Our Story

Two years, in the moments that made us

May 2024

The first time you came around

You started hanging around Hydra. Quiet, watching everyone. I didn't know yet that this was the start of everything — I just knew the room felt different when you were in it.

June 12, 2024

The day Eugene called us married

A drive-by ceremony from the Civ Gang. It was supposed to be politics — an arranged thing. Neither of us knew it would be real. It is now. It has been for a long time.

June 27, 2024

The day you evolved

You shot Alana after she came at you on twatter. I said it out loud: Vee evolved this day. I meant every word. You stopped being someone who let the world happen to you.

July 17, 2024

It became official

We made it real on paper. License signed. Not because we had to — because we wanted to.

October 6, 2024

The day you took my name

JJ to Hernandez. In front of a judge. Of all the things you've ever done for me, this one I still think about.

October 14, 2024

You walked away from your whole gang

You left Civ Gang. You came home. I had Hydra ready for you that same day. You never looked back, and I've never stopped being grateful.

November 15, 2024

Lil Vydra, full member

Arnie gave you the name. The whole gang gave you the rank. I just stood there proud as hell.

2025

MOBWIFE

We bought the Thrax together. You picked the plate yourself. I see it parked outside our house and it still gets me every time.

June 12, 2026

Two years

Here we are. You, me, the kids, Mirror Park, the whole life we built out of an arranged drive-by. Happy anniversary, Mrs. Hernandez.

The Woman I Married

A few things I want you to know I noticed

The First Time I Saw You

You were quiet. Standing on the edge of a room full of people who weren't going to make space for you. I made space. You took it. That was the start.

What You Did For Me

You picked up a gun because I asked. You took a bullet from Gigi defending Hydra. You left Civ Gang on October 14th and never even hesitated. People don't do that. You did.

My Partner

You're shy until you're not. Nervous until the trigger pulls. Soft about love and loud about loyalty. The best partner I ever had. The only one I'm keeping.

A Hundred Little Reasons

Things I should say out loud more often

The way you get nervous on every job and do it anyway.

That you love love.

You hate driving, but you'll drive across the city for me.

You walked away from your whole gang for me on October 14th — and never looked back.

You took my name.

You picked up a gun the day you'd had enough.

And a hundred more I haven't written down yet.

Moments

Polaroids from a life I didn't see coming

Gifts For You

Vee,

Two years.

When Eugene called us married, I didn't know what we were signing up for. You were Civ Gang. I was Hydra. It was supposed to be politics.

You shot Alana the next month and I knew. Vee evolved this day, I said. I meant it. You picked up a gun because of me, walked through a war for me, took my name in front of a judge, and walked away from your whole gang and never looked back.

You're my partner. You're the quiet at the end of a loud day. You're the one I come home to and the only one I want to.

Thank you for the last two years, Mrs. Hernandez.

Love you.

— Juan
