Bonnie & Clyde

Chapter 1

It was 102 degrees  as I sat on the corner and watched her come out of the house. The big house on the corner that I always wanted,but could never have because my dad left when I was two and my mom became a crack addict shortly after. Sad story right? But fuck it, shit happens. S he climbs into her Mercedes C-class, and pulls outta the drive way. I stub out my Newport, "Finally" I thought "I'm about to get this bitch." As she pulls down ceanica blvd, I crossed the street. I amediantly head for the backyard because I've been watching her and I know what she does and does not do. What she does do is leave the house at the same time. What she doesn't do it lock the back door, which  is were I'm heading now. I walk on the house like I own it. Shit,I technically do it was my mom's addiction that allows her to live in this house. Yet at what cost to me my mom and what could have been my life. Ripping her off was like taking a piece of me back that she never knew she took...just like she wouldn't know who took her possessions. I walk through the house surveying the souround  sound with the curved flat screen. A PlayStation 4 with all the fly games neatly arranged by name. "Really,who has time for that shit " I walk up the curved iron stairs "this bitch ballin like she got a sports contract "I think out loud but I know what I came for and will leave with nothing less than that. I make it to a door hoping that what's behind it is her room..their room I know whom she lays with at night too. I open the door soundlessly as if someone will hear me yeah right. Bingo it's the bedroom alright.  A king size bed makes the room look too ornate. It's covered with thick comforter set that looks out of my price range. Heavy curtains cover the cathedral Windows and yes everything matches. "Rich bitch." I say as I began to look through her belongings. I know it's here it has to be...she said it would be. I come across a jewelry box and open the lid engraved with Darelene. I see rings with so many different colored diamonds I remind myself to talk to my teachers about why we never knew diamonds could be more than white. I pocket the biggest pinky ring I can find,at least that's what it'll be on me. Yet still I haven't found what I came for. I think if I were a mink coat with 50g's sewn into the lining where would I be..in the closet right. It was the only thing that made sense I mean that's where all my coats went. I rush to what I think is the closet. "Shit. Fucking  bathroom " I sigh heavely and try the next door. Eureka it's the closet but no coats not even a wind breaker for when the Chicago wind hits. I shake my head in disbelief this is bullshit what kind of. I'm stopped in mid thought by the sound of the front door opening. This bitch CANNOT be here right now she was supposed to be at that damn law firm. Panic washes over me as I try to think of what to do next. I look to my left and spot a window. All my instincts scream for me to jump through that window and make a run for it. "Fuck" I mutter under my breath. If I leave now, I'll have to start all over tomorrow. I quickly dash into the closet and close the door. I hear a voice downstairs. Male. That's strange, her side piece left yesterday 

Somehow I know this voice.I stay still as a tiger waiting to pounce. He can't know I'm here I already have an open case for a B&E the cops assumed was my doing..I mean it was but innocent until proven guilty right. I hear him climbing the stairs, run Caden run my brain says but I can't move I'm frozen. Footsteps get closer to the bedroom door and I make a run for it they paid it won't be a scratch in the budget.

As soon as I open the closet and starts running for the window he opens the bedroom  door. I see his shocked face for a second only a second but I realize his face looks like my face. This is the last thought I have as I crash through the window I was admiring minutes before. I fall onto the plush lawn legs first feeling the snap of a tendon in my ankle. I don't have to look up to know he's just making it to the window as I limp\walk off dragging my messed up ankle behind me.

I make it 3 blocks before my body says stop. I lean against a wall of a brick building and try to find comfort so I can continue it's only another 6 blocks to my uncle's house,I could make it but this ankle was going to make a slow boogie. I light my last sweet of the day letting the smoke invade my system and take away the throbbing in my ankle now. I slide down the wall as I began the feel my endorphines kick in. That man...he looks like me. See before my mom died she told me the truth my dad left her not only because she had gotten hooked on crack. he left because of that broad I'd just ripped off but that mink was MY mother's . He'd taken it the night he left she said it had all our money in it. Sad she wanted to escape this world so bad that her only comfort was at the end of a crack pipe.

Higher than a balloon out of atmosphere I head home still reeling from the days events. Was that really my dad?does the coat even exist? I try not to look to concerned as I enter the cramped apartment where my uncle Lou and I lived.  "Caden! Do you have any idea what time it is?!" I shuffle over to the tiny fridge and pull out last nights dinner. "Caden! Are you even listening to me? Where the Hell were you? You could have been dead for all I'd known. And I can't call the ducking police because you have a record with them. Do you ever think about anyone but your fucking self? You ungrateful, juvenile delinq-" " SHUT UP!" I scream throwing my food at him. He tried to so he it and failed miserably. "Can't you see I don't want to talk to you! Last time I checked I'M the one who pays the bills. I'M the one who cleanes and cookes. And I'M the only motherfucker that would let you move in with me. So if I was you, I would shut the FUCK UP!" I turn back to the fridge to get another plate of food. I could feel my uncles cold stare on my back. I shove my food in the microwave and wait for it to heat up. "Caden, listen. I only acted like that because I love you." I turned and looked at him long and hard. "I-I mean it Caden. You're all I've got and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." I continue my long stare until my food dings. " I'm moving out." I say setting my food down on the table. My uncles eyes bulged so far out of his head I thought they were going to fall out of his head. He swallowed hard and tried to begin a sentence 3 times before managing. "M-moving o-out?" he finally managed. I solemnly shook my head yes and continued eating. " But why? I thought you loved it here. Y-you can't leave me here Caden. I won't be able to make it by myself." " I'll send you money monthly." I say bluntly. "But-"  "No. There is only one butt and that's mine walking out of that door as soon as I get that coat. The sooner I leave, the sooner I can start my life over." I gave him a look that told him the conversation was over. I finished my food and began to wash dishes. I pondered the thought of him comming with me. He was right, knowing him he would fall back into his old druggie ways and end up looking everything I worked so hard for. As I finished up the dishes, my uncle walked in to get a plate of food. I sighed and turned around. He looked like He had just been crying. " Pack you bags old man, we're going to Australia." His face lit up like the 4th of July. "We leave as soon as I get the coat." and with that I went to my room to collect my thoughts. Only one question really nagged at me. Why did that man look like me?                                                       -----------------------------------------------------------
