Growing up I had no love. My family abandoned me when I was younger, leaving me to wander the streets of New York City. Many nights I went hungry, scared, and I mostly slept on park benches. It didn't take long for me to be introduced to drugs, specifically cocaine. It was too good; I couldn't go three hours without it. Coke helped me forget the struggle I was going through. That was until my dealer was murdered because he owed someone money. I went into withdrawl, alone, and probably better off dead. But a man by the name of Pablo brought me in and nursed me back to health. "What do I owe you?" I asked. He looked at me with a wise smirk and said, " I want you in my gang. You've got potential, kid." Well, at the time, it seemed like good idea. He saved me, and all I had to do was be apart of his gang. No biggie. That was the dumbest choice of my life. And now I'm apart of a murderous gang with no way out, unless I go out in a coffin.

Fuck. I thought to myself. Now I'm stuck, no way out.

If I could go back in time, I'd just suffer through withdrawal.
