Chapter One.
Iggy's on and off again boyfriend, Kevin Armer, angrily shoved her against the kitchen wall while holding a pocket knife near the center of her neck. "If you ever try some bullshit like that again I swear i'll slit your throat of hoe!" Iggy stood in front of him in utter fear for her life. Her body began to shake involuntarily as she stared down into his brown chestnut eyes, which look bloodshot red, due to all the weed he'd been recently smoking. "I-I'm sorry. I won't do it again." she promises.
Kevin lower the pocket knife from her neck and threw it on the marbel kitchen countertop. He walks over to the ashtray, picking up what was left over from his weed, and kissed it with his lips, taking in a hug puff of smoke, then finally turned his foucs back to me and exhaled the smoke of the weed. "Babe," he continues. "You know I hate doing this... I mean do you always have to start a fight? If you just did what I ask, I wouldn't have to treat you this way."
How the hell was this my fault? Iggy thought quietly to herself while she watch Kevin put on his black leather jacket.
"Now i'mma be out with June and the boys, I want to see your white ass in the damn house by the time I get back. Do we understand each other?" He stipulated as if he was talking to a child instead of grown woman. And being the coward that she was, Iggy let trepidation take her over and noded. "Good girl." He smiles before giving her a quick and meaningless kiss on her red coated lips.
"I'm out."

"Rochelle you know I can't come along tonight. He's making me stay in and I might lose my life if I go to the club with you." Iggy explains.
"Girl when was the last time went actually spent sometime together, have FUN! You probaly don't even remember the mean of fun anymore." Rochelle, Iggy's close friend, teases.
"I don't know,"
"Ugh! C'mon you're wasting your time with that nigga. You need yourself a real man and heck maybe if you came you'd find you a real man."
"I've got a man."
"No. No you don't. He's far from what a man is, he treats you like total shit Iggs."
Iggy took a minute to think about what to do. She didn't what to disobey Kevin, expsecailly after he warned her to stay in the house, but then again it's been almost two months since she and Rochelle last hung out. It'd be nice to have some fun for a change instead of being trapped in this house all day. She had made up her mind; she was going to that club with Rocky. Besides Kevin won't even know that she was missing. She'll try her best to make it home before he shows up to the house.
"Rocky you still there?"
"Yes waiting on your annoying ass to give me an answer."
"Meet me around RonJeck Ave. I'll be there in fifthteen minutes."
