"Don't leave." I cried clinging on to Keshion.
"I'm coming back for you Kaelyn. When I get my shit together. Believe that." He told me.
"Promise me." I said.
"I promise. Keep your head up sis. It will be a year at most." He promised. I nodded and...
"For Free" blared out of the speakers of the club as I walked on stage. I treated the club like a stadium, and the pole was my mic. I danced my heart out. Money flew at me from all directions. It was hard to see exactly where it came from.
I climbed high up on the pole and slowly slid down into a split: my signature ending. I collected my money and walked into the dressing room.
I counted it out. $5,000 even. That's about my average nightly.
I got dressed and got my stuff together and made my way home.
"Honey I'm home!" I smiled walking through the door. I met her in the kitchen.
No not a girlfriend.
My best friend and roommate, Simiya, smiled back at me.
"Bitch your Dm is blowing up. Hella rappers want you in their videos." She told me. She watches my social media accounts to for me and basically does all of the work a publicist would do.
"Show me the list of names. I'll get back with you." I told her before walking into my room. Today was long as hell.

"Nigga where is the money you owe me?" I asked. Daniel just looked at me.
"Bro. See, I had it. I had all of it, but then we went to the strip club. You know I gave half of that shit to Diamond."
I took a deep breath.
"If you wasn't my bro..." I trailed off.
"You have to see her bro. She bad as fuck. Shit. She don't do private shows, but imma fuck around and get her one day though."
"I gotta see this girl." I said.
"I'm telling you bro. Come with me tomorrow after I get off the block." He said.
"Aight, but imma need my money first nigga." I said as I mushed him. I walked out. Daniel has been my homie since I started on the block. It didn't take long for me to work my way up the ladder. Hell, I have always been a business man. I brought my boy up with me. He just can't stay away from the streets.
I got love for the streets, but I'm trying to find my way up out of here. First, I have to find my sister. She was emancipated from the foster system, and now I can't even get in contact with her. We've completely lost touch.
I'm still searching for though. I pray I find her in one piece. If anything happened to her, I'd die. My little sister is my whole heart. That's why I been cold in these streets.
I have to find Kaelyn
