"His mama passed away from Cancer when we were 13 and he didn't take it well! She was his best friend, his biggest cheerleader, always encouraging him be EXACTLY who he was although his pops and others thought him to be weird! He closed himself off and his dad didn't know how to help him. He started getting in trouble, we BOTH did while running the streets but I honestly didn't think much of it! When his dad got sick our freshman year of high school, he really became a f**k IT type dude! He felt like he ain't have nobody although I was there for him in the only way I knew how to be at 15!" Juliet swallowed down the emotions she felt, her head beginning to ache from her being another person to judge him without taking the chance to really get to know him.
"The night his pops went into the hospital, the doctors saying he wasn't going to make it, Evanston was blank! He acted so numb to it all that he even let me convince him to go to this party to help get his mind off everything. Knowing everything I know now, I wouldn't have even made the suggestion but it was on the Southside and I knew I wasn't bold enough to go alone!
