Love in Compton(A Straight Outta Compton story)

Something's brewing

It's January 1st, 1989, and I've been here in Compton for 4 months now. Life here is great, but bad at the same time. Walking outside my door and I see crack pipes everywhere, Bloods marking territory by whoopin more ass with other gangs, and the moment I kept walking over to the studio to meet the guys, I hear a gunshot. Thank God it wasn't me that got shot, but sadly it was some woman's 8-year old son, who got shot by a blood, because the kid was wearing a blue shirt. Now I see why everyone doesn't like being here. This shit ruthless.

"Aye Cube, hit that one line again, but this time hit it hard." Says Dre. "What line, Dre?" Cube asked, putting his headphones on. "Where you say, 'I'm the type of nigga that's built to last, if you fuck with me, I'll put my foot in ya ass'." He nods and goes back to hit the lines hard for another time. "I'm the type of nigga that's built to last! If you fuck with me I'll put my foot in ya ass!" Cube says in the mic, and dancing a bit when he was hearing the chorus. Dre stops the record and laughs and smiles. "Yes Cube! Nigga that's what I'm talking about!" He claps his hands and gets up to get a donut to eat. Cube smiles back, but smiles harder since he sees me walk through the door.  "Well hey y'all, what yall niggas up to?" I ask while I sit down and drink some of Cube's cherry slushie. "Well we just finishing the touches on our album. Jerry told us that we should before we start selling it." Dre said with his mouth full of donut. I laugh, and see Cube walk out the studio, and wraps his arms around my waist, while he has me sitting on his lap. "Yeah, and baby I'm telling you our debut album is gonna be dope, everyone will be- wait, you drinking my slushie?" He raises his eyebrow and looks at me. I laugh and flip my hair. "Why? I thought you like my lips on your stuff, especially when...I gave you that sloppy head and I had on my red lipstick." I whisper in his ear, and gently bit it. He smiles and bites his lip and gives me a sensual look. "Aight, aight I admit that...I love your lips on my shit, okay?" He laughs and takes his slushie back. I playfully punch him in his chest and got up off his lap. "Yeah, and that big ass looking nice. I'm happy to say that it's mine!" Cube said to me, while I walk away and he slaps it, hard. "Cube! The fuck was that for? Not in front of the boys, remember?" I look up at him and he laughs. "Aye I can't help it, it's just so big I can't help but to-" "Look, I don't mean to interrupt you and Cube talking about when y'all finna fuck later, but we gotta get ready to finish this up and Eazy has to do his single on the track." Dre taps Cube on his shoulder and sits back down to think of more beats to do. Meanwhile we see that Yella, Ren and Eazy came just in time to do his verse and get this song done. "Well, well, well...if it ain't Cube and Elise. Y'all are the best lightskin couple ever! I mean I have to say that because you know, Yella can't get no bitches." Eazy says, looking at Yella and laughs. Yella gets upset and looks at him and says, "Aye E, I can get bitches...if I want to." He pouts and sits down. "Right, if you want to, which implies to all of us that no hoes want you, and that's okay." Yella rolls his eyes and sits back in the chair, and mumbles under his breath. Dre on the other hand was ready to finish this track and give the songs to Jerry, so that way their album can come out. "Y'all niggas play to damn much. Let's get done with this song, so Jerry can put our album out, alright?" All the guys mumble, "yeah alright" and got back to work.

2 weeks later...

It's been two weeks and it's junior year and I'm ready to be a senior, the single "Straight Outta Compton" is supposed to make a video today after school so Cube and I have to leave early. I'm walking out of school with Cube, while he's holding my books and we talked about American History with the fact that he has to shoot the video today. "So baby, you wanna come to the video shoot today? If you don't I understand and you can just be at my house. When I come back, I wanna see you on my bed, wearing my gold chain, with some glasses on, and you wearing your bra and thong, with the history book open." I laugh and shake my head, looking at him like he's crazy. "You know damn well your mom would throw me out!" "Yeah you're right, but I am serious about you coming over and help me with American history because I don't get what we're talking about now. Besides, I see you getting A's on your history quizzes and tests. My baby is smart, ain't she?" I get on the bus and sit by Cube and laugh. "I'm just a history nerd, Cube. That's all it is." I lay my head on his shoulder, while he plays with my hair and my favorite doorknocker earrings. "Stop playing with my earrings, Cube." He looks and sees I was having a bad day. So he kissed my forehead and cheek, holds my hand and puts my backpack over his lap, and still holds my books. "You on your period, sweetheart?" When he asked me, I look up at him and nod then goes back to sleep. Cube pouts and rubs my little tummy and wrote more lyrics in his notebook.

South Central L.A, 7:30PM

It's 7:30, and we're doing the video for "Straight Outta Compton" and I have to admit, the video is looking GREAT! I'm sitting here behind the camera man, drinking some sprite and just watching all the guys do their thing with this video. "And...CUT! Great job you guys with this entire video, it's a work of art!" Yells the director happily and claps his hands. All the guys smile and laugh, giving everyone handshakes. "Now, on top of the video going to be a success but, you guys will be going on tour starting NEXT WEEK! Isn't that great?" I get up and walk over to the director. "Tim, you serious? NWA is going out on tour?" He looks at me and nods. "Of course they are. Jerry told me that they will! I mean, with the guys having their debut album sell over a million records, and having 'Fuck the police' as the hit single? Oh hell yeah, the guys are going on tour." Cube walks over and hugs me tight, and I hugged back, then I looked at him weird a little. "Baby, what you hugging me so tight for? Of course I don't mind that you are, but why?" He smiles and rubbed my belly. "We're going on tour, Elise! This is our big break! Besides, when we go on tour, I want you to come with us!" I started getting cold, so I put on his raiders jacket and sit down with him. "Cube, I don't know...not that I don't wanna be with you but on tour? I just don't-" "Elise, it will be fun. Come on, babe. This is our big break! I want to share it with you." He kisses me and I look deeply in his warm brown eyes, while he does the same with me. "You really want me to come with you on tour?" He gives me a puppy dog face and nods. I kiss him and laugh, telling him, "of course I'll come with y'all!" Cube jumps up and smiles, carrying me bridal style over to the rest of the guys. "Looks like my girl is gonna be with us on our tour you guys!" He yells. Now that all of us are excited, we all went home and now started planning. Now this tour life will really be different!
