Great Times

“Bam!”
That was the sound of David hitting the car.  David and Pablo were in the middle of a fight, “Abdue Monroe Jr” over Jennifer. David was Jennifer’s boyfriend and they have been going out for over 3 months, but her “Family” isn’t to fond of him. Pablo, Damian, and Brian are all three of Jennifer’s big bothers (her Friends) didn’t like David, and that night it got too out of hand. Pablo was sick of his fresh ways and his random comments. They all were chilling out on the block when David come out  his face.
“Why do you hang out with these people” she asked Jennifer as she took a disappointed look at Pablo who was staring at him.
“Because...” she hesitated “There my friends and I love them” she finally said.
“But they’re so lame!” He said taking a look at the ground
“Shut UP!” Pablo said now standing in front of David.
“What?”
“You herd me Shut up before I cut your skinny ass” Pablo said now frustrated, he face gets flush and red.
“I don’t know who you think you are but I do know you need to fallback and mind your business” David replies.
“No! Who the hell do you think you are nigga” Pablo said putting his hand into a fist.
“Yo we don’t need to do this ya need to stop, please” Jennifer finally said tired of all the fighting standing in between David and Pablo.
“No you need to control your little boyfriend because he’s getting a little to out of hand and I’m going punch him  in his face” Pablo said calming down a little but still yelling.
“Pablo please I’ll take care of it just go sit down and leave it alone”
Pablo didn’t move right away but then tuned around and walked back to sit next to Damian.
“You see I told you they’re lame, they’re like your dogs they do whatever you say”
Pablo stopped put his hand in a tight fist stood up  turned around looked at Damian, he took one step forward and punched David in the face!
Damian stood up took off his jacket and stood next to Pablo as he took another swing at his face hitting him in the eye. David didn’t noticed but let go of Jennifer and swung back missing Pablo but trying to fight back.
“YO!” screamed Jennifer.
They continued taking swings missing and hitting each other in the face.
“Oh...Oh...OH!!!!” Said Willie one of there friends in the background enjoying this.
“Yo stop!!!!” Jennifer said trying to get in the middle, but Damian pulled her back by her waist..
“Let them be” He yelled and that brings us back to the beginning.
“Bam!”
Pablo lifted David off the ground slamming him on top of the car, leaving a dent on the hood.
“OH!!!!!” once again Willie.
David wraps his arm around Pablo holding a tight grip as Pablo is punching him in the ribs, David takes Pablo by the hair and pulls him off.
“My nigga you wanna fight for really so lets go!!!” Said David taking off his stuff and pulling out a knife.
“WHAT...you wanna go..my nigga you don’t scare me” said Pablo doing the same as Brian came with a bat. Damian carried Jennifer into the gate taking Willie with him. He walked out closing it behind him and taking out his knife.
“Three against one bitch ass nigga so lets go” Pablo said swinging for him in the middle of the street. The street was once quiet, but once they come outside its like it disappears, it started to get dark as the fight continued now with Pablo on the ground getting punched in the face, Damian came from behind and kicked David on the side of his head. David fell over and Brian stomped on his chest. This wasn’t to pretty, Jennifer ran out screaming,
“Stop!!!!!! Brian!!!!!” She yelled hitting him in the arm and bending down to see if David was okay. Pablo stood up brushed him self off and just stood there with the side of his face bleeding staring at Jennifer as she picked him up.
“Ya play to much you see” Jennifer said looking up at Pablo
“What, are you kidding me” He replied watching her brush him off. Pablo pulled back Jennifer’s shoulder to turn her around..
“Don’t touch me!” she screamed at him as she walked David up stairs, Pablo’s faced burst into red flames as he turned around and punched the side of a van parked on the curb, he removed his hand started at the dent and walked away furious!
“Yo Pablo” Brain yelled after him but Pablo kept walking ignoring him. Later that night Pablo returned to the block and to Jennifer’s house ringing the door bell. Damian came down the stairs oping the door.
“Yo where you disappeared to?”
“Na.. i just needed to breath, wheres Jennifer? i need tot talk to ha”
“She left...Shes gone”
Pablo’s face was lost in the twilight zone he turned around and sat down on the step in the hall way, think to himself “What did I just do?!”

Intro to Part 2....

Jennifer walked across the street of her old block back to her house, she fixed her duffel bag on her shoulder and walked in front of the house to were she was last. It was August 2, 2010 and the last time she stood in front of the house was when the fight broke out at least a month and a half ago. Jennifer opened the gate and walked in and closed it behind her and rang the door bell, she waited as she saw the light turn on and people coming down the steps. Jennifer hesitated  but stood there with her low cut trues, her belly shirt and some flats. It was cool out side but she seemed to be shaking. The door slowly opened as she saw Willie open the door, he jumped up and rushed to give her a hug.
“JENNY!”

Tunes of Comfort

Music...What is Music? Why do we listen to music? Who knows, well I know. Music comes in many forms, many types and many kinds. Theres metal, Rock, Regethon, hip hop, Jazz, R&B, and more. I don't have a favorite song or artist or genra. But i love music, Music helps me, it finds me when im lost. Whips my tears when i cry and turns my frown into a smile. When the beat hits my ears, and the lyrics flows through my head and repeats it self out of my mouth I disapear, i fly way into a diferent world where im by myself and nothing goes wrong. Music always changes my mood, no matter what song I may be listing to. Because i don't have a favortite I listen to a lot of music, a lot of artist like: Trey Song, Chris Brown,  Aventura, Camila,  Don Omar, Prince Royce, Chino y Nacho, Pitbull, Black Point, Toby Love, Emenime, New Boy, Drake, Marish Carey, Kesha Cole, Nikki Manaji, Biggy, Jay Sean, The Script, Sean Paul, Jordan Sparks, Alica Keys, Daddy Yankee, Leona Lewis, Miley Cyrus, Neyo, New Kids on the Block, and more. One thing I love best about music is singing and dancing along with it. I really enjoy singing, when im in the mood I would just sing non-stop. I don't believe im such a good singer even though i've been told other wise. Singing is what comforts me, Music is there for me I need it. Music starts with a theme, a mood.

Peek of the Night

  Alex, Pablo and Damian walked down the block of Tilden in the peek of the night. The wind lightly blew as they walked up the deserted street. They walked up to the house hands in there pockets and up the stairs to where the music was loud and the people were laughing. Pablo and Damian walked straight into the living room as Alex walked to the back of the house closing the door behind him. He walked down the crowed hallway looking for Nana. He bumped into people and tripped but then he saw her. Her hair out flat and her bangs to the side, she had on a red polo shirt with Blue low cut Levies and black Jordans. He walked quickly to catch her attention as he reached her and touched her arm.
“Hi” he said
“Hey” she said screaming and jumping on him to give him a hug. He spun her around saying...
“Happy Birthday!” He said slowly putting her down, he looked into her eyes as he left flying into the twilight zone. She smiled and started to laugh.
“Where’s the rest of the guys”
“In the living room” He answered as they walked into the living room filled with People dancing, drinking, sitting, and up against the wall talking. They found Pablo and Damian sitting in the corner talking to 2 girls. They walked to the corner passing hundreds of party animals and “Happy Birthdays”
“Hi guys” She said reaching the boys and giving each of them a hug.
“Wassup happy Birthday” said Pablo as he watched the girl he was talking to walk away. They stood there talking as song after song changed people coming and others leaving. They continued to talk about the past and up coming events. The D.J changed the song and Nana jumped up as she put her finger up ignoring Pablo talking and listing carefully  to what the song was. She turned around with a gasp and looked at Pablo he looked away as her eyes turned to look at Alex.
“Lets Dance”  she said
“But--” Alex said as Nana pulled him away from the wall and into the crowed.
She turned around and placed one hand on his shoulder and her other hand was placed in his fingers. He hessitated but placed his hand on her waist guiding her through the beat of the music. Three steps to the left and then to the right, side to side. He then turned her around as she spinned and came back into her place. They Continued to dance the song changed and he moved her closer to his body as they walked around in circles moving their hips side to side. Nana began to laugh as she saw Pablo come in from the side lines and danced by him self with one hand in the air and the other on his stomach. Alex shook his head as he turned her around, she backed up and moved as he placed both hands on her waist. Nana moved her hair back as she bent over a little. she stood back up  against  Alex.
“El tra tra tra tra”
The song continued Nana turned back around now face to face with Alex. Alex pulled her closer to him as his hand guided her lower back. The beat went faster as they followed along their hips moving side to side, as they spinned in circles.  She laughed as Alex Smiled and the song ended. Alex walked back the corner were Pablo and Damian were Smiling at him and leaned on the wall. Pablo and Damian both looked at Alex laughing.
“Shut up!” he said as he glared the other way trying to ignore their laughter.
“Ugh, we know you like her! Just stop being such a little girl and ask her out” said Pablo as he looked at Alex.
“Yea but...who every said she liked me back, we can never be more then just friends” He replied watching Nana dance with another one of her friends at the party. Alex walked away into the crowed and down the hall into one of the bed rooms. He sat there for a while thinking of what to do.
Time had gone by and the house started to get empty, Alex walked out of the room a little worried at the fact that it got a little quite. He walked down the hall past a group of people and into the living room where he found Pablo and Damian in the same spot that he left them but this time with Brian and 2 girls. Alex walked up to them as he cut through there conversation and leaned against the wall.
“Oh wassup, where have you been” Brian said giving Alex a pound.
“Na I’ve been here I just needed to be alone for a while”
“He’s having girlfriend problems” said Damian
“Shut up nigga” Alex said smiling a little
“What ever you know its true” Said Pablo laughing. A Sudden akward silence filled the circle as Alex found the need to look for Nana. He looked around and found her in the corner with what he realized was Robert. He stood up off the wall and  taped Damian on his arm.
“Yo isn’t that Robert over there”
Everyone looked over to the corner.
“Yea so..” Said Pablo carelessly
“What do you mean so.. Where did he come from” He replied Brian smiled as he watched Alex’s  face flush and turn a slight color red.
“I told you you should of mad the move” Pablo said shrugging his shoulders
“UGH! Shut up!!!!”
Alex walled away into the end of the hallway and out the door slamming it behind him. He ran down the stairs and outside where he walked down Tilden.
Nana pushed Robert away from her as she looked to see what had happend, she looked around the living room to see who was missing and saw that Alex was no longer there.
“Brian Wheres Alex?” She asked
“He Left”
“Why?!”
“Not Sure” he replied
Nana Walked out of the coroner and to the door
“Yo where you going” said Robert
“To go get him”
“What?.. No forget him come back over here” He said demanding
She stood there puzzled
“NO! Forget you” she said walking out the door and down the stairs
She walked outside and looked down the hall as she saw Alex walking away
“Yo where you going”
“Home!” he yelled back to her
“Come back here” She said
Alex hessitaited but turned around and walked back to her. When he reached her he didn’t say anything but just stood there.
“Why were you leaving?” She asked
“I Don’t Know”
“Don’t lie to me, you know I don’t like being lied to. Why were you leaving”
“I don’t know I just...” he replied looking down at the ground and then at her
“What happend?” she asked once again
“Nothing!” he said yelling
“Fine then leave..Bye no one wants you here” she said walking away
“I didn’t mean it that way” he said grabbing her arm  
“Whatever Alex... You know you haven’t been the same, like your hiding something from me but...”
“No, its not like that its just-”
“Its just what? What is it, huh what?” She asked cutting him off
“I’m just having a hard time-”
“Look I don’t have time for your excuses-”
Alex sighed as he cut her off , he grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him as the lightly kissed her.
