#2 :: Royal By Name, Loyal By Blood Pt2.

Ch 11.

TAMARAH
Ima Be Out Sooner Than You Think.

I almost pissed myself when I heard the judge say "No Bail" I couldn't believe it. It was definitely a set up. From the shit that was planted on us, to the judge himself. The whole thing stunk of corruption especially with the judge.

The charges were bogus. They have been trying to get us for years. We were just always two steps ahead. So why they think we would walk with that much drugs on us, I just don't know. On top of that, there were guns in the bag which they linked to an armed robbery where 10 people were killed. I had to laugh when I heard. Armed robbery? They really think we are the modern Bonnie and Clyde.

I refused visits from anyone because I can't stomach saying goodbye. It will just anger me and I will fight these heifers in here, which is already happening.

One fiend is in here and according to her, we are the reasons her life went left. So she decided it would be wise to attack me one day in the yard. The bitch couldn't even fight. All she did was scratch at me. I was so mad because I bruise easy. I knew my face would be a hot mess. But I whooped the bitch's ass real old school. I made a name for myself after I was done with her ass. No other heifer was dumb enough to touch me.

In fact a lot of them came to me for help and advice. I was Mama T in here to them. Respect was given because I never disrespected anyone and I put all the bullies in their damn place. I wasn't trying to make friends in here but the lady I bunked with and the one in the cell next door was who I rolled with. They were the eldest in here and I wasn't far behind them. They were late fifties and doing life. They shared their stories with me and it had me shocked.

I thought Ty and I had seen and been through it all but we really hadn't. We lived a good life. One that I now missed. I missed them all. I tried not to think about them because it brought tears to my eyes and there was no way I was gonna bawl in here.

It also angered me to know that Terrence and my girl Lisa was behind this. Terrence maybe, yeah he was always sneaky and he was definitely salty when Tyrone made me his woman because he liked me. Yeah I knew, but heck Terrence wasn't who I wanted. I needed to see and speak to Lisa. I knew her better than she knows herself and I got knowledge of a few of her secrets that I swore I would take to my grave.

I was doing well just talking to Tony only. He said he had a plan and that we must wait it out until it got taken to court. I wasn't feeling to wait because court would not start for at least another three months. I couldn't wait that long. My daughter was pregnant. Three months was too close to her due date.

We told Tony to keep a tab on the kids because he knows them and to keep in constant contact with Tyrell, but when he CALMLY tells me my daughter went missing last night, I wanted to hurt him. He must have known that I would hit the roof. I decided it was time to make use of the phone for the first time since I had been here.

I phoned every hour on the hour until she picked up and told her to bring her ass on here. I don't know what she was playing at, but I was about to find out. As I walked into the visiting room I saw her facial expression change. I knew it was because of the marks on my face from that bitch. Made me want to whoop her ass all over again. As soon as I sat down, I had to make things clear.

"Don't be fooled. A bitch couldn't fight so she kept scratching my face. You know I don't do scratching so I whooped her ass black and blue. That's why my hands look like that. Don't be worried, everybody knew what time it was once I whooped her ass ain't nobody else mad enough to touch me in here."

I saw her smile and I held her hand.

"Now what's all this about you going missing?" I asked. Tanayah explained to me what happened on the visit yesterday with her pops.

I was pissed at my husband. He can't just drop things like that on someone. He needed to think about how Maine would feel. On top of that he should know Tanayah doesn't really trust those outside the family, so any reason given she won't hesitate to drop you like a fly. I had to clean up the mess my husband had made.

"Honey. If Maine was behind this he would have taken over by now. Also you have this bad habit of making things all about you. Maine has just found out that his parents are the people who put us behind bars. Also from what you said your father ratted out West, so that's another shock for him. He may also think they know about him so he could potentially be at risk or like you say he could fall for them as they are his parents. On top of all of that he has just found out his parents are alive and well and not good people. How do you think that makes him feel? He will have to be the ones to tell his brothers and sister. You should be there supporting him throughout all of this. You are carrying his baby, and now you are not talking. How long will this last? You got yourself a good one there but if you continue pushing him away when he needs you the most, you may lose him. I want my kids to be with the other parent of their child. That's why I'm not too sad that Junior turned out not to be Antwan's.
Go fix this before it's too late. I'ma be out sooner than you think. I promise you."

I squeezed her hand as I finished what I had to say. I know she listened because she didn't move her eyes off mine the whole time.

"Why do I always do this? Why do I always mess up?" She said sadly.

"Look. You mess up but you know where you went wrong. You ain't the only to blame in all of this. He went off at you for no reason. Nevertheless go and make it right."

As I said that the alarm sounded making us know that time was up. We hugged and embraced and I heard her snivel. I wanted to run out the exit with her. As I was taken back to my cell, I was mad all over again. I could not be here for much longer.
