Chai...chai come on we have to hide now, they're coming. My brother come and picks me up and takes me to the little room hidden at the back of my closet. POW...POW I hear gunshots from out the door but I'm not actually scared. I'm used to this life. Your probably wondering how I am totally fine with hearing gunshots, screams, and hiding all the time. Well just to let you know I'm a streetkid.Yep, you guessed it my dad is a king pin. Not any regular type of drug dealer. He handles his stuff with class. I'm just fooling with you, but he does get down to business even if it means death. Not alone in this life. Let me just start from the beginning.

My name is Kennedy Brown but most people call me Chai. Don't ask why. I'm what you would call a street kid. No, I don't strip nor am I a prostitute, but I do live on the streets. My dad is a gang member and when him and my mom got seriously involved he brought her into this type of life. They are an example of what most would call runaway loves. She had to run away from home because once your in you get involved with this gang shit there is no way out besides death. Her parents started to get suspisous at the fact that she was hanging out with a quote on quote thug. They started seeing her less and less until she just up and dissapeared. Later in their story I came along, but the thing is I didn't grow up alone though I have an older brother named Jordan. Before my mom came along he was involved with another woman. She went missing in action on my dad when she got pregnant. ydad hadn't heard fr her since then and one day about wo years later she dropped a little boy off with a note stating that she couldn't do it anymore and she was done with life and explaing how she ran away because she didn't think my dad would except the child. From there my dad took his under wing, no need in leaving a child mother and father less Besides Jordan and I there a lot of other streetkids. My life isn't the greatest but I can deal with ily because it is all I know. Fighting, gangs,shootings and hiding are mostly all I know. I have never been hurt my bestfriend Jalen is always by my side I love him to death. He is like another brother besides Jordan. then there is my girl bestfriend Sasha. she is by my side 25/8. you will never see us without each other unless we are having our little fights.somethings not right. I can feel it.

"Chai...Chai come on we have to hide." I didn't know who was speaking because I had been laying down with my headphones on.

I don't comprehend what is going on mostly because my brother is never this worried I mean honestly he never worries. He takes me to the room behing my closet that is loaded with guns and any supplies we need to stay alive then he goes out and starts to he defend what is ours.

"Jordan whats going on?" I ask while we are racing to getthe door locked andevrything else set up. 

He takes a deep breath before starting to explain. "Ok so a little while back mom and dad had some business with another dealer and now he is saying he didn't get all of his money so he is after us. Dad told me it must be a set up because he never stops a trade without finishing it, but for right now there is a hit out on our heads so we have to lay low. "

"That isn't even-" I was cut off by the sound of two rounds being blasted and I could tell that they were close.

"Chai I need you too lay down on your stomach and don't say a word" He say while handing me a .9mm gun off the while and grabbing himself two semi autoatic Desert Eagles

I nod and lay down like I actually had a choice.

Jordan whispered a quick I love you befor leaving out of the room

"God please don't let anything happen to my brother, in Jesus name we pray amen" I silently prayed so I wouldn't be heard."

I heard more and more gunshots beng shot. The screams were coing fro everywhere and I just sat there with no emotion at all on my face truthfuly because I know the motto You may love the streets, but the Street wil never love you it is simple as can be and that is basically how I have to have my mindset on everything. This isn't new to me. I mean it has never been growing up in this type of situation. I heard the last bullet sound and a couple of minutes later Jordan came back in the room with blood splattered all on his shirt.

"Are you ok." I ask while standing up fro that uncomfortable postion. 

"Yeah just come on." He said while walking out of the room with the expectation I was following hi whch is what I did. 

When we exit out of my roo all I see is bodies everywhere. To be honest it wasn't that big of a deal I've seen penty more. I spotted to of my dads workers Jalen and Nathan, a couple of boys I grew up around standing at the front door wiping their guns off with rags. 

"Chai, are you ok?" Jalen asked rushing to my side. I would give him a hug, but there was bood on his shirt and that is one thing I can't stand, blood on my clothes.  

"Thanks for caring man, you know we all in this together." My brother says aughing and quoting High School Musical.

"Jalen can I sleep over. I don't want to wait around until when the crew comes to clean up with the smell of dead bodies ingerng in the air."

"Yeah, I ean you know your welcome anytime,but just to let you know Nathan is going to be there." 

"Whatever he don't matter,but okay let me go pack my stuff. 

I hurry to my roo and grab my nike sports bag and throw my peronal's pajamas and clothes for toorrow in theba. I slipon my nike slide and I' ready to go.
