Dave and DC

I don't like being pushed into something. I don't like being told what to do. But Pops gonna kill me if I don't help Dave. Dave is my younger brother from another mother. He's fine at one time then the next he is getting into trouble. Pops would say DC that's how you were when you were growing up. You were hard. You were tough. Can't you show Dave some compassion. Yeah that's my name don't wear it out DC. My father named me after the place he met my mother. He was feeling the cool vibes of DC and chilling with his Hip Hop friends. He was planning to become a rapper until he met that fine woman, Mom. She was Hip Hopping and wild. And Pops knew it. She gave him something he could feel and that's how I was born. To make a long story short, Mom left him. Pops kept drinking and hanging out with wild women. Grandpa helped Pops to get back on with his life. And Grandpa help raised me. He was loving and kind. And occasionally funny because he would show me that he still got it. At Grandpa's funeral Pops promised me that if I live with him and do what's right that he would do exactly what Grandpa did for him. Pops even pinky swear because I was little back then.

As time passed, Pops heard from Mom. Mom told Pops that she left him pregnant and that's how Dave was born. Dave was born in another city and was raised by another father. Mom seemed desperate because Dave found out that his father was not his father. So she immediately called Pops because she heard from family that he sobered up and did a great job taking care of me. Pops heard that she was hurting in and out of relationships. And he was hurt deeply when she married. Pops gave his word to her. And told her to stop crying and that he forgives her. I don't know how Pops could do that after all she's done. Mom care nothing about me. She left Pops on his own. Pops did say that he had a thing for young woman and he admitted that Mom could of been a little young for him. Pops tried to explain to me and I walked out on him saying Just what she did to us. Pops tried to hold back tears because his family was not what he wanted it to be. After sometime, Pops and I went to the movies, and it was a great weekend. Pops reintroduced Mom. I gave an mean ass look. And Pops did not notice at first then he notice and bow his head saying Son DC there is gonna be a time where you need your family. You keep playing these games. Acting like you bad and nobody can take you out. I could almost swear that something is gonna happen. Remember it took both of us your Mom and me to give birth to you. And I never loved a woman the way I loved your Mom." Then he left. I stood and found some friends. My friends invited me to a party.

It's hard with a loving father to get up the nerves to ask if you can go to a party. Especially with a concerned parent like Pops. It took hours of talking. I mean I was ready to tap out when Pops throw a fast one on me. Pops said if I be home on time and go with him to see Mom and my brother Dave then you will let me go. After all I am about 18 years old. And so I agreed.

The party was popping. The party was flavorful. All these sexy ladies and doing you know what. I was loving myself with more than one hottie. And my friends were drinking and smoking weed. The ladies got a little fisky and found my cash. And my friends saw it and they begin to huddle. The ladies were asking for a lap dance but then came this beautiful one, all curvy and wearing something hot and pretty like a flower and finer than wine. I dropped all the ladies to get with her. Just when we are getting it on in the room. My friends came in and threw out the girl. They were asking where I got the money from. I told them I work. And they got aggressive and punch me a couple of times then they wanted to throw me out a window. I cried many times saying cool its mine. And over the trauma I passed out. The Cops came and rescue me. Pops regretfully, he was crying in the hospital and he was waiting for DC to recover. Pops is with Dave and Mom too. Pops repeating to himself, I should have never let him go to that party. Mom escort Pops out and she tries to calm him down. Dave lean over and says, So you are my brother. I heard so many great things about you. Yeah we look alike except I ain't got blood all over me. I thought you were smart. Why did you go? DC, DC you hear me. And DC woke up saying Who are you? Dave said I'm your little brother. You are suppose to be my role model. Why did you do this? Why are you angry with Mom? DC said Look little bro I was abandon by Mom. Pops raised me with Grandpa.... Did Mom say I am suppose to be your role model? Dave said Yeah I always wanted to know Pops. But we brothers got to stick together. After all we came from the same tree and root. DC said You smart, I mean you sound smart maybe a little brother ain't so bad. You okay in my books, Dave. The brothers hugged. And Mom and Pops saw outside the door and Mom kiss Pops.
