"Yea this my auntie Carmella place, they originally from Mexico, but you know how everybody comes here for new life" I said as we walked around the backyard
"Mexico just wasn't good enough?" Geo asked me
I shrugged, "it is, just needed a luh fixing at the time. Her uncle wanted her to live in the US so that she could get married to a rich man and get that mula" I said
He smiled. We were in my auntie's garden. It was huge and beautiful, the bright sun was going to set soon but I had to come out here with Geo just to reminise it all. We actually originally came to walk, then Geo being Geo needed to get a flick then sooner or later we started walking around and then spoke.
"She got here lived in this group home of some sort--"
"How old was she?"
I closed one eye thinking, "maybe 18 or 19" I said in a shrug
He nodded, "she started messing with the wrong people met a guy while at it, Jermaine." I giggled, "his friends called him Squash believe it or not and it was cause whatever beef he had with someone he'd always squash it and it wasn't cause he wanted too. But because my auntie Carmella. See before they got together, Jermaine was just that nigga. Focused on working these LA streets and that's it. Sure he has a girl here and there but they were never serious, he gets with Carmella and that's when he wants to be the nice guy."
"Time passes, they locked in and secluded. Carmella and her uncle always stayed in contact always--"
"What side of your family" he asked
"Mom's side" I said, then I nodded to my own answer as I thought back, "this is my mom's side and it's my grandfather's half sister, so she's technically my great auntie but you get it"
He nodded
"So one day uncle comes thru sees who his niece is with and is immediately upset."
"What cause Jermaine's black?"
I frowned shaking my head, "no it was cause of the shit Jermaine was about. Carmella Mexican with Jamaican and Dominican already in her considering my great grandfather was her father. He was one of those and to be real withchu we already had that in our family we did not need anymore, because that's just gonna make shit in the family a lot more fucked."
"Whatchu mean?" Geo asked
I shook my head, "I'll explain it another time" I said
"So back to Jermaine and Carmella. She didn't care what the uncle had to say she stuck with her ride or die, the uncle was pissed but it was like man fuck what you gotta say this is how ima live my life. Right?" I asked Geo
He nodded then took a seat on the swingy chair.
"You tired?" I asked forgetting all about his foot
He nodded, "You could continue though" I nodded
"So! Carmella ends up HUSTLIN wit Jermaine and she starts getting good at that shit like really good. She kinda already knew shit about that life befo' she even got wit Jermaine, but anyway she a big help, she was like a good girl gone bad. She went from being the silent one to the one with the other niggas girlfriends talkin and plannin' with them. They were a fucking threat to this rival they had."
It got silent as sirens from afar echoed,
"Shit started getting bad though, if there's a rival and you pissing em off they obviously fightin' back ya heard?" Geo nodded
"I think two people from their gang died. I know one was a guy and the other was a girl--"
"Wait what happened with the uncle" geo asked me
