Yeah we are really close lol. I get up off my bed and open my curtains and look outside. Our neborhood is dangerous and I don't like living here but that's all our parents can afford these days. I sigh as I walk to the bathroom . I do my hyjene routine and I put on my outfit of the dayPut my my hair half up the rest down bc it was nice and straight like in my other picture the last chapter. I put on the necklace in the picture and spray perfume on me . I grab my phone and I read the time it was 1:40 . Danm time went quick . I walk out my room and see my mom in the kitchen. I walk up to her and kiss her on the cheek .
Me: Hey mom
Mom: Hey sweetie where are you going .. no wait let me guess with Jalen have fun
Me: Ok( grabbing the keys and walking out the door )
I unlock my moms car . Yes I drive her car bc I can't afford my own . I start the car and begin to drive to the mall.
At the mall
Jalen P.O.V
I'm at work right now almost off but this morning I had to tell big man I didn't have his money and he made me a deadline or I was crushed. Mann my life is fucked up. I work at foot locker so I was in my uniform and everything. A man walked into the store and asked for my help
Me: May I help you sir
Man: Yes what are those shoes
He pointed at the best shoes in the store there so special there locked in a glass . But it's a lot of money for them shoes .
Me: Those are the special Jordan's you could buy no one has ever brought them yet . One day Imma get them for sure
Man: Danm these joints are tough
Me: Right but the price (half smiling)
Man: Ik right thxs though
Me: My pleasure
I walk away until I see big man walking into the store
Me: Danm (hiding)
I know he going to ask for my help to get shoes Danm.My manger Walter walks up to them
Walter: May I help you today
Big man: We don't need your help we need his (pointing at me)

Walter: Uhh Jalen
Big man : Yeah
Walter: Well Jalen com on
I started to walk slowly and then up to them
Big man: I need you to hook me up with this shoe
Then he started asking for more shoes in more sizes . I come out with like 7 boxes.
Me: Here you go
Big Man: How much ??
Me: Umm .. don't worry bout it I go you
Wtf Imma get in trouble why did I say he can have it for free I'm stupid asf
Big Man: My man ok
As he started walking away with the bags I started getting scared . Then
Beep beep beep. Big man and his friend has a shock face and he got pinned to the wall by police officers.
Walter:I don't appreciate you stealing from my store sir
Big man: Wait no this man right here said I could have them
Me and Walter were standing outside the store with big Man and his friend .
Walter gives me a look and it was serious and at that point I was going to be fired
Walter: Did you say this man could have the shoes (rasing his eyebrow)
I look at big Man and he giving me this serouis look
Me: Uhh uhh No I didn't
Big man gets mad
Big man: You lier I'm coming for you
As the police took him away I took breathe
I walk back into the store and get ready and settled to see my bestie . I change my clothes in the bathroom to a black shirt and some emoji pants . I walk back out and see Jadah in the store waiting for me.
Jalen: Hey bestie (smiling )
Jadah: Hey (giving me a hug)
We walk to the food court and got Chinese food.
Jadah P.O.V
We sit down at two seats and we was sitting across from eachother with our knees touching eachother. I open my box of food and so does he.
Me: So wassup bestie ( putting rice in my mouth )
He looked like he was gully of something
Me: Jalen are you ok (looking worried)
Jalen: Yeah (smiling)
Me: No your not what happend at work
I know Jalen well so I knew something had to happen at work or something
Jalen: I lied about letting big Man have some shoes for free today . I lied to my boss and the police officer so they took him and I was saved but I'm really scared bc big man could kill me I'm in a bad situation I should of just let him pay.
Me: Jalen why would you do that you already know how big man is your in a lot of trouble but I'm here for you no matter what (smiling)
Jalen: Thx Jadah
Me: Always (I held his hand )
We continue eating until I told him to open a fourtine teller . Fourtine tellers in Detroit are you win 2 million dollars .
Jalen: There's no point in even opening it nobody wins
Me: You never know
He looks at the fourtine teller and he opens it and he looks at the numbers and put it in his pocket . we finish eating our food and we decided to go to the park.
