Chapter 1 -Back ground-

Leilani's POV:

* beep beep beep *

I reach over to grab my phone and turn it off. With that I decided to call my mom, she's been in the hospital for the past two weeks. She has cancer. The doctors told us that its not going to be fatal. I kinda hope he's wrong and it is. Even though mom is the last close family I have she's lowkey a shitty person. My dad left when he found out my mom was pregnant. But me and my mom have never seen eye-to-eye, and she can be really abusive at times. She's always doing anything and everything to never come home to see me and to make a few dollars. It's never really affected me. I just take it as a lesson of what I don't want to be. So it's always been Ms. Independent, Ms. I don't give a damn, Ms. Don't give a fuck my whole life and I live by that. It's been that way since I was 5, ever since my older brother died brother died he was 15, she just snapped I guess. I moved to Freeridge when I was 6 and ever since then its always been like this. But the only person that's close to me about anything behind closed doors is Ruby's mom. I had to tell her when she saw the bruises on me back when I was 8. She agreed to not tell anyone and she hasn't and for that I am forever thanful. Since then Ruby's family pretty much came my own. And his mom became my mom. And whenever I needed to stay somewhere because of a fight between me and my "mom". She'd help me make an excuse and I'd stay there for a few days.

I get dressed, just simple sweats and a baggie hoodie. I don't like to flaunt my figure, not that I'm over or under weight it's just my choice one what I wear. But I wouldn't say "I'm confident", or "I'm a boss bitch and like to flaunt my body" I'm just quite. I'm not shy, like I said I don't give a single fuck, I'll call you out any time of the day. I just keep my mouth shut. I like to stay not bothered.

I take one more look at myself in the mirror, I look at my minimal make-up, my glasses and braces. I start making facing and hype myself up for the day you know how it is. I take a deep breath in and let it out. I open the door and walk out. And over course the first thing I see is the chollos across the street.

Santos.

Oh, yeah I forgot to mention that I live across the street from them.

I start walking away from my house with my headphones blasting.

~At lunch~

"Ruby you can't be serious?" I said with some attitude.

"What all I'm saying is that I think my company will get my rich and famous and don't worry when it does I'll except that apology."

"okay but have you even started it?" I said giggling

Our convo got cut short because the rest of the crew came and joined us. I like the crew I do but Ruby and me have always been the closest, regardless of anything, it was me and Ruby, Ruby and me, conjoined at the hip, the half to my whole, anyways you get the picture.

"Hey guys whats up?" Monse asked.

"Nothing much Ruby just has another one of his company ideas." I said taunting him.

"Ruby it's not gonna happen." Monse said.

Cesar and Jamal shook their head in agreement.

"Y'all wanna hang after school?" Jamal asked

"Yea we can call go to my place." said Ruby.

After that we all just talked.

~At Ruby's~

We're all at Ruby's talking about how he just got his own room finally. Me and Ruby were just sitting in his room talking about how were gonna decorate when I get a text from Mouse.

Mouse: Meet me at the old laundry mat at 10.

Me: Okay. What's this about?

Mouse: You got some shit you need to take care of.

Me: Ight. See you then.

As I was shutting my phone off I get caught up in my own thoughts I didn't even realize that Ruby was shouting at me.

"LEILANI!" Ruby shouted which made me jump a little not gonna lie.

"Huh, sorry lost in thought."

"It's okay, your mom doing all right?" he asked concerned and a little upset.

"Yea, they said she should be getting out soon she just wasn't feeling it today." I said looking down at the ground no longer wanting to talk about this and I could tell Ruby could tell just by his body language.

~9 o'clock~

I check the time one last time before going out my back door to hop the fence to an alley way. As I was walking I couldn't help but feel curious of what Mouse needed I told him I didn't to do anything more serious than what I was already doing.

Hey hoes let me know what you think :)))
