"i promise."
she held her pinky finger out. "pinky promise?"
i linked my pinky with her's, shaking it. "i pinky promise."
"okay, so what happened was, jah had this girlfriend. she was crazy as fuck; she'd always yell at jah for no apparent reason, she would get mad if he didn't spend all of his time with her, and she tried to tell him that he couldn't hang out with me anymore. she thought that i was trying to get with him even though i told her that i'm gay as hell and that jah is like a brother to me."
"one day, she harmed herself to make it look like jah had done it, and she lied on him to the police. she told them that he had abused her and had been for a while."
"so, they went to court. they found jah guilty and sent him to the jail, which is fucking bullshit. the judge was a racist fucking prick." she rolled her eyes before continuing.
"i still don't get why jahseh wouldn't just let me bail him out," she mumbled, rubbing her temples. "anyways, he really isn't a bad guy, i promise. he just got put into a really shitty situation."

"trust me, i know," she sighed, pushing herself off of her car. "anyways, i've gotta get home. i'll see you tomorrow."
i stepped forward to give her a hug. "see you tomorrow. bye, baby."
"bye, mama." she smiled.
