It's Too Late

"Yeah yeah yeah I know dad the streets is about money and trying to survie", I said to my dad. "Now I trust you your smart and 16 now but if you fall into a soution understand that I can't help you angel. You have to learn from your mistakes and also others sometimes. Now my main connect is going to meet you on twenty-third street tonight", he repiled back. "At 1:30 tonight yeah yeah I know dad, you know I'm older now and you should treat me like I am!", I said getting irraited by him. "Okay, not only me and your mom is counting on you, but the team, you have to think about them to don't be selfish, because it will all come back to you. Now go ahead and pick up your brother up from school." I got up and went to get my brother's keys to his BMW. As I was walking out the door I saw my ex-boyfriend Chris walking toward me limping. He broke my heart 3 months ago. I found out that he was cheating on me with my best, well ex-bestfriend Mya. My dad and C-more shot him 4 times in the leg, ever since he been begging me to take him back. When I saw that he was getting closer I got into C-more car and speed away leaving him standing there looking stupid. I arrived at my school to pick up C-more. I didn't go to school to day because I was preparing for war on the streets. C-more came out with one of them ratchett looking thirsy girls. They came into the car. "Why is she in here for", I asked him when they both were in the car. "Yo Candy you need to chill out with that bs, I never asked you why you went out with Chris, now did I", he said getting smart. He had a point there. "Well just drop me off at Keke's house and then you can handle that thirsty girl!", I said. "C-more you better get your sister, she don't know me she better check her-self", she said. "Whatever girl you not even worth it", I said. "Yall need to chill", C-more sid getting irratered now. We road in the car in slience. When I arrived at my bestfriend Keke's house I knocked on the door but nobody didn't come. I walked in and almost pass out. Right in front of me I saw my friend Kendrad Roberts aka Keke died right in front of me. I knew she had been raped by more then one man. She was naked and bleeding to death. She looked at me and I told her I promised I would found who ever done this to her. She then took one last breath and was gone/died. I heard foot steps coming from the backroom, I then quickly hid behind the couch. I found a gun that was tucked under the chair. The foot steps got louder. The gun was load. I pulled the trigger, but it was to late they got away. I tried running after the car they were in, but it was too late they had gotten away. I was too late!

Knowing the Game?!

The police arrived and asked me a bunch of questions like I was the one who murder her. When I went home that night I couldn't sleep. The next day I skipped school and went into search mode. I sweared to Keke that I would find who ever killed her and I was determined to, no matter who or what was coming my way. I went to get my crew and went searching everywhere. I thought about Chris, could he have done this to get back at me. Ever since Keke die he been MIA, maybe I'm crazy he would do that after what C-more and daddy did to him. The first person we thought who had killed Keke was Mike-mike. We found him at a local club. I went into the bathroom and put on my one of my tight fitting blue dress that came up about 4inches above my knees with my black spike heels. I came out of the bathroom and found him on the dance floor. I worked my way on the dance floor. Soon I found myself at the bar with him. He offered to buy me a drink, of course I didn't say no. He got drunk soon right where I wanted him. We went to his place to chill or aleast thats what he thought. He layed on the bed while I went to get us a cup of Alize. I put a 3 pills into his cup. I waited a couple of minutes for it to dissolve in the drink. I shook it and tooked it to him. "A toast to us?!", he said. "To us", I said smiling. He drunk the drink and soon felt dizzy and past out. My crew came and put him into the truck of his black Jeep. We took him to the forset where nowhere could find him. We tied him up to a tree. He soon woked up and relized his life was tricked. "Mike we can keep this simple, or do this the hard way. We think you had something to do with Keke's death. You was real close to her. Now you was the last person with her. I know because she said that you two were going to a party, did this happen or not?", I asked him. He looked at me with pleading eyes to let him free. He soon answer. "Yes I did but I would never ever kill keke!!", He yelled at me. I laughed to myself a little bit wondering should I belive him or not. "Tell me everything that happened from the begining to the end", I said leaning down in front of him. "Okay so me and Keke were going out to eat at the waffle house.", he said  trying to get his story toghther. "Then I asked her to go to my cousin birthday party with me she agreed and we went", He said looking at me. I looked into his eyes firguring out was he lying. "I swear I had a few drinks with her and we left I took her home thats all that happen I swear",He looked at me pleading to let him go. I sighed and got up from in front of him. "Let him go", I said. He sighed in relielf. "Wait don't think you're off the hook if you tell anybody and I mean anybody about this that's you're ass_", I said pointing my finger in his face."I'mnot trust me I want to tag up with you and your team to find out who killed Keke", He said in all serious. I walked away with my guys following me. I walked to my truck. I turned around once I reached my truck. "I'll thin k about it okay", I said to him. He nod and walked away to find his car. I sighed loudly. I don't know how I'm do this but I promise to find who ever killed Keke and somhow someday someway I will. 

Bad guy or good guy?!

"Well maybe you should give him a chance", C-More says trying to convine me to let Mike(Mike-Mike) in on our plan and let him be down with the crew. "I don't know what if he's just playing us?", I say rasing an eyebrow. "And what if hes not", he say. "But what if he is??!", I say getting very irratted now. "Just think about it at least", he says smiling. "Already did", I say staring at the wall. He gives me a death glare, and gets up and walks away. I sigh and get up and walk to the windowsill and listen to rain hit against the window pane. "I hope he's right", I say to myself.
