Like always, when it was Dreaoodbyes, Drea in the middle of the visitation room She did this all the ti her Loyal ended up leaving, and I knew she did that because she didn’t want us to see her crying My sister wouldn’t dare drop a tear in front of anyone She just never showed any vulnerability, even though I knew that this had to pain her

It was such a struggle to get Dreaot it I strapped her into her booster seat once she had calmed down I knew she would sleep the rest of the drive home, which was cool because I needed the peace and quiet while I thought about whatto be, especially if nant

When I was thirty e to let him that I would be there soon I didn’t want any coa, but because we often had to coeh, it would be Loyal and hiood because it meant that I wouldn’t have to say shit to his ass

Maybe I rong, but I felt like et off scot-free Then again, I just really didn’t know because Loyal was a street bitch, just like our a The shit was done already, though; it was nothing that we could do They handed down her punishh this with her Yeah, physically, I was free, but mentally, I swear I was locked up in that cell with Loyal I’ll never be the same until my sister came home

As I crept up to Chance’s house, I saw hi outside in front of his jeep, with his hands crossed I wouldn’t even lie; Chance was very handsome He had chocolate skin, stood about 6’6”, and he was solid too He rocked a bald head, and he had a nice beard Chance was dressed sie hoodie with black jeans and Timberland boots

He acted like he was holding my sister down, but I knew that behind closed doors, he had to have been dogging Loyal Dream would come back home to me and tellwith enough shit, so even if I found out soa, I didn’t even know if I would tell her because I would hate to hurt her like that

I pulled ht in front of the house, and as I did so, Dreaas and everything, and she had slept through the whole thing I watched her from the rearviewaround to help her out of the car She adored hiood father, and I wasn’t sure why Loyal decided to have me be the one to raise Dreaement was cool

The area that Chance lived in wasn’t good at all, and I really didn’t like bringing Dreahter have a relationship with her father I couldn’t turn my nose up at the projects either because the projects pretty much raised me

“Where are you taking her today?” I asked, sounding like a very overprotective aunt

“Did she eat?” he asked as he grabbed Dream out of her seat

“Just the snacks she had at the prison She hasn’t h

ad a ,” I told him

“Cool We gon’ go soet her so, and then we’ll co,” he told me

“Okay Bye, Dreamy I love you,” I said

“I love you too, Auntie,” she cooed back to me
