Hard Knock Life

CH1 Pt2

*still a flashback*

That morning, i awoke to the sound of Jaeydan screaming my name

"Jord they are taking!"

Everything was moving so fast, I had to think. I  realized, that there was nothing i could do.

I watched as they took him out to the car

"I love you Jae, never forget, I will figure this out for us, dont worry about the kids at school, I got you always." I cried

Before they could pull off, I ran to my closet, and found the jar I made for him a while back. A jar of 45 things i love about him. I grabbed the jar and ran out side as fast as i could and gave it to him along with a kiss.

"I love you"

From that day forward, I knew I had to be strong and figure something out . For the both of us.

*flashback over*

I am now 16, with even lower self esteem than before. Ms.Johnson, my 54 year old tutor, has been helping me out alot with many of my needs, shes like my grandmother that i never had. I have been placed in another fosterhome. The parents here are way more caring. They are kind of like family to me, but everything feels wrong with my brother gone. I havent heard or seen him ever since-

I dont really like to go back to that day, so im going to stop right there. School starts tomorrow, and with Ms.Johnsons help. I have improved with the education. Also, i recently got hired at Jump Around, an indoor trampoline park. That allowed me to be able to go shopping for this new school year. I wish Jae was still with me. Then the kids wouldn't be picking on him. I really do miss him.

"Jord, can you do me a favor hun?" My foster mother Janice called
"Sure i replied"

She asked me to run to the store and get some milk cheese and macaroni for tonights dinner. I completed that task and returned home. Not forgetting the slick comments on the way.

"You a fine lil jawn ma"
"How old you is baby?"

Again, i ignored
