"Kamari is my friend-" He was quick on the draw again, aiming his gun straight at my head. My relatives gasped, and even I thought he was going to end me then and there. Okay, maybe I had mouthed off a little too much. Alright, I definitely had. - ratings: bwbm; #1 on 6/23/2020 & #2 on 6/2/2022 blackfiction; #1 on 5/9/2020 & 3/2/2021 kingsley; #2 on 8/25/2020 & 6/2/2022 blackqueen; #2 on 6/29/2020 & #1 on 9/14/2023 gangviolence: #2 on 8/19/2022 - BOOK TWO: "Kayla's Keys"

"Mama, I can't just leave Abir." I admitted, telling her exactly why I couldn't do this. Not only would she be snatching me away from my family and friends but she was taking me away from the person I'd loved for five going on six years. I couldn't just walk away from him. "Baby.." She trailed off, sighing deeply. "I know you love Abir." She stood to her feet to stop packing for a moment and pulled me into her. "But I promise you, there will be other boys. Right now you have to do what's best for you and that's coming with your daddy and I to give you a better life." "Better life for who? You?!" I screamed out, becoming even more angry at her choice of words. As if my feelings were robotic and I could just turn them on and off for any and every person. "My feelings just don't matter to y'all at all, huh?" I asked, crying harder than before now. "Speak to your mother with some respect, Giselle." My father spat to me and I shook my head, watching as they stood there looking at me like some dumb teenager. This wasn't puppy love for me. I didn't spend 5 years building something, just to walk away from it for their dreams. I couldn't do it. Sinner. Book #1
