in love with a criminal- part 1

Chapter Eleven

Jacksons POV:

-I went home that day after school.-
Mom: You have to steal again. And this time don't get caught. And use your taser ok?
Me: No. Joey has a job now. And I promised I wouldn't steal again. I don't want to be a bad person.
Joey: My job is gonna take a while before I earn a lot.
Me: I'm not doing it again okay?
-I walked into my room and Joey came in.-
Joey: Look, we need more money.
Me: The stealing isn't gonna earn me anymore. I always get caught.
Joey: This time it'll be a store..
Me: They'll catch me on surveillance cameras. Why do you want me to steal again?
Joey: Well.. I don't want you to. But our mom will get really mad if you don't.
Me: I guess I should've just took the money from her.
Joey: What?! Who?
Me: Madison.. she offered me 100 dollars.
Joey: Why didn't you take it?
Me: Because I told her I don't take charity.
Joey: But you could've took it anyways.
Me: But I don't want her to think I'm using her for money, ya know? I love her. She means more to me than anything.
Joey: I understand that.. but I don't know, you could've anyways.
Me: I'm not stealing again, okay? I could've had a job by now if I didn't steal. I can't get a job because I have a criminal record.
Joey: I know.. but we're struggling here. Just think about it.
-I looked at my phone and Madison texted me "Come to my house. My parents aren't home right now. "-
