Chapter 3

"Makea." I called out to my sister.

"Yes, Lil Missy baby." She answered. That’s a name my sister has been calling me for over a decade. It comes from Lil Mz.Undestood because no one understands me or the things I do.

"I’m nervous about my court date. What if they take me away and I can’t never come back?" I said, my eyes were filled with tears.

"Lil Missy, don’t worry. Everything's going to be okay, I promise you that." She said with encouragement.

It's times like these that I'm glad my sister Makea is my best friend. I can talk to her about any and everything; bad or good. Yea, sometimes we have our ups and downs but at the end of the day she has always been by my side and I will always be by hers. We fuss and fight almost every day but only we can talk junk to each, no one else can cross that line because my mother always said "if one fight we all fight."

My sister lives in the hood on 7th and Market Street. I loved staying with her every weekend and I hate to say this but out of all my sisters, we have the strongest bond and are very close because we were the last two left in the house living with my mother. We used to have mad fun together. Every weekend my friends and I would worry her and get on her nerves until she kicked us out. All the boys would come see me and we would chill on my sister's porch and make up all types of conversations and talk about memories we had. My sister fussed about how I was such a tom boy all the time but I couldn’t help it; it wasn’t my fault.

Although being around my sister was fun, the times she struggled in her environment wasn't. That had a big affect on me. I knew I didn’t want to end up like that so I made a promise to myself I would get a good education and take my family out of the hood. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I spent the night with my sister the day before my court date so I could tell my nieces and nephews good bye in case I was sent away. They are one of the other reason why I smile. That night we had a ball, my sister cooked and we played family games and stayed up laughing at silly things.

The next morning I didn’t even want to get out of bed. I didn’t know whether to run for it or what but I just knew I didn’t want to go to court. I couldn’t think of what I would do if I was taken away from my family. It wouldn’t even be life anymore that I would be living. I heard my phone ring and it interrupted my thoughts. I looked at my screen and saw it was my mother calling. I answered it slowly.
