chapter one


The baby should be ok for about ten minutes while I walk to the store, at least she is not alone my brother is with her. He is only two but he is very smart and lays on the floor next to her. jesus I hope I I dont get caught the store owner is so big, and what if he does not understand that its three of us and we are going to starve to death if we dont get something to eat now.I walk in trying to act normal. It feels like everyone is watching me, even the drunk man thats always asking my mom for change. I ease the half a gallon of milk in my to baggy jacket and a pack of donuts in my pocket for my brother and I to eat, he will be so happy. Ok I am almost to the door,trying not to just take off running because Iam so scared. I put my head down and just walk, then I feel the tug on the back of my coat, I stop and start to cry and then the storm starts.

REALITY


OH MY GOD I cant believe he is taking me home to speak to my mom. How will I explain that there is no mom there. I didnt even know that he knew her, that he did her favors and she did him favors in return. THE BLOCK SEEMED so short because I was trying to think what to do, I couldnt get away he was holding my hand and walking fast like he was really angry. We got to the door. I started to cry because my mom always told me about child protective service and I was never to let anyone in the house when she wasnt there. So he started talking to me trying to calm me down, if my moms kids got taken my mom would beat me to death, so i ran as fast as I could away from the house hoping he would chase me.

my aunts house


I cut into the alley he is behind me yelling for me to stop utr I wont he cant go to my house. I get to my aunts house and I KNOW iAM NOT supposed to be here, my mom will be so mad cause she doesnt like when people know her business but I dont know what else to do. I tell my aunt what happened while crying with tewrs I CANT STOP. there is a loud knock on the door.She answers he walks in, they step off to the side and talk, When they are done talking my aunt gets him to agree to dropping me off at home. I was so happy because they told me he understood and gave me a bag of food to take home. I was returned home and he didnt even walk to the door with me.the baby and my brother were safe and sleep. I was so tired from all the running and crying I ate two donuts and laid on the floor next to my siblings and went to sleep.

the storm


Te loud knocking scared me out of my sleep, I jumped up scared that it would wake the babies. I just listened . because mom said never answer the door when she wasnt there. jesus it sounds like alot of people and someones calling my nick name over and over. Isaid to my self this has to be family or one of my moms friends or they would not know my name. I eased in front of the door on my knees just to listen. I pray it is one of my moms friends that she sent to take care us until my mom comes back. Iam scared and tired of being the grown up, i just want someone to love and take care of me. I miss my mom so much every time she goes away. whoever it is keeps calling my name so i answer. They are my moms friends i am so happy and relieved i swing open the door and there stands more police officers than i have seen in my life. they say my aunt and a store clerk sent them because we needed help. when they wraped us in blankets and carried us out into the terrible snow storm, put us in seperate cars and took us away, i wondered just how much my mom would hate me when she returned to a empty house because i got her babies taken away and people in her business.
