Trill POV
I gathered all my workers in for a meeting. We'd worked out the lies Charlotte had spoke and so now everyone was clear. Except for me and Smoke . I havent seen him since the day he moved out. As everyone was settled in I cleared my throat to speak.
"I'm leaving Central Shooters." They started mumbling. "The struggle has been very real for me and what just happened a few days ago... I just can't do this anymore. But I am proud to announce SriKo is gone for good. Any comments ? Questions?"
"Yeah uh," Reggie starts "What're we gonna do ?"
I bit my lip and shrugged, "if you wanna stay you can stay but I'm leaving."
"So who will be your replacement?" Hazel asks.
"That's a good question. I've been watching all of you and I honestly think the new boss of Central Shooters should be Reginald." Reggie's eyes lit up and he grinned hard. I heard a few people smack their lips but they'll get over it.
"Reggie do you think you can handle it?"
"Yeah Trill."
"And whenever I'm in need of a joint imma come to you, aight?"
"Aight B."

I had nothing to do since now im out of a job. I took this free time to try and get myself together. The fall breeze blew through my hair as I walked the streets of my town.
A few times I passed by drug addicts and alcoholics begging for money. I ain't carry much money with me so I aint give em none. I turned the corner down by McDonald's and continued to look down at my shoes. Not realizing I was coming closer and closer to a pedestrian. I accidentally bumped into them.
"Oops . My bad." I say tryna look at their face. And judging by their stance I realized it was Smoke. "Oh Smoke. Its you."
He mugged me and shoved by me.
"Smoke please don't ignore me." I cried.
He kept walking but I caught up with him.
"Smoke you have to believe me when I say I did not know . What happened is in the past. We can overcome this if we just work it out . Please."
"Princess if you don't leave me the hell alone."
"No Solomon," he turned around and came close to me, " I refuse to leave you alone. I... I love you. And I don't know what I'all do if I lose you. You're my first love and want to be with you forever."
He grinned, "You were my first love too. Like I said , Love hurts. But this isn't the first time a bitch has hurt me."
Bitch ?
I've done got so caught up in the Princess phase I forgot who the hell I was. It seems like Smoke had forgotten as well. All my anger built up and I went off going after Smoke. I ran up on him and began throwing hits to his upper level.
"I'm not a bitch and its not entirely my fault you went to jail!" I shouted while fighting.
"Get the fuck off of me ho!"
"NIGGA IM NOT A HO!"
He finally got a hold of my fist and he tightened his grip around the both of em. And his eyes turned that scary black again.
"TRILL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
"WELL FIRST OFF MY DADDY GOT SHOT AND KILLED IN A DRIVE BY, THEN MY MAMA GOT A NEW NIGGA WHO WAS CLOSE TO MY AGE and WAS A PERVERT. THEN MY MAMA TURNED TO CRACK AND BECAME A DOPE FIEND . AND SRIKO GOT ME PREGNANT BUT MY ABUSIVE STEP DAD BEAT ME AND KILLED IT. THEN HE TRIED TO RAPE ME AND INSTEAD OF ME TRYNA SCARE HIM OFF WITH A GUN I SHOT MY MAMA INSTEAD. SO I RAN AWAY. AND I TURNED TO THE STREETS! AND THAT DIDNT DK ANH GOOD BECAUSE NIGGAS KEPT RIPPING ME OFF AND PLAYING WITH MY DRUGS. Then you came along and you made me feel ... safe and protected. But then SriKo and Jody found me and Charlotte gave me away! And ... Now you're leaving me because of what you did to Bam and now I can't feel protected anymore." I was now bawling in tears. "I can't pretend to be all tough for so long. There's so much shit going on and all I do is pretend it doesn't hurt so I won't sound like a pussy. Smoke please ... I-I need you ." my cheeks were hot and soaked from the tears i sheded.
"Trill I wanna help- "
"And you'd promised me you would help. Remember ?"
"Maybe."
"Smoke do you love me ?" He stared at me tryna read something. "Do you?"
"I don't know."
"Think about like this. How would you feel if you seen me holding hands with another nigga and a child in my arms? And be honest."
"I'a feel stupid for ever wasting my time with you if you were gonna go to some other nigga in the end."
I sighed and wiped my eyes. "Okay. Well how would you feel if you found out he was actually beating me and forcing me to raise his child."
"Mad as fuck. Because that could've been me and I wouldn't beat on you - we'a raise that child together."
"But, you hit me."
"I know and I apologize. I was angry."
"So we cool? Can I have my baby back?"
"I do miss you." I smiled and gave him a hug. Being in his embrace again made my heart jump. I love this man and I can't help but love him.

Smoke POV
Bae and I sat in the living room watching a movie , you know just letting time pass by. I looked up and it was going on 2:00 in the morning.
"Trill it be bout that time we go to sleep."
"We can sleep right here."
"Yeah but the bed is more comfortable."
"Awe I see. You'd rather lay in bed than lay with me." She joked
"Well it all depends on where we're laying at. I prefer a bed."
She rolled her eyes and laugh. We both stood up and stretches, and during then there was a bang on the door.
"Who could that be at 2:03 am?" Trill says going towards the door.
"Oh trill there's something I should tell you."
I followed her and when she opened the door we came face to face with the police.
"Is there a problem officer?"
"I'm looking for a Princess Hammond. Are you her ma'am?"
"Uh..." The officer looked down at a picture in his hand a back up at Trill.
Then he said into his walky talky "Yup I found her. Ms Hammond you're under arrest for the murder of Penelope Branch (Trill's mother) , Bionca McGraw, Jody Garcia, Charlotte Hill, SriKo Gonzalez. Selling illegal drugs and consoling weapons that are not in your name. You're coming with me." The officer immediately began putting handcuffs around her wrists as she did not even put up a fight.
"Smoke ? What's going on?"
"This is what I had to tell you. As revenge I sorta kinda snitched on you."
"Solomon Paige you son of a - "
"You have the right to remain silent." The officer threw her in the back of his car and she glared at me."
"I'm sorry Trill. I promise imma getchu outta this!"
"FUCK YOU SMOKE ! I WISH I'D NEVER MET YOU!"
And then they pulled off.
Shit, I gotta call some people.
