** Jasmine's p.o.v. **

            Adrian was having another party tonight. His whole crew was there, and some other people from the races. We came in with his arm around my shoulders . " Shit ". I whispered as I saw Letty's pissed off face.

" Tell these fucking people to get out of here! ". She screamed at Adrian. Adrian chuckled.

" Make me ". He said taking his arm off my shoulders. Letty huffed, and swung at him. Adrian ducked, and caught her arm, swinging it behind her, threatening to break it.

" Adrian please, lets just go dance ". I said my eyes growing wide. He let go of her and followed me. ' Big Head ' by Ms. Jade was playing. I started grinding against him, as I grabbed his chain, wrapping my fingers around the saint that hung from it.  Letty had disappeared. Letty was my cousin, and we lived in hell. I loved Adrian, but he was into so much shit, that I was afraid of losing him one day. Letty hated him. Her boyfriend was Adrian's best friend, and had died in a drive by shooting. Letty blamed it on Adrian. It was hard living in the ghettos of Queens. I wish I had gotten an education when I had the chance, it was too late now. I had found Adrian, and was afraid to leave him.

** Letty's p.o.v. **

            I ran up to my room, trying to avoid all the happy couples. I opened my bedroom door to find a couple making out on my bed.

" Get out! ". I screamed grabbing the female by her hair and throwing her out. The male followed with a frown on his face. I slammed the door locking it, and then threw myself onto the bed. Tears rolled down my face. I would be alone forever. No one could ever replace Ricky. It was Adrian's fault he was dead, if it wasn't for all the illegal deals he makes, then Ricky would still be alive.  Pain pierced my heart. We were going to get married this summer…I sobbed into my pillow, remembering all my happy memories with Ricky. I then heard a soft knock on my door. " Go away! ". I screamed. Who ever it was started picking the lock. I grew furious, but calmed down when I saw it was Jasmine.

" Hey chica ". Jasmine said sitting down next to me. She wiped away my tears and brought me into a hug. I pulled away softly. She saw my pain and frowned. " You'll find some one new, don't worry ". She said smiling faintly.

" I don't want some one new, I want Ricky! ". I screamed. Jasmine looked down, a few tears running down her face. Ricky was like family, he had a spot in everyone's heart. Adrian walked in, signaling for Jasmine to come with him. She smiled a good bye, and left. I walked into the bathroom, and got ready for a shower.

** Jasmine's p.o.v. **

            I followed Adrian into our room. He wrapped his arms around my waist bringing me into a kiss. I responded and opened my mouth. His tongue snaked in desperately, and caught mine. I moaned into the kiss, and closed the door behind us. We fell on the bed, and I broke away.

" What's wrong babe? ". Adrian asked confused. I sat up, leaning on my elbows.

" Babe, is there any chance that you can give up all this illegal shit? ". I said in that hopeful tone.

" Your kiddin right? ". He asked chuckling.

" Baby I'm just scared to lose you ". I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. He placed a hand under my chin, and kissed me softly.

" You're not going to ". He said smiling. I pushed his hand away, and ran to Letty's room. " Jasmine! ". He called after me, but I didn't look back.

*~*~*~*~*~

            I woke up in the floor next to Letty's bed. The sunlight was hitting my face.

" Jasmine? ". Letty said as she woke up.

" Yea ". I said looking up.

" What are you doing here? ". She asked.

" Fought with Adrian last night ". I explained.

" Did he hurt you!?! ". Letty screamed.

" No, I just wanted him to give up all of this illegal shit ". I said sadly.

" Oh " She said nodding.

" Common girls! ". I heard Adrian scream through the door. I frowned, and got up walking towards the door.

** Letty's p.o.v. **

            We met up with some friends at their house. We sat outside, Jasmine and I sitting on our cars, and the others talking in a group. I threw my head back enjoying the soft breeze. I started to hear a faint noise, but disregarded it. It became higher, I made out the noise as police sirens. " Fuck " I whispered. That could be for us, I didn't know, so much crap happened on this block, that I couldn't be sure. The police came closer, and I could see them heading our way.

" Jasmine, Letty, take your cars and get the fuck out of here! ". Adrian shouted.

"  There is no fucking way I'm leaving you here Adrian! ". Jasmine screamed. Adrian rushed over to her, and shoved her into the car. I ran into mine.

** Jasmine's p.o.v. **

                   Adrian kissed me roughly, and then quickly broke away, starting the car for me.

" Please, Adrian, come with me, I'm not leaving you here ". I shouted. He shook his head.

" If I go with you, then they'll just follow, and I'm not letting them take you to jail ". He said, closing the door. I took a deep breath. He kissed me one more time, then ordered me to leave.  I followed his orders, and took off after Letty. I looked back as the cops grabbed him, and pushed him roughly up against the patrol car, hand cuffing him. Tears flowed out of my eyes. I knew this would happen one day, I knew it…my cell rung, and I picked it up.

" Letty? ". I asked.

" Yea, where do we go? ". She asked.

" I don't know, they don't have shit on us except that we were somehow related to him, I say we go to L.A. for the time being ". She decided quickly. I wiped my eyes, and nodded.

" Ok ". I said holding back tears.
