Forbidden {On Hold}

Prologue Pt. 2

Picture of Jackson on the side. Hot huh? (xDxDxDxD)

------------------------------------------------------------

Jackson's POV
"Woah! Woah! Careful there, maa... We don't need you hurting yourself." I say cautiously when my mom nearly stumbles into the house... Drunk again.

"Agh! Whatever you scummy manwhore! Here, take this." She says, or slurs as she sits down on the ragged old couch. She then waves her arm up in the air with her paycheck in her hands. I walk over and take it from her hands. She immediately takes her hand back and turns on the t.v.

I sigh and walk over to the front door and grab my black vans and put them on. I then open the door and start to walk out.

"Good riddance, asshole" I hear my mother mumble under the show she's watching. Whatever it is.

I close the door behind me and start to head towards the nearest grocery mart. It's about 5 miles away. I sigh, and continue to walk. I listen to the sounds of the town. Little kids screaming and running around playing. The honking of horns because of the terrible traffic there always is here. I observe the town like I have so many times before. The old black industrial buildings that are incredibly high. The old ugly black and brown identical houses that seems to continually go on the street. I continue to walk until I reach the small dusty mart. An old make shift sign above the door says, Kev's Groceries.

I sigh and walk in. A small ding sounds as I open the door. I walk through the aisles grabbing only the necessities that we need: food, water, hygienal products, etc. Once I grab everything my mother and I need, I head to the measly cash register where Kevin, who I've come to know so well from all my trips here, stands behind.

"Ay, Jackson! How you been?" He asks when he looks up to see me walking up.

"Same ol, you know? Drunk mom and the casual trip to buy the necessities..." I say, placing everything on the counter.

He gives me an empathetic look and sighs as he scans everything. "Yeah... It's rough here but you try. We all do. Hopefully one day that mom of yours will actually decide to start being your mom and switch the roles with you. It's messed up that you have to do all the work around your mom. Your still a kid and you nee-"

I cut him off. This isn't the first time he's gone off about my mom and I can't stand when people talk bad about her. I know she doesn't exactly treat me well, but she's still my mom and she always seems to have a hard time after my father left... "Kevin. It's alright! How much do I owe you?" I say nonchalantly looking up to meet his sympathetic eyes.

"It's on me this time." He states with a smile.

I stare at him like he just grew a second head. "Are you sure? I mean, I know you have a family to take care of and you need the money and-"

"It's alright! Just this time." He says with a laugh and hands me the bag. "-and I won't take no for an answer. Now go! Hurry and run along so you're not up to late. It's Sunday and you got school tomorrow."

I smile and take the groceries from him. I turn around and start to leave. "Thank you!" I say as I leave the shop. I start my trek home.

An hour and a half later

I sigh as I reach home. I walk up the steps and into the house. My mom is passed out on the couch and the t.v. is still running. I smile a bit and set the groceries on the counter. I head over and shut off the t.v. I take off my shoes and place them back by the door. I head through the small house to the back where my room was. I lay down on the mattress that lies on the floor and sigh. My room had dark brown walls and light brown carpet. In the far side of the room lies a mattress on the floor, where I currently am at. Next to the mattress is a small closet holding some clothes. Not much, just necessities. There's a small window across from the closet that shows the large field that is behind our house. I look at the old clock on the wall that somehow still works. 11:53 pm, it reads. I sigh and close my eyes. I lay there silently as I let the darkness take over.
