[Kaydin POV:]
After I got off work it was 11 pm and I was extremely tired so I went home and went to sleep.
*The Next Day.*
I woke up to a loud noise at about 4 in the morning. I ran to my brothers room to see if he heard it too.
"Hey PJ did you hear that?"
"Yeah. It's Ma and Dad again."
"Oh okay. You mind if I chill in here with you until they done?"
"Nah. Go ahead."
"What they arguing about this time?"
"Man I don't know. Something about how Dad always gone and never bringing home any money for us or some shit like that."
"Man I'm so sick of this crap."
"You ain't the only one lil sis."
My mom and dad been together for about 25 years and I'm pretty sure their sick of each other. I mean my dad is always gone and when he do come home, they arguing all day long. That's why I'm glad I got school and basketball. To take my mind off things and yes I hoop.

I hoop for Monroe August High School. Go Lady Horns. But my mom never seen me hoop before. She got a 8 to 8 job and almost never home when I am. Every now and then she gets an off day but then she right back at it. Me and my daddy been pretty close. He always call me baby girl even though I'm graduating pretty soon. He promised he would take me shopping the week of graduation so his "baby girl can look her best and make daddy proud". I guess daddy.

By the time they stopped arguing it was time for me to get dressed. I tried to hurry back to my room without being seen cause I didn't want to encounter all that awkwardness. When I got to my room, I took a shower and put on some camouflage pants, a white v neck, and my light brown Timbs. I left my hair down since it was already naturally curly.

I called April up and told her to be ready in 10. She my other half so yes I pick her up every morning. I got to her house in the amount of time I said and we drove to school. Since we got there early and everyone was in the cafeteria, we decided to go to the library and chill. No one hardly goes in there anyways. Only the couples who want to have a pre-school make out session. Quite frankly, I'm not worried about all this lovely dovey bs. I'm just trying to hoop and make cake. Me and April sat in the library for about 10 min when the bell rang. Time to start this day.

[Kaydin's dad (Josh) POV:]

Man I'm so sick of Nancy's (Kaydin's mom) crap. But God knows I'll do anything to keep her. I love that woman to the moon and back and back again. Yes I'm always gone but I make money when i am. If she only knew.

I do have a good job at a lawfirm, but I have another job too. You can say it's more of an hustle type of deal. I sell drugs. I know it's illegal, but a nigga gotta support his family. I got some lil homies who out on "business" trips for me. Everybody know how J-dub roll. Yes that's my street name. J-dub to my people. Right now I'm at my trap house with some of my dealers.
"Aye J-dub you got someone at the door."
"Well nigga Casper ain't gone get it."
"Iight man."
And Nancy's sister June walked in. This girl been a drug addict since PJ was born. She never even seen Kaydin in person. Only the pictures I keep in the trap.
"Hey Josh."
"Wassup June?"
"You got some good?"
"Man you need to get off this stuff. Yo sister miss you and you got a niece and a nephew."
"Look man I didn't come her for no lecture. You got it or not?"
"Man here."
"Thanks J-dub."
"Alright."
I know I shouldn't have, but I gotta sell to make money. I'm not proud of it, but I been building this trap for 7 years and I'm not about to let it die. Real shit.
