TIME JUMP : 7th Grade
The girls are now 12 years old

Chyna POV

My birthday was fun this year. My mom rented out a trampoline park in Florida and my family and friends came.

I had a big three layer cake that was vanilla because I hate chocolate cake. It was so good and my little cousins was tryna get more but I wasn't having it. No ma'am, no sir! I still have a whole layer left. Call it what you want but I'm not with the games.

Anyway, we're about to get back on the plane to New York and I can't wait to be home. It was a three day weekend but now we have to get back to school Tuesday. I'm in sixth grade now and it's cool.

Back In New York

So we are finally home and things have changed in the past few months. It's like every one is always fighting or something.

A few days before we left me and ma was at the mall and these men, wearing all black came in and pulled guns on another group. "Come on man it ain't that deep it was just a few hundred", one of them said.

Ma said the city is becoming divided. I know what it is. It means different gangs and stuff are not friendly with each other. I know Aaliyah's brother is apart of a group but I don't know which one.

Flashback
Me and Aaliyah were running around upstairs in her house when we heard someone getting angry.

"Shit man. What you mean? Yo man if Reggie find out that you let that slip he'll kill you bro".

"I know man I ain't mean to. I was a lil messed up that night and I wasn't loaded. I wasn't trynna die", said the person on the phone.

"I bet it was them niggas from Brooklyn", Aaliyah's big brother said.

(Aaliyah's big brother is in the opposite gang from Brooklyn because he lives with his father in Harlem. Liyah and her brother Dontae have different dads and the same mom. He was coming to Aaliyah's house to visit her and their mother.)

Back to flashback!

"See man this the exact reason I don't like leaving Harlem", Dontae said.

"My bad man. I know I'm always asking for you to cover it up for me fam, but please yo." The phone was on speaker so I could hear it clear.

"Ight fam, I got it."

We heard Dontae coming to the door so we ran down the steps.

"Ayo Liyah and Chy man y'all come here".

Me and Aaliyah looked at each other and slowly made our way back upstairs before I put my hand out stopping Aaliyah.

"Or we could just run away real quick so he don't yell at us", I suggested.

By the time we looked up he was already standing there. Don grabbed us both up in his arms.

"What y'all did? What imma be mad about?" I guess he overheard me.

"Nothing Donny", me and Liyah both said.

He was staring at us hard and I almost gave in.

"Alright here". He handed us both five 10 dollar bills.

"Thanks Donny", we both said. He let us down and we were about to run off. "Aye!" Dang. We was caught. We turned around fast. "Where my kisses?" We both sighed in relief  before we ran and showered both his cheeks in kisses".

"I'm bout to go y'all. Be good and don't give ya moms no trouble. I love y'all"

"Ight Dukes, I'm stepping out love you"

"I love you too boy don't be gone away from us for too long this time you hear"?

"Ight ma" And with that he was on his way.

End of Flashback!

Authors Note!
Thank y'all for reading this chapter. The flashback will help in the future for understanding. I know y'all probably getting a lil impatient for it to heat up but just wait yall.

Let us know how y'all feeling about it so far and any suggestions y'all may have.  I don't really know any New York cities so we just gon pretend that Harlem And Brooklyn are beefing😂. Byeeeee💛!
