"Let's go, we have to go NOW!" My boyfriend of 2 years told me, pulling me away from the body of a dead girl who I didn't know. This was supposed to just be a drug deal but of course it had to of gone wrong.

I winced as I lifted my shirt up in the mirror, my ribs were a purplish blue. The motion of even lifting my shirt inflicted so much pain that a few years fell from my eyes. There were a few knocks on the door, I quickly shoved my shirt down and wiped my eyes as the door opened.
"Hey baby, I just came in to say hello. You sped up the stairs earlier like something was wrong." My mom stated as she rubbed my arm. Her warm scent caressed my nose as I looked up at her.
"Yes ma'am, just school stuff you know? I'm just nervous about basketball try outs. They're coming up and I really want to make the team." I lied, I was nervous about the try outs but I already knew I had a spot on the team if I wanted it. Los was my more pressing issue.
"You should really let that boy stuff go, why don't you try out for cheer instead?" She asked fixing my hair in the mirror. My mom was set on me being a girly girl and while I tried to dress the part I loved tennis shoes as well. Cheer wasn't fun to me, and the skirts were too damn short.
"Nah, it's cool mom I'll figure it out. I love you." I stated, she knew that was her signal to leave, but right before she left she spoke again. "On the news, there was this drug deal gone wrong and the poor girl is dead. Happened right there on Haven street. I like Carlos but I don't want you hanging around there you hear?" She eye balled me as my heart dropped, I forgot all about that for a quick second. "Yes ma'am."
Los: meet me @ Sun station.
* I grabbed my taser and walked out of the door to my car, only to have my mom holler out to pick up some ice cream for dessert. When I finally pulled up to Sun station where I seen Los and Tommy standing on the corner I silently prayed to God and asked that he keep me safe from any and everything that they may inflict on me.
"I can't be out to late tonight, my mom needs me to bring something back for dinner." I half lied as he sat in the car, I stared over him. I had to admit that my boyfriend was fine as hell, it was like a switch had went off that made him crazy though.
"That's coo, we just gone take Tommy home then ima come home wit you is that cool?" He asked caressing my thigh, I smiled small and nodded my head. On the way to Tommy's house there was a few prostitutes on the corner, and I reminded my self to keep them in my prayers. When I finally arrived there I was hoping her would hurry and get the hell out of my car so I could make my way home. Of course they had to talk for another 10 minutes but uh when I heard gun shots in the distance my anxiety begs in to flare up. "Alright, well I got to get home." I spoke up noticing the time was about 8:30.
"Aw okay. Scaredy cat .. thank you for the ride though." He spoke, touching my shoulder in a way that gave me chills.
"Yeah .. no problem."As soon as he got out the car I sped off to my side of town.
