Quis was picking me up to go out of town for the weekend. We have been inseparable every since that day at the park. I was excited to get out of Detroit so I had my bags packed all early I get a call from him saying he's on the way i smile and text back "ok" my aunt walks in the room and even though we argue weve always been real close she's only 23 and im 17 so im basically growing with her. I know she cares about me and wants the best for me. she hugs me and says "be careful" then she walks out i can tell she was about to cry sounds extra but ive never left her for a whole weekend.

Quis pulls up and we get on the road to Chicago i drove the first part and then we switched i must have fallen asleep cause i woke up and we were there. It was beauftiful big buildings and everything i called Ang and told her we made it she sounded excited for me. We got to the hotel and dropped our stuff off Quis told me he was going to handle something and that he'd be back i said ok and went and took a shower. i got out put on a oversized t-shirt and watched reruns of love and hip hop until quis got back. He walked in with deep dish pizza and some wings  i smiled and he said " come here i know yo fatass smiling cause i got wings in my hands not causse you happy yo see me" " shut up" i said laughing and throwing a pillow at him he knows me so well i gave him a kiss and snatched the wings out of his hand and got back on the bed.

we ate and chilled and went out on the balcony i sat on his lap and we just talked we were joking at first and then he said "tell me about that scar on your side" i took a deep breath and he rubbed my back " i was dating this boy when i was 13 way to young to even be involved with somebody like him he was 18 this was around the time i wasnt living with Angie and my dad was always gone getting high or whatever. he showed me attention i wasnt getting it anywhere else. I ended up living with him when my dad got us evicted. he was sweet at first and then one day he started beating on me. i went through that for like 8-9 months when i tried to leave for good i was 3 months pregnant and he beat the shit out of me, dragged me and stabbed me. the neighbors called the police and they came and got me i was dead for 13 minutes" tears started to fall " they bought me back and he was arrested my aunt was called and from then on she made sure i was safe she also defended me in court and he got 14 years in prison for agrrivated assult" his face got angry " babe im glad he locked up cause i would have to kill him" he said serious as hell.

"now that ive spilt my tragic life stroy you tell me about you" he rubbed his chin and made me wait

"I grew up in Cali but i moved here with my foster family when i was 15 so i only been here 4 years. I ran away though and they never gave a shit long as they got they check so they never looked for me. i got involved in this game in detroit through my OG from Watts who put me on thats the only way i been eating and making it forreal. never knew my parents from what i heard they were killed in an accident i never asked about it honestly" i laid my head on his chest for the rest of the night and we talked about everything

The next morning i woke up and Quis was looking at me "what you want wierdo" i said with an attutude i hate when he stares at me " i know you just woke up so imma give you time to fix that ugly  attitude of yours " i flipped him off then went to the bathroom and did my hygiene thing i came out and quis was standing there in just his boxers trying to decide what to wear. He looked up at me and caught me staring "see something you like" "nope" i dropped my towel "you?" "yup" he said i laughed  as he walked over and grabbed me bitting his lip as bad as i wanted him right now i didnt wanna waste the weekend doing the same shit we do in detroit. we decided to match i had on my bulls jersey that fit like a dress and some red and black retros i straighted my hair and put on some dangly earrings. Marquis had on his bulls jersey, retros, trues, and his rolex we took a picture in the mirror and put it up on the gram "out with my love". We headed out to explore Chicago shopping eating and taking pictures waking hand in hand. We had a blast all weekend then eventually we had to go back Detroit..
