"Hello can I get a whole case of Black and Milds?" I asked the guy behind the counter at the gas station who looked at me oddly.

"Uh... I'm gonna go to the back and get it." He said before walking off. I did a hand signal, and my friend, Nika, came over and jumped over the counter and began taking out all the money. We also took some snacks and alcoholic beverages and put it in her large purse.

She jumped over the counter just as he was coming back out and he dropped the case and tried to climb over the counter just as we were running out the store.

"Hey get back here!" He yelled.

We ran behind the building and tried to look for a place to run, but it was a dead end.

"They ran back there officers!" The man yelled.

"Shit!" Nika cursed.

"Theres a narrow entry right there just go through it." I told her.

I'm a bigger girl, so I can't get through it, but she can.

"What about you?" She asked.

"I'm good. I'll take one for the team. They not gon give me much time. Just go mami." I told her.

She ran through the narrow entry with the bag of money and I stood behind waiting to be arrested.

"Freeze you're under arrest!" The officer yelled.

"I'm already frozen just cuff me and lets get this over with." I said putting my hands behind my head and leaning against the wall.

He cuffed me and read me my rights while walking me to the police car. Damn. Going to jail again.

2 days later

I stood in court waiting on the judge to sentence me. I was scared it would be more than a year. I've been to jail twice before, but that was when I was a teen. Now I'm grown, so shit gon be way different.

"Karina Cabello, I sentence you to 4 months in Jason County Jail house, then 2 months of community service, and after that a year of probation. Its easy to see you've grown up in the streets and I want to see you do better. You mess up at any point and I'm giving you 5 years of hard time in prison." She said sternly. "You understand?" She raised her brow.

"Yes your honor." I said feeling at ease because it was only 4 months of jail. This would be a breeze.

Or so I thought.

Jail was what anyone would think it is. Bad food, dangerous criminals, fights, lack of freedom and uncomfortable beds. 4 months of that shit is enough to make a bitch wanna do MUCH better.

There was this girl in there covered in tattoos even on her face and had her head shaven. She eyed me everywhere I went and would sit across from me during meals. She never said a word to me, just stared. Another girl came to me to warn me about her.

"She do that with the girls she likes. Don't shower with her, she gon try to fuck." The girl said. "She did fuck me once and she good, but she abusive as shit and gave me this bruise I have right here." She pointed to her leg.

"Damn. I hope she stay away from me. I only got a month left in here and I don't have time to be fighting no crazy bitches." I told her.

Days passed and soon a few weeks went by. I was showering when I heard foot steps come toward me and I was already ready to fight. I had Nika bring me some razor blades and I had one waiting on her.

As soon as she grabbed my hair and pulled me close to her, I took the blade out my mouth and sliced her jaw. She backed up clenching her face as blood poured down her hand. I quickly walked out the shower as she stood in the corner holding her face. I threw the razor in the trash and got dressed.

I calmly walked back to my sell and sat down as if nothing happened.

That last week went pretty well. She ended up going to prison for fighting some other chick and I didn't have to worry about her anymore. I just had to prepare to have my freedom again.
