They always say that at the end of the road, there is happiness but at this end, it's broken dreams street people and smashed houses, that are ruled by the mob.
A pathway that is filled with trash then an apartment complex that's so broken it would probably fall with just a feather touching it, at apartment 1159 lives a fluffy black cat with three legs and a young woman who looks to be in her teens in a possible bug infested bed sleeping, when Frankie was woken by her cat flicking his tale on her face "Peggy why do always have to do this" Frankie said with a whisper. Frankie got up from her bed and grabbed everything she needed to start her day which of just a tooth a Combe and broken makeup she found on the street, she went to her bathroom with her cat following along, when in the bathroom she looked at the timer on the sink, you see the water only works at an exact time and turns off and which is good for Frankie since she only dose the bare minimum. Once it hit 4 she went turned on the shower and got to work. It went to 5:3 she hopped out of the shower, dried her moppy hair hers then her makeup. Frankie had gone down the side stairs of her apartment building since it's much faster, she had gotten on the street and made her way to the diner she worked at. The place Frankie worked at and sort of a retro feel to it yet if you look closely at the building it's beginning to wither away since the colour is starting to fade and crack into pieces, also the windows are having the same effect but in a different way. Anyway, Frankie got to the diner just in time to see the sun come up from its sleep as well, once in she grabbed her work outfit which was a 70s dusty brown skirt that went to the knees and an off-white top that had her name on it, Frankie already knew who was coming in first it was glass eye Gary who just come in here to play the music on the juice box. Then it would be some of the gangster (underdogs) who sit at the end booth and have coffee, the mob around here are not too bloody but will be and Frankie has made friends with some like the dog muck and fat Orca. Frankie snapped out of her distraction to see who was coming in but it was only the snobby rich kids with the horrible clothing and voices," hey dumbo where's are food or are you that poor you can't afford it" said their leader who had a face of a sunk and had legs like a flamingo. The leader grabbed my top hard almost making me fall." did you hear what I'm saying!", he was about to punch me but was stopped by some of the underdogs "HEY"! Was said in a thick Italian accent the leader turned to see the gangster holding his arm hard with his fingernails digging into the sunk face boy started to scream a bit but screamed more when the underdog who had hold of his arm started to twist it. The snobby kids started to run out and get to the car they had, and some nearly tripped, once they left one of the gangsters turned to me "Are you okay miss" said a boy who looked around my age
"Y-yes I'm fine darling," Frankie said with a smile coming to her face. Everything quieted down a bit in the late afternoon. At night it's more lively because there's more stuff open yet it can be a bit treacherous because the people in the dark alleyways trying to sell you something or trying to kill you. Frankie was always out at night mostly with her friends who worked on the streets, mostly she went to the drive movie but she sat on the chairs because there much cheaper and she hardly drove, The movie place did old classics and tonight is Rebel without a cause with James dean, last week was my fair lady with Audrey Hepburn, anyway when Frankie went to her chair she saw some small gangs in leather jackets bothering two girls but she didn't want to be in another situation. She sat down at the end row with some probably out-of-date popcorn in a small paper bag, while Frankie ate she didn't know what was creeping up behind her. A hairy and muscular arm rap around her Frankie jumped until she saw who it was, it was Johnny Kit the the youngest teen to join a gang that made money with the mob yet he was one of the nicest out of them. "Hey John what's up"? She turned to see him properly, he'd grown since the last time she saw him he's got a few scars but not huge ones. John went to the set next to me and started to steal some of her popcorn "So how's the gang life treating you" I asked "Good I don't do much fighting-wise since the gang is somewhat protective of me " he laughed a bit, we sat in in silence for a bit after the movie finished and most of the people gone until we heard a loud noise. We looked and saw a biker gang arguing with a couple of people this area is prone to gang beef mostly with who's girl is who or who punched up who. As me and Johnny got closer we saw it was Johns gang with a new gang on the rise called serpent snap, Johnny turned to me "this is going to get messy" he said "why" "well the new gang and I had an altercation with some people" he explained. Our attention was turned back to the guys and we saw switch blades and fists being pulled.
