Keiko pov
Arabian used to always say to me Trusting is the easy part😊 knowing who to trust is hard. Iput my trust into the wrong person. I'll never make that mistake again. I was getting ready to see the lawyer Arabian hired for me.
"Inmate 22724 " the officer called out opening my cell cuffing and escorting me out to get ready to go to my hearing.
"How are yo-"
"cut to the chase what im lookin at" I cut him off
he sighed hard pinching the bridge of his nose before he continued
"15 due 10 if you go to trial"
"10 10 WHAT YEARS" I asked
"yes sir even as a minor conspiracy to commit murder is serious enough but a gun charge on top is more time on probation." he said
"so if i dont go to trial?"
"7 years possibility of parole after 3 "
"so I cant just get probation. I'm a first time offender."
"Yeah but you're being convicted of a class A felony. Conspiracy holds a 4-15 in the state of Illinois. Plus a year of probation" he said
" call my sis yo I'm going to trial"
Arabian Pov
I walked in the house after being dropped off by Legacy.
"Arabian sit down" I turned around to see my grandmother looking angry
"Yeah gramma?" I asked
"so you just popping your sugar bowl for random men now" she yelled
"what no!" I said
"so you gone sit here and tell a story right to my face" she said shaking the shoe she had tightly gripped in her hand
"I'm not lying Gramma"
she slammed down a bunch of pictures of me going into and coming out of the Club
"where'd yo-"
"answer, dont ask" she yelled
"who gave you these"
" the officers that came by looking for you cause your young behind in the club showing yo body to grown men" she yelled
"BIAN" Kanni yelled running in for a hug
"go back in the room" granny yelled throwing the shoe soon as they were backing the room she turned toward me
" You leave and don't ever come back" she said
" but I-"
"BUT IM NOT DONE TALKIN" She yelled" don't bring that Hoe stuff over here don't you bring that in my house. I'm not your mother I'll be damned if you have them thugs around these kids. I'm done."
"Gra-" I started
"You just like your mother you know that. Out here looking for love in these thugs, communicating with the wrong set of lips. It never ends well for girls like you ever." she said disgustedly
" Really. are you serious, never end well for girls like me news flash it didnt start well." i said
"oh please you had the life. you know how many people wish they had a mother, Father, and grandmother. You and them kids had it good, and when things got rough I took y'all in. you and Keiko decided to be some strew ups"
"I gave up my entire life to fix the mistakes that your son and his girlfriend made. I'm up with them 24/7 play mother, father, doctor, nurse, everything, and truth be told shit been hard since I was 7. the only reason you took us in is because you didn't wanna look bad in front of those gossip groupies at yo lil church on the hill. Keep it 100, we don't fit into yo lifestyle and you mad. so excuse me if I'm just try to salvage the last little bit of teenage experience" I yelled
" twins come on " I yelled
" you out yo rabbit ass mind they aint going no where with you" she said
"pssh move around" I mumbled
"GET OUT" she yelled "GO" She yell
"I will let me get my stuff"
"no leave with nothing" She yelled
"ill be damned" I said
"you already are" she said before going in the room and coming back with a duffle bag full of clothes and my other things. already packed "leave before I call the cops" she said throwing the bag at my feet' I grabbed it and headed out the door grabbing my phone to call Legacy when my phone rang.
