View MoreButterfly POV:We left my apartment and headed to the motel where Treasure is employed. I felt relieved when she phoned me to see if I was interested in making money. It's unfortunate that I had to grow up fast because being on your own comes with a lot of responsibility. My desire was to live as a typical teenager, prioritizing academics, socializing with friends, and attending parties. My mom's actions led to her taking it away, betraying me in the process. I'm still struggling to process all the things I've discovered about her; she had no remorse while I wasted two years in juvenile.I hold a deep hatred for that woman, and I meant it when I said that I want nothing to do with her; she is dead to me. My priority now is to regain control of my life and release my painful past. Tracking down my father is one of the things I want to achieve. I need to hear his reasons for abandoning us? I had always felt unwanted, my mother's love disappeared when that monster entered the picture. I
Treasure POV:I'm currently in my room, packing up clothes. We’re in for a busy night ahead. Since the girls are getting ready and will need my help, I'll be staying at the motel for the weekend. To make things more convenient for me, and I really detest being at home. My mother and her boyfriend bring so much drama into my life. During a recent altercation, she accused me of once again trying to seduce her boyfriend, going as far as calling it World War III. Naturally, that jerk exacerbates the situation by pursuing me whenever my mother is absent. There's no way I would give him my attention.My mother trusts this jerk, which has led to fights between us. The injuries sustained in our previous altercation affected both of us. My lip got busted and I ended up with scratches on my arms, while my mother got a black eye and a broken arm. I had no choice but to defend myself. Just as I was zipping up my bag, I heard my door opening. I glanced around and saw Dax standing there, his eyes f
Butterfly POV: Two weeks had pass since being in this town, I am finally settling into my apartment. There was not much I have; I only had a few things. Even though that I am emancipated and underage I have a social worker to come and check on time twice a week. Also, I have received resources that help me get the things I needed for my place. I am so grateful for the help since I do not have any money or a job any little thing helps. It feels weird being back in school because I am used to how things were back in juvenile hall. There they had a teacher come once a week to teach us, the teacher could never finish the lesson without a fight breaking out. The last fight was so bad that the teacher was injured. After that the warden shut the school program down, instead we had to take online classes. That made it more difficult with a small room with eight computers, and a lot of girls not fun at all. I was sitting in my history class going through my phone when I heard some
Harlem POV: Finally, school had ended for the day. I’m glad because I was tired of hearing the Teachers with their boring lectures. The feeling of being in high school is so intense that sometimes I just want to scream. I am counting down the days until I graduate. I already have plans of going back to my hometown. This boring ass town is unbearable for me to be in, so I must leave. I was placing my last book in my locker when I saw Charmaine approaching me.“Hey Harlem, how are you?”“I’m doing good how about you?”“The same, I’m glad that school have finally ended for today.”“Same here” From there Charmaine and I continue to talk, we were so embracing in our conversation that we did not notice someone appear until heard someone clearing their throat. We turn to see that it was Alana and Jackson, they stood staring at us. Jackson gave me a nod while Alana gave me a look that shows lust in her eyes. Before anyone took notice, she changes her expression and show a look of angrier
Treasure POV: Sitting here in the principal getting lecture is no fun at all. Every time I believe that the principal finished talking. He keeps ongoing on how it's not good to fight, as he continues talking, I glare at Alana. If this bitch only knew what I was feeling about her right now, I want to strangle her so badly. Having these thoughts is taking me to a dark place that I do not want to go. So, I try to keep calm, finally the principal concluded his speech. He left us off with a warning, and if next time we want to be lucky. If he only knew that this was only the beginning, finally I could leave the office. When I walk out, I saw Butterfly standing there wait for me. I could not help but to smile. It has been months since I see her. It's nice to have a friend here with me. I no longer must feel alone in this fuck up town.“Hey you waited for me?" I ask“Of course, why would I leave while my friend being scolded in the principal office?"“You have a point, let get ou
Butterfly POV: I woke up from the sunlight coming into my room through my window. I was in my new apartment; it felt strange at first because I was so used to sharing a room with someone. The feeling that I’m getting now I could not help but to smile. Finally, after a few months, Mr. Tatum could get the courts to approve me for my emancipation. The day that he told me all I could do was cry tears of joy, because for once in my life things are turning in a good direction for me it is all thanks to Mr. Tatum. I got out of bed, walked over to my closet and pull out my clothes and headed to the bathroom to take my shower. Today is the first day I start school, in a new town. What I love about it is that I get to rebuild my friendship with Treasure. I miss her so much I cannot wait to surprise her. I always wonder how she was since being released? Even though we write to each other. I was glad that Mr. Tatum pull some strings to locate Treasure and the school she was attending. Wit
Treasure POV:English class is finally finished. Exiting the classroom, I made my way to my locker to grab my books for the next classes. Placing the books in my bag, I close my locker and make my way to the cafeteria. Harlem and I are meeting up there to talk about our English paper. Upon entering the cafeteria, I scanned the room until I spotted Harlem seated at a table near the exit door.It's great that he chose the perfect spot because I don't enjoy being in the cafeteria. I prefer being alone and have no intention of making friends; it's difficult to trust people when you can't tell if they're genuine or fake. Not only that people can become judgmental when they find out you was in juvenile. Before you know you already label as a trouble maker. Also I’m not sticking around once high school ended. I need to get away from all this drama that my life had to endure, its sad that my life have turn out like this that sometimes I feel depress. There was a time in my life that I had tho
Butterfly POV:As promised, they released me a few days later. I was still in disbelief to where I thought I was dreaming. On my last day, Warden Sanders threw me a going away party. He told me he appreciates how I was an excellent role model to some girls. Also he said he knew I was a good kid, and he does not want to see me coming back here again. I agree I never wanted to be here in the first place because of circumstances I had no choice. Other girls approached me and congratulated me, while other girls gave me a look of jealousy. I did not care I was leaving no one or nothing was going to ruin my happiness. I was in my room, packing up my stuff, it was not much, a few clothes, and some books. After I finished packing, I took a look around the room that had been my home for the past two years. All the memories flowing through my mind, the good, and the bad. Once those memories faded from my mind tears fall from my eyes, I’m finally leaving all of this behind.“Rivers” I turn to

I remember like it was yesterday after I kill the monster my mother calls the police and told them what she has witness. She told them how she saw me stabbing Barry to death. Then the police came over to me and started questioning me, in fear I told them everything from Barry raping me and getting me pregnant and how he attacked me and losing my baby. From there the police gave me a pitiful look then my mother interrupted and told the police that I was making everything up. It never happens, she also told them I was jealous of her and that monster relationship. She did so many things to where the police believed her. From there it turned my world upside down.
