"This shit right here is for life"

"I'm too young I can't"

Narrator POV

A 7 year old Toni walks home from school to a party. It's nothing new to her since this has been happening her whole life. Music blasting, flashing lights, a bunch of men and woman dancing and making out, but the staple of the party is always drugs like lots of drugs plus alcohol. You see Toni was a product of a pimp and a hoe, she wasn't planned and as much as her extended family tried to take custody or tell her parents to clean up their act her mom and dad refused to change their ways. So here she is in a house full of hoes and drunks men watching her dad do coke off two girls tits while her mom is sucking his dick.

Toni POV
I know what you all are thinking, "this isn't a safe environment for a 7 year old" and " I shouldn't have seen that" but hey this is my life and my story so deal with it. I make my way to the kitchen and grab me some snacks and a drink and go to my room, I have to shut my door and lock it or else my dad might try and push one of the hoes in my room "to have fun" but I'm not with all that. I wanna focus on school and not end up like my parents.

The next morning...
I wake up to my dad banging on my door. "Toni wake the fuck up you have school!" "I'm up dad give me a second!" I quickly get up and get ready for school so I won't have to hear anymore screaming, when I'm done I see my dad at the table eating breakfast like he's never ate a day in his life, it's quite funny so I laugh, I'm not alone because he started laughing too, "You know Antoinette you're everything to me, you're my only child, I know I do some fucked up shit but I'm solid and I hold my own." I just look at him, he's right we have a huge house, I always have food to eat, and anything I ask for he gets it for me. "I know dad but what you're doing isn't proper, you could be a doctor or a Lawyer or something like they teach me in school" I don't want to catch my dad dead over all the drugs he does. "Antoinette you're gonna be late for school" my dad says clearly aggravated, "Okay I'll see you after then."

6 years later...{Still Toni's POV}
The bell rings "Schools over!" my friends and I shout, "Hey Tiny you rolling with us to the Whym?" Sweetpea asks me. "Nah not today Sweets I got plans and stop calling me Tiny ain't shit tiny about me but maybe my height" "Whatever you say Tiny and I know it's that little redhead girl that's been occupying all your time" "Whatever Sweets, fuck off" We laugh as we go our separate ways...
"Hey Cher wait up!" I yell as I chase the love of my life, "Toni, hey" Cher says with the cutest smile ever, it makes my heart melt every single time, everything about her is perfect especially those lips they're this beautiful pink and they're plump oh how I just wanna-"Toni are you okay?" She says laughing drawing me out of my thoughts. Oh shit I must've zoned out, "Yes Cher I-I'm great, sorry I just zoned out for a bit" "I know Toni come on hold my hand, my parents won't be home for a while so you and I can hang out" "O-okay I got money so we can go buy a bunch of snacks and then to our secret spot" I say with a cheesy smile "I would love that come on" Cher starts to run and all I can think about is her cute red curls and her loud giggling as we run down the street, I'm so happy right now

Meanwhile...{Antonio's POV}
"Hey babe do you know where Toni is?" "No I don't" "Well did she call? Schools been out and she's not home we need to talk." "No she didn't but you know Toni, she's strong and wherever she is if she's in danger we'll know so relax please" "Alright I will..."
I say dozing off, I was tired anyways. "Antonio wake up your daughter's home" Alexis one of my workers says. "Wait how long have I been asleep?" "I don't know a couple hours" "Tell her I said to meet me in here" "Alright I will also here's the money I made today" "Thank you" I said no emotion in my voice, I'm angry. I see Toni walk in, as much as I hate to admit it she looks and acts just like me. She's nervous, fidgeting, and her hair is a mess but of course like me she's has a bold front on. "ANTOINETTE WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" I shout. "D-dad I was out with friends" "WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE "OUT WITH FRIENDS?" I questioned. "No" she says without looking in my eyes. "Have a seat young lady" "Yes sir." She takes a seat but still won't look up at me. "We need to talk, you're getting older and need to take more responsibility. I've been teaching you the game ever since you can remember, you know by now how it operates. What I'm trying to say is I want you to take my place in this business" She looks up so fast I could've sworn I heard her neck crack. "Wait you want me to become a pimp?" She says confused. "I want you to have money in your pockets" "Dad no I'm too young I can't, what about school?" "I started off when I was you age and so did your grandfather and his dad and so forth. In regards to school you don't need it you're already smart." She starts to get angry. Her face is a bright red and she looks like she's about to blow. "NO!" "I'M NOT GONNA BECOME A PIMP! I WANT MORE FOR MYSELF, I WANT TO FINISH SCHOOL, BECOME A LAWYER, AND PLAY BASKETBALL NOT BE SOME DAMN LOW LIFE PIMP AND END UP LIKE YOU AND MOM!" She says looking directly in my eyes, I can't believe her, who does she think she's talking to? I'm knocked out of my thoughts when I see Antoinette run to her room and hear the lock click. "ANTOINETTE OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!" "NO GO AWAY!" "YOU'RE GONNA COME OUT OF THAT ROOM EVENTUALLY AND WHEN YOU DO I'M GONNA TEAR YOUR ASS UP SO BE FUCKING PREPARED YOU UNGRATEFUL ASS CHILD!" I scream banging on her door. I'm pushed away from the door and before I could even react I realized it's Naomi so I calm down... "Babe what's gotten into you" "It's our daughter she needs to be checked for her fucking attitude and reckless mouth." "Give her some time please then when you two are completely calm you can talk to her" "Okay..."

Toni's POV
How could he even ask me to do that? Become a pimp? That's not me or the path I wanna take at all, I take my two duffel bags out of my closet and pack them with all my clothes. I'm not being ungrateful I just don't want this lifestyle. I wipe my face with the sleeves of my jacket, I hadn't even known I was crying. I will miss my mom and dad but I can't stay here any longer. I wrote my mom and dad a note stating how sorry I am and how much I appreciate all they've done for me to make ends meet then I add how much I love them. Once I was done with all that I threw my bags out my window and grab the stuffed animal my mom got me and my dads ring that he gave to me, it was a family heirloom so I was happy when he gave it to me. I quickly and quietly climb out my window onto the ladder and shut it. I climb all the way down, pick up my bags and load it on my motorcycle my dad got me for my birthday. I roll it all the way down the street before I hop on and take off for me and Cher's secret hide out.

Back to Antonio's POV
"Naomi, come on I got the shit you've been asking for, get all the stuff ready" I say smacking her ass with a smirk "You got it daddy" she says kissing me. Once everything's ready I meet her in our room I tie the string around her arm tight then inject the needle into her, I watch how she smiles and her head falls back, I wanted to have the same feeling she did so I quickly did the same thing to me and the high immediately rushed over me and my head fell back... "Naomi" "Yes baby?" "Do you think I was being too hard on Toni earlier?" "Kinda, I mean this life that we live it's not right and we know Toni never wanted it" "She's smart and knows all the tricks, she's the perfect heir" "She's the only heir babe" "Yeah that too" I say laughing. I grab ahold of her hand and feel as her pulse becomes faint and so does mine. "I love you Naomi" "I love you too Antonio." That's the last thing I remember before everything went black...
