Around when Samantha was ten years old, she was still living with Anara. One week, there had been many fights breaking out in their small neighborhood. Samantha, now mostly going by Sam, snuck out of the house to meet her friends from school. Anara was home at that time. She saw, but she wasn't angry, She said
"Sam, get back in this house. What do you have to say?"
"Sorry," she answered.
"I'll take you to the park."
"Thanks, mom," she replied. When they were walking to the park, shots rang out, boom, boom, boom, boom. The last one hit Sam. Screams were everywhere, the police had been notified, and an ambulance was on the way.
When the ambulance arrived, there was a crowd of people around Sam, people had given their shirts and things to stop the bleeding. The ambulance took Sam along with Anara to the hospital.
The bullet had gotten stuck in her right bicep and she needed emergency surgery to remove it. During the surgery, while Anara was waiting, she got a call from the police department. They said the man who shot Sam had been identified and locked up until court. He shot her while he was drunk and will be in court with his lawyer, so Anara would have to get one too.
