Down For You ( A Boogie Love Story )

DFY... Pt 8

Alice Pov

I signed as i watch Aleeyah storm out the kitchen. If only she knew what i went through with her father, she would know how mad and upset i am at him. Growing up, me and Tina didn't have a mother or father figure in our life.

We didn't know who our father was either and our mother was on drugs. She would leave us in the house by ourselves for hours. Sometimes days or even weeks and we would go without food. Me and Tina would steal from stores, taking whatever we need to survive.

But one day, normally every week our mom would come back. High as fuck or drunk. She would bring different men around to make money. She would sell her body to make money. You was to think she was making money to feed us, cloth us. No! She use the money on more drugs and liquor.

She even made a deal with a stranger to let him have his way with Tina and he would pay our mom 300$. She took the offer with no hesitation. I felt so bad for Tina. Having to be sold out by your own mother and being raped by a stranger. It scarred her. It truly did. But she stayed strong for me. Being that she was the oldest, she had to take care of me.

My mom had slipped up one day, forgetting to pay back money she owed to a pimp. He came and strangled her to death, right in front of me and Tina. But he didn't care. Come to find out, he was the father of Aleeyah's father ( which is her grandfather ). All this happened when i was 16 and Tina was 18. But she was been on drugs when we was younger, it just gotten worst for us in our teenage years.

The ' pimp ' then took us in his care. We refuse and tried to run away but his men took us in with force. They through us in the black Escalade. I remember it all like singing the National Anthem...

Flashback

Me and Tina sat awkwardly and scared in the back seat of the Escalade. The man or ' pimp ' sat in the passenger seat while one of his men drove. Having another Escalade follow behind us. I held onto Tina as she wrapped her arms around me.

The man would look back at us every now and then, sending creepy grins. It gave me chills down my spine. I was scared...no- Petrified! A girl like me and my sister shouldn't be going through all of this corruption in our early life.

But our mother had to be on drugs. By now, we were on the other side of the Bronx. Where mostly crackheads, murderers, pedophiles, criminals, and most importantly drug lords be at. I've heard a lot of rumors that people were afraid to come on this side of town, knowing its reputation of body counts they found on this side.

We soon pulled to a mansion. It happens to be the only mansion and well built house on this side. They parked the car and me and Tina sat still like mannequins. The man walked to Tina's side and opened the door. We sat still as we watched him watch us. He motion us to come out.

Cautiously Tina slid out slowly. I made sure i stayed close behind her. Once we was out, he closed the door. Causing me to flinch. He smiled at us, showing his gold grills he had at the bottom. Tina scrunched up her face. He motioned us to follow him as he turned around and began walking.

Slowly we walked after. I looked around, seeing guards everywhere with machine guns in their possession. Two men followed behinds into the mansion. It was pearl white inside. I don't think you can see a speck of dust anywhere. It was so clean, you can eat off the floor. The man walked down a hallway where the once white walls turned to a burgundy color.

We came upon a gold door. He twisted the knob and opened the door. Me and Tina slowly walked in, cautiously tho. You gotta be prepared for anything and we learned that along the way. The man walked around the desk, took off his long furr coat, and sat down. He stared at us as we stood there, awkwardly. He motioned towards the two seats in front of him and we slowly walked over to them and sat down.
