If the Projects could talk, they would have told her eons ago; that the road she had been headed down would lead to her own self destruction.
They would have warned her, in light whispers that the friends she called her own would have betrayed her; that the family she kept would have abandoned her, and that the man she had found herself falling in love with; would have easily proven to be her biggest downfall.
They would have told her from a young age, before she had gotten caught up in the life that no one could escape; that things don't always go according to plan, and in the projects:
There are no happy endings.
But sadly; the walls surrounding her everyday childhood had not, or could not utter a single word. Therefore; the woman had received no forewarning to the hell her life would soon become the moment she had been birthed, and instead she had found out the hard way, by simply:
Living it.

Concrete Hearts
They say love ain't supposed to hurt. But in the streets, it never comes clean. Alani Baptiste swore she was done with hood love - done with men who only knew how to love in survival mode. She's focused now: her makeup chair, her name getting known, and her peace staying untouched. Then there's Kilo Dupree - the one who taught her what chaos feels like, what loyalty sounds like, and what heartbreak can really do to a soul. He's the neighborhood's quiet storm - one minute calm, the next one phone call away from violence. They weren't supposed to circle back. But when family, loyalty, and love get tangled up, some bonds don't stay buried. They bruise. They bleed. They come back harder. It's hood love - real, messy, passionate, and dangerous. 'Cause when you grow up on concrete, you learn early that hearts break like glass... and bleed like the block.
Sinner (Completed)
"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 #1Complete
