The struggle

Chapter 4

As me and raya was making are way home I seen a piece of paper . I prayed to god that it wasn't what I thought it might be .

Making my way closer to the door I seen it . something I wish I would never want see in my life is right here . I couldn't believe my eyes cause this shit was a eviction notice .

At this point I didn't know what to do . Raya was saying something but I tuned her out and held her hand tight. I didn't want to cry cause crying wouldn't solve anything . I even tried to open the door but the shit was locked . I realized all my shit was still in the house well I hope it was .

Where the hell can we go . we already don't have family and all we got is each other .

I just hope the window is still open in the back . making my way to the back of the apartment I seen that it was still open . I sighed in relief .

Raya I'm going to need you to go though the window for me .

Ok riri

On the count of 1.. 2... 3.... go

I'm inside riri you want me to go open the door .

Yeah hurry up before someone see us .

I ran back to the front of are apartment complex and seen ray peeking though the door .

I hurried and got in and locked the door .

I slide down the door and cried .

I felt raya head on my shoulder and she begin to cry too .

I had to stop crying not for me but for ray .

Hey raya it's ok ... I'm ok alright don't cry we got to be strong for each other ok ray .

I hear her Sniffling saying ok riri I love you forever .

Me to ray I love you forever too .

Checking the time on my TracFone It read 8:30 .

Thank God for Obama cause I wouldn't have this phone . I said to my self .

Getting up from the floor I made my way to the small kitchen and seen we still had a little amount of canned goods in the cabinet .

I opened the can that had corn and the one that had little hot dogs . I took out two plates and poured the food on the plates . I heated up the food for 10 min .

Ding !

The food was now done and me and ray ate it real slow cause we both knew that this might be are last meal .

After cleaning up everything I started getting big garbage bags to put all are clothes in. just in case the people that owned this place decided to lock up everything even the window in the back .

I got to get are shit together and start making plans .

I didn't want to be living like this .

I never got the chance to go a church but I hope GOD can hear me when I say my prayers .

I dropped down to my knees and prayed to god that things change . for a better living I hope he heard me . Im just hoping
