Aubrey always knew how to cheer me up even when I was going through my deepest sorrow, like this one being an example. My train of thoughts was broken when the person increased the volume of the stereo, well; let's just say that my house was now shaking with each booming beat that the heavy song was blasting. My parents! I thought while frowning confusingly. Oh my God! Don't tell me they've gone mad. I hastily rushed out of my bedroom. I literally flew downstairs. The sight shook me. I was jungshook! That's when I recognized the song that was now playing, it was a Jennifer Lopez's song and that too my mom's favorite one. Guess which one?

They didn't sleep around or act crazy. When the neighbors found out what happened to me, they rallied together and organized a fundraiser for me. I didn't have to work three jobs anymore. I slowly learned that real safety didn't come from guns or locked doors. It came from people looking out for each other. In the new neighborhood, Draven made a lot of good friends. He grew brighter and more cheerful every day. The smile came back to his face. As he got better, so did I. What Rina did to us became a wake-up call, a reminder to always hold onto your values and not throw yourself into relationships with just anyone.

Beautiful things are lethal. I squint, peering into eyes of deep, burnished brown that seem to hold a hidden fire within. Flecks of amber dance at the edges, pushing back at the unnerving coldness in them. Thick, black lashes flutter against tanned, golden skin as his gaze narrows at the blood on my flimsy nightdress, and against my better judgement, I blurt, “It isn’t mine.” The man, whom I recognize from yesterday as my neighbor raises his brows as he helps me up to my feet. “Is he dead?”

The arrival of the radio crew felt like a colonial invasion of Tobi’s sanctuary. Nike, the correspondent, was a whirlwind of "Electric Indigo" energy, her bangles clattering like rhythmic gunfire as she directed her sound engineer. The neighborhood had gathered in a tight, expectant semicircle, their whispers creating a low frequency hum that made the air feel thick.

DAVINA “Don’t stand in my way if you don’t know what you want... this girl’s got wings, and she’s aiming for the sky... oh boy, stay out of my way...” I sing softly, humming along to the beat in my headphones as I stroll down the sidewalk. The streets are almost empty at this hour, but I know every inch of this neighborhood, every crack in the pavement, every shadow that creeps in when the sun starts to set. I grew up here. I could be the queen of this place. No one knows these alleys and backstreets better than I do.

Is it love life? I love strumming. I also remembered Papa and Mama. "~Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city. Linger in the corner where the neon signs are pretty. How can you lose?" Mana suddenly interjected and it was her turn to sing the next line. "~The lights are much brighter there. You can forget all your trouble. Forget all your care. So go downtown... Things will be great when you're downtown... No finer place for sure downtown. Everything's waiting for you ..."

I danced and sang along with the music. “Coming home used to feel so good….I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood…I've seen the world at a faster place…And I'm coming now from a different place…Though I may look the same way to you…Underneath there is somebody new…I am not the boy next door…I don't belong like I did before…Nothing ever seems like it used to be…You can have your dreams but you can't have me…Oh, I can't come back there anymore…'Cause I am not the boy next door…You've been saving those souvenirs…Faded photographs from our foolish years…We made plans but they're wearing thin…And they don't work out 'cause I don't fit it…And those memories'll just weigh you down…'Cause I got no pl

Bеfоrе I can raise a соnсеrn, hе goes on. “Once уоu’rе wired up, wе’ll show уоu ѕоmе photos of the реорlе іn Nеоn’ѕ оrgаnіzаtіоn. Shе has a fеw different ѕсоutѕ іn the area."

Lesley's face turned red, and she mumbled, "I... I thought you were Joe. I forgot we switched seats." Her voice grew so soft it was almost inaudible. Thinking about it, I realized she must have mistakenly thought I was Joe, given the position we were in before the switch. That explanation made my earlier thoughts seem much less exciting. I had imagined something more intense happening during this late-night movie with my neighbor's pretty wife. "You and Joe really seem to enjoy pushing boundaries," I said, teasing her. It seemed like she was trying to spice up her love life with Joe by doing such a thing in my presence.
