Destined

Epilogue

Kobe's POV

23, never thought I'd end up like this thought.

I fell off of the hope ship a long time ago.
16, to be exact. I lost all trust after that incident.

I packed up my sh*t and went back home.
I stayed with a buddy of mine and went to school with him.

I dropped out in my junior year though.

I started a gang at 20. I called them the Lost and Found because we were all lost, then they found this gang.

This gang is a family. But ain't nobody getting too attached.
Cuz family will turn on you too.
I learned that at the age of eight.

I really didn't think anyone would take me seriously but they did, and now I'm one of the lowkey gang leaders in NYC.

I love it though.

But one thing I don't love, is how Leilani is apart of this.
I was stupid, and the only reason I let her in this gang, was because I knew I could protect her.

I never wanted her life to turn out like this, but I guess she was tired of everything too.

She moved to New York shortly after I did.

I noticed how every time I saw her, she had a new tattoo.

She has seven now, I know that because she told me.

Another thing I don't like about her being here, I have to treat her like I treat every other nigga in this gang.

If that means hitting her for some of the stupid sh*t she does, I do it.
I never want to, but it is what it is.

Because if I didn't, they'd get suspicious, and I can't have that.

I have a meeting today and it's with Alex.
Leilani's uncle, my dads ex best friend.

He told me to bring Leilani and he has two guests for us. I only agreed because he wanted Leilani to go.

I'll be damned if I let her stay at this trap house with all these dudes drooling over her.

She ain't finna be one of their victims.
Not while I'm still alive.

I like how I'm living. I feel important.

That's way better than what I used to feel when I was younger.

Now I'm actually in control of my life.

I'm forever Lost and Found

I honestly feel like this was Destined to happen.

 

Leilani's POV

I honestly never thought I'd end up this way.

I'm now 22 and I'm living life....kind of.

I've gotten into so much bad stuff, if you saw me, you'd probably think I just love to start sh*t. But I don't. It's just how I turned out.
