I was walking to the store to go get my dad medication for his cold. My dad was getting really sick so I've been taking care of him.
"That will be 3.50" The lady said as she bagged the products I bought.
I gave her change and I left.
I reached an alley thinking it was a quicker way back to my home but I was wrong because I was now walking in this alley for about a good 15minutes.
"Look here you little shit. You are to go get my letter and no one gets hurt." I heard a voice say and I instantly started to panic. I hid behind a trash can to hear more and to stay out of view.
"I don't have it you dick!" A boy yelled. I peeked my head out and seen 4 boys. 3 of them against 1.
"Justin, I swear. You better have my shit or I will hurt everyone that you ever cared about." The boy threatened. The 3 guys kicked the so called Justin and ran away. I rushed out to the hurt boy to see if he was okay.
"Oh my god! Are you okay!?" I said to the boy.
"I'm fine. What are you doing? Who are you?" The boy Justin asked looking at me.
"I'm Ella. And I was walking home till I saw you getting hurt."
He stood up causing me to stand up with him. He looked hurt. Like bad. I wanted to see if he was perfectly fine.
"I'm okay. Just never come back here. Got it?" He ordered.
"But you looked-
"Got it?" He cut me off and I shook my head yes.
"Good. You didn't see me or what happened." He told running away out of the alley.
"Rude much!" I called out to him and all he did was just look back and continued walking away. Such a dick.

"What took you so long?" My dad said as I gave his medication.
"I uh-um got lost." I lied and went to my room. I didn't have the best of houses. We lived in a small house that don't have a upstairs. We don't have a fancy shmancy place but it will have to do. If you're asking where's your mother? Well she died when I was 15. So two years ago because I'm 17 now. She died from a severe car accident. It was super tragic. I couldn't even take it. As I walked to my room I just laid my head down. Thinking to myself, how could this even happen? Why can't I had a normal teenage life?
I felt my eyes getting heavy so I let sleep take over my body.

I walked through the halls of my high school. I wore my gray PINK Victoria Secret hoodie and leggings. I wore fuzzy ugh boots.
"Hey El. Want to hang out today?" My best fiend Cassidy asked.
"Gee I wish I could but I have to take care of my dad today. He's getting sicker. And I need to be there for him." I told truthfully. Her face frowned.
"Yeah I get what you're saying. Just let me know when can we hang. Have a good weekend Ellie." Cassidy said as I exited the school.

As I entered the fresh smell of Tina Marie School Of Dance company,I couldn't help but smile. I missed this place so much. I went to the bathroom and changed into my spandecks and sports bra.
"ELLIE!!!!" I looked and seen My dance teacher Mrs.Jerry yelled hugging me. I hugged her back because I missed being here. I felt as if I was home. I had put on my dance paws and I started to warm up.

Justin's POV
"Justin! I got us a new hook up! That way we smoking heroin all the fucking time!" Danny said excitedly. My face lit up.
"Hell yeah. Lance can I have a cigar?" I asked and he handed me a smoke. I took one big puff and smiled. This is the fucking life. It was smoke everywhere. Weed, cigars, and people taking heroin. I know this is a bad thing that I'm doing but, this is what I do, and who I become.
"Yo Justin. Who's the girl?" I looked at what Danny was talking about and the same girl. She looked surprised.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to come back here? You just don't listen do you?" I told her. And she rolled her eyes at me. "You can't tell me what to do." She said sounding annoyed. "What's your name beautiful?" Danny asked and my eyes widen.
She was about to open her mouth until I pulled her away. "Um, we have to go." I lied and grabbed her and pulled her out the alley.
"Um, hands off." She ordered snatching away from me. "Get in my car." I said climbing into the front seat She just stared at me from the outside of the car. "What are you doing?! Get in" I said wide eyed. She just folded her arms. I rolled my eyes and opened my outh to talk.
"Oh i'm sorry, I'm Justin. Nice to meet you. Would you like a ride home? I'm not gonna rape you" I said stateing the obvious.
She smirked and got into the car.
"Names Ella. Call me whatever that has El in it." She said buckling her seat belt.
"Hungry?" I questioned.
"Yeah. And why can't I tell those guys my name?" She asked and I just studied the road.
"They aren't good for you. But I hope you won't mind eating drive through McDonalds."
"Okay whatever. And that's fine."
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
She had fell asleep on the road so I just decied to drive her to my house. I carried her to my bed room. I gave her one of my whit T's and I just pulled the shirt over her sports bra. Then I exited my room to sleep on the couch.
This is what my life has come to.
