There's death all around... I'm so totally surrounded by it I'm really becoming scared. This morning I went to school to pick up my test grade, and I saw Juanita with Gabby (They're cousinds... Juanita is my best friend, and I knew Gabby since she was little. Her brothers Raymond and Junior used to always stay over my house. Like a big group of best friends).. Both of them looked like total shit, up all night and stressed. Gabby looked like she'd been crying all night long. I went to them and asked what happened, Gabby just held onto me and cried her eyes out... Juanita told me that they killed Gabby's brother Junior... Shot him twice near the groin right in front of my building.
My cousin Ray was with him... He went into shock and just stood there, looking at him. (they ran into the building) My father heard the gunshots and thought they were fireworks going off in the hallway (people do that sometimes) and went to tell them to fuck off... But he saw Jr. There bleeding. He had to grab my cousin and drag him inside, and he was holding Jr, talking to him... My grandmother came out and held him too, they were putting towels over the wound trying to slow down the bleeding. The ambulance took forever, and he bled to death in the hospital. The thing was that when Jr. realized he was bleeding, he panicked and pulled down his pants to see where he got shot... Then his body started shaking, grandma put a towel on him to cover him since there was a lot of people there...
All over something so fucking stupid... Jr. sold pot, and some people think the guys who shot him either shot him because of the competition, or they were trying to rob him... He made his mistakes, but deep down inside he was a nice guy, you know? He was a good friend and stuff... He was always there for me, too... No matter what.
