Chapter: 30

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

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

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

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: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 starting to feel fatigue after some hours, and the crowd is larger than before. word must had gotten out about this, all I can said is that I hope nothing happen tonight. Butterfly has been on my mind; I am curious about how she is. I felt anxious given that she had never been in a comparable situation. I'm praying for her safety tonight because I don't want her to relive traumatic memories, especially after everything she's been through.Upon leaving one of my assigned rooms, I ran into Candy in the hallway. She was in a red robe, cigarette in hand, when I saw her."Hey girl, what's happening? I haven't seen you all night," I said."I'm good, the night's been busy as you can tell," Candy expressed.“I realize the crowd is larger this time, but we need the money,” I said, chuckling.“ I agree”“ Have you seen Butterfly?” I asked"She has been cleaning my room, yes, and ought to be close to done; let’s go there now."I nodded at Candy, and we began to walk. As we appro
