It was another boring day of work, work, work. Derek had decided to keep me busy so I wouldn't even have the time to go to a club or even thinking of having a drink.
Yes, in the past I might have had some issues with alcohol but I was totally fine now and Derek needed to understand that.
I was in bed all huddled in my duvet and ready for bed when a phone call came in, interrupting my peace. This is why you should always put your phone on airplane mode in the night.
I looked at the caller ID to see that it was Brian again. I grinded my teeth in frustration. Of all the fucked up people in this world to call me, it had to be the fu****.
"What do you want?" I asked with anger in my voice. I had zero tolerance for the bag of shit.
"Chill, would you? You don't want to end up in another court ordered anger management class again, do you?" He asked with mischief. I could tell by the sound of his v
I never thought in my whole life that any woman can look so good in just jeans and a hoodie but Camilla pulled it off perfectly.After we finish getting ready we went outside to of Camilla’s house. We were going to my house so I could shower and get ready. But when Camilla saw my bike, she freaked!“There’s no way in hell I am getting on that thing.” She pointed at my bike like it was bile.“Shhh. She’ll hear you.” I said and patted my bike softly as though the bike could really be hurt by her words.Camilla rolled her eyes, “I don’t are about how my words affect your bike. I am not getting on that bike.”“Fine. Then how do you propose we get to my house then?” I asked with a snort.“I’ll take my car and follow you behind on your bike.&rdquo
I walked up the hill, the bright afternoon sun hitting me hard, sweat dripping down my back and my chest. I was soaked. But I couldn’t stop, I never stopped till I got to the top.It was just a few more kilometers to the top so I dragged myself up. I liked the feeling of the sun burning on my back. I was so glad that I had put on some sun block and I was wearing a tank top and shorts, I would have had a heat stroke and the worst case of sun burn.Twenty minutes later, I had finally reached the top.I sat on a rock and took a big gulp of water from my water bottle. The water was cold and I felt it flow through me.I was hiked every time I had something on my mind. It helped me clear the cob webs from my head.I had just had another of my realistic dreams about my parents that I fucking hate. Every time I had that dream, it made me feel angry and
Camilla's POVI was at the hospital with Derek the doctors said he would be discharged in three days but he would need to be on bed rest for a month.I had been in the hospital for over an hour and I hadn't seen Tony. I don't even know why I wanted to see him I just did. Not like I came to the hospital to see him because that's not it. I was friends with Derek and I did care about him. But it was still weird that Tony wasn't here."Where is Tony?" I asked Derek."I really don't know. I haven't seen him since yesterday. I'm a bit worried though. Knowing that guy he is probably up to something stupid or he's in a Ballo trance again." Derek said.She gave him a questioning look. "A Ballo trance?" she questioned."Yeah. I probably shouldn't be telling you this but when our parents died, Ballo didn't really handle it as well as I did.
Four years ago...Ballo's POVDerek and I were about ready to graduate from High school. We were living with an African-American couple who adopted us because they didn't have any children. But they were mean set of people.Mr and Mrs Sheldon were the meanest set of people ever. They had adopted Derek and I for the purpose of turning us into their slaves. And Mr. Sheldon beat the crap out of us.So after Derek and I had graduated from High School, we left their house. We weren't fully eighteen yet so we had to escape.That's how we went from living in Chicago, Illinois to living in Los Angeles, California.Taking care of both Derek and myself was hard and I needed money to take care of both myself and Derek.Understand though, that I couldn't let Derek work. I felt like I was his guardian even though we were
Ball O's POV"I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Camilla said and that irritated me because she looked at me with pity."Please don't look at me like you pity." I told her without looking at her. All my life, that's all I got from people, pity and I was sick of it. I got that look of pity when Andre died, I saw it when my parents died and I see it everytime I tell people one of those sob stories from my past. And I couldn't stand it, it made me feel weak."I don't pity you, I actually admire you." She said.I looked at her but I didn't say anything else.We were still in my living. I'd been narrating my story for over an hour. Then I realized that someone needed to go back and check on Derek.Then I needed to get guards to protect Derek in the night in case someone came back and tried to hurt him.The worst part about this was that
Ballo's POVI had just gotten into underground fighting and it turns out I was really good at it. I was making up to $4,000 a week. I was a able to rent a nice house for Derek and I, buy a car and we could now eat regularly. Derek wondered how I was starting to make so much money but I couldn't tell him just yet. He was now in college and I didn't want him distracted. Derek worried a lot and I didn't want to give him a reason to do so. I had attended one week of college, decided it wasn't for me and left. Derek on the other hand was very happy to be in college studying architecture. Everything was going smoothly. Just a year after I started working with Romeo and his fighting crew, I got introduced to the world of drugs. At first it was just basic stuff, never really went into the real hard dr
Ballo's POVThe two hour flight from Seattle to California was excruciatingly long.We took the private jet [yes, I have a private jet] and nobody said a word the whole way there.I could feel the burning rage radiating from Derek after I had explained what was going on to him.I never gave him in full details what I had been doing to make money all those years until now.I knew he was angry because his jaws were clenched, his fist were balled and he was quiet. He never spoke when he was really pissed because he would be thinking of many ways to kill me.When we got to my condo in Seattle, we all got our the car and it was as though I was finally able to breathe easy.The two hour flight of tension and the thirty minutes we drove from the airport to the condo. It was nice to breath easy just for a little whil

Please read at your own risk or don't even read it at all. ~×~×~×~Ballo's POVI couldn't get Derek's words from my head the whole night. Worst part was that he really spent the whole day not talking to me.He spoke with Camilla and played with her kids and I had to keep a distance from all of them because I didn't want to make things awkward.I was now sitting in the living room scrolling through channels trying to find something to watch but there was nothing to watch so I just let The late night show play.I was so much in thought that I hadn't even noticed when Camilla had walked into the living room."Can't sleep, huh?" She said startling me."Damn, you fucking scared me!" I
