"Just keep walking and hope he wont notice you" this was all that was going through my head as i slipped some food in my Hood pocket and started to exit the store. "Sir, are you going to pay for that?"the cashier asked. i sprinted out of the store in record time hearing footsteps coming after me.
I felt my hood fall off my head but i didn't care i just kept running until i heard the footsteps stop. I cut through an alley. and up the fire escape at the back of my apartment and slipped through the window. I pulled out a small bread from my pocket and some small candy bars. then i went over to the small bed next to mine.
"Annie, Annie" i whisphered.
" Derek. is that you?" she shouted while rubbing her eyes. "shh." i said a minute too late
"Where have you been," he shouts "Have you been stealing again?"
"You don't feed us enough here." i yelled in response to my dad in protection of my little sister and I. This wasn't the first time he had caught me stealing
" WE FEED YOU ENOUGH!!" he yelled then came over to meas I braced myself for what was coming next. He punched my face then kicked me in the stomach causing me to double over in pain." that should teach you never to steal again" Then he stalked off leaving me balled up in a corner watching my mother and sister crying at the door.
"Derek. Are you okay?" Annie asked.
"Yeah Annie. I'm okay.."i lied " I carried some thing for you" i said pulling out a candy bar.
"Candy!!!!! yeah!!!.. thank you D" she squaled and gave me a big hug.
Our parents never fed us much. i kept small food hidden away in our room to feed us when we nwver got enough. A 16 year old boy should eat more than a slice of pizza per day but that is what i mostly survive on daily.
my dad never hit Annie.But yet still he could hit my mother. i hated it here. i hated my family, i live in the ghetto part of chicago. ghraffitti and drug delers everywhere. I go to a public school whereI have two friends Ben and Zach.
