I tied the lace on my shoe and got up going to the table in the center of the hotel room where a glass table stood, quickly grabbing up the stack of cash that was nearly four hundred dollars, I stuffed it into my backpack and threw it over my shoulder walking across the room, I ran my hand through my dripping wet hair because of the shower that I had taken not too long ago, I clicked open the lock on the door and pulled it open, I was about to take a step outside when I heard a soft groan and a grumble before the place went quiet. I looked over my shoulder at the naked body of the man that laid on his stomach unconscious in the hotel room, a sheet was thrown lazily over him successfully covering his ass, I let out a humorless chuckle and went out the door closing it behind me.

I shook my head making my way down the hall and instead of taking the elevator like any other person that just spent the night at a hotel would, I go to the door leading into the stairway, I was on the thirteenth floor but jogging down all those flights of stairs was nothing to me considering all the training I did, I took a deep breath once I finally hit the lobby and once again instead of making my way to the front like a normal human being, I make my way to the dinning hall, swishing through the empty room, pushing the brown double doors open I walk in the kitchen where the chiefs and other workers have already begun preparing breakfast for the guest, I walk through quickly going unnoticed by them and finally make my way out the back door.

I jog down the few steps and look to see one of the waiters leaning against the wall in black slacks and a red shirt with the sleeves rolled, he blows out smoke and flicks at his cigarette, he doesn't look up at me just puts out his hand and I drop the wad of cash in, he flicks away his cig, stuffs the cash in his pocket and goes back inside as I find myself heading out the alley and onto the sidewalk, I look down and walk stopping at the bus stop and wait a good ten minutes before the blue and white bus shows up, I swipe my bus pass as I get on and just sit down right at the front near the door so I don't have to move far when the bus comes to a stop at the park, I get out silently walking until the bus goes out of view and I break into a sprint.

I glance down at my watch, it's just six' o five but I run faster going to the so called "bad side" of the park, the benches are old rickety and have not been painted over for years, the grass isn't as rich and thick as the "good side" there is garbage littered here and there and it carries a smell the reminds you more of a sewage than a park, I run and jump over the gutter the separates the park from the road and run through old, grey metal gates, I run to the old apartment building with its paint chipping and make my way to the stairs jogging up to the fifth floor, I run to the apartment at the end of the hall and pull out my keys to open the door, but soon as I'm about to put the key to the door it opens.

I gasp a little and look from where the door handle just was to dull blue eyes, that glare at me, I step back as the woman I called my mother stepped from the apartment, she looks me up and down taking me in and I do the same to her, her blond frizzy hair is pulled up into a bun she would probably have to fix when she reaches to work, her skin is pale, she's about half my height, which means she was looking up into my brown and green eyes as she stood there in the white skirt and shirt that she wore for her job as a cleaning lady, her bag thrown over her shoulder and white shoes on her feet, it feels like we're standing there for a good while before she huffs and walks past me, she doesn't say good morning but what she does say does not surprise me " the twins are still asleep and if you keep staring at me you'll all be late for school and as I already told you I'm not going in to your schools to talk to your pesky teachers." with that she's on her way down the stairs and I shake my head again.

I walk into the apartment and push in the door behind me wincing when it slams but I quickly shake it off and go across the small apartment to a corner of the room that's set up like a small room, standing at the "entrance" I push the blinds that separate the twins "room" from the living room, I smile as I see the two,two year old's curl up against each other, hugging like this was the last time they would see each other, I leaned down and pat the eldest out of the two's shoulder, as if she wasn't even asleep her bright blue eyes that are usually filled with curiosity snap open and she gives me a soft tired smile immediately sticking her thumb into her mouth which for some odd reason wakes the younger of the two as his grayish blue eyes slowly blink open and he looks up and me and grins.

"Mia, Liam come on it's time to prepare for school, we don't want to be late now do we?" I stand up folding my arms over my chest.

They look up at me and nod before they both stand up in there bed at the same time and stretch their arms out to me, well in Mia's case she has one hand stretched out because she is still sucking on the thumb for the other finger, I lean down and grip them around their waist, then head towards the bathroom, I push the door open and set them down turning on the shower so the water runs until it's hot, quickly my tow white t shirts that swallow them are stripped off followed by their underwear and not too long after their, showered, dried and nearly dressed, I get them in their clothes and then let them brush their own teeth while I pour them each a glass of juice and a bowl of cereal, one being frosted flakes and the other cinnamon jacks, while they eat, I grab their stuff get their boots on their feet and we're out the door.

When the door is locked after checking that everything electrical is plugged out i place them each on a hip and jog down the stairs, they laugh all the way down because of the way their being vibrated, once again I'm running out the yard and through the park with them covering their nose because of their allergies and then we're at the bus stop, I set them down and check my watch, I had ten minutes to get to their school and drop them off then reach mine in time for the first bell, which I knew was not going to happen, but I knew if I moved right I could reach before the late bell goes off, soon the bus has arrived we're on and then we're off, I go to their class dropping them off at the door, I set them down and stoop down, they lean in and press two sloppy kisses to my cheeks, I pat their heads that have their bleach blond hair that are both cut short to shorten the time I spend getting them ready in the morning.

They wave at me and head in their class before I find myself running out the school and going to the back where I jump the fence, I ran across an empty plot of land and jump another fence ending up at the back of my school, I go through the back entrance and jog up the stairs going to my English class, I push open the door and step inside the class just before the late bell goes off, my teacher watches me and smiles shaking her head making her short pony tail bounce with the action "good morning Jae, once again you're not late but kindly take your seat so class can begin."

I nodded and headed to the back of the class taking a seat next to the window, I looked up and the class began.
