Chapter 1: Torn Apart

(Well here I am watching as they throw the last bit of dirt over my mother's coffin. Look at me all dress in black with my ray ban shades on. But don't think for a second I am hiding any tears. Look at these people I don't even know what they crying for. Half of them don't even know my mom. Look at my father he can't even control himself. I would think for him to be the biggest pastor in Memphis he would have better control, guess not. To be honest I don't even know why he acting this way, my mom put him through high hills and mountains. I just can't believe they had the nerve to name me Freedom. That's not even the bad part everybody calls me free, there is nothing free about my life. But I will be in 6 months when I turn 18 and sign my contract to Def jam.)

Freedom stood up after breaking out of her own thoughts as they all said their finally goodbyes to her mother. Under her shades nobody could tell she was staring at her first cousin Karma. Deep inside she had a lot of envy towards her cousin. Karma had the body of Trina, and long black jet hair, and milk chocolate body complexion that would even make a preacher sin. In her eyes Karma was the one who was really free.

As everyone shared their last tears, secretly Freedom plastered a smile across her face. As Freedom was making her way to her dad all black Mercedes coupe she heard her cousin in the distance.

"Yo little cut, where you rushing off to."

Freedom took her glasses off in a confuse state. "What you mean," said Freedom

"What you mean, what I mean come and ride with your big cuz."

Freedom glance at her father because she knew how her father felt about her hanging with her cousin.

When she saw the look on her uncle face she already knew he wanted a word with her. So she just walked over towards him she tried to play it off,

"So what's up me and little cuz trying to go for a stroll to clear our minds for a little bit".

"Karma you 24 years old, you a grown woman but its rules to this game."

Karma snaps her teeth. Lamont lashed out on her.

"See that's your problem you think you know it all, you riding around in an all-white 2014 Lexus do you really think I don't know what you do. You walk around with your coco-cola body figure, what you want to be a sex symbol too?"

Karma slid in a smart remark, "yeah you would know about the streets wouldn't you."

Lamont grab his niece face with aggressive force. For the first time in Karma life she felt fear. She heard stories about her uncle, not knowing if the stories were true or not. But this was the first time she felt and saw the fire in his eyes.

"You don't know anything about me. The things you hear you better act like it's a whisper in the wind and swallow it."

Karma jerks her face away and turned her back on her uncle. At that exact moment Lamont realize what he had done. He gently put his hands on her shoulders, "niece you know I love you right?"
