Artiva's P.O.V.

October 2, 2014

That was 5 years ago,when my brother overdosed on Cocaine,Heroine,Ecstasy and blue dolphin.I saw him do cocaine once.It was like may and I watched him do it.He thought I was at school but I've never seen him do it again after that day.I didn't have anything to burry him with so he was cremated.I let his ashes go at the beach.

Derrick kept his promise.He said that he had me and he did.He became the big brother/father figure in my life that I needed.But that didn't help me alot.After the corners office got my brother's body I went back mute.I don't speak any more.No reason too.Everyone i had left was gone.I had moved into Derrick small house with him in order not to be taking into state custody.It was 1 bed room and 1 bathroom.Derrick gave me the room while he slept on the couch.I didn't mind sleeping on the couch but he wanted me to be comfortable.

Derrick made me finish school.Graduating number 3 out of 130.Him and his crew was there cheering me on.Even though they didn't really know me like that they tried to get to know me,but mostly they wanted me to talk.One of Derrick's friend's his name was Kevin.He started calling me Mute Spittah one day after he saw me mouthing the words to a rap song.I had the hand motions and everything going.He ran in the living room tom'bout "Mute up in da kitchen going ham.She the mute spittah man.She was just killin it wit ha hand motions mouthing the words to that song."The guys laughed so hard at him.

On of Derrick's friends,Mel he was killed.Like that hit a spot for me cause out of the crew Mel was the only one that ever heard me talk and he was that big brother figure.He was so sweet.He heard me talk when I thought I was the only one home after all the guys left.I had my head phones in and I was softly singing Aaliyah.I looked over at the door and there Mel was standing there smirking.I knew I fucked up then.

~~FlashBack~~

Me:But at your best you are love
You're a positive motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know. . .

I felt somebody starring at me.I looked over at the door seeing Mel standing there with a smirk on his face and his arms folded.I yanked my headphones out and looked at him.

Mel:I finally hear Mute speak.

Me:Yea you did.

Mel:You got a voice lil shawty.

Me:Thank you.

Mel:Ight now that I got you talking.Talk to me.You tell me whats on your mind and I tell you what's on mine.

He sat at the foot of the bed and faced me.

Mel:I'm waiting Mute.

Me:My name is Artiva or Taye.

Mel:Well Im waiting Taye.!

Me:Where do I start.?

Mel:The beginning.

~~FlashBack Over~~

That night Mel and I talked like it wasn't nothing.He made me smile and laugh something I rarely did back then.He told me the story of how he and his girl Chandra met.About their 3 girls.Reason why he was out here slanging.He opened up to me about his past and how he felt cause he knew I wasn't gone say shit.As I opened up to him about everything.Tears were shed and laughs filled the room.It was just a bunch off stuff that the both of us had to get off our chest.We wanted nothing but positive energy.
