DaeDae: No I don't wanna drag you into this? Darren: I'm goin! All that was left to do was get in the car. I'm not gonna lie my heart was racing and I will admit I was scared than a bitch! My dad is gonna kill him and JJ is gonna be there to watch. This is not gonna solve anything. As we sped down 95 we didn't say anything at all. The silence in the car was deafening. I mean what do you say when you and you new boyfriend is going to go stop someone from being murdered. Yeah he was trying to ruin my family but there were other options. I was so deep in thought I didn't hear Darren talking to me Darren: Hello? Did you hear me? DaeDae: My bad naw? Darren: Do you have a plan or something? DaeDae: What the fuck kind of questions is that? Hell Naw I don't have a fuckin plan... I do not sit around and come up with this shit. When I get there I will assess the situation... Darren: Look I know you stressin but chill... You aint gon be no help to anyone if you not somewhat level headed.... We here how we gon do this? DaeDae: We're NOT doin anything. You are gonna stay in the car and it's not up for discussion. This dude supposedly works for da Feds and I can get out of trouble but it will be hard to get you out and I don't want you caught up in this. So please as a favor to me STAY IN THE CAR? If I'm not out in 30 mins then you come in? Darren: Wait, here take this jus in case?.. He handed me his gun and he kissed me. The kiss was one you only dream about and my gut told me this would be our last kiss. So before I got too emotional I jumped out the car. I walked up to the door and as soon as I opened it I heard Ramon being beaten and I heard my Dad talking. I wasn't prepared for what I saw next. I saw my twin, my life, my other torturing Ramon. My heart sank and I let the rage in and it filled me and I felt a sense of calm wash over me. DaeDae: So this is what we do now? JJ and my Dad both turned to look at me. JJ: Go home Damien me and dad will take care of this. DaeDae: I'm not leavin here without Ramon JJ: So you still willing to ruin everything for some dick! YOU PUTTIN THIS BITCH ASS NIGGA BEFORE YO FAM? BEFO ME?! DaeDae: YOU NOT THINKING CLEARLY BRUH ? THIS AINT GON SOLVE SHIT! AND YO DADDY FUCKIN KNOWS IT! THIS IS NOT WORTH HIS LOVE AND IF IT IS IT'S A HELL OF A PRICETAG. JJ: I'm doin this to protect our family! Is this nigga hearing what he saying? And my dad is jus sitting there smiling like this all jus a big fucking joke! I gotta keep my cool. DaeDae: So you jus gon let him throw his life away? Cuz if he kills this nigga Mom won't be able to clean up the mess. WE ALL GOIN DOWN! J Sr.: FUCK YOU AND YOU CAN KILL ALL THAT SELF RIGHTEOUS BULLSHIT! HOW YOU GON COME UP IN MY SHIT CRITCIZING ME FOR BEIN A KILLER AND YOU 1 YO DAMN SELF! I had to play it cool. I could not let this nigga see had got the best of me. DaeDae: Fuck You! That was different!! JJ: Dad what the fuck you talkin bout?! He never killed nobody! J Sr.: Ohh so you never told him huh? DaeDae: Don't even try to turn that shit on me? It was all your doing and don't deny it! J Sr.: I will admit it did get out of hand but You and Melody handled it very well.... JJ: KeKe what is he talkin bout? I guess now was the time to lay it all out on the table. Once I did things would never be the same. DaeDae: When we were 16, the man you love so much had some of boys try to jump me and then rape me! If Melody hadn't been looking for me they would have. Some of them ran but the 1 dude said he had a job to do and he knocked Melody out and then he pistol whipped me and the he Raped me. I fought him with everything I had and I shot him? JJ: YOU'RE A FUCKIN LIAR!!! DAD WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO YOU!!!! YOU LYING JUS TO SAVE YO PRECIOUS BOYFRIEND! DaeDae: JJ wait I'm not lying? By this time he was crying and my Dad just stood there silent like nothing was going on. JJ reached for his gun and held it to Ramon's head. JJ beat him so bad he could even talk and when he saw the gun he looked me dead in the eyes. He had a look of desperation and fear. DaeDae: Jermaine please don't do this. Mi amour please.... JJ: DON'T!!! Don't fuckin call me that! I'm done talkin! Before I can say anything else he pulled the trigger. JJ emptied the whole clip into Ramon's head!! I couldn't move, think, or talk. The tears came streaming down my face. I turned to that bastard and he had this look on face like he was proud of him. He was so smug and I just couldn't take it. The rage took over and I ran towards my dad. DaeDae: IMMA KILL YOU!!! I HATE YOU! I FUCKIN HATE YOU! Before I knew it Darren and JJ was pulling me off. I was not having it! I'm gon kill him. Darren: Man Bae chill he not worth it! DaeDae: IT'S HIS FAULT THE FAMILY THE WAY IT IS!! IT'S ALL HIS FUCKIN FAULT! I pulled my gun out and pointed it at my Dad. He started laughing his smug laugh and watching my Brother cater to him after everything he done. I just couldn't take it. J Sr.: YO FAGGOT ASS AINT GOT THE BALLSTO PULL THE TRIGGER!! DaeDae: THAT'S WHERE YOU WRONG BITCH!! I PULLED THE TRIGGER! Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. When I finally realized what just happen I saw my brother lying on the floor. He jumped in front of my dad! DaeDae: Joseph!!!! NO NO NO!!!! WHAT DID I DO?!?! IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY! He held up his hand to my face and smiled. JJ: You were right Mi amor I watched as he took his last breath. My world is over. I have nothing left. I killed my brother. I began to cry uncontrollably. He was always caught in da middle..
