Loyalty V/S Love Reloaded

Love Vs. Loyalty

Prologue

Prologue

I should have known this day was coming soon, but as I stand here over this casket being lowered into the ground I am out of tears for her and not in shock by the outcome. Oh, by the way my name is China Peterson, but you can just call me China. I'm from Chicago and I am a fourteen year old stunna and I vow from this day on I will do whatever it takes to not live this poor folks' life forever. The woman whose grave I am standing over is my mother Prencess. Yeah I know what you're thinking and yes Prencess is her government name. My paw paw said when she was born he looked at her and knew she would be his princess so that's what he named her. I'm sure he didn't count on her ending up like this at the age of thirty-one. Over the few days I have been back and forth in my thoughts as to how I got here. How did I become a ward of the state and have no idea where my older and only brother J is? I am quickly brought out of my thoughts as the state caseworker Ms. Annabell grabs my hand letting me know it's time to go. In my emergency hearing the judge decided to put me in an all girls group home in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. I know this sound like a sad ending to a rough childhood and beginning to a life of crime but for me it's a new start, in a sense. I'm too pretty to be leading the life I had when we lived with our mother. I stick out from most girls, I'm far from an average chick. I'm 5'2, a size 7/8, with an already well developing body. I'm mixed with black and Puerto Rican. I have long silky jet black hair that stop right at my shoulders, the type grown women would die for, chinky hazel brown eyes, perfect lips, and creamy butterscotch skin. To add to my perfection I have a perky B cup chest, spreading hips and an ass, that will soon be the cause of car crashes around the hood, sitting perfectly under my tiny waist. I didn't get a lot from my mom but my looks were definitely one thing. I was a younger, fresher version of her. My mom was 5'6, with a butterscotch skin complexion like me but she was only Puerto Rican, and her hair was down her back. She also had the same hazel eyes. In her time she was envied because she was a badd bitch unfortunately she just didn't use it in the right way. My dad was black, I never met him though as a matter fact I don't think she knew exactly who he was. That sounds bad I know but it is what it is. She also had a body most women hated her for. My brother J, short for Japan, is about the same as us he was about 5'9, long black shoulder length hair he kept braided or in a ponytail, same eyes as us, and a somewhat muscular build. The only difference was he had an unmistakably birthmark on the back of his neck. It was the shape of a heart which was where Prencess got his middle name Love. And I know what ya thinking "Really? China and Japan?" But on one of her drunken blackout nights she told us she named us after the two places she'd never get to go now that she had two kids.

We'd always been a sexy family or we had always been before the events of the last four years before her death started taking place. You'll have to excuse me imma talker but back to today. From this day forward I plan to change my luck. I want the life I've always dreamed since I saw my first rap video. It was Lil Kim splashed in Crystals with lots of top shelf drinks around. I want the money, jewels, and clothes I had seen the girls with half my looks in the videos with. Hell, I deserved it! I was headed there and that would be by any means necessary.

Prencess wasn't my best example but I was going to be different. I was going to show Chicago I wasn't just some crack whore's daughter, I was going to become the official Queen of the Chi. Yeah, that sounds like the perfect title for me. I'm going to become wifey to a nigga that can help me gain my rightful title. I was born to have more and I'm gonna make sure it happens. I wasn't blessed with this body and beauty for no reason and I'm gonna use it to get to the top. Now I know after reading this you're interested to know how I got here and where I'm headed. Welp my name is China and this is my story.
