Falling For The Thug Next Door

That's it. That is the end. Sometimes there is no more to a story. Sometimes there is no happy ending. Sometimes it just..ends. I knew what I was getting into but yet I still chose to do it. We enter the world crying and cold, who would have thought we'd go out the same way...or so maybe I could go out the same way.

Mama always told me to stay away from thugs and wannabe thugs. I know each time she was specifically talking about Treyvon but I always blew her off. As much as I love my Mother and want to stick by her word I can't. I can't because I have fallen for someone. I don't mean just anyone...I have fallen for the thug next door.

Jai'la Aaliyah hunter is a 17yr-old girl who lives in Richmond, VA. She lives in the Southside part of town which many people call the ghetto and the hood. Her mother always warned her about a well-known thug who was known around the way as Treyvon and Trey for short. Despite the warnings from her mom, Jayla decided to get entangled with him. What will happen when Jayla falls for the thug? Will sexual comments, compliments, and drug money be enough? Most importantly will Jayla sink or swim?

Treyvon Donte Johnson is an 18yr-old boy who lives in Richmond, VA. He lives in the Southside part of town close to where Jayla lives. However, Treyvon lives in a set of apartments that are run-down and trashy. Where people get robbed, shot, and killed every day. They are known as the projects. What will happen when he runs into Jayla at a party? Will he fall for her or will he use her for the fun of it? Will his choices hurt him in the long run?
