PART TWO

JENNIFER

Trigger Ford was the sexiest man in our city and he knew it, too. He pounced around on the streets like he owned them, like a dog on the prowl for anyone who was trying to come into his territory. His tan skin was smooth and silky, his hair and facial hair always perfectly trim, and his deep brown eyes always intense. His style was flawless. Always dressed head to toe in nice clothes, the nicest brands on his body.

He demanded attention every place he went, not by any fault of his own, just by his looks and power alone. I had spent all of high school watching him from afar, watching him lead the boys around him, and watching him dominate half of the girls in our school. Everybody worshiped him, so, of course, he had no idea who I was.

I was never what you would consider popular in high school. Bigger than most of the other girls, it was rare for me to get much if any attention from boys. It had bothered me when I was younger, but in my later years, I was happy to be ignored. Being ignored was better than being made fun of. Being ignored was better than being a hoe. I never wanted to be one of those girls that would use their chest or body to get what they wanted from guys.

The worst I got was a few rude comments about my weight. I had never been loud and outgoing like most of the girls around my neighborhood, too shy to be that aggressive with others. I wasn’t even that outgoing with people I was close to, let alone strangers.

By the last year of high school, I felt invisible. My mom had worked hard to get her lift back on track after her battle with alcohol and drugs. After years of struggles, being broke and high, and putting us in the sketchiest situations she had finally had a breakthrough when her sister had died two years earlier from cancer. My Aunt Tammy had been my mom’s best friend, the one person who would never give up on her.

After Tammy’s death, my mom really straightened up, getting off anything that wasn’t organic, and going back to work at a local nursing home. She worked her ass off trying to give us the best but once you’re in dangerous situations, it’s hard to get out, almost impossible. In the end, we were able to move out of the crack head complex I had grown up in with my little sisters, but only to a slightly better apartment a few blocks over. My mom was still working hard to get us further out of the inner city, though. I had a lot of respect for my mom even though she had put me through a lot of hardships. At least she was around. Unlike my father, who had split as soon as he found out my mom was having a baby. I had no idea who he even was.
