Sanders, you've been bailed out. Let's go.

I get up and wait for the officer to open the gate. He looks at me with an evil look. He grabs me by the arm. I jerk away a little. He grab on a tighter. I see my parents. And they come running to me. Especially my mom.

"Ty, this is your last time. We can't keep bailing you out" momma say sounding mad. Though I know she was happy.

"This time momma, Imma change I promise" I say as I look at dad

"You've said this every time. I've seen no change in you Tyrone. No change at all" pops says taking a sip if his hard rum.

"Ok pops. I'm sorry I'm foreal this time. I'm changing."

"Ok we'll see." Pops say. He walks away and goes outside to smoke.

I follow pops as momma stay and fill some paperwork out. As I follow pops outside he suddenly turn around.

"What's wrong with your man"

"What you mean" I asked

"Why can't you start out of jail. Do you want this to be your life?"

"Nah pops"

"Then don't go back. Don't be like me son. This is no life to live. Police always on your tail"

Then I just looked down

"Ya momma doing everything to help you because she loves you"

"I know pops. Your right man. I wanna family and a home of my own. I wanna be something in life"

"Then do it. Its not impossible, just hang around different people"

"That's hard"

"Not impossible" he added in.

Mom comes out the door and unlocks the car. She hops in and pops get in. I, for some reason, looks at the sky. Probably taking with God. Mom blows and I come back to earth. I get in the car and I began to think. About my past. And my future and right now. I need to change!
