Sentenced (Lesbian)

Chapter One

"I'd rather be in the pen than walk the streets as a snitch" ~ Mac Dre

"Tati!....Tati, pigs here, hide the stash" I heard my boyfriend Malik aka Poochie yelled as he peeked out the window of the trap house. I ran over to the table stuffing the coke inside a duffle bag, two packs fell to the floor from the shaking of my hands, I bent to get them and by the time I lifted back up, a red laser was pointed at my head from the backdoor.

"Don't you say a fucking word" Poochie yelled at me as the officer was putting me in handcuffs.

"You have the right to remain silence-"

"Yeah bitch I know my rights" Poochie said interrupting the officer arresting him. They threw both of us in the car together. What went wrong? I shook my head at the thought of us getting caught.

"Aye officer can we stop by Krispy Kream, I know yall like donuts!" Poochie teased the cops. The officer in the passenger side banged the metal see through window that separated us.

"Shut up back there"

"Yeah fuck you too cupcake" Poochie said hitting the window back. I rested my head back and drifted off to sleep, this was going to be a long ride.

The next day I was let out of my jail cell and taken into a room which only had a table and two chairs that sat across each other. A tall white man walked in with a officer and sat down across from me.

"Um you can leave" The man said referring to the officer.

"You sure?"

"Yes, thank you I'll be fine"

"I'll just be right outside" The officer said while he exits the room. The shutting of the door was the only sound that was made for a while. I think he's studying me because he's really staring me down.

"How did such a beautiful girl get mixed up in all this?" He finally asked breaking the silence. I remind silence and shifted awkwardly in my seat adjusting myself.

"Your looking at about 3 years for thief and 2 for drug charges"

"What you mean thief?" I asked raising a eyebrow.

"We got a anonymous call saying that they knew where to find the person who robbed the pharmacy a while back and they said the person would be loaded with drugs"

"And what the fuck that has to do with me?"

"Well, Malik said the drugs and the rubbery was all on you, he was just there as your boyfriend trying to stop you"

"Aint this some shit" I said laying back in my seat, I started laughing at the fact Pooch would do me like this.

"Just tell the truth and admit that the other charges malik received and used you as an alibi was false and Malik goes down for 25 years"

"25?....I...I want a lawyer" I said, I cant give up my boyfriend for five years, especially with his 25 against my 5, maybe less for good behavior.

"Look I understand why you wouldn't want to turn him in but this is your life on the line"

"Mhm Lawyer" I said resting my head on the table. I heard the man get up "you may not listen to me but hear my partner out". He walked out and in came this light skinned woman with crazy hazel eyes. She sat down and crossed her arms on her chest.

"Sad" The woman said shaking her head.

"Hmmph" I said looking up at her.

"I see this all the time, stupid girls taking the blame for their boyfriends who's really just using them, you know he said all this is on you right?"

"And"

"And five years for somebody you didnt do!" The woman yelled slamming her hands on the table. I jumped back startled. The man and the officer from earlier both walked in.

"Its okay" The woman said waving them off, and with that said they turned around and left.

"He would never forgive me, I'd be dead the moment I get released" I said wiping the tears that started to fall from my eyes.

"We can protect you"

"No, let me out of here"

"Think about your family" That's all the woman said and she left. The officer came and escorted me back to my cell and I laid down. A couple minutes later another officer walked up to the cell next to me with keys in one hand and in the other was a this roughed up brown skinned girl, she look no more than 24, she look like she had a long as day. He opened the door and let the girl in and walked out. We began talking about how we got here, she just got back from court, the judge gave her a year for aggravated assault.

"But yeah girl, how many you looking at?" She asked.

"Five but aye the first year will go by fast with you" I said laughing.

"Im sorry ma but with that time they gonna take you up state to the prison"

"You serious?!"

"As a heart attack, I'd be scared going up there, a lot of females in there wouldn't mind tossing yo salad" She joked. I didn't find that shit funny tho, prison aint for me, but I can't snitch, its just five years...just five.
