A year later and I'm now 15 years old, I continue to go to school and now in high school called Compton high, and me and Timbaland are close, he's like my older brother. I was in school walking through the hallways going to my last period

Aaliyah: move people damn!

I finally get to my class

After school...

I was playing street dice then all the sudden someone tapped my shoulder

Timbaland: Aaliyah I needa talk to you

I get up and we start walking

Aaliyah: what's up?

Timbaland: so I know this guy who owns doo to's and he looking for a rapper for his group called world class wrecking crew, wanna try out?

Aaliyah: first of all imma female and you know females got no business in the rap game

Timbaland: come on liyah just try

Aaliyah: I would like to but I already know how it gonna go so no thanks

I turn around and walk away

Timbaland: hold up hold up!

I stop walking and turn around

Aaliyah: what now?

Timbaland: I'm going to doo to's tonight wanna come?

Aaliyah: no cuz I know you want me to come just so I can meet this guy so he can check me out

Timbaland: nah nah come on Aaliyah it's Friday!

Aaliyah: no thanks!

I walk away, I go to my house and did my usual thing I always do when I go there, my chores

Auntie: Aaliyah I need to tell you something..

Aaliyah: what is it?

Auntie: your uncle is sick

Aaliyah: um ok of what?

Auntie: he got some heart disease

Aaliyah: ok

Auntie: ok! Do you not care for your uncle!!?

Aaliyah: why should I? He don't care for me?

She slaps me

Auntie: you stupid girl!! He put a roof over your head and gave you food!!

Aaliyah: rarely gave me any food!!

Auntie : only because you were being a bad girl!!

Aaliyah: just because I didn't want him to fuck me!!

She slaps me again but this time I fall

Auntie: get up!

She pulls my hair and I get up

Auntie: this time I'm going to punish you!!

She takes me to the stove and turns it on

Auntie: give me your hand!!

Aaliyah: no!!

I start crying

Auntie: give it!!

Aaliyah: no please!!

She grabs my arm and I try to pull away then she puts my arm against the flames and my arm starts burning

Aaliyah: ahhh!!!

I yelled in pain

Auntie: this is what hell feels like and your going!!

She lets my hand go

Aaliyah: now go finish your chores!

She goes to her bedroom and closes it, I went to go clean my burn and put a bandage wrap around it and finished my chores

Later that night...

I took a walk around the neighborhood and went to Timbaland's house

Aaliyah: hello Timbaland!??

I knocked on his door

Aaliyah: it's me Aaliyah!

I was about to beep him but then I just remembered he's at doo to's, I walked to the corner store to get some 40

At the store...

Cashier: next!

The Asian cashier looks at me with a surprised face

Cashier; um how old are you..?

Aaliyah: don't matter now scan the 40 so I can leave, my weed dealer Is waiting for me

Cashier: can't do that miss sorry..

I look at her pissed and the next thing you know it I punch her in the face, she then pulls out a gun and I grab the 40 and run, she try's to shoot me but thankfully she misses, after that I went to the weed dealer in the hood and went back home

At home..

I was in my room listening to run-d.m.c and Smoking my joint and I eventually fall asleep..
