Jonah
I woke up early in the morning to go to work.
"Jonah will you be able to pick us up from school today?" My sister Esther asked.
"Sorry kiddo I can't today, so you guys have to ride the bus." I said. She gave me a little frown.
"Okay." She said.
"Im sorry Esther. But I can take you Svea and Zebulon to the movies later today." I suggested.
"Okay what movie?" She asked.
"Incredibles 2." I said. She squealed like a little girl. I laughed at her. She can be such a child.
"Alright I got to go. I'll see you later. Be good!" I said. I heard a 'yeah, yeah' before I closed the door. Then I headed towards my car got in and started to drive to the gas station.

"I CAMT BELIEVE YOU!" My mom screamed at dad. I was upstairs in my room comforting Zebulon, Esther and Svea. We aren't used to all of this arguing. It just recently started.
"WHAT ARE YOU MAD ABOUT NOW?!" He screamed back. Svea jumped at his voice. I just held her closer to me.
"YOU!" She started, "YOURE WHAT IM MAD ABOUT! YOURE DRUNK! YOUVE ALWAYS BEEN COMING HOME DRUNK SINCE LAST MONTH!"
"Stay right here I'll be back." I whispered to them.
"Please be careful." Zebulon whispered back. I nodded my head then walked downstairs. I stayed out of sight and listened.
"ITS MY LIFE AND YOU CANT CONTROL IT!" He yelled. My mom was breathing deep it sounded like she was crying.
"I can't do this anymore. I can't be with your drunk a**. I'm done." She said. Tears brimmed my eyes. Is she leaving us?
"Fine. Go. If you come back. Don't expect me to let you in." He said. Then there was a loud slam of a door. I came out of the hiding spot. My dad saw me.
"Jonah. Go back to your room." He said. I shook my head.
"She left?" He nodded his head. Tears flooded out of my eyes.
"Jonah I-" he tried to grab my hand but I snatched it away.
"YOU WHAT?! SHE LEFT BECAUSE OF YOU!" I screamed at him.
"ITS NOT MY FAULT!" He screamed.
"ITS NOT?! SHE LEFT BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS GET DRUNK, YOU PASS OUT ON THE COUCH. NO WONDER SHES GONE!" I yelled in his face.
"I should've left. I should've left first. I can't deal with you children. All you do is complain! I'm leaving." He said. And just like that. He left. Just like mom did. I bawled my eyes out. The others came down and saw me crying.
"JoJo. What happened?" Svea asked.
"They left. They both left." I said just a little bit above a whisper.

I got out of my car and went inside.
"Jobug what's up." Daniel one of the workers said.
"Umm. The sky." I said he laughed.
"Welp. We better get to working." He said.
"Yeah. Another boring day." I said. He agreed. Just then the bell rang. A boy with curly hair entered and went towards the drinks. I always see him, and when I do. He had the same exact clothes on. It really makes me concerned. He always comes here but never buys anything. Then he left with his backpack on him.
"That boy seems kinda sketchy," Daniel started, "I mean he always comes but never buys."
"That's exactly what I thought. It worries me too." I said.
"What if he steals?" Daniel asked. My eyes went wide.
"We can't let that happen anymore. We would get fired." I said. He nodded.
"True. Next time we see him. We should stop him." He said.
"Okay." I said.

"I'm bored out of my mind." Daniel sang. I groaned.
"Me too. I wish we could do something." I said.
"Yeah. I just wanna play the piano or something." He said out of the blue. I was about to say something but I saw the curly headed boy run after someone. Running through the crowd not even saying sorry to people he bumped into.
"There's something about you curly."
