I nodded,"My mommy calls me Ali,where is my mommy.Where's Alex??"Rochelle sighed,"Well Ali,why don't you come with me and we'll find your mommy and brother together.Does that sound good?" I smiled at her and nodded.We walked off,the house was covered in beer bottles,and all kinds of alcohol.My mom had a problem.We walked out of the house as i looked around,my mom was no where to be found."Ali,where's your daddy?"I shrugged,my dad was completely out of the picture.My dad had left when Alex and I were babies.We saw Alex,he was playing with his cars in the driveway.I immediately ran towards him,"Alex,Alex!" He looked up,"Go away Ali,Im pwaying." I heard Rochelle laugh."Hi Alex,I'm Rochelle and where we're going there's all kinds of toys you can play with." Alex jumped for joy,"I wanna go,I wanna go!" I giggled along,"Yeah,me too!" Rochelle sat us in her car and that was the last time I ever saw that house again
