PROLOGUE : TIFFANY'S F**KED UP LIFE

my mother always warned me to not get caught up with love too early but sadly I didn't listen. I got tied in the knots of love but for me it wasn't the right type of love. It wasn't all about cuddling on the couch watching Netflix, it wasn't about going out to fancy restaurants every week, it wasn't about warm hugs and sweet kisses, it wasn't about anything but words. He spoke to me so well it made me weak. Always knowing the right thing to say to make me stay.

"I promise I'll be back soon just wait patiently okay baby girl and then maybe when I come back we can watch a movie". Well guess what... there was never any movie every time he left he was gone for a while and even if he did come back as he said he'd be too high or too drunk to even remember what he said to me before. He tried to deny all the drugs and stuff he's been using but I knew what he was doing. sometimes I'd see his stuff laying around but I never said anything knowing it'll get him upset.

I wanted love so bad and god saw that but punished me for giving into temptation. My mother especially punished me. When I was in high school and finally met Isiah it was like my whole world was finally clear. With his black curls and his face that was just so... fine. We clicked instantly and started dating about a month after we met. My mom found out a couple months later that I was seeing this boy after she caught me sneaking out of the house to meet him. But she didn't say anything until summer vacation finally came which was 4 months later.

During summer vacation we were finally supposed to move from Compton, California where I grew up for most of my life one of the most ghetto, and toughest streets in America- to Daytona Florida which was right off the beach. I was finally gonna be free from all this madness and danger in the streets but my mom finally figured out a punishment good enough for me at that moment.

"Since you wanna disobey my rules and go off and date that thug of yours you can stay here and live with him. I mean how bad could it be you can finally be with the one you love instead of having to sneak out of my house all the time. What a nice graduation present don't you think".

I never thought that giving into temptation had such a bad punishment. Even though moving to Florida was one the best things I've ever heard,
a part of me didn't want to leave Isiah behind after all we've been through, and now turns out my wish has been granted, but not entirely. I wished I could've been in Florida and still had Isiah.

I begged my mom for the longest time to take me with her to Florida but she didn't listen "it's settled Tiffany. I told you several times to not get into any relationships until after high school. You need to focus on school and your grades: I was wondering why your grades had dropped you started off with A's and B'a but ever since you started seeing that boy and yes I knew from the start- your grades dropped to C's and D's. You were probably out there skipping class with him or something. Your life depends on these grades so you can get a good college education, get a good job and get a better life than I could have ever provided you. But you wanna sit here and play games and stay stuck in this life you call love? The boy could have gotten you pregnant and what would you have done then.

How could you be so foolish? I'm sorry but you need to stay here and until you leave that boy don't bother following us or coming to Florida to visit you understand". I cried for the longest time not knowing why I was feeling so much pain. It feels as if my family had just rejected me from their love. It felt as if my mother hated me and my brother saw me as a joke. My whole life felt torn apart.

Isiah didn't make it any better either with him getting caught up in drugs it was real hard to even love him anymore. It was like most of the time I was taking care of him rather than loving him. My whole life was in shambles. 24/7 I'm stressed about something, 24/7 I'm getting calls to come pick up my boyfriend at some curb or some bitches house. 24/7 I'm in pain, 24/7 I'm lonely, 24/7 I'm in Compton wishing I hadn't give In to temptation and messed up my whole entire life by making a single bad choice.
