Me & My Girlfriend
Love in the hood has always been sparce. No one willing to give it-no one even willing to receive the shit. The grounds of Houston's southwest; sidewalks full of cracks that broke many mama's backs, sodas bought at sunny's to hold up your end of a jinx deal-where the sun sets, and the grounds our young sons slang dope on, and daughters walk half naked on; go cold. It knew no love.
It knew no love until Uclive and Mary changed the way the hood saw love.

Mary was one of many affected by the dystopia of Houston's reality. No love, little guidance, no family, and hardly ever a second glance. She was one who grew up without a father and hardly a mother. All she knew was constant beatings, neglect, betrayal, dishonesty, confusion, and silence. However, Mary was still full of vintage dreams, silky ribbons, and empathy. No one was there to protect her, so all she had were her dreams.
Uclive however, knew love-but he also knew struggle, loss, and pain. He knew the despair that lack of love forced on his community. He lost both parents to murder as a child, left to be raised by a brother and the lonely streets of Alief. Respected by many at only eighteen, Uclive was on the rise and he was simply dealing the cards he was dealt. Unlike niggas, Uclive's lifestyle wasn't a flaunt, but a schooling on what a real street nigga is.
Someway, Mary and Uclive will cross paths and become 2 of Americaz Most Wanted.
