things have been cramped, I mean he is 6'3 sleeping on my loveseat.

I finished up my last client for the day, I grabbed my phone realizing I had 2 missed calls from Celly. That was definitely odd, he usually only calls home about once a week, said it reminded him too much of the outside. I shrugged because it's not like I could call him back. I cleaned up my work space before heading back into my bedroom, Rico was sprawled out in my bed. I decided to let him sleep & opted for the couch instead.
