One night when my mom was driving me home after a night with Ethan. My nom told me that we needed gas. We went to Safeway and when my mom was backing up into a gas station there was a firecracker sound. I thought it was just some kids playing with firecracker but in reality it was the cars shooting at each other.

My mom speeded out the lot and was having a mental breakdown. She was saying how she can't have this life anymore. We need to get out of this neighborhood.

That night I couldn't sleep because that shooting was just as close as I could get to death. All night I was thinking what would have happened if I wasn't there at the time. Like if I wasn't at the gas station andit never happened. I wonder if that would have changed my future.
