One Year Later - Present Day -
________________________
In this life ain't no happy endings
Only pure beginnings followed
by years of sinning and fake repentance
The preacher says we were in image of Lord
To which I replied
Are you sure ? Even the murderer ?
Even the whore ?
Even the niggas running through bitches on your ?
With a good girl at home
folding clothes and shit
She losing faith in him and even he knows and shit
Like what the fuck is a break
don't know how much I could take no more
I give you all I got til it ain't no more
No more tears, it's been ten long years
damn near ..
- J. Cole, Runaway

:: Raquel Shears ::
I was going mooohhhddddd in the club tonight. Dancing, body shots, all that. In case y'all didn't know, I'm 20 years old now since a year has went by since the incident .. I cried almost every single day .. Until I stopped on New Years. It's a new year, needed to let go of all of the stress.
The clique/gang split up, we haven't seen each other since the funeral of Sparkle, Jazzie, and Deryck. No more drugs, no more hanging out .. No more gang busts, and no more gang fights and selling drugs to crackheads on the corner.
You can say we changed, but I doubt it because I know the others is still smoking and dealing on their own .. Well not Lauren and Rayan cause thu siblings, they basically stuck to each other's ass. My thoughts were interrupted because some bitch wanna just bump into me and don't even wanna say fucking excuse me or sorry.
"Yo girl.! You can say excuse me thou .." I semi-yelled. She turned around and gave me the stank face. "well bitch, if you wasn't in my fucking way I wouldn't have bumped you now would I ?" She said back.
Hold the fuck up, shawty look madd familiar .."wait, hold up .. Do I know you?" I asked getting closer up her. She backed me up with her hand, I slapped her hand away "don't touch me" ,"No need to get close sweetheart." She rolled her eyes. "Ke-.. Keira?" I asked with my eyes widen. "Yeah, how do you know my-" she cut herself off.
"Oh my tucking gosh .. Raquel??????" She asked with her mouth opened. "Uhh, yeah.! What you think?" I laughed. She dropped her drink on the floor and the glass broke. I can tell she was shocked to see me, she embraced me with a big hug. Yeaaah, she missed me, Lmao.
"Damn, what it's been a year?" she asked.
"Yeah, ever since they died." I looked down, ion care what no one say, I still miss them but we have to move on ya know?
"Yeah I know what you mean .. Well c'mon lets go sit down." She grabbed my hand and led me to the bar, we sat down and started talking. She was telling me how she's been and how's life been treating her.
