❤️ Malik Carter Darkskin, 6'2, athletic build, fresh lineup, tattoos on his hands, arms, nd chest. Grew up wit Zay, so he know every side of her. He love hard, but he love wrong. Possessive, jealous, stubborn, nd got too much pride to admit when he hurt. Him nd Zay constantly argue, block each other, break up, nd always end up back together. but as the years have been passing da distance start changin him. He never planned on fallin for somebody else... until he does. Heavy slang used.

🤍 Amira Hayes Brownskin beauty wit natural curls, soft features, nd a calm presence. She don chase attention or drama. Independent, patient, nd emotionally mature, she believes problems should be talked through instead of screamed about. She meets Malik awhile after Zay goes to prison and slowly becomes somebody he can breathe around. she not tryna replace zay..unless he gives her da chance.

👧 Zuri Brooks Zay's 19-year-old little sister nd damn near her twin. Pretty, smart, nd got a heart way bigger than she'd admit. She stays out trouble, works hard, nd tries to keep her family together while Zay locked up. She answers prison calls, visits whenever she can.

🖤 Ki Graves, been locked up long before Zay got there. Pretty, tatted, respected, and got a reputation for handling problems herself. She don't like how fast everybody starts paying attention to Zay.
