Born Into the Thuggg Life

Justice and Celebration

-Mel's P.O.V-

I walked around the yard by myself.Hope went to play basketball.I walked up to this group of females where they were in a circle and one was talking,she looked like she was about my age maybe even younger.I guess she was telling how she get here.She looked crazy as hell.I stood there listening then she looked at me."You're a modol."

Like no duh "Yea and?"

"How you got here?"

I shrugged."A lot of reasons.I killed somebody here and there."

"What set?"

"Why you assuming I'm banging just cause I killed somebody?"

"Because 90% of the killings come from gang related."Some old as woman said.

"I ain't from no set.I killed him because he kidnapped me and tried to rape me.He played me like a fool."I said.

"You ain't got the balls to kill nobody!"The girl said.

I hated when people questioned my authority,I stepped in her face "I can kill your whole family in 2.5 seconds and not look back.I done killed more niggas than you fucked."

"Damn!"A group of women said.

She stepped up to me "What set?!"

"Who you supposed to be?"

She chest bumped me "I said what set?!"

I punched her and she fell.I got on top of her and started beating her in the face and slamming her head into the concrete.The inmates started breaking it up before the security came.When they pulled me off of her I grabbed a hand full of her hair and slung her.They pulled me from the other side of the court."Damn."Was all they said.Hope walked over to me."What happened?"

I pointed to the girl."She was talking shit and bumped me.So we started fighting.She was like what set you from?What set you from?You ain't got the balls to kill nobody and shit."

"So she got mad cause you ain't tell her what set?"

"Yea.Like what the fuck?We don't even gang bang!Its not a set!Its a fucking side for crying out loud!!"

"You fucked up her though!"Hope smirked

I started laughing."She was just working my nerves."

"Look!!Somebody tagging her ass again!"

I looked over there and somebody was beating her again.Hope shook her head.We booth went to play basketball.After our hour was up.We went back to our cells.

"Lopez,August y'all got visitors."The guard said.

We went to the visitation center.I saw momma on the other side of the glass crying.Daddy stood there looking pissed.I sighed and picked up the phone."Hi momma.".

"H-hey baby."She cried harder.

I put the phone down and cried.I hate seeing her cry."I'm sorry momma."

"I-its n-not your f-fault."

"It is.I killed him and got caught.Its Cj here?I wanna apologize that imma miss his graduation."

Daddy called Cj.Momma let him sit down.He picked up the phone "Hey Mel."

"I'm sorry Imma miss your graduation."

He looked around and lowered his voice"Its me and Drey's fault.We didn't get rid of the body properly."

I looked around as well and lowered my voice"I know and I'm beating your ass when I get out.Why of all places?I thought y'all had a place where y'all burried them?"
