One Night

As I walked home, I juggled the envelope in my hands. I was debating whether or not I wanted to know if I got in or not. CSPA was tough to get into, and with my scholarship I still would be paying for it the rest of my life.

I finally got home, which in reality is the basement of my little big cousin's house. She's older, just shorter. I walked into the house under clouds of smoke and permeating smells of alcoholic desperation. I walked towards the kitchen to the basement, where I lived; Yes, live.  I had a mini- kitchen and a toliet and shower and a bed.

It isn't much, but it is mines. My mother lost custody of me and my sister when I was 10 because my brother's dad hit her and there was a big D.S.S. case thing going on. I see her everymorning before school and every night when I go to pick up my little brother from school. The school allows him to stay after school until I can pick him up.

"Ashton did you wash yet" I asked him

He popped his little head up off the bed, "yesh... I always do you don't have to ask each time" he answered.

I walked over the changing corner, then put on my pj's. I pulled out my phone and opened snapchat. I watched everyone have a lit saturday, at their parties and whatever. I laid back on the bed and looked over at my brother who was slowly dozing off.

I hit the light on the lamp, because I myself was kind of tired.

"Mimi get up big mama here" i yelled as we ran through the house into the livingroom.

We took all the pregnancy test boxes and the test themselves and through them away and under the couch and pretty much anywhere.

"Mi'rah come help me get these groceries" big mama yelled halfway through the front door. I ran towards Mimi room and climbed out her bedroom window.

See big mama don't play that. No company throughout the week when she not there; even if it's me or Ki. But, I jumped out the window and ran around the front of the house; alarming the neighbors dog. I ran my ass so fast from over there.
