"Titi!" Caleb and Aniya yelled, running around the house.

"Yes, babies?" I asked, cleaning the dishes.

"We're hungry." Anyia said.

"Where is your mommy?"

"She go bye bye."

"Why did I even ask," I said, mumbling. "Give Titi a few minutes to make breakfast. Do you guys want me to turn on Spongebob while I'm cooking?"

"Yes!" Caleb yelled.

"Okay, go sit down for Titi. I'll be there in a second."

I grabbed my phone and called Tati. It was only ten in the morning. Why was she gone so early? What was she doing? I couldn't help but wonder what kind of condition Caleb and Aniya were left in when she just decided to leave. I couldn't wait till they went off to school. At least I knew that they were left in a safe place.

"Good morning, Britt Bratt." My brother greeted.

"Good morning, Jay." I said, finishing up the pancakes.

"Where's Tati?"

I sighed. "Only if I knew."

"That girl is getting wilder and wilder as the days go bye." Jay said, slightly shaking his head.

"I know, I wish Dad hadn't sent me all the way down to Flordia. I feel like I should be here to look after Tati and the kids."

"You're not our mother, Brittany. You need to go on and get your education while you can. You gotta become something because the rest of us are just some shit."

"Don't say that, Jay."

"It's true, Britt. KJ is locked up, Tati is wilder that goose, and I'm broke as hell. You're meant to be someone. Don't ruin your chance trying to look after us. Do you and become someone great in the ugly ass world, okay?"

I sighed. "You know i'll try my best, Jay. I just want to make a better world for us."

"That's fine, but make a better world for you first. We may not be the best, rich family but we still got each others back. I know you won't forget about us, Britt."

I chuckled. "Never would I ever forget my family and where I came from. You know better than that, Jay."

"I know, so you got a boyfriend down there in Flordia?"

"Nope," I said, popping the p. "But, I am intrested in these two guys."

"Damn, two niggas? I taught yo' ass well! We don't try to save these niggas we just pass and play these niggas!"

"Jay, shut up!" I exclaimed, clutching onto my stomach. "I can't with you."

"Does either one of them like you?"

"Bruh, you know you my nigga now!"

"Stop sicing the whole thing," I replied, shaking my head. "You should be helping me out with the situation."

"I say you play the fuck out of both of their asses. That would be funny as hell."

"No, Jay. I just can't do that. I have feelings for them, you know."

"So? Fuck feelings. These niggas out here are too grimy for feelings."

"Every guy isn't some fucked up, playing ass hood nigga like you!" I yelled, laughing along with Jay.

"Shit, my ass aint never been down to Flordia. Shit, my ass aint never been out of the hood! What you expect me to think these niggas out there are like?"

"They aren't bad, Jay. Some are actually really good guys. They're so different from the guys up here."

"How? I'm curious."

"All the guys up here are wanna be players, broke ass niggas. All they care about is getting some ass and moving on. They some fake ass trap stars and act like it's so cute. Acting like liking a girl is a damn problem. With they clamydia infected asses." I said, fixing everyones plate.

He chuckled. "You described the perfect wanna be DC nigga. Not all of us are like that though, Britt."

"What you mean us? I was descrbing your ass!"

"Bish whet, I don't have clamydia!"

"Anymore." I corrected.

"You're a bitch." He said, laughing.

"And you're a male thot."

"Shit, you got that right." I said, grabbing three forks. "Caleb! Aniya! Come on and eat!"

I passed Jay a fork and boosted Aniya and Caleb up on the chairs before sitting down. "Whose turn is it to say grace?" I asked.

"Mine!" Aniya yelled, grinning hard.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Dear gawd. Thank you for this food we are about to eat. Bless everyone who don't have food. And bless mommy too because she aint here. Amen."

"Amen." We all said as a family.

Everyone dug into their food like they haven't had a home cooked breakfast in years! Before I went to college, I would cook for my family since my dad worked long, depressing hours. I couldn't even imagine what they ate once I left. I felt bad for leaving my family in pure hell like that.

"This taste so good," Jay said, smashing the eggs. "Is there anymore?"

"Of course, go look on the stove."

"Titi, I want some more too!" Aniya said.

"Me too." Said Caleb. His voice was barely above a whispered.

I chuckled and took their plates. I loaded more food then a average two year old would eat. "Here, my loves."

My phone vibrated in my pocket almost scarring that shit out of me. I took and it out and smiled once I saw it was from Chresanto.

I chuckled at how Chresanto was actually gonna make that fifteen hour drive just to see me. This boy is crazy.

"I'm having company over tomorrow." I told Jay.

"Who?"

"Chresanto."

Jay smirked. "What time that lil nigga coming? I gotta make sure I'm here."

"Probably like early early. Like three am early."

"Shit, you know ima be up then. I gotta inspect this nigga."

I giggled. My brother was crazy as hell.
