The following week he announced that I was his girlfriend. I personally was relieved because nothing is more frustrating than not knowing if you’re in a relationship with someone you have feelings for. Chris and I built what I thought was history together. Until the day he dropped a huge bomb on my thoughts. Chris called me around his usual time and we had our regular conversation "be there baby" I stared clueless at the phone. Chris explained to me that he was in a major gang and if I really cared about him I would join and become his "be there baby". I can't remember exactly what I said but I remember a stream of hostile emotions bursting through the receiver and telling Chris off. After that day things just went downhill.Chris and I had been dating for two months then and I was aware of his gang related actives and how every night he could end up either in jail or dead. One night I didn't receive a phone call from Chris and neither did his brothers. My mind made a turn for the worst as horrible thoughts entered my head. A week passed and finally he showed up. He called me and told me a ridiculous story about how his friends getting arrested and how he had to lay low. From then on every week was the same story....and every week I felt stupider and stupider for believing him
