Today I'm moving in with Dana. We found a place in Compton, with low rent. I had to get out of that house, it was getting crowded and plus Linda had moved in with us. Daddy is trying to work things out with her. Cam has practically moved in with us. Erica eats like a pig now! She needs to on a diet cause she starting to get fat. I was moving my stuff out when I saw Linda. "You need any help?!" She said and then picked up a box. "I got it." I said and grabbed the other boxes and took them to my car.
Erin
I was laying in the tube. My back hurt and feet were kinda swore. I was so stressed, I was out of my mind. I looked down at my belly.

I couldn't hide it anymore. It was starting to show. I had to wear really lose clothes all the time and sneak to the doctor. I'm really scared. I'm not ready for no baby. I got out the tube and dried myself off. I needed to go find a Halloween Costume. I throw on baggy shirt and was about to put on my pants but I heard some glass breaking. I hurried up and threw my pants on. I heard my Mom yelling. "Get the fuck out!" I jogged towards my mom who was running from the kitchen to the front door with plates in her hand. "Get the fuck out!" Throwing the dishes at my dads car. She broke his window with the last dish she threw. "Momma stop please!" I said trying to grab her. She threw another dish and then daddy took off. She threw the rest of them on the house floor which end caused some glass to hit my feet and cut them. "Fuck him! Fuck everyone! Fuck your father! He's a no good piece of shit! That rotten bastard cheated on me!" She said yelling! She life her cigarette.

I knew I couldn't be around the smoke I didn't want nothing wrong with my baby but I knew once I told my mom she would flip over the edge. "Momma you shouldn't smoke!" I said. She looked up at me and then stood up. "Who the fuck are you to tell me, where the fuck I can smoke?! I own this bitch! You don't pay a bill in here!" She said and My fave just laid in disbelief. I walked back to my room and started packing my stuff. "So you just gonna leave!" I heard my mom by the door with a drink in her hand. "Right now! I don't have no choice! I'm not gonna put up with this mess that your going through! So when you get it together, you can call me!" I said closing my suit case and and grabbing all my things up and putting them into my wagon. "Your gonna be back!" She yelled and slammed the door behind her.
Cube
I was unpacking some stuff and waiting on Dana to get home. I was happy I was moving in with my baby I mean she not all of that but she makes me happy and that's all that matters cause in my eye she could never do anything wrong. While I was thinking a knock on the door disrupted me. I got up to open the door and Erin was standing there and she had a wagon dragging it behind her with stuff in it. "What's going on?!" I asked her and then pushed her into the house so she cold get out the cool air. "We got to talk Cube!" She said sitting down on the floor cause they didn't have any furniture. "Yeah what good?" I said. "Cube, you remember that night after Dre had dropped us off at your house after Lonzo's Club?!" She said with her eyes getting glassy. "Yeah I remember! How could I forget?!" I said thinking about that night. About 6 months ago, the night Erin stayed with Erica and Erica fell asleep on her so she walked to kitchen for something to drink and I just so happened to be up around the same time. I was watching the Jeffersons which was her favorite show. She heard the theme song and came to my room and sat on my bed. She was looking good that night and she was alone and daddy was sleep. So one thing lead to another. "What is it Erin?!" I said trying to get her to spit it out. She then took off her sweater and it showed her belly. "How you get pregnant?!" I asked with nervous tone to my voice. "By you!" She said. I got up and started pacing the floor. I turned around and locked the door so that Dana would not walk in on us. "How you get it passed the cops and the investigation and all of that when you got kidnapping?!" I asked her. "I paid to use someone else's pee so my mom wouldn't know!" She said. "Why you didn't tell me earlier, I would have helped I would have done anything!" I said. "I was scared, no one knows but you and me now!" She said. "Does Erica know?!" I asked. If you wondering, me and Erin were cousins by marriage of my mom and my mom and dad are divorced so we ain't even in laws right now. But Erica and Erin still call each other Cousin from time to time. "No she doesn't know! I wanna be the one to tell her tho cause I can't hide it any longer!" She said. I walked up to her and say next to her. "You know what it is yet?" I asked. "It's a girl." She said and smiled. I went to touch her belly but I got scared. "It's not gonna bite you and plus it's yours!" She said and grabbed my hand and placed it on her belly. I couldn't believe that I was having a baby.
Erica
"Drree!" As yelled as he was tickling me. I was laughing uncontrollably. Some how Dre made me laugh just by a simple smile from him. Right now I only wanted Dre as a friend and it's gonna stay that way cause right now I have a lot on my plate. I literally have Cam all day everyday. Even after school lets out. E took me out and showed me the ropes of selling and tonight was the first night of doing it on my own. I was scared out of my mind. "Well I'll see you later!" Dre said and kissed me on the cheek and walked to his car.
*later that night* I was riding in the car with E and then he stopped. "You ready baby?!" He asked me and I looked over to him. "Yeah I'm ready baby!" I said and then kissed him and got out the car. E was in front of me and I was following in behind him, I really wasn't to scared. He walked up to the door and knocked on it 3 times. A guy slid a peep hole. "Who is you nigga?!" The guy said. E pulled out his gun and pointed to his face through the peep hole. "Your worst fucking nightmare, if you don't open this fucking door." He said. The peep hole closed and the door opened. I followed E inside the dope house. "Who's the bitch?!" The guy said in the chair. I pulled out my gun and pointed to his face. "Nigga it's boss bitch to you!" I said leaning I'm closer. I heard a gun cock behind me and then I heard another gun cock. "Bitch nigga I wouldn't do that if I were you!" E said pointing the gun at the guys head who had the gun at my head. Then I heard another gun cock in the corner by that ugly bitch. So I pulled out the other gun that I had on my other side. "Try me Bitch!" I said. "Put the guns down." The guy said sitting in the couch. They put their guns down and I put mines back on my side. E grabbed the drugs out of his jacket and I grabbed the drugs out of my hoodie. "Here's yo shit!" E said. I then heard sirens. Me and E ran to the back. E went through the bathroom window and I ran through the back door. I ran through the back side of someone's house and then I got caught on a hook of some kind and I couldn't get lose and I heard the dogs coming. 'Fuck fuck!' I through them I felt someone pulling on my clothes. "Take your hoodie!" E said. I took off my hoodie and E pulled me to the top of the roof and then lite the hoodie on fire. Me and E ran 4 blocks before stopping. "You alright?!" He said breathing heavily. "Yeah! I'm fine!" I said breathing harder. "Where's the money E?!" I asked and then E looked around to make sure no one was looking and then reached into his jacket and pulled out thousands of dollars of drug money.
