Just a drabble. Let me know what you think? Thanks.

Maia was born in the slums of New Jersey. Half black, half white. They called her names in the street. She never knew where she belonged. Never seemed to fit in.
Still, life was simple back then. Lazy afternoons playing street hockey. Basketball with the neighborhood boys. They were as rough and tough as she was. She learned quickly the ways of life. Don't mess with people bigger than you. Don't take something that belongs to someone else. Find where you belong. But Maia knew her way around. But, her brother's taunting scared her to death. He was the one thing in her life that was supposed to be safe.
Sometimes, parents didn't turn out okay. Sometimes friends betrayed you. Sometimes boys were jerks. But brothers. Brothers were supposed to pick you up when you fell. To beat up that high school boy who broke your heart. Brothers were supposed to annoy the crap out of you, but still make you love them anyway.
Maia had pretty good parents, pretty good friends. But she had a terrifying brother. Jordan didn't help matters, when he showed up. Sure, he was adorable, with that long dark hair and those bright hazel eyes. He was sweet and innocent and she loved him, almost right away.
That didn't take very long to change. But, by then, the world was already going to hell. Jordy just helped it along.
