"You right brudah, you staying?"

"Yea, I'm back until after you graduate then back to Atlanta I go." "I love you brother."

"I love you too get some rest."

"You never answered my question."

"😂Aww yeah it's 10:00." he said and closed my door. I love when my brother visits he's like the only person that understands me.

A little about me my name is Naomi Crystal Brown, Crystal is my mother's name she died giving birth to me so I never met her all I have is pictures and things people tell me about her.

I'm 5'9, a senior, and my big brother has a different mom but she always made me feel like I belonged.

My dad's a preacher so he's really strict on the things I can do and wear but oh well. I know he only wants the best for me.

My grandma lives with us she tries to give me a little freedom to hang out and make friends, but my dad always have some to say but anyways. "Here's yo phone baby." My Grammy said.

"How did you get it?"

"I made him give it to me cause Calvin told me everything, I'm proud of you baby." she said as she handed me $100 dollars.
