Me and the group were sat in the shop. We hadn't seen Sunburn since the party last night and were all getting worried. I left early but apparently him and Estee got together. Which was really fucking creep to me but whatever.

"Is this it?" A woman said behind the clothes rack.

"Mom!" Sunburn's voice sighed.

"Is this them?!" She came over, dragging Sunburn's arm behind her.

She looked similar to him. And she kind of reminded me of my ma.

"What's your name?" She looked at Fuckshit who was sat on the arm of the couch with my head in his lap.

"Fuckshit..." He said with a smirk, I lifted my head and looked at Sunburn.

"Fuckshit?" She repeated with a disgusted voice, "What's yours? You seem somewhat sensible!" She looked at me.

"What? Me?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Yes you!"

"Mom she's the worst" Sunburn commented quietly with a smirk which earned him a harsh nudge.

"Scar?" I tilted my head.

"Scar?" She repeated.

"What are you a parrot?" I narrowed my eyes, "What's the issue?"

"You don't give my son alcohol! You don't give him drugs! He's thirteen! He's not like you!"

"The fuck's that supposed to mean?" She definitely knew who me and my family was, coloured trash.

"He's not gonna end up as a heroin addicted teenager!" That was also definitely a dig at my brother.

"Ok medinga gringa..." I nodded, leaning back.

"What did you call me?"

"Oh shit she knows spanish?" I looked at the others.

Ruben smirked and laughed a little.

"Do you hear me? He's too young to be hanging out with you lot!"

"What do you think I've told him from day one? Now would you mind getting out the shop because none of us genuinely care...we'll apologies but whatever your son took isn't on us!" I shrugged.

She scoffed and walked out, still dragging the boy behind her. She ignored all his protests which could still be heard as the door closed.

"I would still get with her..." Fuckshit shrugged.

"That's Stevie's mom!" Ray exclaimed.

"You didn't disagree though!" Fuckshit laughed.

"You're disgusting" I chuckled, rolling my eyes and standing up.

Sunburn came back in and silently went to the back. Me and Ray looked at each other before standing up and following him.

He was sat outside against the wall with his skateboard in his lap.

"You alright?" Ray asked sitting one side of him as I sat the other.

"I'm just tired of her shit sometimes..." He sighed, "I wish I was someone else..."

"Sometimes we look at our shit and wish we bad someone else's but you never know what's happening behind closed doors..." Ray said softly.

"Like what?" Sunburn shrugged.

"Fourthgrade is one of the poorest people I know..." Ray started, "I mean he can't afford socks half the time...it's probably why he wants to film movies...and uh...Ruben's mom beats on him and his siblings...that's why he never goes home..."

I could tell Ray was getting sad and that he was going to say something about his brother next.

"And uh...two years ago my little brother died while on his way to soccer practice..."

I felt my heart shatter, I still get upset just thinking about his brother.

"A car came quickly and hit him...soon his clothes blended in with mine in my closet and I couldn't even get up and get changed anymore...and Scar and Fuckshit immediately came to my house and dragged me out to skate..."

I smiled a little, a tear falling from my eye which I quickly wiped away.

"They're my best friends but I think Fuckshit is losing it a little..."

"He is..." I sighed, "Since we're telling stories Imma tell mine cause I never do" I smiled a little and sat a little forward so I was facing the two boys.

The two laughed at me and seemed to really be listening.

"You know I went to my aunt's?" I started, looking at Sunburn.

"Yeah..."

"I wasn't actually at my aunts...I was admitted to a psych ward for a suicide attempt..." I looked down, "You know what a psych ward is?"

"A place for crazy people?"

"Exactly!" I laughed, "About a week before I was admitted I was driving down a road and a cop saw me driving. A white cop seeing an african-mexican kid driving. He pulled out in front of me so quick I thought I was gonna hit it so I swerved and fell off the side...my mom died. Because of me..."

"It wasn't your fault..." Ray sighed, shaking his head.

"Shush." I hushed him which caused him to smile, "So when I was in the hospital I did something which I'm not gonna explain cause your ma already hates me! And a nurse found me and I got sent away."

"That's why you Fuckshit were arguing?" Sunburn said softly.

"Yeah..." I nodded.

He stood up and hugged me. I glanced over at Ray with a sad look but he had a smile. I placed my hands on the boy's back and started to smile.

"You guys trynna go skate?" Ray offered.

"Yeah! You wanna go skate kiddo?"

"Yeah!"
