When I started, it was my first time and I didn't think I would like it but I loved it. The first time was with Ashley. Ashley convinced me that it wasn't bad so we smoked. That was my first time.At least I did it with someone I can trust. Right? Wrong.. We were so high until someone smelled it from next door and called the cops and then we ended up at the police station. She lied and said I made her do it and that I threatened to kill her. So guess who ended up in jail? Me. They gave me 4 years. She never came to visit, never called and rumor was she was going out with another bitch!!! She has the audacity to lie on me and then do this shit. So this is what I decided..... When I got out I was going to kill her. But did I? No. Why? Cause I love her to much. She took my virginity. And someone wouldn't lie on you unless they really loved you. Right? Wrong.. I'm just dumb to the fact that she didn't really care about me.
Life in jail is chaotic and they treat you like
animals. They tell you when to eat, when to go to bed, when to take a shower, when to go to the bathroom and there is no privacy. They treat you like dirt and they don't care about you, they just care about the money! Even though jail is hard to deal with, I had my friends and I had a jail girlfriend. Her name is Keyonia Harris. She was 16 when she got sentenced and now she is 20. We each had four years so when we got out we got to know each other outside of jail.Keyonia was struggling with the lost of her mom and I tried my best to help her. Her mom died 2 years into her sentence. People think if your family members die and you are in jail you can go to their funeral but they are not going to let you go. That is apart of them torturing you. They want you to be sad and angry. They think it's cute. Anyways me and Keyonia went out on a date and I discovered she is really paranoid and I think it's because she let the jail situation get to her. Keyonia is also bipolar like me. One minute she can be happy and the next minute she is yelling. Everybody thinks me and Keyonia would be a cute couple because we have a lot in common. When you see her you see me. We smoke together. We drink together. We party together and we fight together. We are inseparable. Well at least that's what we portrayed to the outside world but it's another story inside the house.
I lost my parents at the age of four and I have been on the streets for 11 years. I have been selling and smoking for 2 years and Keyonia thinks she has it rough. Yes she lost her mom and she couldn't go to her funeral but damn you still have your dad and you don't have to hustle for food and somewhere to stay. I just found a house and it's $2,378 a month. I have to use drug money to pay for it but if she was to get a house she could just ask her dad!! She doesn't appreciate the fact that she has someone who is good and can take care of her. We always fight about this and it's because she is ungrateful.
