Ya'ninae is more than pissed about her move from her hometown Chicago to Compton. Moving out of one hood where she grew up at,where her family stays,where everyone knew her to another hood where she knows no one,and there was absolutely no family, nobody she vibes with. The big move plus her dad dying just a month before. Not only that, in the first week she's there, she already has a target on her back from fighting the well known king pin's sister. Yeah you could say her life's pretty shitty right now but Ya'ninae doesn't care one bit. She is a 18 year old senior, with a reckless mouth and even more reckless hands. She doesn't take disrespect lightly and will fight anybody anytime,anyday with ease. Don't think just because she fights she's dumb, that's just the hood in her. 4.0 with scholarships from 3 of the most prestige collages. Making it out is her goal and she won't let anybody or anything get in her way...or will she.? Now while Ya'ninae knows what she wants and knows how to handle herself there's always someone out there who can do it better right.? What happens when Jayshawn and her meet.? She may have mouth but his is even bigger and he doesn't take disrespect lightly either. What happens when fire meets wild fire....an even bigger fire emerges. Not listening can lead to mistakes that could've possibly been avoided right.? Ya'ninae's hard headedness puts her in one of the most biggest/amazing mistakes of her life.

Foster Care wasn't always so bad for the 16 year old Akira White. It always had it's good and bad days. She lost her dad mysteriously when she was two and never met her mom. Rumor was it, that she got strung out on drugs and ended up killing herself. Akira didn't believe that and she WOULD not believe that. In her heart, she knew her mom was out there somewhere trying to find her and bring her back home. How do you look for someone you've never met? What if everything that she's been told was a ball face lie? Would you still go on with your life, because you were already in too deep? Or would you drop everything and let hell loose? What if the person that you thought you needed wasn't who you actually needed? What if the person you really needed shows up randomly? Would you be happy because the stories you were told was all lies? Or would you be mad because they stayed away for so long? I guess we'll Never Know until shit hits the fan.

You can take the man out the hood, but you can't take the hood out the man. Every time we're trying to do better for ourselves, there's always something or someone out there ready to bring us back to our old bad habits. Isn't it funny when you're constantly trying to do good by people there's always Satan and his minions in the corner plotting and preying on your downfall? In this case, just how much can a person take when they're trying to do better but a certain group just won't let them? You see people don't ever speak up when you're silent while being picked on, they call you weak for not going back and forth. But when enough is enough and you finally fight back then they criticize and jump down your throat. Like Nicki said "They paint me out to be the bad guy," You can't keep poking a bear and not expect for it to bite back, that's like robbing a bank and thinking the police will just let you go. Every dog has their day... right? ©️2018 _jasthewriter I do not own the photos or videos, this story is fiction and came strictly from my thoughts.

It's 'Killed or be Killed' and living in New Orleans, you start to live by the 'Survival of The Fittest' mentality.

Growing up motherless wasn't always what the 18-year-old Tanya Moore would've dreamt of. Life had a funny way of doing things ya know? It was bad enough she only got to spend the first quarter of her life with her mother before she lost her to stupid cancer. The only time they got to hang out was Saturday and Sunday before and after Church. She was always at home with her father, he wasn't always so bad, he was a great man, a great husband, and a loving father.. he was a retired war veteran and did nothing but collect his checks and would occasionally do favors for old friends. Stacy Moore was a high school teacher and all the kids in the neighborhood loved her. She was always so sweet and would sing to her class if they did well. A loving mother, wonderful wife, amazing daughter, a great friend, but when the good Lord calls, there is simply nothing we can do about it. As much as we may try, God always has the final say, it may be a bad way to turn things out, but remember things happen for a reason and God never makes mistakes. Once she passed away after battling cancer for three years, things changed.. for the worst, and poor sweet little Tanya was caught in the crossfire of it all. We're all afraid of something or someone, we all get tired, we all get fed up with the same old routine, but the question is, how much is enough? When is it simply too much? When should you begin to fight back or run? How long should you sit there and let the only person that you once loved and looked up to continue to misuse and abuse you? Tell me something, if you had a chance to get help would you run and never look back?
