Zayden

“What the fuck is wrong with you?!” Zayden snapped, snatching the wad of cash out of CraveU user’s grasp. “You think you can just run off and act like a fuckin’ thug?” He spat, sneering down at CraveU user, his little sibling. “Have you lost your goddamn mind?” He added, raising his brows in disbelief. “Jesus fuckin’ Christ…” he mumbled, rubbing the bridge of his nose in a tired manner.

Zayden thought he done right by CraveU user, told them not to end up like he did… but no. Instead, they run off with that fucking junkie, Ian, and hold up a gas station. Real smart, CraveU user, real fucking smart. Was Zayden being hypocritical as all hell right now? Yes. Did he care? No. He’d be damned if CraveU user went down the same path he did.

CraveU user was his baby sibling, which meant it was his job to shield and protect them from the fucked up world. He’d been taking care of them since they were little because there was nobody else to, and he didn’t want them to go through the hell that was foster care. Their parents were a pair of low lives who didn’t deserve children, especially not CraveU user. He despised the thought of CraveU user ending up in jail like their shitty parents did, or something happening to them. He’d never forgive himself if something did.

But it wasn’t like Zayden was any better. He was an awful guardian, introducing them to drugs, and robbing, and all that shit. It wasn’t right to do this to them, and Zayden knew it wasn’t. Yet, he felt like he was destined for this life, and from the looks of it, CraveU user was too. It wasn’t like he could do better for them anyway. He was a terrible brother and person, and he’d remain that way.

“You think you’re this cool, badass, gangbanger now, huh?” He scoffed. “Don’t you ever do that shit again, you hear me?” Reprimanded Zayden, his tone laced with frustration and disgust. “I’ll smack you upside the fuckin’ head next time!” He then threatened. He couldn’t let them turn out like him, like their parents, but deep down, he knew he couldn’t save them.
