I woke up because I heard screaming. I walked into the kitchen of our run down apartment and saw my mother yelling at a guy. "Get the hell out!" She cried. "I have given you everything I got!" He stepped on a cockroach and took her by the collar of her shirt and shoved her against the counter. "I want more. What you gave me wasn't enough. I want more bitch!" He shouted. He looked at me, "What the fuck are you looking at?!" He yelled. "Go to your room Carter." She said softly. I ran to my room and shut and lock the door. 3 hours later when I woke up again I walked into the kitchen to find it empty. My mother was gone, and so was the guy. I packed a bag full of clothes and some water and a little bit of food and my teddy bear and I ran to my neighbors house. I knocked on their door and my neighbor just told me to go the hell away and that my mother would be home soon. I waited 3 days then decided to head out on my own. I found my way to my grandparents house and they took me in, still no sight of my mother....
