"ARE YOU STUPID?"

That's not a question you think you're dad would ask you; unless you're Kweku.

Kweku was just bailed out of prison after holding Derick at Knife point, and hurting Yaw in the process. Kweku, his dad and his mom were in the living room, but Mr Nkansah went all out on his son.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY I USED TO BAIL YOU?"

No response.

"DO YOU?"

No response.

SLAM!

Mr Nkansah hit the television to the ground. Kweku simply kept looking down.

"Honey I beg lets..."

"NO THIS BOY HAS TO UNDER-STAND, WHAT, HE JUST, DID!!! I'M SURE YOU THINK THIS IS ALL SOME SICK GAME WHERE I PAY AND YOU FOOL!! IS THAT IT? HERH?? ANSWER MEEEEE!!!"

Kweku simply remained silent. Mr Nkansah then raised him up and pinned him to the wall.

"HONEY!"

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE HMM?" Mr Nkansah spat on him. "I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF YOU'RE MY SON!!! Do you even know who you are? Honey I-I-I heard some young boys in the street they said something, what was it?"

"Honey I beg," Mrs Nkansah continued to beg and sob.

"Oh come on honey... it was (he pinned Kweku to the wall again) it was....YES! It was 'piece of sh*t'."

"HENRY!" His mom shouted.

"YES!! YES THAT'S WHO YOU ARE, THAT'S WHO YOU'VE BEEN AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL BE!!! AND ONE DAY I'LL LEAVE TO TO ROT IN A CELL AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO THE FAMILY NAME!!"

PUSH!

Kweku got loose of his father and ran upstairs to his room.

"HEY!!! YOU BETTER RUN OOOO!!! YOU BETTER RUN!!!!"

SLAM!

Kweku instantly slammed his door with his back as he went from his back on the door to sitting on the floor. He was panting in rage as a few tears came running down is cheeks.

Who was he though? He quickly rummaged through his stuff, searching for some shii so he doesn't have to think about that question.....he didn't have some.......but he knew where he could.

Without hesitation, he jumped out of his window, stole his dad's motorcycle and drove to..

B.O.S

1:50 AM

Still panting out of anger, he jumped the wall and run to where O used to be; surely he'll find some shii.

"WHO ARE YOU? A PIECE OF SH*T! WHO ARE YOU! A PIECE OF SH*T!" The loud voices in his head repeated over and over and over.

He checked every room, every hall (except one in particular) and even rushed up to the balcony.

His head began to spin, his stomach began to twist, he felt like he was going to fall off until....

"Now you're not sleepy."
