Arielle (the girl on the cover)POV
Life has really changed ever since my family and I moved to Atlanta. Leaving my home town was the hardest thing I've done and probably the biggest mistake my mom ever made. Not saying that SHE messed up but moving here change me and my twin brother A LOT. Most people look at Atlanta's tourist attractions but try living there and falling in with the wrong crowd. We didn't intentionally try to hang with the wrong people. We just kind of related with the people that stayed on the other side of town. We lived in "white folk" neighborhood but back home was in the hood.
See we were born and partially raised in Texas. We moved to Atlanta when me and my brother was seven due to a big job promotion for my mom. Back home at such a young age we were very known simply because my dad was a very known drug dealer. Many ask "well how did a very successful young lady end up with someone like that?"....well my mom got pregnant with us at a young age and though they had different mind set they thought that them staying together would benefit us. Like all young parents it starts off good then BOOM couple falls apart. They were the type of couple that loved each other knowing they not good for one another. They love each other so much that they hated each other...which is what I find stupid but its whatever. Growing up in a troubled home was hard. Me and my brother would stay out as long as we could cause as soon as you walk through the door you feel the animosity and you just know they gone end up arguing later. It was really frustrating and irritating at the same time. I could honestly say a lot of my dad's WORK rubbed off on us.
In Atlanta me and my twin was known as TROUBLE. There's no way but our way simple. If its not done that way we gone make somein' shake 1hunnid. That's how we coming and everybody respect that. Yea back home we ran things but its just gotten worse. My mom so says she wants to move back because she wants us to graduate from her high school but we all know the real reason. I always told my moms you can't always run from your problems cause eventually they'll catch up with you in the long run. We'll be waiting on them.....
