CHAPTER SEVEN

Epilogue

Life changed everyone it had even changed me who was once again wearing the scars from the hood as if they never went away. I had taken Ramon’s place and became the boss of the hood and would one day have a protégé I would train to take my spot. Trying to live a double life was beyond exhausting.

I stared at my hands as I knew what they had been capable of doing. I had killed my own brother for a brother. I couldn’t believe I was the one who had shot the gun that pierced through Jarome, but he was willingly trying to kill me. My last words to him, while he was gasping for air, had been the fact I was sleeping with Deja all this time.

The funeral home was crowded as Jarome’s body was inside a closed casket. My mother was balling her eyes out, and the organ player was playing a hymn I hadn’t heard in a long time.

Deja had sat beside me with her long black dress and a black hat that covered her face. She was now classified a widow, and our secret had gone to the grave with Jarome, just like my secret of killing my own brother had gone to the grave with them.

There was nothing anyone could say that could make my brother turns out to be a saint, but every time someone stepped to the podium, they did their best to try.

I glanced around at the faces of Jarome’s gang being there. It was hard since I wanted them out of this funeral, but my mother was unaware that these people were the reason Jarome ended up dead. Luckily she didn’t realize I was the one that pulled the trigger on the fatal shot.

My mother wanted me to say something nice, but I had nothing to say nice about Jarome. He had gotten what he had deserved. These past couple months shed a light on something that had been happening, and I was unaware of it.

What had killed Jarome was not being able to handle power and turning it into greed. I knew everyone had their own way of grieving, but I wasn’t about to shed a tear for this man. He had caused a lot of hurt and discontent.

I knew one day I would have to deal with it, but at the moment I was okay with the fact he was gone, and I could safely move on without him. At the moment I tried hard to tell myself people die all the time, this was a fact of life in the streets; some died of overdoses, betrayal and drive by shootings. What my brother did was start a gang war before he died that ended up with two brothers that belonged to rival gangs facing off.

I would never know why he killed Ramon or what had gone through his mind before he did it. Jarome and Ramon were like brothers. Ramon, although older than the both of us seemed to have been over at our house all the time when we were younger.
