Amirahs POV
These last few weeks have been stressful. JB was being held in a cell awaiting his trial. He was going to plead guilty. When LK told me that, my heart shattered. Two years minimum. He hasn't attempted to call me. He just told LK to tell me that he loves me and he didn't want it to be like this. I haven't heard anything else from him.
I'm not going to pretend like I'm not hurt because the truth is I really can't deal. I never realised how attached I had become to him. I should have known this would happen though. I should have trusted my gut to stay away but I just couldn't. I knew he wouldn't allow me to go to his trial so I really didn't know when the next time I would see him was.
It hurts me more that he is the only one inside whilst the other three just enjoy life freely. I try not to think about that because they are my brothers also but I just think it's unfair. Why am I suffering without my boyfriend when they're all on the same ting?
LK had been doing some investigating, he had an insider with the police and he was trying to find out how they got the drop. I believed that it was just a coincidence but LK won't let this go. Me and him have been on better terms lately, he's been really helpful to me these past few weeks. JB possibly going inside hit him hard just like it hit me, we were the two closest to him after all.
Armani has tried to be there for me, all the girls have but I just can't help but feel resentment towards them all. They were all happy in their relationships whilst I was here lonely.
*************
The past few weeks had been rough for the gang. They were all trying to hold themselves together but slowly things were starting to fall apart. JB's pending case was a worry for everyone. Everyone knew the outcome and they knew they couldn't do anything to change it. They were all hoping for a miracle that would not happen. They were all unsuspecting to the eyes that were following them. Little did each of them know that there was a target on their backs. He wouldn't stop until blood was shed.
JB's POV
Amirah. That's all I can think about as I stare at these four walls. I've got to let her go though. That's why I won't allow her to see me and I don't try to speak to her. She deserves better than me. I'm gonna be in here for five years maximum, there's no telling what the judge is gonna give me.
I won't allow her to put her life on hold for someone like me. She's a good girl with her head on straight, she doesn't need a felon like me. When I get out, there's probably no hope for me. What job is gonna want a convicted felon?
I'm gonna have to return to the streets. To be honest, that's the only thing I'm good at. Yeah I'm booksmart but holding a 9-5 was never for me. I wanted to start my own franchise but I guess all of them plans can go down the drain now. All the plans I had for me and Amirah are gonna have to get dashed.
I know she's not gonna be willing to give up on me because she's just like that. She's willing to be my ride or die and never switch up. I don't want that for her though. I'm going to have to make her give up. I don't want to break her heart but I feel as if I've already done so. I can't give her what she wants.
She wants me to be out this life completely but how can I do that now? I'm about to spend at least two years in pen. In that two years she can do so much for herself instead of worrying about holding me down.
I'm pissed I have to let her go because I really don't want her to be with anyone else but I don't think I have a choice here. She deserves better, she always did.

Another few weeks had passed and today was the day of JB's trial. He was still yet to speak to Amirah. LK would be attending the trial and then he would be attending a meeting with his police insider to find out the reason behind all of this.
As JB had plead guilty, the judge sentenced him to two years. LK saw a tear roll down JB's eyes as the judge gave her verdict. LK knew it was because he felt he had let Amirah down. LK himself was hurt, two years was a long time without his brother with him. As he saw the guards take JB away, he wished he could have been the one to get caught. JB didn't deserve this, he thought.
LK's POV
I really have to marinate what my insider just told me. Today has been a mad day and it was just getting madder. I had watched my brother get sent down and now I've been told my ex basically set him up. I don't even know how to process this information.
The girls were going to go after Alina and I couldn't stop them when they hear this. It would be too dangerous for them too, I knew she must be working with people if she pulled this stunt. Is it possible we killed them already? I did get told the case was being built before the Bermondsey drop. Maybe we haven't got anything to worry about for now.
I was still heartbroken over the results today. I knew he was pleading guilty, I just expected a different outcome. Me and JB have been boys for years, we always had each other's backs. That was my right hand, I just feel as if I let him down. It's my ex that put him there and that's because of me.
Bro was finally about to leave the streets and settle down with his one and all that was ruined. I know Amirah doesn't want to blame us but I know she lowkey resents us for not going down with him. I don't even wanna face her today but I'm going to have to. Everyone was at her bit waiting for me to give the verdict. I know everyone was hoping for JB to be coming with me but secretly we all knew it wasn't going to happen.
As I entered the girls' house with the key Armani gave to me, I heard everyone fall silent looking at me. I saw Amirah peer behind me and sigh. "Two years", I whispered to them. Instantly she broke down in tears with the rest of the girls rushing to comfort her. This is the shit I wanted to avoid. Watching her cry made me feel guilty. I looked up at the boys and motioned for them to follow me outside.
" I know who snitched", I told them. I saw their faces twist into angry expressions. "Alina", I mumbled. They seemed to have a mixture of emotions on their face. Anger, confusion and sadness all on their faces. I didn't want them to blame me but I could feel it coming. "If only you had self control, this is your mess bruv", ST kissed his teeth as he scowled at me. "Bro went down for two years all because you can't keep your hoes in check", R1 looked at me in disgust.
I couldn't even bring myself to go back in to the house after that. I needed time alone to sort out my thoughts. I got in my car and just drove.
***************
Oblivious to the car following him, LK continued to drive until he got to his house and parked. Unknown was following behind him and had been trailing him from the courthouse.
