What About Me

Going to Ohio and After

Well Theresa met this guy named Jeremy and they were figuring out some shit so me and my Joe had to move down to Ohio. My dad didn't have a house so we were leaving with my grandpa, using his car. Till we got kicked out. My dad got a van, all of stuff was in it. We stayed at all kinds of places, churches, parks, his girlfriends houses. The church was the best place. But we were kicked out a couple days later because my dad didn't have money. So our last place was the van. My dad slept in the driver seat, Joe slept in the middle and I was stuck in the trunk sleeping on plastic boxs and tubs. One day my dad let us go play at a park like at 1 or 2 in the morning and my uncle Tim showed up and scared us and was playing with us. I couldn't remember who it was so I ran off and told my dad that some dude was playing with us. Turns out he only lets go to the park is because he was sleeping with someone in van. Walked in on it. He did what he had to do, he went out of the van and his girl took off. All four of just played till we were tired. God I miss those days, just being a kid. But I was forced to grow up fast because if no one was watching me, no one was watching my brother Joe. So I grew up, 5 or 6 years old I became adult. But anyway like I said we would stay at his girlfriends house, I liked one of them because they made these boom ass cookies and always hooked me with them. The cookies with kisses in the middle. I don't know how she made them so good but I haven't eaten a cookie with a kiss in it since cause I only liked hers. She had a young daughter and I stayed in her room till we left them next day. I honestly wish I knew her name cause I would always ask for those cookies. My dad was doing good for a little while but he couldn't take care of us both so he sent me away but before than. Me and Joe went to daycare while he worked. A couple months later the daycare would drive me to school and my dad would pick me up after. After a while I liked the daycare but they couldn't watch me anymore, I was getting to big. So I was sent off to Tiffy's house so a while. I only remember one memory and that was Me, Tiffy and my Uncle Juan was eating cereal while watching tv. It all felt like a dream because I was right back with Theresa. After her drug fun, she wanted to be a parent. Demanded to have us back. So we went with her. She was leaving with her mom while her boyfriend Jeremy was in jail for a dui. But I didn't want to be there either, she kept a picture of him while he was jail like he was mister perfect. She sent me to school, I hated school. But the coolest thing. Me and James were at the same school. So whenever We were done with school, I would ran to his side of the school and yell at our "Jamesy" he hated that name. I miss him so much. He is in the military now. But one day during class..I was stupid and cut my hair and hide it under another students desk..acting like the teacher wouldn't figure out it was mine. She asked me why I did it and I said I don't know. But I miss that teacher so much honestly. She was the only teacher who celebrated my birthday before school ended. She got Oreos and we had a pillowcase that everyone signed, I still have it. James would tease me about this boy named Lennie because he liked me and everyone knew it. My only memory in first grade till I moved...
