The only word that I ever wanted to be.
I wanted to have the perfect life, with the perfect parents, the perfect school experience with the perfect boyfriend and bestfriends.
But, it seemed the only thing in my life that had the word perfect in it, was my daydreams and those were long faded away due to my IMPERFECT life.
Now here I am sitting on this plane about to go meet the part of my life I never had.
"Please fasten your seatbelts and turn off all...," I shut-out the flight attendant as I think of what my life would've been like, should've been like. But first I have to explain how it was

"Where the fuck is my money," he yelled through gritted teeth looking at the duffle bag that was barely full.
"I-I-I don't know it came up miss-," I flinch as the butt of the gun hit the boy causing him to fall.
Adonis grabbed him quickly.
"Yo ass better find it,"
"Y-yess sir," the boy nodded his head.
"You see her, her well being depends on how much money I get and if I ain't got her no one else does," He said dropping the boy on the ground. The boy nodded to himself as he ran off.
I watched as Adonis came to me, picking up my frail body as he sat me on his lap.
"You know I meant what I said," he said moving my blonde hair out of my face.
"Yeah," I whispered quietly.
"I got you G, I got you," he said kissing my lips.

"Riiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnngggg,"
The bell rang signaling the end of Homeroom. I wiped my eyes as I remembered the days when I had him. The only person who had me, and still does even in his casket. Ironically, he died Valentine's Day. Adonis, the only one I ever loved. He took me in when I was most vulnerabe and changed my life. But, now he's gone, so, I have to try and forget.
I gathered my things as I headed to my locker meeting up with my best friend Cairo.
"Hey G," she said.
"Hi Cai," I said shutting my locker.
I noticed Cairo smiling extra hard and I knew it had to be important.
"What're you smiling so hard about," I smiled.
"I can't smile," she said with an attitude, making my smile drop.
"I-I didn't say that,"
"Just cause you ugly and not smiling doesn't mean I can't bitch," I swallowed my anger as I walked behind her. Her attitude is not a big deal, I hear the same shit everyday and I have to deal with it. If I do say something back it just adds extra onto my plate.
Since she's so close to my "sisters" she'll tell them and then I'll be jumped. That's why I call them "sisters." They don't give af about me, nor do they treat me right, nor do they ever leave me alone. They steal my money that I get from doing nasty shit for my "mother", They beat me, when there's no "customers" and they just fuck shit up. That's why when I met Adonis I was happy, but he's gone so it's not even a fucking factor anymore.
