As I looked out my window, I couldn't help but wonder why I made the decisions I did.

I wonder what could have been between him and i 10 years ago. Now, here I am. Stuck in the one place I swore up and down I would never end up; broke and alone.

I smiled to myself as I reminisced on the old memories between Tony and I. As I looked out my tiny window that overlooked the sketchy streets of SouthWest Houston.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

~10 years ago~

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP" . Damn this alarm clock!

I lifted my head up, lazily slapping the arm clock with one eye open. I could hardly see due to my thick curly mane tangled around my face.

I groaned as I sat up and started to stare at the walls for a good 5 minutes, only to zombie walk to my bathroom. I did my hygiene thing and walked to my closet. I picked out something simple; a gray and black aztec crop top from Rue21, ripped skinny jeans and my gray combat boots. I grabbed my jean jacket before stopping in front of my full length mirror.

Sorry i haven't introduced myself. My name is Imbrielle (Ella for short) and I'm 17. Im 5'3 with loud curly hair that stops below my shoulder blade. I have a round face with a cute button nose with chubby cheeks. I'm not skinny nor fat so i guess you could say I'm thick. I inherited my thick thighs and hips along with my large breasts from my mama. I'm Native American and African American. I'm originally from Cincinnati, Ohio but I moved to Houston almost 9 years ago with my mama, twin sister Gabrielle (17), and brother Michael (12).

I grabbed my iPhone 5s off the charger grabbing it along with my bag and head phones and walked down stairs. I made my way to the kitchen and poured me some fruity peebles and pouring my silk milk.

I waited patiently ( and i use the word loosely) for my sister to hurry up so we can leave.

"Can you hurry Up Gabby (Short for Gabrielle), dang!" I was getting so freaking agitated.

She finally came down stairs 13 minutes later wearing a lime green halter-top with shorts and her Kd's.

"Yeah, you better be looking bomb as long as it took ya ass to get dressed" i said rolling my eyes. I poured my milk out and washed my dishes as Gabby picked up a Banana eyeing me at the door.

"Uhh, bitch don't jump fly with me. You know I'm cute" she winked with her tongue out.

"Trick you wish, what Ima need for you to do is walk out this door so we won't be late"

With that being said we hopped in the car we shared and drove off to another day at Sharpstown High School.
