NATE Jr.
same day

"It was him I know it." Mom stressed, she's been telling me how she thinks she saw my pops and I told her that was crazy.

Yeah I wished he was here but we all saw him die.

"You're gonna turn yourself crazy over dis ma, you gotta get some sleep."

"So you don't believe me?" She asked and I just stared at her. "I can tell by the look in your eyes dat you believe it... so if you believe it I do as well." I told her.

"You don't think I actually saw him do you?"

"Mom..." I began then took a deep breath.

"Would you like to go back to see if he's there?" I asked and she laughed. "Poking fun at me just like your uncle, I would've thought you would've believed me." She mumbled getting up and stormed out the living room.

Sighing, I leaned into the cushion and stared at the photo of them.

There was a slim, very slim chance my pops was alive.

He died in our arms for crying out loud.

If he is alive by some weird way then he got some explaining to do for why he never tried to find us.

But like I said dude is gone.

"Nizzy Nate!"

Laughing at the weird nickname Ramel gave me, I slapped hands with him when he plopped down on the sofa.

"How was school lil man?" I asked grabbing his book bag. Gabby walked through the door looking pissed off.

"What'd you do to her?"

"You don't wanna know." He mumbled about to get up and run but Gabby dropped her phone and yanked him by the back of his shirt.

"Aye, chill." I said jumping up and picked Gabby lil ass up before she could go upside his head.

Ramel ran once he was free and Gabby snatched away from me.

"His lil bad ass started a food fight today!"

"Ok... they have like four days left." I replied picking her phone up.

"Well not him, he got into a fight with some lil big headed boy in the midst of things."

"Now his ass is suspended, until they start the new freaking year!"

I just stood there, I mean food fights are like the ultimate shit you HAVE to do before the year is over.

Nobody said an actual fight wouldn't break out.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked shoving me, damn I ain't realize that.

"I'm not ma, just chill he was having fun be easy on him." I told her and she mugged me. "See... this is the sh— whew JESUS!" She screamed storming out the living room just like my mama did.
