ALL THE PRETTY GEMS
It was the summer of 02' and love was hard to find. All the pretty gems couldn't compare to that summer. The summer that Ann met Chris. It was a rare fanasty. Their love was real and they embraced it.
It was the urban summer. With parties, clubs, and crime it was the ideal summer in this city. As Ann sat in her upscale house surrounded by trees, a garden, and the wall. This wall was high and made of brick, and she could only see over it if she sat on her balcony three stories up. From there she could see the park. This park was the center of her imagination. It had swings, wooden play castles, volleyball, baseball, basketball, benches, and a pinic area. Ann could never leave the grounds though. Her father had forbidden it.
Chris was playing basketball with his fellow gang members when her saw her. This girl on the balcony across the wall. She was always there, and he had watched her grow along with himself. She was the enemy though. Yet he was drawn to her. She was so regal, like a princess waiting to be rescued.
Ann saw this man stare at her, her whole life. He stared at her from the basketball court. It made her unesy. He just stode there. She was scared. Then came the sound of her father's voice. Relieved she obeyed her father's voice and followed.
Although Chris's friends made fun of him for staring, none of them pushed him to far. They all know that he's the best shot and is known for it around the whole city.
It all started the day Ann found a trapdoor in the wall. It lead to the place she craved. The outside world. She'd never have to imagine what it was like she could now feel it, see it, join it. She was overwhelmed by all of this she just had to tell Rich and Leann. They were her only friends and her only links to the outside. Now she could join them in their adventures. So she waited till that night when everyone was asleep when she went downstairs and found the two waiting for her at the front door. She tiptoed outside the door and locked it carefully. Then with the three of them alone she told them of her discovery. They were as excited as she was about it. Without even deciding where they would go they all went to the trapdoor and left.
They ran around town for about an hour before they found a club. It was called LORD'S HALL, and owned by her families greatest rival. The Lord's another gang. Her father had warned her about this place and told her never to go in it unless she wanted to die. After Rich and Leann talked to her about going in she finally gave in and they entered. They had to surrender their guns outside and all of them were lucky enough to not bring their gang guns which had the crest of the INNOCENCE on it. Once inside everything became a rush of excitement to Ann. Everyone was dancing and singing. She saw a man eyeing her from the dance floor. She got up and moved toward him. She met him only halfway. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side. He pulled her through beaded curtains and up against a wall. "Hey buddy you got a lot of nerve." "Well so do you princess. You're lucky I'm not gonna tell anyone who you are." This man said quietly in her ear. "How do you know who I am?" "I've seen you grow. Yeah that's right princess it's been me looking at ya for all them years."He said with a smirk. "Jake get lost and don't pretend to be me. Got it?" Said a stranger now approaching them. "Yeah yeah me lord." "Good get lost." There is a pause until Jake is gone. "So princess give me one reason why I shouldn't let any of the guys here have their way with ya?" Ann was now becoming upset and wanted to leave. "You'll start a war." She said wishing tha he would let her go. "Oh good one but not good enough. I need something more convincing." Ann pushed herself up against him and drew close to his face then smiled. "Because I could make you very happy right now and if I go then who then will give you a good time." "Umm good. Don't worry I won't tell anyone. So now that that's all straightened up let's dance."
