𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆 (2020)18 year old Cecilia sat at her friends grave with her head hung low. Ten years ago today her life was ripped into pieces and she lost someone that was really close to her. Word of Junior's death spread fast and the evil man who pulled that trigger went into hiding and hadn't come out since. Nobody knew who that man was except for one person.
And that was Junior's older brother, Kofi. For years everyone wanted answers as to why that man had done what he did. And Kofi had them. Kofi who was 16 at the time owed people money and he wasn't able to pay them back. They took this as a violation and tormented him in many ways possible. It lead to his mum kicking him out and sending him to live with his father in Leeds. When Kofi found out about his little brother's death, it hit him hard and he instantly felt guilty. He felt as if he was the one to blame for this.
Cecilia cleaned up the old flowers and replaced them with new ones. She hated seeing her best friends grave messy so she always felt the need to clean it up. Cecilia bowed her head and said a little prayer then picked up her things and left.
Watching Junior get shot had left Cecilia traumatised and everything about her changed. In secondary school she barely made any friends, her attitude lead to her getting kicked out in year 9; and she had been involved in numerous fights. She was angry at the world and took her anger out on everyone.

He'd never trouble her again and it was going to stay that way!
Or so she thought...
