"MOMMY!" Jaylee yelled snapping me out my thoughts. "Why me and Journ can't come to the party?"

"Girl cause y'all not old enough." I said shaking my head they were freshly 7 going on 17.

"That's not fair I wanna shake that too." Jaylee said getting up and doing the hip shit from tik tok making me laugh.

"Oh hell naw g who taught you that?" Von said soon as he walked in the house from taking Mir to get his hair cut.

"Auntie Kayla and Bella" Journee said doing the dance too.

"Get that shit God babies!" Kirah said from beside me, I forgot her ass was even here.

"Daddy whoop them." Mir said simply before coming to sit on my lap. "Missed you mommy."

"Mir you weird for that." Journee said making me laugh.

"G stop talking around my kids." Von said.

"Like what is you calling people weird for and you 7 g what."

"This nigga stressed." Kirah said cracking up. "Wait til they hit them teens."

"Man don't rush it. I already gotta deal with the 26 year old version of them." Von said mugging me making Mir mug him back.

"You love it here though." I said sticking my tongue out at him.

"Boy you saying that like I'm old." I said giving them a hug.

"4 years from 30." Nardo said.

"I know you fucking lying g." Booka said.

"I'm getting drunk fuck what you talkin'."

"All I know is you be on that throwing up shit, you getting left wherever you did the shit at."

"Man whatever pass me the mf liquor g" Booka said waving me off.

"I don't know how we dealt with you all these years bro." Kirah said. "And I'm the one that's with you."

"Wit me forever." Booka added.

"Bless the bottle bitches." Kayla said walking up with a bottle of 1942.

"Toxic ass bitch." I said tapping the bottle with everybody else following.

"Y'all strapped?" Von asked the guys.

"Course so." Durk said lifting his shirt up.

"We ain't dumb g" Booka said. "Is you strapped?"

"Man mfs know not to get stupid in this bitch." Twin said.

"You know who I am brotha." Von said. "Of course."

"Wait i gotta take my standback." I said going in my purse.

"You a real alcoholic g." Booka said. "Then supposed to be for the headaches when you get the hangover, yo ass taking the shit before."

"Hold on here come my husband part." I said getting hype.

"Aye what he say Mook?" Booka said recording me & Von.

"I ain't tryna squash no beef nigga. We into it 'til you die, real street nigga. At yo' funeral, I might just slide. Rest in pee nigga. Shoot up everybody that's outside

I bet Wooski feel this one. I bet Wooski still twitchin', " I rapped to Von while he was just looking at me nodding his head.

"Know that's right! Rap yo nigga shit best." Kirah said recording me too.

"He changed, somethin' different. I got clips like Mel Gibson all full, none of them empty. I know niggas scared to come around when I pop out outside, I done gave niggas whole head starts. Still I hawk 'em down"

All of a sudden the music was cut and I seen Jada with the microphone.

"I wanna see bitches shaking ass!" Jada said. "I got a band for the best twerker right now."

"Add on another band bae." Reese said.

I gladly walked my ass over there cause I was atleast getting half. I don't care how much money I got, I'm participating.

"My bitches up here." Jada said into the mic when she seen Kirah and I walked up there. "Love thattttttt."

"Aye I'm adding on another band." Some nigga from the crowd yelled to Jada. "Come get the money g."

"That's 3 bands right here, y'all bitches better get up here and shake something."

"Y'all ready?"

"Yeah girl come on I'm tryna win that money." A random from the crowd shouted.

"Alright DJ cmon." Jada said and Freestyle Breakdown Part 2 started blasting.

Next thing you know soon as the beat dropped. Me & Kirah hit the splits at the same time and it was just ass everywhere.

"Shitttttt" Jada said into the mic. "I love what I'm seeing here."

"My bitches fucking y'all up. That's all facts no shade though."

"Alright that's enough g." Von said snatching me up and Booka followed suit.

"Y'all ain't no fun." I said rolling my eyes.

"I was shaking what my mama gave me."

"Alright it's over." Jada said making the DJ cut the music. "My top 4 is."

"Kirah, Mook, shorty with the blonde frontal and the red head."

"Period." Kirah said sticking her tongue out at Von and Booka. "Let's go split our money best."

"See a shot take a shot." I said taking a shot and then passing the bottle to whoever was by me.

"G don't put another bottle to yo lips." Durk said. "You and Booka always gotta be the drunkest."

"Fuck ya." I said sliding my all back Chanel glasses down and sitting on Von's lap.

Right now it was just the gang since the party had ended an hour ago and surprisingly them mfs cleaned up before they left.

"I think I wanna make baby number 4 tonight." Von whispered in my ear making me laugh a little.

"I heard that g." Booka said. "Gone with that freaky shit g."

"Boy I don't know why you saying that." Kirah said. "Cause soon as we get home I'm on you."

"That ain't no problem at all."

"Horny ass bitches." Asia said shaking her head.

"I think I made 3 and a half bands tonight." I said looking at all the money almost spilling out my purse.

"They asses was throwing it and I gladly played clean up."

"Girl." Durk said

"Y'all this the first party we had and ain't shit happen." Jada said.

"Shit crazy ain't it." Reese said.

"Man g but look though I could get used to this quiet life shit g." Von said. "I then had my fun and ran my course."

"Time to leave all that extra shit to the lil niggas."

"I'd never thought I'd see the day you niggas grow up." India said. "Even though my man been out that shit."

"Mook call mama g so her ass can stop calling me." Durk said and I smacked my lips.

"Boy." I said unlocking my phone and calling my mama and she picked up on the 4th ring.

"Unun anything after 3 is begging-"

"Dthang got shot." My mama said cutting me off and making me go silent.

"H-huh? He good though right mama?" I asked crying at this point and her silence told me all I needed to know.

"Mook what's wrong g?" Durk asked.

"Right what's wrong bae."

"Dthang... h-he." I couldn't even finish before I started breaking down making Kirah and Jada rush to me. "Y'all I can't breathe."

"Von she finna have a panic attack." Kirah said and he squatted down in front of me.

"Look down at me bae and just breathe." He said tryna help me control my breathing.

"Man Mook what the fuck is going on g." Booka asked.

"Durk get the phone." India said and Durk snatched my phone out my hand.

"Mama what's wrong bro? Why Mook breaking down and shit?" I heard him ask.

"Ma what you mean my brother gone."Durk said and I could hear it in his voice that his heart just broke.

"Naw not Thang g." Booka said. "Not my brotha."

"What the fuck." Kirah said.

"Damn I'm sorry sis." Nardo said.

"The most boldest shit fucking ever!" Jada said.

"My big brother." I mumbled feeling my knees about to go weak.

"We going to mama shit." Durk said coldly before walking off.

Me & Dthang were Durk entire hearts aside from his kids and India. What was me and Durk without Dthang? That's the big brother who we looked up to, literally.

"Mommy." Was all I could say when I walked into my mamas house and seen her. At my big age of 26 all I wanted was my mama.

"Come here." She said to me and Durk & we just broke down in her arms.

"This shit not fair at all." I cried. "That was one person who stayed out of bullshit bro, mommy why?

"Man dukes." Booka said tryna hold his tears back cause he wasn't the type to cry at all. "I don't even know what to say g."

"Mama I'm so sorry." Kirah said hugging her from behind with everybody else consoling the 3 of us.

"I had 3 kids but was blessed with bonuses." My mama said. "I love y'all so much."

"We love you too nan." One of the twins said popping up and scaring the fuck outta me.

"Girl she said kids not grandkids." Kirah said.

"Bro." I said laughing through my tears getting out of the hug. "Y'all gotta stop scaring me."

"Mommy don't be sad." Journee said. "Nan said my uncle in a better place. I do miss him already though."

I hated they were at the age when they could understand what was going on cause how I'm supposed to deal with the fact they know their uncle never coming back.

"Bub." I said looking at Durk who looked dead in the face and he came over and just hugged me, again.

"It's only us left Mook." He mumbled. "I promise imma never leave you g."

"It stink." Journee said scrunching her nose up.

"Girl go back to sleep." Booka said.

"What my baby said, y'all assses smell like pure liquor and weed." My mama said.

"Well we sober now, I know that much." I mumbled.

"What happened ma?" Von asked. He didn't have much to say but I know once we got back home that it was gone hit him.

"Look to me like whoever he was with set him up." She said shaking her head. "I thought he was supposed to been with y'all."

"He said he was gone chill with us after it was over and he never made it so we assumed he was at home g damn." Booka said shaking his head.

"Man who gone tell Wop? He gone be so fucked up in jail g." I said shaking my head.

"We onnat." Durk said. "Mama I'm sorry but you know what come with this life."

"We getting back for my brother g on everything I love."

"Know I'm with that brotha." Von said with the coldest look on his face.

All my mama could do was stand there cause she know wasn't no stopping Durk once he was in his mode.

We experienced a lot of death but I think this one just broke us....
