Through It All

(Five months later)

Nikki has just moved out my house because her and Saint are forever fighting with each other. For some reason they can't stand each other. At first that maybe they fucked but Nikki nearly took my head off for suggesting that she may have stepped out Rida at any point in their relationship. Speaking of Rida, he and Tony have come out the closet. Ghost doesn't deal with him anymore because he isn't with the gay shit. Rida and Tony are fully out of the drug game. Not many people want to deal with gay dealers. My Poppa hit him off pretty nicely though so I know he is straight, no pun intended. He and Nikki have worked out something for them both to be in the kids' lives. Kayla comes here every weekend while their son goes with him. They both have a weekend a month where they have both kids.

Saint and I are better. Now, that Galaxy is out of our lives for good he has been spending less time in the streets. We are currently in Atlanta visiting his family. I love his family. They are so nice and were very welcoming to both Faith and I. His mom remembered me right away as the little he used to babysit. Right now, he is showing around his city and places he used to go growing up.

"I got jumped into the Mafia right over there near the corner store." He says as he turns left. We drive for a few more minutes before pulling up to this park where there are a lot of niggas playing ball and girls wearing tight to little to no clothing trying to catch a nigga with bands. He parks the car and we get out. He gets Faith out the back seat and holds her. He grabs my hand and all eyes are on us. We just stepped out of a Benz and wearing expensive name brands. He leads us through the crowd to a guy that has nothing but girls around him.

"Is that my nigga Sinner Saint." The guy says getting up and meeting Saint half way

"Hey fool. Momma told me I could catch you out here flashing and shit." They dap up "Dia, this is my brotha Killa. Killa this is my girl Dia and our daughter Faith."

"Where yo ugly ass kidnap them from?" Killa ask

"Shut yo bean head ass up." We all laugh. Killa pulls me into a hug.

"Welcome to the family."

"Thanks." We sit with him and watch people play ball. I am sitting on Saint's lap and Faith is sitting with Killa seems like they having a good ole time. He is surprisingly good with her. He sent all his hoes away. Turns out that Killa, with other local gang leaders, throws this game once a year. Part of their no violence week. They come together and give the best team 50,000 dollars. We were into the game when some girl walks up to where Saint and I were.

"Hey Saint, long time no see." She says bitting her lip.

"Tosha." He says

"How you been? I missed you around here."

"I'm straight."

"So, are you like back, back?"

"Why you even over here?" he asks

"Oh, I get it. You got you a Barbie and don't know nobody anymore."

"You right he doesn't. Now, if you excuse us we are trying to watch the game and you are in our way. He clearly doesn't want to speak to you."

"Bitch, no one was talking you!" she screams

I rise up off his lap and her girls rush to her "Tosha, stop." One says

"Do you know who she is?" the other says.

"Iono, care who she is,"

"Girl, shut up. That's Diamond Santana." The first one speaks up and Tosha's whole face change.
