Thugs can love (Completed)

Chapter 1

LatoyaPOV

"Toya," I felt Shad tap me on shoulder. God my back is killing me. "It's a crying shame when I have to start waking you up."

"Shut yo little ass up," I mumbled. No wonder, I crashed on the couch last night. It seems that I'm spending more and more time on the couch these days. I still had my uniform on from last night.

"Come on before we're late."

"You're the only kid I know who WANTS to go to school."

"How else am I going to play in the game Friday night?"

"Okay Mr. Smart ass," I yawned and stretched out.

"Your breath stinks," he said before running to his room.

"You lucky because my foot was gon be all up in that ass." I got up and went into the bathroom to get ready. Excusing the little runt, I had to get a little rude. My name is Latoya Coaxum, I'm 17 and goes to Bluford High School (fake school). I'm 5'5, fuck being short I'm fun sized, I have long really light brown that reaches my butt. I have a light skin complexion with hazel brown eyes. My little brother looked just like me with light brown dreads. I have to admit my baby is so sexy.

Moving on from the pest, we live alone in a two bedroom apartment. We had to move out of our home a couple of months ago because our mom disappeared on us. The fucked up thing about it is I knew it was going to happen. I just hoped my mom would've changed her mind about leaving her kids for a man. But I was wrong. The only good thing she did was leave us her new car and some money in my bank account. It wasn't enough to keep the house so I sold it and bought an apartment.

I'm not going to lie, it's been really hard. I try my best to make sure Shad doesn't want for anything. He's been my rock ever since momma left. He always appreciate what I do for him and never complains if I can't get what he wants. I love the pest more than anything. I did my hygiene thing and got ready for my day.

I stepped out the bathroom and saw my little brother making breakfast. :D it was so sweet and cute. I taught him how to cook when he was ten so he wouldn't have to wait on me or mom to cook. I had to snap a instagram picture. When he wasn't looking I did so. @QueenToya843 look at my heart @QuarterbackShad cookin up in the kitchen #awe #myboy #brothersisterbond

"Whatcha cookin Shad?"

"Grits, eggs, and country sausage." The typical southern breakfast. I hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Ewwe coodies," his ass wan say. He can let all these fast ass girls kiss on him but it becomes a problem when I do it. "You coming to my game Friday right?"

"Wouldn't miss it." We talked and ate. He saw the picture I put on instagram and flipped me the bird. I swear he irks my nerves with his grown ass. "Do that again my foot is really going up your ass." I glance at the time. We should hit the road to avoid traffic. "Come on before we're late." I put the dishes in the dish washer and let it go before we headed out. I stopped at our mail slot to put something in it.

One thing I forgot to mention is I'm a southern country chick. Live in South Carolina all my life, Charleston more specifically. Down here you have to drive everywhere unless you live downtown somewhere. This is why I say we have to avoid traffic. People act like they can't drive down here for real.

I pulled into the school's parking lot next to my best friend, Britt's car. Shad goes to the same school as me. He's in the junior high section while I'm finishing up my senior year. "You got your key right?" I asked him.

"Yup, see you later."

"Hold on." I gave him ten dollars for lunch. "Just find me afterschool if you need more okay?"
