Ghetto

Chapter 24

"Hello?" His accent ranged through the phone. I couldn't help but smile at how I pictured him looking. Wearing that confused face.

"It's Blue." I said.

"Baby wassup? What they get you for?" He asked.

"That dumb hoe Tamara pressed charges on me. Can y'all keep an eye on Lia and Noel and make sure they don't do nothing crazy so they won't be here with me?" I asked.

"Sure so when you getting out?" He asked. I looked around at the jail cells and cold walls.

"I don't know. Just stay up." I told him.

"I love you B!" He said.

"I love you too August." I hung up and looked around.

"Officer Johnson!" I yelled. I heard footsteps coming down the hall. I could see a muscular shadow approaching. I clutched the clothes closely to my chest. This place ain't for me.

"What you want gal?" This racist red neck man asked. I looked around him for officer Johnson.

"Where is officer Johnson?" I asked.

"He busy right now." His southern accent rang out. He spit cold right on the floor as if it was nothing!

"Officer Johnson!" I yelled again.

"I advise you to lower your voice gal!" The old racist grabbed my arm.

"Let her go Paul. I got her." I saw officer Johnson walking down the hall to me.

Thank god

"Don't be grabbing me!" I snatched away and his face turned red.

"I will see you again gal." He walked away.

Officer Johnson approached me and I mugged the hell out of him.

"Where were you?! I thought I was about to get lynched!" I snapped but he laughed. Ain't shit funny!

"You're safe now." He smirked. He put the cuffs on me and lead me to my cell. I sat on the cold bed as he closed the cell and locked it. I watched as he put the keys in his pocket and stared at me.

"What?" I said in almost a whisper. He shook his head as in nothing.

"You just too pretty to be behind bars." He told me once again. This time I looked down to keep from blushing.

"Pretty girls do ugly things too." I lied back on the bed.

"I see." He walked away whistling a tune that I never heard before. This is going to be a long night! I quickly got out of my clothes and put on the jumpsuit and shoes they supplied me with.

I woke up to a light in my eye. Officer Johnson stood over me flashing a flashlight in my face like I'm a animal or some shit.

"Someone is here to see you." He said.

Ace

I got up and let him cuff me up. He grabbed my right arm and drug me to the visiting room. I saw a room full of convicts talking with outside people.

"Over there." Officer Johnson pointed to a table where Ace sat. He lead me to the table and took the cuffs off me. Ace simply shook his head. I sat down and officer Johnson gave us our privacy.

"Hey." I simply said.

"You need to do better." He said.

"Fuck allat! You ain't no better than me! Matter of fact you worse!" I snapped. He stood up about to leave but I grabbed his arm causing him to freeze.

"Look I'm sorry." I said. He sat back down.

"Look I got some news you might want to hear." He whispered to me while looking to see if anyone was watching or listening to us.

"Lay it on me." I leaned in.

"It's a hit out on your friend's head." He whispered. I instantly thought about that dream.

"Ty and Lia?" I asked.

"Hell yea. Word on the street is Mike and his boys coming for them. But you ain't hear this from me." Ace said.

"Ty can hold up for him and Lia." I shrugged.

Should I be worried

Hell naw I got to worry about how I'm gone get out of here.

"No bond set?" Ace asked.

"Hell naw. You know Miami, PD do shit at the last minute. And plus I think they want me in here!" I admitted.

"What?" He asked confused.

"See that white mane over there?" I slightly nodded my head over to him. Ace turned his ass completely around in his seat to stare at this mane.

Okay let's stop right there. Don't you hate when you try to sneak and talk about somebody to somebody else and they give it away by staring at the person or saying their name loud?

"Shit." I put my hand to my head. Ace gone get me in trouble.

"Yea what about him?" He turned back around to me.

"He hates me. I think he like me a lil bit too." I laughed to myself at the last part. He want a piece of me.

"Like you? That nigga is like 55!" Ace practically yelled causing attention towards our table.

"Can you stop talking so loud?!" I snapped.

"My bad."

August POV

I licked my lips as I stared at the pictures of Blue on my phone. Shorty bad as fuck! Too bad she in jail right now. Her pretty ass don't belong there.

"What you looking at?" Ty looked over my shoulder. I had to lock my phone so he wouldn't see that picture of Blue in her blue lingerie.

"Nigga move!" I snapped. He laughed and sat next to me.

"That ass was fat." He smirked. This nigga done saw my girl now I'm gone have to kill him.

"Let me stare at Lia's ass!" I snapped.

"Me and Lia don't sext so I have no picture." He laughed.

"Fuck you. My girl in jail and you can't be serious for once." I snapped.

"How serious you want us to get A? I mean Blue is a big girl and she can fend for herself in jail." Colton walked out of my kitchen holding a beer.

"Jail?!" My mom walked in while holding her chest.

"Ma calm down." I held her up.

"No I got to go get my baby!" She quickly dashed out the house. Her baby?!

Give me some ideas on who these characters could be
