     As I got home, I ran to my mom! "Mom!" I said excited to tell her all about about my day I saw her crying on the floor with a bunch of papers on her desk... "Mom?" I said in a comforting voice "Are you okay? What happened?" "Oh honey" She said, as if though she were hiding something "I can't afford to pay the rent" she said, immediately breaking down. "It's okay mommy, we'll figure out something." I said calmly, but in my head, I was freaking out!!! We could end up homeless!!!!! This was HUGE. Of course, I acted like it wasn't a big deal. but HOMELESS! We've gone low before but THIS?!? "You know what, Mom?" "What my precious little amber?" she said with mascara running down her face. That's why I don't wear makeup, I thought to myself. "Hm. Poverty" I said forgetting everything good that's ever happened to me. And then, I broke down into tears with my mom. we sat there and just cried for about an hour, until I fell asleep. 

     I had a dream that night. I was in my school, and I saw the kid who got lost on the field trip, and then I was chasing a dollar bill. Then the ground opened up, and I fell in a hole. The walls were inclosing on me, but then my dad came down, as an angel, he saved my mom and I, and we went to heaven with him for a day, and when we came back down, everything was normal. nothing scary, no one crying, and I wasn't in school anymore.
