The Other Side of Love

Storm Before the Calm.

Aysia Garza as Asia Rodriguez.

I stepped off the train and grabbed my luggage. I walked over to a nearby park and waited for Belle. She said she wouldn't be too long. I looked around and breathed deeply. Memories rushed back to my mind of getting high in this park. Now that I'm sober this side of town does look scary. It's kinda funny. What's even funnier is I'm afraid of the same person I used to be two months ago. As I waited for Belle I contemplated the thought of calling Kaia. I wanted to see her, but I just knew it was too soon. I leaned against the bench. "Ay Ay!!" I jumped up and ran into Isabelle's arm."Bella!!!!" I cried tears of joy I was so happy to see her. "Damn Asia you look amazing girl! Did you go to rehab or get plastic surgery?" I laughed she already starting with the jokes."Girl they fed us damn near 6 times a day." "Haha it did you good. Let's go my house is just right around the corner." She took my suitcase and I threw my bag over my shoulder. Half a block later we were in front of this cute duplex. I walked in and had a seat on the couch. "Would you like a snack?" "Girl yes that train food was not cutting it."
She laughed and went in the kitchen. "Belle I'm gonna grab a shower." She yelled okay from the kitchen. "Put your stuff in the room by the bathroom. It'll be your room. The hallway bathroom belongs to Turq. "
"Oh finally I get to meet him."
She smiled and then I went to put my things up.
The room was decorated like it was his for me. There was a maroon and gray theme. Two of my favorite colors. I smiled at all the pictures that Belle had of her and I. There was pictures of me and my mom too. I hung some of clothes up in the closet and put some away in the dresser. I hang a picture I painted up above my bed. "You painted that?" I turned around and seen Mom. "Yes. It's not finished yet, but at times I think it is."
    "It's lovely Asia." "You look great!" I smiled. "Mom is so nice to see you. I missed you." I embraced her into a long awaited hug. "I missed you too Lucille. So much." "We have so much to get caught up on. The first thing I want to say is I'm sorry."  I looked at her and made a confused facial expression. "What are you sorry for? I'm the one that put the family through so much." She took a seat on the bed. "Baby we left you out there to fend for yourself. You did the best you could. And I think. No I know you did a damn good job." "You did better than I did at your age." I didn't know what to say so I just laid my head in her lap. "I love you too Lucille. I love you too."

Kris Pov-
You have a collect call from 'Will' do you wish to accept the charges? "Yes." "What happened Will?" "I can't talk about that right now. Come bail me out. You know where the money is."
All I heard was a dial tone after her said that. I sighed and tried to wake my girlfriend up. "E? Baby I got a move to make. You coming?"
She nodded and crawled off of me to go get dressed. I took a frustrated breath as I pulled myself to the side of the bed. I got up and went over to my dresser to find something to wear. "Baby here." Erica handed me a green pair of joggers and a black sweater. "We on the south side and I don't want no problems since it's late baby." "I appreciate you looking out. Go roll us one up before we leave." She kissed me then went to the living room.
After I got dressed and I brushed my hair. "Bae where my--" In here on the charger. She brought me my other phone and I called Devil. Gotta let him know his new associate took a fall.

Damien Pov: I just finished meditating when I got a call from Kris saying Willis dumb ass got jammed up. I told him he could go ahead and bail him out. First one always on the house. Street rules. I'm all moved in to my new spot in Destin. I don't lived everywhere except the North. I'm up here right on the college strip. Pushing twink and new strains of weed. Cashing the fuck out. Shi and Car still in the stripping business for me. Just different positions Shi is the manager of my club and Carlee does exclusive dances for celebrity clientele. Or just rich nigahs looking to fuck a bad bitch. Alex and Jamie still fuck with me too. The P was strong on Alexis, but I got her to break down and let me have my way with Jamie. She all out the county trapping for me now. She's a good money maker. As far as Alex. One of my people hired her at this studio and she got her own room. She makes good beats. I tried to turn Jamie into what I wanted Asia to be. It didn't work. I still miss her. I'm getting ready to visit my fam on the West side. They got some pure water down there and I'm glad they hit me up first. Will and I was supposed to go down there today, but since he fucking up I gotta take second in command Floyd. That nigah ducked off for a while. Then he just popped up one day with stacks of cash asking to be down for the cause. He bought in. And I wasn't gone pass that up.
