October 10th, 1988
Brooklyn,NY

So today marks 1 month I have been with De. It's crazy because I would've never thought I would be with someone like him. He's so kind hearted, gentle, just an amazing person overall. My mom and dad likes him. They always want him to come over. DJ doesn't like him at all, he's always being stand-offish to De. I don't know why. I think the cocaine he loves to sniff is kicking in.

"Woahhh, this is you Nyla?" De says picking up a photo of me while I went to the Bahamas with my family back when I was 14 or 15.

"Yeah, it's me

"Yeah, it's me. I was about 15 at that time. DJ took that pic" I say beginning to get into my feelings about the bond that DJ and I no longer have. He has been so distant to me. We don't have our usual talks anymore. We just walk past like we aren't blood. That hurts.

"Speaking of DJ... what's his problem with me?" De asks me. The question causes me to tense up and makes me ask myself the same thing.

"Uh, I don't know. I mean he's my older brother. He's gonna have a protective side" I respond biting down my lip beginning to cry while looking at a picture of DJ and myself.

"Mmm, bullshit" De says causing me to look at him like he's crazy.

"Bullshit? What the fuck do you mean?" I ask becoming very angry.

"I mean, let's really think about it Nyla. Your dad isn't acting this way. And mostly I would expect your dad to be all up on my dick. But he ain't. So if yo' Daddy ain't on my dick why is DJ on mine then?" De says with a little attitude in his voice causing me to be defensive.

"First off all Donald, watch your tone and language before my daddy doesn't like you. And two, DJ and my dad are different." I say losing my breath at how fast I responded

"Aight, think what you want" De says then picking up another picture. This one is me bugging my grandfather that died a few years back.
