Devil Lying Next To You 2
Blue is at the top of his organization and feels like after spending a lifetime building a reputation in the streets, he is ready to retire and spend his life on the straight and narrow. He had already begun planning his exit while passing the keys to the throne to his right hand, and protégé Sony. However, his wife Tina on the other hand has ideas of her own. Though through the years of their relationship he has provided her with the glamorous “hood princess” life, she has never considered it good enough compared to the dreams she envisions for herself.
Her lack of satisfaction pushes her toward plotting to get everything she has ever wanted, and she will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Blue has made it ultimately unscathed in a game most never make it out of, but maybe he was too focused on the world outside the ones he trusts most. He has one foot out of the game, but as he lifts his other foot can he pull it out without temptation grabbing him and pulling him back in? Exactly how far is Tina willing to go to get what she wants, and just how trustworthy is everyone around Blue really?

After taking over the organization, Tina dives headfirst into a world Blue made sure to steer clear of. Her power-hungry antics have her moving recklessly both professionally and socially, not to mention the secret she is concealing.

Sony finds himself in a world of deception, and it seems every way he turns, trouble is right there waiting for him. His regret for betraying his mentor sends him down a path of remorse and shame as he attempts to keep a poker face. Those who know his secret use it against him, while those who want to know his secret jump to their conclusions.
Tay follows his heart and acts on his feelings while ignoring the position he is putting himself in. His motives for justice are at odds with his yearning for love. Soon, he will have to decide between his goals and his passion, though he may be too deep in the game to choose. Araya finds the love she thought was real may have been just a facade, but a new love may be on the horizon. The death of her father seemed to bring all of the snakes out of the grass, and brought on questions she never thought she would have to ask.

Misunderstandings and jumping to conclusions can destroy a relationship faster than ever. Lack of communication and premeditated assumptions can further complicate an already unstable situation as well. Love's worst enemy at times is pride.

What are love's rules when love points the finger at the wrong person? How far should a person be willing to go to correct a problem that shouldn't have been a problem, to begin with? No one wants to be the first to say goodbye to love. Sometimes it's easier to just run away from it, but, how far can a person run when their heart wants to stay? When the mind and the heart argue, whose side does the soul choose?
Just A Little Ghetto Love: Trish's Story
Trisha aka Trish was a typical good girl from an urban neighborhood. She grew up in an area most people would refer to as a "ghetto" but to her, it was home. She was a great student who kept her grades up with no other focus than keeping her eyes on being a success in life. She was the second oldest child, in her single-parent household after her older brother Tracy and followed by her twin younger siblings Tron and Triece. She was raised by her mother Ms. Smith who constantly attempted to fill her head with advice on dealing with her life decisions.
All of Trish's goals and focuses come to a halt when she is approached by a much older man by the name of Ryan aka Rain. Rain was a big-name street figure who came into Trish's life and exposed her to the gilts and glamour fast money could bring. His pretty boy appearance and constant display of affection for Trish had her mind wide open to any and everything he wanted to do with her. He was a grown man molding a girl in transition to being a woman, into a puppet for his own personal use.
Trish was also being adored by her older brother Tracy's best friend Jay. Jay was a young man on his way to graduating high school trying to find his path in life as a man. He was in love with Trish, and was not afraid to let her or her family know how deep his feelings were for her. Trish could see his repetitive attempts to gain her attention but did not have time for a good boy with no money. She was lost in a world where easy money and verbal reminders meant more than respect and self-love. In time chasing a man like Rain would lead her to situations no young girl should have to face on their own.
This is Trisha's story...

Just A Little Ghetto Love: Trish's Story 3
Tracy was the typical young black boy growing up in a ghetto coming to a crossroad in life. The road from being a boy to a man. Being the eldest son to a mother doing all she could to provide for four children could put a strain or false sense of responsibility on a young man. His only father figure at the time was an abusive immature example of everything Tracy hoped to never become. The only decent man he had known with his mother was his late step father, the father of his younger sister Trish.
His world was on the verge of change and was becoming more than his mother could handle alone. Without seemingly any other options, she finally decided to reach out to his biological father Big Tracy in hopes that he would step in and help provide his son with the proper tools to be a man. Not knowing that the world Big Tracy dwelled in was way more detrimental than Tracy had ever been a part of before. A world consisting of drugs and violence, far more than what could be seen in hood movies or tv shows. The outcome of the experiences Tracy must face could either make or break him in the end.
Here is Tracy's story...
