After my dad hit my mom and I, we called the cops and he was taken to jail. A couple weeks after my dad was taken to jail, me and mom packed our stuff and moved to a new house. I had to move schools but my mom was worried my dad would come looking for us. She thought that if he was capable of slapping me and punching her, he could do more than that; or even worse. We moved to a house 30 minutes away from where I used to live. 2 weeks after we moved, I started 8th grade at Roosevelt middle school. I moved far away from my friends and even Jacob. We worked things out and we were going to have a "long distance relationship." I became depressed after we moved. At school I had nobody;Not a single friend. And at home things were not looking very hot also. My mom would always wear her beautiful makeup with a dress. She would always look beautiful and happy but now she didn't. She would look very sad and she would look like she had been crying every night. My sister Veronica was already graduated from high school so she stayed home and took care of my mom until a job was available for either of them. Finally in December 27 a job was available for my sister. She got a job as a cashier at target. She didn't get payed much but anything was better than nothing especially for us. We didn't have much money. Life wasn't looking very good for us.
