Tell Me All The Ways To Love A Thug

A Girl From Compton

My name is Destiny, and I am from Compton, California. From the outside, my life might seem like a mess—living in Compton, surrounded by daily danger and chaos. But I’ve learned to make it work. I’ve got my man, Gutta, who's been by my side since high school. He’s deep in the streets, and as much as I love him, I can’t help but wonder if he’ll ever be able to leave that life behind, which scares me more than I want to admit.

Then there’s Reign—my cousin, my best friend, my ride-or-die. We’ve been through everything together, from petty theft to running from the cops and dealing with crazy men who come and go in our lives. She’s wild, unapologetic, and keeps me on my toes. But no matter how crazy things get, Reign always has my back.

As if that wasn’t complicated enough, there’s Serious. The first time I saw him look at River, I felt the tension. He’s from the other side—Piru, and we don’t mix with their kind. But damn, he’s got that charm I know my girl River likes. I try to stay away from him, especially after seeing how River’s getting caught up in his world. He’s dangerous, and I can’t help but feel like she deserves more than this life. But the pull between them is undeniable, and I can’t protect her from it.

Gutta says he’s trying to do better. He’s got his own place now, and he keeps saying he’ll leave the streets behind. But I don’t know if I can trust that. Every time he disappears for a run, I wonder if he’ll come back. Part of me wants to let go, to walk away from the life we’ve built, but I’m scared. Scared of losing him. Scared of losing everything.

I’m tired of being stuck. Tired of the fear, the uncertainty, and the constant waiting for the next bad thing to happen. I want more than this, but I feel too deep into it all to escape. It’s not just about me anymore—it's about Gutta, River, Reign, and even Serious. Our lives are tangled in ways I don’t know how to untangle. I don’t know how this is all going to end, but I know one thing for sure: I’m stuck in the middle, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get out.
