Family Over Everything by Paige Green

Corrine, Mercedes, and Tessa arrived at Sugar’s. The three distraught, lost teenagers were dressed in filthy clothes and their hair was dirty and knotted. They stood on the front porch, nervous, contemplating their next moves.
“Are y’all sure y’all want to do this?” Tessa asked.
“What other choice do we have? It’s not like we have anywhere else to go,” Mercedes replied.
“Yeah, y’all are the only family I have. Like you said before, Mercedes, we’re all we have and we have to stick together,” Corrine said, looking at the ground.
“Who are y’all?” Sugar asked, opening her front door.
Sugar, who was a notorious pimp in Northview, stood five feet even and was a bonafide hood chick. She rocked a twenty-inch Asian weave that touched the top of her plump apple bottom. She had smooth, dark skin and, although approaching forty, looked as if she was thirty. When she had heard faint voices on her front porch, she’d opened the door and found three young girls with duffle bags around their shoulders standing there.
“Hey, Ms. Sugar, my name is Tessa and I’m a friend of Sweety,” Tessa said, referring to a former prostitute.
“Sweety? Oh, that girl made me a lot of money. I miss her; how is she doing?” Sugar asked, taking a long pull from her cigarette.
“She’s good, but she told me if I ever needed a job, I could come to you?”
“How old are y’all? Y’all look awfully young.”
“Fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen.”
“They get younger and younger each year,” Sugar whispered, shaking her head.
She had helped many young, lost females in her day. She had brought them in with open arms, teaching them how to survive in the streets while they sold their bodies to strangers.
“Okay, come in,” she instructed, flicking the cigarette.
Walking into her apartment, all three girls were appalled at the sight before them.
Corrine twisted her nose up in disgust as she watched naked and half-naked women and transvestites strut around the house. Taking a seat on the sofa, all three girls tried to focus on Sugar as she began to talk.
“So, what’s y’all stories?”
“What do you mean?” Mercedes asked, confused.
“Everybody that comes up in here has a sad story. Some women have kids, others are homeless, and others were runaways. Now, what’s y’all stories?”
“We’re homeless,” Mercedes said nonchalantly.
They didn’t know Sugar and they didn’t want her all up in their business. They were there for only one thing and that was to make money.
“Okay, I see. But this is how it goes, I put y’all on the corners, and y’all fuck and suck as many men as you possibly can in that one night. Whatever you bring home that night, I get half of it,” Sugar stated bluntly.
The girls swallowed the huge lumps in their throats as they nodded.
“Now, are y’all sure y’all are ready for this? Because I’m telling y’all now, I don’t play about my money and if any of you fuck with it, that’s y’all throats. This is a very dangerous game y’all are getting into, so come with caution and make sure y’all have my money.
