Jhené

Man I'm so sick of this off brand shit, I thought to myself as I picked at the meat loaf?

I scooted the tray to the side as I sighed in depression.

Where the my life go wrong? When am I getting out of this shit? Where's Aden? Where's Tazz? Where are the people that "care" about me when I need them? Why me?

All these questions, and yet not one answer to them.

All I do is cry, god send me an angel to wipe the tears from my eyes.

I looked up at he ceiling. Mom? If you can hear me help me...

"WILLIAMS!" The officer yelled. I looked up quick, taking me out of my thoughts."GET YOUR THINGS!" she continued. I looked at Miley. Her brows furrowed.

"Don't leave me here alone, Jhené..." She said as she grabbed my hand.

I looked at her and back at the guard. Everyone was just staring at me. I slowly stood up. Is this happening for real? I walked towards the guard until I was pulled back. I looked at a teary eyed Miley. I can't just leave her here by her self. I gripped her hand and walked to the guard. As I was about to walk pass the guard, the guard put her hand on Mileys chest.

"I said Williams..."

"She's just helping me pa--" I was cut off. I fucking hate being cut off.

"I don't give a damn if she's just helping you breathe... She can't go..."

"I said she's coming..." I said as I pulled Miley hard. The guard looked at me then mumbled something in the walky talky. Miley came with me to the cell and helped me pack.

"You got this Mils..."I said as I gripped this bag they gave me to put my stuff in.

"No I don't Jhené!" I can't be in here by myself.

"Listen... Yo--"

"Everdean..." Miley looked up to see a detective. "Miley... Everdean" he continue.

"Yes?" She said nervously.

"I would like to ask you a few questions on the case of Sean Mathews..."

"O-okay" she said putting her hands in her pockets and looking back at me and following him.

I walked the opposite direction, looking back and making eye contact with Miley. I gave her a sly smile as she did the same. I turned back forward and went to the front. I flipped one of my twin braids I had. As I made it to the front I seen Aden, Tazz, and ... Cordell.

"What he doing here?" I asked as soon as I seen him. I mugged the fuck out of him. If looks could kill, I would have slayed his ass.

"Turning himself in..." Aden said not even looking at me. Then I observed Cordell. Damn his dreads uneven. The fuck happen to him?

"Aden..."

"WHAT!?" He said looking at me pissed.

"Sir, were gonna need you to calm down." The lady behind the desk said.

"Imma need you to hurry up and get these pigs down here to collect a murderer! Before I--" he was cut off by the woman.

"Before you what sir!?" She asked rising a brow.

"Ooo she just don't know me..." He said deep laughing a little.

"Um one question..." I said tmreally curiously.

"Yeah?" Tazz asked.

"Just out of curiosity... What's up with..." I pointed at his uneven dreads. "... That..."

"He got a fresh cut... You like it?" He said laughing.

My mouth just hung open. Just then some police officers came in and grabbed Cordell.

"Miley Everdean, free to go..." The fat lady behind the desk spoke into the Walky talky.

As soon as she said that Miley burst through the door and squeezed me. She was crying so hard. I never even heard her cry before. Which made me cry.

[20 minutes later...]

We were finally available to leave. Aden was still pissed. For why?

We got to the car. Me and Miley said in the back as Aden and Tazz sat in the front. The ride so far has been quiet.

"What's wrong with you A-"

"Don't ... Fucking.. Talk... To... Me..." He said quickly.

"Look. I'm sorry for blaming everything on you..."

"..."

"Okay. I'm not gonna kiss your ass for you to talk to me."

"Then don't..."

I sat there speechless. I apoligized., and he's treating me like shit. You know what... I'm done.

"Let me out.."

"Okay, okay everyone calm down" Tazz said trying to calm this down.

"Nah fuck that! LET ME OUT !" I yelled. Aden pulled over. I grabbed my things.

"Jhené just calm down ..."

"Fuck him!" I said as I got out.

"AYE JHENÉ!" Tazz yelled as he got out the car. "Cmon girl... Get back in the car..."

"I'm not gonna just sit here and kiss someone's ass!"

"He's not just someone he is your brother... Fuck kissing ass. Let down your pride and get yo ass back in the car!" He said aggressively. Which was turning me on a little. Lmao. I wanted to say "Yes papi".

Instead, I rolled my eyes and flipped one of my twin braids and got back in the car with arms crossed. Niggas. I looked out the window.

"Aden... Thank you..." I said as I continued to watch the buildings and homes fly past my view.

I admired the neighborhood we were driving through. Kids playing jump rope. Whites and blacks getting along, partying, barbecuing, playing, drinking, dating, etc. Etc. As we kept droving I noticed how things were slowly changing.

Blacks and whites →whites → whites and Mexicans →Mexicans → Mexicans and blacks →blacks.

Gun shots. Prostitution. Strippers. Drug dealers. Police officers. Ambulance. News reporters. Crimes left and right. Damn the life I live in is so damn fucked up. When my life gone start being good though? I looked to my left to see a nervous Miley. She so use to the white neighbor hood, she look like she about to piss her pants. Poor child.
