Aaliyah Dunbar and I attend Booker T Washington Magnet High School in Montgomery Alabama this

on a midsummer day in 2002 after 14 hours of riding on the road to reach Montgomery

truck I see my dad as he stands outside as he knew of our I run up to him and give him a hug

comfort he says to me had my love I have to help your mom move your things I will talk to

soon as we finish as I stepped away from my father I felt it the sweltering tingling

as the heat it was a very drastic change from Michigan California in Ohio

told the South was like that though as I still hear baking in the sun

and I are comes up to me and starts yapping about something irrelevant I didn't look over to her and proceeded to ask

her answer much but he answered it as quickly as I had asked well mom dad and

put much thought or effort into thinking about her answer so I simply not in my head as I

my head I saw a fuzzy and cloud like pictures come into my vision the heat was heavily affecting my

in temperature I then proceeded into the house inside a spot in my granny she was there in the kitchen

in the AC sitting there sipping on Ice Cold Lemonade I don't remember much about the conversation I

to me we were sitting at the table talking with my sister came in she looked as if she were burnt to a

tons of jokes on her just too rough cut feathers my granny didn't ask her if she wanted some lemonade

don't know what happened after that I fell asleep the moment she walked towards the shower though I never knew much of Montgomery
