I head back home and Jake calls me.
"Hey Lex where you at I just popped down for a hot minute" he says.
I give him my address as he picks me up.
"Everything okay?" I say.
"Yes just wanted to ask you I'm in debt and I need 2grand as soon as possible". He says. "Since you work with the famous Zac could you somehow steal 2grand?".
I looked at him baffled. "You're kidding right?" I say.
"No" he goes.
"I can't I'm sorry" I say.
"Just think about it please Lex" he says.

I look at my phone no messages from Zac. Why do I kind of miss him for? As Zac drops me back home he says to me he will pay me back if I do him this favour but I'm still in two minds. I walk home and hear my mum shouting.
"I've payed the bills and everything you can't just evict is like that" she shouts.
Oh no if I heard that correctly we are getting evicted. This is not good.

Mum puts down the phone and places her fragile hands on her face.
I sit there staring at the floor not questioning her.
"We have to leave as soon as possible". She whispers quietly. She gets up without looking at my face.
I honestly feel so bad we have been living here since forever. How can they suddenly kick us out just like that?

I phone Zac as his my only situation. I explain the situation to him and he says.
"Unfortunately there's rules you need to abide to once you destroy something" he says.
