Looking down at the razor blade I had In my hand I breathe deeply just staring at it.
Everybody at school has been talking about the video of my parents death and some people even tapped pictures of them on my locker.
"Come out of there man". Dakari said on the other side of the door.
"Just go away man". I said rolling my sleeve up to see the old wounds.
"Look whatever you doing make it quick my moms want you to have dinner with her and her friend". He said before walking away from the door.
Sliding the blade against my wrist I watch as the blood rolled down before closing my eyes and putting my head back.
This was the only way to get rid of the pain. It's like people see me but they don't see my cries for help.
"Kairo you in there baby". My aunt asked knocking on the door.
"Yeah auntie". I said quickly standing up and cleaning up.
Once I was done I open the door and she looks up smiling at me.
"Get ready my friend wants to have dinner". She said and I nod.
Reaching up she rubs my cheek smiling at me.
"You look just like your father". She said tearing up and I brought her into a hug.
Looking up at the ceiling I try to hold my tears back.
"Okay let me stop and go get ready". She said breaking away from the hug and wiping her eyes with a small laugh.
Once she walked out I walked into my closet to find something to wear.

Right now I'm standing outside going off on Jerome about the stunt that he pulled at the party.
"Man you still on that s**t". He asked causing me to mug him.
"What do you mean am I still on that s**t yes I'm still on it that was that boy's parents and you put it out for everybody at school to see". I said pushing the side of his head.
"I told him to stop talking to you and he didn't listen". He said with a shrug and I slapped him.
Yanking me up against the car by my shirt I hear people walking up.
"Don't put your hands on me b***h". He said staring at me.
"f**k you and get the f**k off of me". I said pushing him back.
He looks at me intensely before walking away. Looking over I see it's my moms friend and Kairo.
"Hey Lauren". I said giving her a hug.
" Hello sweetheart this is my nephew Kairo". She said pointing behind her.
"I know him". I said giving her a small smile.
"Is your mother inside". She asked and I nodded.
"I'm going to go say hi". She said walking off towards the house.
"Hey". I said looking over at him.
"Wassup". He said giving me a head nod.
"You want to come up to my room". I ask and he looks over at me before nodding.
"Follow me". I said walking into the house and up the stairs.
Pushing my room door open I wait until he walks in and close the door. Getting on the bed he stands by the door looking around.
"You can sit down you know". I said causing him to look at me.
Walking over he sits on the edge of the bed. Going to the end I sit behind him and wrap my arms around him.
"What are you doing". He asked trying to get up but I held on.
"Just let me hold you". I said laying my head on his back.
It's not like I'm trying to get with him it's just something I felt that he needed.
We sat there in silence for a few minutes. After a while we decided to lay down.
"Do you ever feel like you want to be somebody else". He asked as we both stared up at the ceiling in silence.
"Yeah actually I do my parents except so much from me and so do people at school sometimes it's to much to keep up with". I said looking over at him.
Turning over on my side I prop my head up on my hand.
"What about you". I ask rubbing his chin softly.
"Sometimes I don't want to be". He started to say but my room door came open cutting him off.
"It's time to eat you guys". My mother said as we got up.
"I'm sorry we can finish this later". I said looking over at him.
"Nah it's cool". He said pulling his sleeves down and walking out.
I want to know what he was going to say...
