Noah's Pov

I hear dishes breaking downstairs and I know my mom and Dad are at it again.

This dysfunctional family.

Sometimes i wish I was never born.
No one wants my life. Not even i do.
The baby starts crying making matters worse and i can feel the headache starting to rivet over my head.

I pack my bag with some clothes for tomorrow and call Matthew.

"Can i come over?" I asked .

"Sure", he told me," your parents at each others throats again?"

"I'm planning on running away and never coming back ", i told him after I'd reached the ground from my window.

"Hang in there", he told me," I'll come pick you up".

I wish i had wings so i could fly away. And leave the life i have now.

Go somewhere far way and never look back.

But not until JoJo is old enough where shd doesn't need cereal or diapers. Not until i can give her a happy childhood. One where she doesn't have to listen to curse words all day.

" Party this weekend", i smiled dropping my bag on Matthew's bedroom floor.

"You have to study remember ?" Matthew reminded me.

"Fuck that shit", i groaned.

" I need to blow off some steam", i sighed," I've had a rough week."

"You keep blowing off steam and your life won't be getting any better", he warned," take it from someone who knows".

I nod my head to the music i hear playing next door.
For the past hour I've been listening to Fetty Wap, Dj Khaled, Rae Sremmund, Cash, Young Ma, Young Thug.

" I like your neighbor's music choice", i told Matthew.

" Would you be surprised if i told you my neighbors a 16 year old girl?" He chuckled.

" You're kidding me right?" I asked in disbelief.

" It's as true as the fact that you have two balls", he laughed.

" All men do", i laughed.

"Well that girl has more balls than any guy i know, even you".

"And you say this because?"  I asked.

" She's tough", he told me with pity in his voice,"if you think you're life is a hell hole you should check hers".

" I have enough drama", i told him," that gives me no time to pity anyone else are listen anyone else's sob story."

" I'm sure no one gives a fuck", i told him.

My life is already a roller coaster. An unfortunate ride I've been trying to get off of for years now.

Lots of failed attempts.
