“Hey baby,” Rock said grinning when I walked out of my apartment. It was Saturday night. The night in which, Rock had me.
I glared at him, “Hi.”
“Come on, let’s go, before your brothers catch you,” he said as he began to walk down the hall. I followed, helplessly.
“So, what are we doing tonight?” I asked.
“I dont know. You’re to follow ten feet behind me. I dont want no one going telling no one. Id get my ass beat by Ricky,” he ordered. We got out onto the street and I obeyed, following ten feet behind him.
He walked up a dingy apartment building, a lot like the one I lived in and I followed him up the stairs. I made sure no one saw us and I followed him into his apartment.
“We got the place to ourselves,” he grinned.
“Where’s your parents?” I asked.
“I dont have any,” he whispered.
“Why?” I asked. I know that was rude, but I was curious.
“Because my dad doesnt give a shit about me and Ive never met my mom,” he answered.
“Im sorry,” I said, suddenly feeling bad for him.
“Dont worry about it,” he said.
“How do you afford this?” I asked looking around.
“My dad gives me money so I wont tell the cops what he does and I steal everything else or take this stuff from people who dont need it,” he shrugged.
Wow, he had it harder than I thought.
“Is that why you’re in a gang?” I asked.
“Why?” he asked.
“To feel apart of a family?” I asked.
“Yeah, I guess you could say that,” he shrugged.
“So, what shall I do to you first?” he asked, turning around, grinning devilishly.
“You dont feel the least bit sorry for me?” I asked.
“Nope,” he replied.
I took a deep breath, this was going to be a long night.
“I wanna do to you, what Ive wanted to ever since the first time I saw you,” he told me.
“And what’s that?” I asked nervously.
“Im gonna fuck your brains out,” he told me.
My eyes got wide. Man, dont be so blunt.
I stared at him shocked as he grinned at me.
“Take off your shirt,” he ordered me.
I wasnt used to a guy saying that. Usually, he’d take it off for me. He walked over to me and lifted my shirt.
“Damn girl. You’re too good to be true,” he murmured.
I sucked in my breath. I am doing this for AJ. Not for Rock. AJ.
He kissed my mouth, soft and passionate. At least he wasnt rough and disgusting. He moved his kisses down to my neck, my shoulders, my chest. Slowly, he removed my bra and kissed my breast. Paying equal attention to each of my breast.
“When I make you come, you’re gonna scream my name, as loud as you can. Got it?” he asked looking up at me. I nodded, not trusting my voice.
It wasnt long before all of our clothes were removed. He moved me over to his bed and gently pushed me down on it. He rested his body between my legs. He kissed his way down my body to my crotch. He kissed my inner thigh and moved it up to my clit. I sucked in my breath as I tried to fight the urge to moan. Picture AJ. Picture AJ.
Quickly, he stuck his tongue into me, causing me to moan.
“That’s it baby. Dont be shy,” he said looking up at me.
He continued to work his tongue inside my body. My walls began to twitch around his tongue and he pulled it out.
I whimpered as I looked down at himand remembered who was doing this to me.
“Come on baby, I want you to suck me dry,” he said moving his kisses up to my lips. He kissed me and I could taste myself on him.
He rolled over, pulling me on top of him.
“Go on,” he ordered.
I kissed my way down to his hard manhood.
I kissed his thigh, his hip, then moved my tongue to the tip of his erection. I licked the tip, causing him to grunt. I took him into my mouth and worked my mouth up and down his cock.
I looked up and saw his eyes rollingn the back of his head. I worked him faster and faster until his warm semen shot into my mouth, I swallowed and continued to suck.
“Oh damn. You give good head,” he choked. I looked up at him and felt sick to my stomach. He pulled me up and rolled me over and in one quick thrust he entered me. I had to admit, he felt good inside me. He pumped into me. Harder and faster, causing me to moan. Rock was moaning loudly. I could tell he was about to come because he started pumping even faster into me. Suddenly, my walls twitched around his hard cock, sending shivers up and down my body. When Rock started to feel his release he pulled out, sending his come all over my body. I closed my eyes and caught my breath.
“Damn, baby, that was good,” he murmured collapsing on top of me. He rolled over and layed down next to me. He reached onto his nightstand and pulled a cigarette out of his pack and lit it up.
“Do you want one?” he asked looking at me.
I opened my eyes and nodded. He handed me one and I lit it up.
“Im sorry I did this to you Melissa,” he whispered. I looked at him, confused.
“What?” I asked.
“Im sorry I did this to you. I mean, I guess I was just jealous of AJ,” he shrugged.
“Why were you jealous of AJ?” I asked.
“Because, he got to be with the hottest girl around. I guess since I had this little info, I took advantage of you,” he said.
“I dont understand,” I said.
“Think about it. I could never get you, so I took the information that could hurt you and AJ and I used it against you,” he said sitting up.
“Yeah, well,” I shrugged.
“Well, Im sorry and Im going to apologize to AJ too,” he said getting up. He got dressed and threw my clothes at me.
“Get dressed. Im taking you home,” he ordered.
I got up slowly and got dressed. As I was putting on my shoes, Rock walked in.
“I wont say a word to the guys, I wouldnt have in the first place,” he told me.
“Thanks for not saying anything,” I said softly as I stood up.
Just then there was a knock at the door. I shot a worried look at Rock.
“Uh, hold on, let me see who it is,” he said. He walked over to the door and opened it just a crack. Then all of the sudden, the door swung open and Chelsea bursted into the room.
“What the fuck is she doing here?!” she shouted looking directly at me. Damn.
“None of your damn business, bitch. What the fuck are you doing here?” Rock asked her, equally angry.
“Im carrying your damn baby, I can come by any damn time I want,” she yelled.
“Bitch, that aint my baby. I wouldnt fuck you if I had the chance,” he looked disgusted.
“So, is this your bitch now?” she asked.
“No, it aint my bitch,” he yelled.
“What the hell is she doing here then?” she asked.
“Dont worry about it bitch,” Rock yelled.
“Wait a second. Yeah, you’re that hoe from Anthony’s gang. Yeah, I’ll get you fucked up,” she said looking at me.
“Im not a hoe bitch,” I said going after her. Rock held me back as anger flushed my face.
“Whatever bitch. You fucked Carlos the other night, didnt you?” she asked grinning.
“What?” I shreiked.
“Yeah, he called my girl Laura’s name. We heard the story. Guess you arent living up to your reputation,” she said grinning.
“And what reputation would that be?” I asked.
“Guys talk about how you fuck all the time. Carlos was the first to say another girl’s name. How does that make you feel?” she asked, pratically laughing now. Ok, now I was pissed. I struggled away from Rock’s embrace and grabbed Chelsea’s hair and started hitting her.
“Dumb bitch!” she yelled.
Rock pulled me off her and stood between us. I was pissed.
“Here’s the rest of your nasty greasy hair, bitch,” I said throwing the hair that I had pulled out at her. She went to go after me, but Rock pushed her.
“Get the fuck out of my apartment bitch,” he yelled. Chelsea stumbled to her feet and glared at me as she left the apartment.
“Are you ok?” Rock asked.
“I need to get home. Like now. She’s going to tell someone,” I said straightening out my hair. I opened the door and I rushed out the door. I ran all the way home and when I got there, my father was laying on the couch, sleeping.
“Daddy,” I whispered. His eyes opened and he looked up at me.
“Daddy, can you say I was with you all night if any of the boys ask?” I asked sincerely.
“Why?” he asked looking at me suspiciously.
“Because I got in a fight with some girl and I just want the boys to think I was at home and not out and about, ok?” I asked.
“You were here the whole time, dont worry about it,” he assured me.
“Thanks Daddy,” I said smiling. I walked off to my room and closed the door.
I sighed as I looked in the mirror, I looked a mess. I decided I was going to take a shower. I got out my blood red silk pajama pants and tank top to match and walked to the bathroom. I took a long hot shower, trying to erase the memories from tonight.
“Melissa! Im home!” Alana banged on the bathroom door.
“Ok, I’ll be out in a minute, ok?” I asked.
“That’s cool,” she called.
I shut off the shower and got out. I changed into my night clothes and walked to our bedroom. I smiled at Alana as I began to brush my long, wet hair.
“I got one of those home pregnancy tests,” she whispered to me.
“Ok, good. Go do whatever you have to do. I’ll go in once you’re done and just waiting,” I whispered.
“Ok, I’ll call for you,” she told me.
“Ok,” I nodded.
She walked off to the bathroom, with a bag in her hand.
I waited a few minutes and I heard Alana call. I walked down the hallway and into the bathroom. She was sitting on the floor against the wall, Indian style.
“It’ll be ok Alana. I know it will be,” I whispered to her.
“We’ve got seven minutes to find out,” she said looking up at me.
I sat down next to her and took a deep breath. I looked over at her and a single tear fell down her cheek.
“I hate it here Melissa,” she told me.
“I know. I do too,” I said.
“Everything is about sex, drugs, and gangs,” she said, her bottom lip trembling.
“Somehow, we got sucked into it too,” I said nodding.
“I dont want to live like this anymore,” she said looking up at me.
“Me either. Just wait Melissa. Me and AJ already decided that as soon as we’re 18, we’re out of here. We’ll take you with us. I couldnt leave my little sister alone,” I said looking at her.
“Yeah, but I wont be 18,” she said.
“Yeah, but you’ll be with me,” I told her.
“Anthony, James, and Robert wont like that,” she told me.
“Who cares what they want. It cant always be about what they want,” I said frustrated.
“Yeah, I know,” she nodded.
“I wanna get out of here and make myself somebody. Somebody important. Im going to have people turning their heads and wishing they knew me,” I said matter-of-factly.
“I know this is gonna sound weird, but what you wanna be?” she asked looking at me.
“I wanna be a star Alana. Im gonna change my name to something exotic or preppy. Preppy sounds better. Probably Jennifer or Amber or something like that. Then, Im gonna star in movies and tv shows,” I answered smiling.
“Really? I never knew you wanted to do stuff like that,” she said looking interested.
“Me either. I guess you can learn a lot the whole seven minutes you bond with your sister,” I said smiling.
“Yeah,” she laughed.
“Well, when you’re a big star, Im going to be your hair and makeup stylist. Ok?” she asked.
“Yeah, thats cool,” I said smiling.
“One day, we’ll be out of here,” I promised her.
“One day,” she repeated.
“Seven minutes is up,” she whispered to me.
“Are you going to look?” I asked.
“No, you look,” she ordered.
I stood up and picked up the pregnancy test that was sitting on the counter.
“It’s a plus,” I told her, softly.
“Oh my G-D,” she said, an ocean of tears flooding her eyes.
“Come here sweetie,” I said pulling her up. I held her sobbing body in my embrace as she let all her tears flow freely.
“Im so young though,” she whispered.
“You’re just growing up a little too fast, I think we all are,” I told her.
“How do I tell Daddy? And Anthony, and Robert, and James. How do I tell Pete?” she asked looking up at me.
“I dont know Alana, but we’ll find a way,” I promised her.
“Ok,” she nodded.
“Everything will be ok, I promise,” I whispered to her.
“What are you guys doing in there?” Anthony pounded on the door.
“Nothing!” we both shouted. I picked up the pregnancy test and put it under my tank top. Alana smiled at me thankfully and I opened the door.
“What the hell were you doing?” he asked.
“She was doing my hair,” I told him.
“Right,” he said, not believing a word I was saying.
Alana didnt say a word, just rushed off to our room. When I got in, I locked the door and sighed.
“I dont want my baby to grow up here,” she told me.
“I’ll get you out of here, I promise. Im 18 in 7 months. Dont worry. We’ll be out of here in time,” I assured her.
“Alana! Pete’s here. He wants to talk to you,” Robert said from outside the door.
“I’ll leave you guys alone,” I told her.
“Ok, thanks,” she smiled.
I walked out and Pete walked in.
Just then, the phone rang.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Hi, Melissa?” it was Ms. Richards.
“Hi, Ms. Richards,” I said.
“Hey sweetie. Would you mind going to the store for me?” she asked.
“Not at all. I’ll be right over,” I told her.
I walked over to her apartment. I knocked and patiently waited for her to answer the door.
“Hey sweetie,” she said as the door creaked open.
“Hi,” I smiled brightly.
“Come on in,” she offered. I stepped inside and waited as she searched her purse for something.
“Melissa!” AJ exclaimed walking into the room.
“AJ!” I beamed, wanting to run up and kiss him.
“Damn Mom, you have her go to the store a lot for you,” Ricky said walking up behind him.
“Well, she’s the only one who agrees on going for me,” she said glaring at her son.
“I feel bad for having you go to the store so late for me. But, I really need my femine products, if you know what I mean,” she said looking up at me.
“Oh, I understand,” I said smiling at Ricky’s disgusted face.
“Mom, that’s gross,” he said.
“Anyways, here’s some money and I have written down here what kind I like,” she said handing me money and a piece of paper.
“Dont you think it’s kind of unsafe for her to go out so late by herself?” AJ asked looking at Ms. Richards.
“Yes, Alex dear, will you go with her?” she asked looking at AJ.
I smiled at the name.
“Sure,” AJ said looking at Ricky who wasnt even paying attention anymore.
“I’ll be back later man,” AJ said to Ricky.
“Ok, cool man,” Ricky said.
AJ and I walked out of the apartment and down the hallway. As soon as we were out of the building, our hands came together and I smiled up at him.
“What?” he asked.
“Im glad I got to see you tonight,” I beamed.
“Same here,” he said lightly kissing my lips.
“Thanks for walking me to the store,” I said.
“I wouldnt have it any other way,” he smiled.
“You’re a completely different person around me,” I said.
“I am?” he asked.
“You know you are,” I answered.
“I have to act different around the boys,” he told me.
“I know,” I said.
“I promised my sister something,” I said as we were walking into the store.
“What?” he asked.
“She’s coming with us when we leave,” I said looking up at him.
“She is?” he asked.
“Yeah, she got herself into a bit of trouble and Im not leaving her here,” I answered.
“What happened?” he asked.
“She got herself pregnant,” I told him.
“She did?” he asked shocked.
“Yeah, she hates it here about as much as we do,” I said picking up a package of pads.
“Um, Im going to wait in the front,” AJ said looking uncomfortable.
“Ok,” I laughed.
I payed for the pads and AJ and I walked out of the store, again, hand in hand.
“Well, well, well, look who we’ve got here,” Rock smirked as he walked up to us.
AJ’s face suddenly casted this anger shadow. I didnt want to tell him what happened at Rock’s and I wasnt going to, unless he asked.
“Look, man. Uh, I didnt want to tell anyone, but I guess I better. Im uh, gonna be leaving,” he said.
“What?” AJ asked shocked.
“Yeah, my dad cleaned himself up. Im going to go live with him. We’re going to start clean. I aint gonna deal no gangs no more. Nothing. It’s just going to be a fresh clean start,” he said.
“That’s cool man. Where’s your dad live?” AJ asked.
“Down south, Florida,” he answered.
“That’s cool man. As soon as we get the chance, we’re leaving too,” AJ told him.
“Well, man, Im leaving tomorrow night. I’ll leave you my dad’s number. That way you can get in touch with me. I dont want anyone else knowing. No one,” he said looking at me and AJ.
“It’s cool man. Just tell me what you did with my girl,” AJ said, forgetting what Rock just said.
“Man, nothing happened,” he told AJ. I looked at Rock shocked.
That wasnt fair to AJ. He deserved to know. At least I think he deserves to know. I looked at Rock and shook my head.
“Nothing?” AJ asked shocked.
“Ok, I fucked her, but I apologized right after,” Rock admitted.
AJ let my hand go and well, he didnt look too friendly.
“AJ, come on,” I begged.
“Man, I realized what I did was wrong, after I did it. Im sorry. I had no right to do that. I dont want things to not be cool with us. I really am sorry,” he said.
“AJ,” I whispered.
“Come on Melissa,” AJ said pulling me towards him. I walked with AJ. Our hands no longer together and I felt like I was going to cry.
“Im sorry AJ,” I whispered.
“Baby, you did that for me?” he asked stopping me.
“Yeah,” I nodded.
“Damn, I cant believe you would do that for me,” he said.
“I dont want anything to happen to you AJ,” I whispered.
“I cant wait to get out of here,” he whispered.
“Me either,” I said smiling.
We walked to Ricky’s apartment and I handed his mom the pads and the change.
“Thank you so much sweetheart,” she smiled.
“You’re welcome,” I smiled back.
“Im gonna go home man,” AJ told Ricky.
“See you man,” Ricky nodded. He was on the couch, watching television.
We walked out of the apartment.
“Do you wanna come over?” he asked.
“Yeah,” I nodded.
“Where the fuck are you going?” Pete asked me, walking out of our apartment.
“What happened in there?” I asked, ignoring his question.
“Nothing, why?” he asked.
“Didnt you talk to Alana?” I asked, hoping that she did talk to him.
“Yeah, I talked to her,” he said.
“Pete, what are you going to do?” I asked.
“Fuck that shit. I dont want anything to do with it,” he said.
My eyes got wide.
“Does Ant, James, or Robert know you feel this way?” I asked.
“They dont even fucking know about it,” he said.
“They’re going to know,” I growled.
“It aint gonna change my decision,” he told me.
“I cant believe you. They’re going to beat your ass for that,” I told him.
“Nah, they wont,” he said, pretty sure of himself.
“Oh yes they will. When it comes to Alana and me, Pete, they wont even think about it,” I told him.
“Then I guess I’ll get my ass beat,” he shrugged and walked off.
“I’m going to see if Alana is ok. Why dont you go on to your house and I’ll meet you over there,” I whispered to AJ, who had walked out of view of Pete.
“Ok,” he nodded.
I walked into my apartment.
“Im gonna fucking kill him!” Anthony said running out of the apartment. James and Robert right after him.
“Alana?” I called.
“Melissa!” she said sobbing. I pulled her into a hug and held her trembling body.
“I want out of here,” she whispered to me.
“Me too,” I whispered back.
“He just laughed in my face and said, ‘Sounds like a personal problem to me’, and walked off. I dont understand,” she said looking at me.
“I dont know either Alana,” I said, I didnt know what else to say. I cant tell her I understand, because I dont understand. Ive never been in a situation like that, so I dont know exactly what it feels like.
“So, I take it Antony, James, and Robert know?” I asked.
“The whole damn building knows now,” she rolled her eyes.
“Im sorry Alana,” I said.
“It’s not your fault. I just want to be alone Melissa,” she whispered looking away.
“Ok,” I said softly and got up. I walked out of our room and out of the apartment.
I walked out of the building and onto the street, on my way to AJ’s apartment. As soon as I turned a corner, I saw Anthony, James, and Robert on top of someone, beating the shit out of them. I looked at them shocked. They never liked Alana or me to see them fight, but we usually did anyway.
“Bitch, you never fuck with our sister,” Anthony shouted as they stopped beating him.
“We beat Carlos’ ass, did you not think we’d kick yours?” James yelled at him.
Pete was lying on the ground in the fetal position, I almost felt bad for him.
“Where you going?” Robert asked as they were walking away.
“A friends,” I said looking down at Pete.
“What friend?” Anthony asked.
“None of your business,” I answered.
“Whatever Melissa,” he said and the three of them walked away. I walked up to Pete and looked down at him.
“Are you ok?” I asked kneeling down.
“Does it look like it?” he asked.
“No, not really,” I said.
“Man, Im sorry,” he said, a tear falling from his eye.
“Dont cry about it. And it’s not me that you need to apologize to, it’s Alana and my brothers,” I told him.
“Why your brothers?” he asked.
“For disrespecting them. You knew the rules when you got in the gang, Pete. No one fucks around with their sisters. You screw us over, they screw you over,” I answered.
“I dont understand how someone could be so protective over their sister,” he said getting up.
“Well, you dont have a sister, so you dont know what it’s like,” I told him.
“I know, but, still,” he said, touching his lip, which was bleeding.
“Well, man, I suggest you apologize and start taking responsibilty with what you and Alana did,” I suggested.
“Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, now,” he answered.
“Yeah, shouldve thought about that, about thirty minutes ago, huh?” I asked.
“That wouldve been perfect,” he answered.
“Well, see you,” I said and walked off.
I walked the rest of the way to AJ’s apartment. I knocked on the door and patiently waited for someone to answer.
AJ answered, smiling.
“Hey,” he said kissing me.
“Hi,” I grinned.
I walked in and followed him to his room.
“Melissa!” his mother exclaimed.
“Hi,” I said smiling.
“How are you hon?” she asked.
“Good, thanks,” I said smiling.
“We’ll be in my room,” AJ said dragging me to his room.
“Alex, Im going to go out tonight,” she told him.
“Ok,” he called shutting the door and locking it.
He turned to me and smiled. I couldve melted into his smile, it was so beautiful.
“I was thinking, that maybe we should start saving money, so we have some for when we leave,” he said looking at me.
“Are you sure you want to leave with me? I mean, we just met,” I told him, wondering if he was being as serious about this as I was.
“Of course, why? Are you having doubts?” he asked.
“No, I was just making sure you were being serious and I wasnt getting my hopes up,” I answered.
“No, I hate it here. My mom cant afford anywhere else, so, Im stuck here. Im going to take my mother with me,” he told me.
“Ok,” I said smiling.
“I wont leave her here, alone,” he told me.
“You’re so sweet sometimes,” I told him.
“Sometimes?” he asked raising his eyebrows.
“Yeah, well, you have to act hard around your boys,” I said laughing.
“Yeah,” he chuckled and looked away.
“What?” I asked smiling.
“Nothing. Come here baby,” he said pulling me to him.
“What?” I asked, a huge, giddy smile plastered on my face.
“I just wanted to kiss you,” he told me, leaning down. He pressed his lips to mine. I felt my knees going weak, and I loved the feeling.
We opened our mouths at the same time and our tongues began to explore each other’s mouths. It was a great feeling.
