The Cartel

Ryla

We landed at 9:13, and I was ready to find my bestfriend. I wasn't going to let nothing stop me from stopping her! She needed me, and when my bestfriend said save me so low on the phone I was then shook. Me and King got off the plane into Atlanta airport and from then I started running. King tried to stop me and guards and officers did also but I kept going.

As I kept running I felt an arm pull me back. I turned around to a security guard looking me into my eyes. "Stop running damnit!" He said as he gave me a weird look in my eyes. I felt kind like I knew him, like from my old high school here. He gave me a look that you could never forget.. As if he was the murder type.

"Get your hands off of me! You don't know me!" I spat at him.
"Remember me bitch?!" He shot back.
"Excuse me?" I questioned him.
"I said do you remember me bi-"

As soon as he fixed his mouth to call me a bitch for the SECOND time my hand balled up and socked him right in the mouth. From looking at him I finally knew exactly who he was! When King finally caught up with me he asked why I hit him so I told him. I could see he wanted to beat him right then but we were in a hurry. He just grabbed my hand and and we kept walking.

As we were walking I swore I saw Crystal's brother Xavier. Instead of stopping I just continued to walk by. My thoughts then added up when I saw him so I stopped. "If Xavier is here in the local airport by himself then does he know about Crystal?" I thought to myself.

"What's wrong?" King asked.
"Nothing, I just think that was Crystal's brother back there."
"It may have been, let's go back."

I started to think about the suggestion. For some reason I thought that it may have not been the right thing to do. Since I wasn't sure, I just thought that I would just go.

"Ok, let's go." I said.

We went back but the person who look similar to Xavier wasn't there anymore. I looked everywhere around that specific spot and as far as my eyes could look in that section but he was nowhere to be found.

"Are you sure you seen him or at least someone close to him?" King asked.
"Yes. He was legitimately RIGHT here!"
"Well maybe it wasn't really anyone there and your mind was just playing tricks." He said

I looked at him like he was stupid, I started to slap him but all he needs is someone to just pray for him.

"King you sound stupid right now. My mind doesn't act like yours." I stated.
He laughed "Bye girl." With that he walked off.

We kept walking heading to baggage claim and talked about our kids and random things. We arrived to baggage claim and got our bags. On our way leaving out of the airport to get a rental car across the airport there was "Xavier" again. I took a look at him to make sure I wasn't seeing anything which is what King mentioned. As I looked I stopped but didn't say too much because he was on the phone. I looked once more and it was him.

"She was here, I don't know where she went though." The guy spoke into the phone.
"When I see her again I'll make sure to ask. You know I never talked with them before." He added.

At this point I didn't want to wait any longer so I walked up.

Xavier

I was on the phone with Crystal when some bad ass girl came up to me.

"I gotchu girl, imma holler at you wh-. Aye lemme call you back." I spoke into the phone.
"Wassup mami?" I said with a smirk.
"Umm no, but do happen to be Xavier?" She said to me.
"Well seems like you know who daddy is already baby girl."
"No it's nothing like that, I promise you that. But since you're Xavier where's your sister?"
"Well I have three, which one baby?"
"Listen! I aincha baby, and I'm talking about Crystal! You know who I am, nigga don't play!"

I looked around to make sure no one was watching to see what I was finna do to this bitch. I knew exactly who this bitch was and I wanted to kill her right here with no discussion. Instead I choked her up real fast making her follow me into the bathroom.

We went into the bathroom and I pushed her into a stall locking the door behind us.

"Sooo.. you're Ryla huh? KaeShun and Devin's sister." I asked

She looked at me as if she wanted to do something to me. Before she even thinks about doing ANYTHING I will kill this girl. I slapped her while I had her pinned to the bathroom stall because she didn't answer my question.

"Bitch! Do you hear me talking to you?! Answer the question!"

"Yes, yes I am. What do you want from me? All I'm trying to do is get to my best friend!"

"Best friend? You don't have a best friend. If I kill you before she does you ain't gonna have nobody, just like they're not gonna have you."

I choked her hard as I could while I was speaking to her. I felt her hand grip onto my arms as I was watching her face beg for life not to be taking. I released for 2 seconds and proceeded to tighten both of my hands around her neck. Before I could kill her fast enough I was interrupted by a man who stood about 6'5 covered in tattoos. I kept Ryla neck in my hands but not choking her as I got my gun from my pants.

"You walk up to me and she's dead" I stated firmly.

"Put the gun down my nigga, you ain't about shit. Now you either gonna let my girl go or be shot in yo fucking head." He spat at me.

I chuckled. "Oh, so who are you supposed to be? Are you trynna scare me? Cause it's not working for ya"

Before I knew I had a gun wound in my shoulder. The shot caused me to drop my gun and fall to my knees. I saw Ryla run towards the man that was understood to be her boyfriend as she held her neck gasping for air.

"Both of ya'll ain't about shit." I spat. Just then another shot was sent to my head. I lied in my own puddle of blood slowly dying.

India

Things been different since I moved with my sister and brother-in-law. I feel more free to do whatever as with my dad it was like I was 8 again. Not so much of Chasedy, she was more of the understanding one. I didn't move with Devin or KaeShun because they have their own life. Being that they were still Cali didn't make any difference anyways. I was going to be in the same state, as to where Ryla was moving to Virginia, so I decided to tag along.

As of today I had to keep Jr while Ryla and King take care of some business in Atlanta. I've heard that some girl named Crystal was trying to set this other girl up that was her friend by my friend Xavier. Xavier is Crystals little brother which is my friend. I know of a girl named Crystal that was friends with Ryla before we moved. But I doubt that, that is the same Crystal. I didn't tell Ryla 'cause it was her business, besides, who would try her up like that? She is a cartel.. it's in all of our blood.

Crystal

So yes, it's been a while but I'm back! I haven't spoke to Ryla in over years. After she moved to Virginia and got her life together it's been "fuck me". She was everything I wanted in a bestfriend and now her sister and fiancée is ruining all of our connections. I heard she had a son recently but who cares? She didn't care about me when she was doing whatever she wanted.

When I returned her call for the first time earlier today, I made it seemed like something was really wrong. I just want her to myself so I can I really show her my true colors. I really loved Ryla, but of all, I never thought that my only best friend would betray me. Enough of the sob stories. When I see her, she'll wish she had stayed Virginia.
