Alexandra

Once I had all of Xander's things packed, I placed them by the door. I wasn't even stressing anymore, to be honest. I've been nothing but faithful and he just had to do some grimey shit like that.

I don't even care if he isn't cheating but that's low down, how could he?

I didn't even notice I was crying until Mikal came in and rubbed my back, "You good?"

I looked at this nigga as if he was the stupidest person to ever inhabit this earth because... nigga am I crying or am I not crying? Is my HUSBAND out there or is he not out there with a fucking hoe at a motherfucking strip club and not eating dinner with his family?

"Yeah. Are you good though?"

"Yeah."

"Don't lie."

He shook his head, laid it on my shoulder and started crying.

"What's wrong, Kal?"

"I got cancer man."

I couldn't help but to start crying too.

"I love you so much Mikal, we gon' fight this shit together."

"I love you too, Alex."

11 Years Later

"Mommy! Daddy and Honey are here!"

"Alright! Is the back yard set up yet?! Where are your grandparents?!"

"Everyone is in the back yard, we're waiting on you and Bb."

"Alright."

I picked Bb up and took him out to the back, my little boy was an old man now. 

We were celebrating death. Kinda crazy right? It's been 10 years since Mikal had died and 11 years since the police gunned down Naielle and Bianca. 

This shit is crazy, he died the exact day of Naielle and Bianca's death, a whole year later. My best friend. My human diary. He didn't even have any kids to carry on his legacy, I was at my worst point. 

Freshly divorced, helping Jasmine with the twins since Mario was out doing God knows what, trying to co-parent, taking care of Bb because he developed hip dysplasia, then Mikal topped it off by being selfish and dying. I was out here thugging it out though.

The back yard was lit up with candles and lanterns. All of our closest friends were here, family members, Naille, Bianca, and Mikal's family and friends were also here. It was at least 60 deep. 

We've already eaten, we reminisced, now it was time to release the lanterns.

Jasmine came over and hugged me tightly, I confided in her, everything.

5ive's "Me And My Brother" came on and it hit me, he's really been gone for sooooooo long. A whole decade. Bestfriend by MarMonroe came on shortly after and we released the lanterns.

"Mommy!"

I started hearing gunshots, screaming, crying... 

I needed to get my kids! I started running trying to find them, they were under the table by our "Weeping Wall" with the twins. 

"Alejandra! Alejandro! Marissa! MJ! Go into the house and hide!"

"Come on mommy!"

"I'm getting Bb! I'll be there I promise!"

Alejandra nodded and they ran inside, I looked around at a lot of dead bodies, I was stuck, I literally couldn't move. 

I found Bb he was dead too. 

What did I do to deserve this? I started running towards the house then I felt it.

My body was being riddled with bullets. I saw Honey and looked down then it got dark, I heard her crying. 

I remembered the last thing I saw before darkness took over was the mourning set in front of the weeping wall. A wall I would come to and cry. I wouldn't have to cry anymore. 

Then it was the craziest feeling, I couldn't feel anything anymore and it was getting dark. I saw Mikal.
