Linda jumps back to see Valentin's eyes open

"Linda?"

"Yes, Valentin?"

"Get out of here!"

"But Valentin?"

"Your a whore!! I know your sleeping with him & you just wait till I get my hands on his throat"

"What are you talking about Valentin"

"I know about you & Jay I have always known you think your slick you stupid fucking bitch"

He sits up quickly & snatches a good grip of her hair & punches her directly in the mouth causing her to bleed heavily

He is get up from the bed & charges at him, Linda quickly moves away but Valentin trips her & pulls her to him

She is trying to fight him off when someone knocks him out Linda looks up to see Tyree standing over her & he picks her up taking her into his new Benz

"Thank you so much Ty"

He stays quiet & begins to drive

30 minutes into the drive Linda breaks the silence

"Tyree.."

He grips to the steering wheel then he presses hard on the breaks

He turn to look at his mother, the only woman who loves him in all of his highs & lows

"Do you see why no one wants you around?"

"Tyree he's......."

He puts his finger in the air telling her he wasn't finished

"I don't care anymore you always used that excuse when it comes to Valentin I understand he is my father but your mother & I love you unconditionally, but you continue this act like you love him when it clear you don't. Ma I know you wanna leave your just scared that he will come after you....."

"I just wanna be done with your father he's changed so much.... Since the day I met him"

Linda's memories begin to explain the day what would change her life

Living in old housing projects with nothing but pissy hallways, roaches everywhere, crack pipes in the stairways Linda's neighborhood wasn't the best thing she's ever had but it was she would call home

A young woman just trying to make it some where just graduated high school going off to college soon in the fall but now Linda is gonna enjoy the summer that she has in the palm of her hands

Linda opens the door to see her mother out cold on the floor with a needle near her arm Linda goes to help her up when she opens her eyes pushing her away

"Don't touch I'm fine"

"Mami I was just tryi....."

She slaps Linda across her face knocking her to the floor she looks up at her mother with tears in her eyes holding her cheek

"I am so sick of you after you were born I lost everything my job, my husband MY LIFE"

"So why keep me"

"Child support from your father"

"Your a sorry as excuse for woman"

Linda gets up & goes into her room locking the door behind her she goes into her closet & moves her shoes when she find her small purse filled with hundreds she saved from babysitting job she had done she pack her clothes in a backpack she leaves out the window as she hears her mother bang on her door

As she is walking to her best friend's house when she hears calling her name

"Yo, Linda !!"

She turns her head to see Valentin & everyone knows he is not to be messed with since he is the hottest guy in these street on the come up

"Where you going?"

"To my friend's house"

"Oh ma you good?"

"No, I got into it with my mother"

He notices the bruising on her cheek

"Come with me"

Valentin grabs her hand & she goes with him he puts her in his BMW drivers her to his apartment

"Valentin I shouldn't be here I nee......"

He holds the side of her face his hands kissing her so good making her knees weak, he caught her by surprise he begins to make out with her

He tongue is all over hers then he pulls away

"I want you to be my girl Linda I can take you outta that bullshit you got with ya mom I can take care of you & you won't have to worry about anything I got you"

"But, you have a"

He kisses her so sweetly her other set of lips were singing in her panties, being hottest guy in the streets & having everything she could ever imagine Linda pulled away from his lips & holds on to his hand looking up at him

"I wanna be with you Valentin Rivera & I won't let you go"

Since that day on & 3 children later Linda has never turned her back on Valentin until now

"He used to be so loving & protective of me now it's like I am just personal punching bag I don't wanna feel that way anymore Tyree. I never wanted Peaches to get raped by your father I knew that he was up to something he was always talking about her & when she came over to the house to pick up Natalia he would give her that same look he gave me"

"You should've said something to me I would've handled it, but no you let your jealous ways get the best of you. She didn't deserve any of that"

"I am so sorry Tyree"

Her shame makes her drop her head

"I will accept your apology if you help me take him out"

"You wanna have him killed....."

"I'm tired of him & causing so much fucking drama he's the reason why I ended up getting shot by Jay Jay, Valentin was feeding shit into Jay's head then he transferred all that bullshit into Jay Jay brainwashing him into hating me, Valentin creates nothing but problems so I'ma remove him permanently"
