Januari McCall was a run away. After the gruesome loss of her
oldest brother, who was also her best friend, to a drug deal gone
wrong, Januari found herself in a funk. As a result of his death,
one of her younger brothers unsuccessfully tried to commit suicide.
It all became too much for her to bear and with parents that were
concerned more with being able to get their drink on and gamble
instead of providing for their remaining four children, she'd had
enough. One morning she'd get up and leave for school with no
intentions of returning, finding herself submerged in the streets
of Detroit, Michigan with nowhere to live. Shareece was also a
run-way. Not because of anything negative, but because of greed.
She had the perfect loving family. They provided her with
everything and she didn't have to want for nothing. But for
Shareece, everything was nothing if it didn't have a famous name
and a hefty price tag associated with it. The Pettigrews was a very
unique couple. He was eighteen years her senior, a
multi-millionaire with strict pet-peeves and owned a Mom and Pop
corner store as a hobby. She was a no nonsense woman that respected
her husband with a tight-lipped secret that was haunting her every
day of her life. All of their paths would cross in the strangest of
ways. But the Pettigrews would open their house and their store to
these teenage run-aways under two conditions: 1. They must work in
the store and 2. They couldn't let anyone know that they were
living in the back room of the store. This oddly self-made family
was beginning to blossom. The Pettigrews developed a love for the
girls and high hopes came with that love. One would make them proud
while the other would cause them pain. Unapologetic. Sometimes
apologizing can be a little too much.
