"Gina?" I unlocked my door urgently then slipped my right hand onto my semi-automatic pistol. I feared the worst in my own apartment. Why was she here out of all places? She wasnt suppose to be here due to the fact we basically were most wanted by out enemies. It'd be easy to catch us both lackin' but I'd drop everything and go anywhere Gina at.

"I miss the old me Kay.." I heard her whisper after spending 10 minutes tryna find her. She laid on the floor in my closet with her flash light beaming to the ceiling. "Let's talk about the old you then" I said getting inside the closet, sliding the door shut after sitting across from her with my knees elevated a little. It was enough space for the both of us.

I observed her whole appearance. Gina's cheeks was stained with new and old tears. Her hair was in a kinky mess but you could tell she tried to maintain its wildness. Those eyes above those puffy eyelids glossed more than the lipgloss she ever applied on her lips.

It had only been a couple seconds in a closet with Gina and I felt as if I could breathe again. She caught me staring at her and quickly began wiping her tears, fixing the hair, and adjusting her clothes.

"You don't have to do tha–

"My own momma don't even want me no more.." her voice was so low and cracked that it made me feel a heart ache.

"Why she don't want me Kayden?" Our eyes met once again. Gina's pain was written all over her face that it was hard for me to fight back showing my true emotions. "She let me back in after you left me.. but she kicked me out cause word on the street is: im nothing but trouble. So I have nobody" Gina sniffled while giving me a fake half smile. The whole facade dropped and soon more tears slid down. I never seen Gina cry like this before.

She lost everything and it was because of me. That closet space gave me enough room to pull her whole body gently between my legs. Gina laid on me, on her side with her head placed on my chest. Comforting her with my arms drapped around her shoulders and my head on her chin.

"You know I'm bout to school you on some shit..." I said swallowing my guilt while rubbing circles on her back with my thumb.

"Never depend on anybody. All you have is yourself. Even if you have people on your team... like dodge ball... You start with multiple niggas on ya side, shit happens, and then you the last one standing with no one to support,guide, or make sure u got everything you need in life. No parent ,no auntie, uncle.. Ain't nobody gon do you how you do YOU. All you got is you"

Gina's tears stopped dripping as much onto my arms. I would never think I'd be in a closet with a girl,being there for her.

The closet part is the one honestly.

"Even when we not together.. I'm gonna be there for you. When im not around, i'll be on my way as soon as you dial my number. I don't want you to ever feel like its just you alone. I know the feeling and I'd hate for you to go through it Ma..." I spoke sternly forcing back more tears, hoping she understood.

Next thing I know a pair of soft lips is pressed against my somewhat dark backwood smoker lips. Gina's lips was my favorite physical feature on her. I gripped her hair back, breaking the kiss, watching her gasp so vaguely as if she was hungry to devour me again made me pull myself to her and reconnect.

I kept my hands tangled in her kinky, moisturized hair as she rubbed and gripped every part of my upper body.

"Don't ever leave me okay?" She whispered once she was able to break the kiss. I couldn't process what she asked after that heated make out session so all I did was nod as I bit down my bottom lip narrowing my eyes on her plump lips. Was I about to have make up sex in my closet?

Fuck it.

The sun, being the bright bitch it is, lit up the room to how I left it before we had to relocate. I groaned, stretching my bare arms above my head, releasing a big ass yawn. We laid naked on the floor with our lower legs and hips inside the closet and upper outside of it. Gina laid curled up by my side naked. That body was something else I tell you. I slapped her ass loud enough for it to echo. She moaned in response from the action, looking up to me, and making her lips form into an ear to ear smile.

"Sounds like you want more" I smirked while reaching down to my dick. Gina stared at me as if she was contemplating what she should do. One minute, we laying on the floor waking up to the birds chirping.

The next second, her legs are up to her chest and my dick is dumb deep inside her trembling body with my hand over her mouth.

I watched in enjoyment as her eyes rolled back into her head each time I drilled her. Feeling her tighten up around me only to release every 5 minutes was the highlight of my day. Just watching Gina moan got my dick hard.

After we had almost 7 rounds, I ordered Gina some breakfast platter while she was knocked out. Talking on the phone with Chris, he told me about how he got his crazy cousin comin to town to add to our group. Crazy how you would involve your own family into some bullshit that ain' got nun to do with em but fuck it.

The door bell rang from afar. Jogging to the door, I looked through the peep hole to see the person I've been waiting for. He had our food piled into a plastic bag but what threw me off was how scared he looked. Opening up and handin' him the exact change, I eye balled him curiously. He almosy shoved the food to my stomache, urging me to take it. "Theres someone outside waiting for you with groups of niggas in the car" He trembled, narrowing his eyes at me with a pleading look.

"Get out of here with the girl while you can" , He whispered quickly before dashing down the hall to the exit. The alarming feeling set in that Gina and I were being targeted now. I slammed the door and ran to the back room. Looking for Gina, she was nowhere to be found. Beads of sweats trickled down my face as each second went by. "Baby?" Gina said drenching her hair with one of my towels, appearing out the bathroom.

"Come on throw your clothes on Gina" I urged as I ran to my room for a brand new outfit. "Didn't even wash up" Gina giggled while sliding her legs into her panties. "Theres no time to joke, baby, theyre outside" I said quickly. While lacing my sneakers, I peeped out the window and seen unfamiliar vehicles that did not belong in my neighborhood. I peeped the most notorious gang member's cousins getting hidden objects out of their trunks.

"Kayden, what's out there?" She said and soon Gina looked out the window too, seconds before I ran to my cellphone. Chris answered on the second ring and soon became alert to my situation. " I told yo rusty stubborn corny pathetic loose booty holed ass that Gina ain' who she say she is!" He roared.

I said nothing as I thought of ways to escape without anymore people dying. "Go out through the back way and I'll get Day Day to come get ya'll... he's only around the corner" Chris sighed then hung up. I ran to Gina as she looked up from the window to me.

Gunshots erupted out of nowhere, hitting the windows we were near. I gripped her wrist and yanked her to follow me. We ran as fast as we could out of the apartment, not forgetting to grab the food I ordered off the counter. I figured these niggas were amateurs by the way they just began shooting outside but ruthless to the point they didnt care how fast the pigs would arrive to stop them. Running down the steps, Gina almost tripped with her clumsy ass but I made sure that shit ain' slow us down by picking her up as soon as she hit the ground.

"Come on ,he's outside waiting for us" I yelled, grasping every bit of strength I had in me to make it out alive. Slamming the door open, a blue mustang appeared before us. His cousin Day Day unlocked the car before hopping out and staying on his side of the vehicle. "Nigga what you doin?" I shouted hysterically while letting Gina get in first. Day Day had somewhat of a small head, white straight pearly teeth, and you could tell he was a goofy ass nigga.

"Get in dummy" He said reaching for his waist. Shouting was heard from afar, letting us know that they know we escaped through the back. As soon as I hid inside the car, Day Day let the shots go. I grasped Gina's fragile body into mine and prayed we'd make it out alive. Minutes later, The shots stopped and the driver's door opened. The vehicle tilted as someone got inside and started driving.

Peeking up, Day Day hummed a tune with blood splattered all over his white t-shirt. He turned on music and began singing along to Lil Durk, neighborhood hero. Once we came to a res light that was far away from my house, he turned his upper body around to look at us. I studied Chris's cousin and assumed I was gonna like this nigga around.

"Next time we gon' murder niggas together for bonding sake" He smiled showing all his teeth which was somewhat stained with blood. He looked insane in a cool ass dark way. "Im Day Day aka goofball" He held his hand out for me to snap fingers with him. After snapping fingers, He averted his attention to Gina, whom made me jealous by the way she held fascination in her eyes by the sight of Day Day.

Or it was just me being me.

"You must be the Gina" He changed his tone for her and I watched the lust in his eyes grow dark. I snapped my fingers in his face and pointed forward before saying "green light nigga" with an aggravated tone. He turned his head then his whole body back forward to begin driving. Gina looked up to me and I made sure to kiss her forehead.

"We gon' be okay Gina" I said softly earning a small grin from her.

"Yea we gon' be cool" Day Day chirped from upfront doing his signature, corny joker smile while staring straight while I glared at him viciously through the rear view mirror .
