"I love starting at my bitch. She gorgeous." Niani sung with a smile as she sat in diamonds passenger seat. Diamond glanced at her.

"Stop cussing your 15." She spoke. "I can do what I want. At least Ian getting locked up at 15." Niani rolled her eyes.

"What's your issue with me? I did the time not you." She spoke and glanced at her sister who looked out the window.

Niani didn't reply as they pulled up to the mall. Diamond mother had asked her to take Niani back to school shopping since she had work.

They hopped out the car and Diamond walked to the entrance with Niani. "Where do you wanna go?" Diamond asked. "You know you don't have to follow me." She spoke.

"Your only 15. Yes I do cuz I'm responsible for you." She spoke. "Stop reminding me how old I am. I'm not finna go kill nobody." She waved her off.

Diamond paused and stared at Niani with a look. The young girl kept walking and diamond shook her head and mumbled something to herself before she began walking.

She followed Niani to the shoe store. She sat down at the bench as her sister walked around.

Her phone vibrated and she seen the call from Marcus. "Hey." She answered the call. "Hey pretty lady. How you been?" He asked.

"Good. You?" She asked. "I'm fine. I was calling to tell you that my aunts in town. She came for you. Just let me know when you can meet with her." He spoke.

"I can meet with her later on today." She spoke. "Like after 5 or something." She spoke. "Alright I'll let her know. You think I could spend time with you after y'all get done?" He asked.

"Yeah. Where you wanna meet?" She asked. "Ion know yet. We'll talk about it later." He spoke.

"Yeah okay. Alright bye." She spoke. "Bye." He hung up. She sat watching as her sister held the shoe in her hand while looking at the worker.

"Hey excuse me."

Diamond turned her head towards the man by the door. He walked over slowly and sat down next to her.

"You the one that was there when I got robbed and shot remember? You were helping me and a nigga snatched you away, you remember that? Cuz imma need you to write a statement or something so the police can catch the nigga." He spoke.

She started to realize that he looked nothing like the man that was shot. But maybe she just forgot what he looked like.

"Um....a statement? N-no that wasn't me. I'm sorry." She shook her head with a small smile. "Nah I'm sure that was you. The tattoos and hair. I'll never forget your face." He spoke.

"Yes...I'm sure it wasn't me, maybe you were hallucinating. I'm sorry sir." She spoke.

He smacked his lips and sighed before looking at her. "I know how it is with the snitch culture bullshit. Just give me a name or something." He begged.

She stared at him. She thought about it and shook her head. "I don't know anything." She spoke.

He nodded and sighed standing up. She watched as he walked away.

Soon a smirking tj walked around the corner with a smile and the dude dapped him up.

She realized that wasn't the man. Tj was testing her like he used to do when she was younger.

Chills ran down her spine thinking about how close she was to saying something. He sat down next to her and smirked.

"Wassup mama." He wrapped his arms around her. "You know daddy still love you right? You just piss me off a lot." He spoke as she stared ahead scared to death.

"You hear me?" He mumbled against her cheek before kissing her face. The throbbing between her legs is what shocked her the most. She shouldn't have still been turned on by him after all he had done to her.

Maybe it was because she hadn't had sexual intercourse in almost 10 years. "I do love you. Don't ever say I don't. I know you still ride for me ain't that right?" He whispered to her.

"Diamond Im ready..."Niani held the bag. "Tj?" She questioned. "Wassup." He smiled dapping her up.

"Hey." She smiled as diamond stood up.

"Tj you gotta go." Diamond spoke as he stood and pulled up his pants.
