"WAKE THE FUCK UP." demanded Santiago smacking the bag of my head causing the blunt that I fell asleep with to fall out of my hand onto the carpeted floor as I open my eyes to see where as I was, I had a long night of partying, selling and doing drugs which I personally always enjoyed doing but the headaches I got the following mornings weren't work it sometimes.

I felt around on the couch that was my bed for the night for my phone to see if I had any missed calls which I did but the most important thing that caught my eye were the most recent ones.

'7 missed calls from Cookie'

"Fuck Cookie." I exclaimed out loud knowing that there could only be one reason she would be calling me at 7 am. I huffed knowing that she is coming over to drag me to tgat god awful school that I had planned to skip today.

"Fuck Cookie what?" She questioned walking into the house like she owned it locking the door behind her, I sighed knowing that she was about to start rambling about how I need to wake up on time or whatever else I do wrong. If iI was still the same man that I was before I would've been killed her but there was something about this girl that I couldn't shake and it was not because she was the daughter of Rell.

"Do you know how much I called you dimwitt, I told you be ready by 7 am and guess what time it is now huh?," she complained to me but I wasn't ready paying her attention, I sat up on the couch stretching my body running light scratches over my tatted broad chest and abs.

"Hush Cookie." I said tiredly getting up to go to the kitchen. Maybe If I wasn't so damn tired I'd have the engine to deal with her bullshit but last night was a rough night and the rougher my nights the rougher my headaches. When I entered the kitchen Cookie followed sitting on counter waiting for me to finish looking for what I was looking for.

"Where were you last night?" Cookie asked me with a low tone as i'm grabbing the milk and pouring it into a cup. I looked at Cookie with a distraught expression, I may be a serial killer and a drug dealer but I damn sure ain't a liar and one of the last people I could ever lie to was Cookie so to spare her feelings I just took a sip of my milk.

"Come here Ricky." she said, leaving the half drunken milk on the counter I shuffled closer to her and pushing my hair back standing between her legs looking into those beautiful chocolate eyes of hers, she wrapped her arms around my neck and stared in my eyes which was one of my weakness.

While she took the time to admire me I admired her, she had long locs that she had been growing since we were kids but the were down to the middle part of her back now, she had plump lips and kinda wide but button nose that complimented her chocolate skin. If I wasn't a piece of shit I would have been locked her with me but with my history of participating in my flings prohibited me not just on my part but on her father's.

"Rick, when are you going to start doing right by me? You already know how I feel about you and I already know how you feel about me so why do you keep doing this?" She asked my while tracing her soft hands over the fresh hickey on my neck with a somber look in her eyes causing my cold heart to grow a little sad.

I hated when she did this, I hated when the innacted yhese feelings in me. In my past life and now feelings are what get people killed and hurt in my industry and I did not want her to be a victim of it.

"Demonio." She stated as she traced over the tattoo that was above my eyebrow.

"You aren't a demonio Ricky, You are so much more than that I see it everytime you look at me." She stated before I swatted her hands off me and made my way upstairs to go shower before I had to get dressed for school.

Sitting in the frontseat of the black tinted SUV. I rolled up a blunt and lit it then put it on the dashboard that was virbrating from the blasting trap music booming in the car, In any other case I would have smoked the blunt but,

I turned back to look at the sweet girl sitting in the backseat that I wouldn't dare taint, If Santiago didn't teach me about letting pure things stay pure she would've long been tainted by the drug and the gang habits around me.

Santiago pulled up to the school, he parked in front and unlocked Cookie's door which was a prompt for me to stay in the car because he wanted to talk to me about something, I looked back at Cookie who still had the somber look on her face from our earlier one sided conversation.

"He'll be right behind you Cook,"Santiago said prompting the girl to get out of the vehicle and make her way inside the school with a worse reputation than the alternative schools in the area. Cookie got out the car and closed the door with a slam making her way in the school her sorrow no doubt turning to rage at the moment .

"It's getting heated, The 197's aren't letting up they attacked one of my warehouses last night. I want you to be prepared and protected at all time I'm getting a feeling about the next few days." Santiago said showing a little concern about the boy that he raised since he was two.

Santiago handed me his signature gun, it was white and good with the symbol of our gang on it. An eagle, an eagle that always had the advantage against its prey. Santiago looked at me with affection in his eyes which he showed by rustling my messy hair.

I holstered the gun between my belt and my low hanging jeans, then tried to make my way out of the car which he unlocked for me. While I was making my way towards the school Santiago called out my name one more time.

"And Rick?" He called out

"Yes." I responded with curiosity turning back to see what he wanted, he usually didn't call me Rick he would always call him demonio or loco but never Rick.

"Fix shit with Cookie." he said speeding off going off in the distance. Cookie was a weakness one that I couldn't allow, but I had to make it up to her. Maybe it wasnt a bad idea to be with her I could protect her and I could give her the life she deserves.

"Nah." I said walking into the school with only one thing in my head, to sleep through all of my blocks.
