My bad for leaving it hangin so long, but eventually I'ma finish adding this. lol
~They blind folded the girls and then took them to the destination. They got them out of the car and stood them on the side walk.~
Teena: Will you hurry up?
Traci: Ya know ri. It's cold out here.
Zane: Okay. Y'all ready?
Girls: Yes!
~They removed their blind folds and the girls were standing in front of a building.~
Dawn: SNZ (pronounced sins) Records?
Cornell: Yeah. Silkk, Nelly, and Zane.
Teena: So this belongs to y'all?
Guys: Yeah.
Traci: Well I don't know about y'all, but I'm freezing out here.
All: Aight.
~They went inside and the guys gave them a tour. Then they led them into a room where a nice dinner was set up.~
Dawn: Y'all did all of this for us?
Zane: Of course we did this for y'all.
VoShonne: We did every thing for y'all.
Cornell: Even the record company.
Teena: Why?
VoShonne: Cuz y'all our gurls and we love y'all.
Cornell: We wanted to show y'all how much you mean to us.
Zane: And how much we want you back.
Traci: Y'all went through a lot of trouble for us.
Teena: And we appreciate it, but…
Dawn: How do we know y'all have really changed?
VoShonne: You just gotta trust us.
~Everyone just stood there for a minute looking at each other, but not saying a word.~
Traci: Z I think we should talk alone.
Zane: Aight. Lets go.
Dawn: Yeah us too Cornell. Come on.
Cornell: I'm behind you.
~They left and it was just Teena and VoShonne left.~
VoShonne: You wanna go so we can talk too?
Teena: Naw, we can talk later. Right now I wanna eat.
VoShonne: Whateva you want.
~They sat down and started to eat. Zane and Traci were in the car on the way to the house.~
Zane: So what you think of the company?
Traci: It's nice. Are y'all really serious about it?
Zane: Of course. We wouldn't have spent damn near $100, 000 on it if we were playing.
Traci: Damn! That's a lot of money.
Zane: We know, but we did it for y'all so it was worth it.
~Traci sat there silent for awhile.~
Zane: Why you so quiet?
Traci: Just thinking.
Zane: What you think about?
Traci: ~turning to face him~ Z you know I wanna take you back. These past 2 months have been like hell with out you. I missed you like crazy and I don't wanna experience that again. But words don't mean shit to me. You've said the same things before. What's different now?
Zane: It's different because I know what I can lose. Trac, I love you. You and the kids are the most important things in my life. I'm through with the drugs and the streets. You've got to believe me. I don't know any other way to show you I'm for real. If you love me you'll trust me. Do you trust me?
Traci: Yes.
~They pulled up to the house and Zane stopped the car and looked at her.~
Zane: So what are we doing? Where do we go from here?
Traci: I'm coming back home.
Zane: You are?
Traci: Yeah.
~Zane smiled and then kissed her. They started to make out, but then stopped. They got out the car and went to their bedroom where they "become one". Dawn and Cornell were sitting in the car in the parking lot.~
Cornell: I don't see what the problem is. You know I love you and I know you love me. You said all I had to do was get out and I did.
Dawn: But how do I know that for sure? How do I know that 6 months from now you won't be right back in the streets or shot again?
Cornell: When I got shot my life flashed before my eyes. That kind of shit can scare some sense into a nigga. I don't wanna go out like that. I have changed and for the better and I promise you that's the way it's gonna stay.
Dawn: Promises you've all made before that you didn't keep. Promises can be broken so don't come at me with that.
Cornell: Boo look at me. You're talking to me now. Not Nelly, but Cornell and you gotta know I'm for real
Dawn: How am I suppose to know that? The record company was a nice start, but you still rocking yo color.
Cornell: What you want me to do with it? ~pulling his 'dana from his back pocket~ Whateva it is I'll do it.
Dawn: Burn it.
Cornell: What?!
Dawn: You heard me. Burn it. Right here, right now.
Cornell: Aight.
~Cornell pulled out his lighter and held it to his rag. The end lit and it slowly started to burn. He threw it out the window and they watched it burn to a crisp in silence.~
Cornell: You satisfied yet?
Dawn: You're really serious about this aren't you?
Cornell: Yes gurl. I love you and Jajuan and I want y'all back in my life.
Dawn: ~sighs~ Okay Cornell. We'll make it work.
Cornell: You're taking me back?
Dawn: Yes.
~Cornell leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled at him, he took her hand, and they went to pick up JJ. Teena and VoShonne had just got done eating and were just sitting there looking at each other.~
Teena: So?
VoShonne: So?
Teena: Come on VoShonne. I know you've got something to say so just say it.
VoShonne: You're right, I do and you know I've never been good with words. It's like this, I love you and I know I don't say or show you that enough, but I do. I know I was fucking up by being in that gang, but I couldn't see it until I had to.
Teena: Why did you have to?
VoShonne: Because I realized I couldn't live my life with out you or Dyamond.
Teena: So what have you done about it? This company doesn't mean a damn thing. It just means you have a real job during the day. But how do I know during the night you won't be running with your crew?
VoShonne: Because I said so and I wouldn't lie to you.
Teena: Why not? You've done it before.
VoShonne: Teena you know…
Teena: I know what? I know you've lied to me, you've fought with me, and I know you've never sided with me on this issue. Other than that I don't know shit VoShonne. You wanna prove me wrong, show me.
VoShonne: You wanna see proof? Fine. Take a close look.
~VoShonne rolled up his pant legs and took off his shirt and beater. Teena could see there were plenty of scars that looked liked they had been bad cuts and bruises.~
Teena: OMG! What happened?
VoShonne: I am no longer a east side ryda. I got jumped out… for you.
Teena: VoShonne.. I… look I'm sorry. But.. but I'm glad you did. I'd rather you have a few scars than a bullet hole through your chest.
VoShonne: So all of this meant nothing to you?
Teena: No, I didn't say that. You know nothing in this world would make me happier than to take you back right now, but…
VoShonne: But what? What is it baby?
Teena: But before I do I want you to prove to me you are changed. I want us to be a family, a real one, for the first time. No pager, no friends, just you, me, and Dyamond spending time together. ~letting her head drop and near tears~
VoShonne: ~lifting her face up to look at him~ What's wrong?
Teena: Nothing. It's just mood swings.
VoShonne: What?
Teena: VoShonne, I'm ~pause~ 3 months pregnant.
VoShonne: What? OMG! ~picking her up and hugging her~ Why you ain't tell me?
Teena: I just did. Now come on.
VoShonne: Aight boo. Lets go home.
~The girls moved back in and the boys stayed true to their word and stayed out the streets. For about three months all was going good, but three months later…~
