East-Side Girl

Chapter 13 "What happened to Mio?"

Longer Chapter finally :)

I put mio's sisters in the hiding spot, no one has a good chance of finding it unless you know what room it's in. I ran down the stairs to see the boys standing up and huffing.

"What happened to ya'll." Jeff looked at me and I almost saw tears filling his eyes. That's not a good sing I counted all five of the boys except my brother James and Mio. I looked all around the room at the same time i realized that the crash I heard was the front door being kicked in by steel toe boots. Mio's dad wears those but at the same time he isn't... Nevermind i'm not gonna lie Mio's dad is a raging alcoholic and takes it out on him, he went out on a drinking binge a couple of weeks ago and we don't expect him to come home for a good two to three more weeks.

"Where's james?" I asked at the same time we knew where he could be, if Mio isn't here and he's gone as well he is most likely to be doing something he shouldn't. I moved to go call James's phone, that thing is attached to his hip meaning he has it on and with him at all times. I had called him earlier and he said he was going out to his girls house because she had something to tell him. It took about a ten minute walk to get to where James girls house was. The boys had come with me and we picked up Ben along the way there seeing as James girl was pretty damn crazy sometimes. As me and the boys approached her house you could see that it looked like someone ransacked it , the door was broken off its hinges and the large blue tinted glass windows were broken from the outside. Some of the bricks that lined the stony paved walk up to the wrap around porch are everywhere and not to mention that some of the guys that live by her are trying to fix things for her.

As me and the boys got closer we could hear the sounds of well we couldn't hear anything and we didn't see anything out of the ordinary.I looked around and saw the usuals, Bill the local gas station owner chasing around a kid who stole cigarettes and proceeding to zip around with his cane and eventually beating the kid with it, Maine a girl around my age getting off her third job she uses to support her and her three little brothers. Then the normal drunk passed out outside of the bar with the faint smell of Jager in the air from the local bar that everybody in this sector frequents at.

By now we got up to the front steps of Jame's girls house the door was unlocked so we walked into the house and looked around. Nothing was out of the ordinary with the house well besides the smell of vomit but at the same time she was also a heavy drunk so I guess that's normal. Some of the pictures on the wall were old and I mean old as in when James and her were in high school together, some of them spanned from the first day they met to when they both finished high school, or when James brought his first apartment, all of the pictures were so old now that I think about it they go back so far back to the times when we didn't run this sector and the times were so much easier compared to now. Back then there was only me and my brother along with James his girls and ben and his daughter when we didn't have to sleep with one eye open and train everyday along with going to school. I miss the simpler times I think we all miss the simpler times to a degree but at the same time I find myself thinking about how life would've changed if connor was never elected for running this sector. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Jeff running downstairs and stating that someone was -

"Dude, James and his girl are trippin." what the hell at a time like this they decide to drop a drug now. Matthew looks and without any words or any signs he just walks up stairs takes a left and opens the bedroom door to see a stoned James and his girl was sparaled out on the floor of the bedroom.

"Really man, of all times." Said Matthew with a exasperted voice he just started at James and felt pity for him, the boys always told him that he shouldn't be living in the life he was born into and we did all we could to get him out now look where he ended up high and from the looks of it not coming down anytime soon. Eventually James was almost good.

"Where's Roni and Syd at." Matthew asked James seeing as he wasn't tripping like his girl over there in the corner of the room. In the next room there was a peaceful Syd and Roni sleeping, at least they were sleeping, me and the boys hope that they didn't see the mess of their mom and step dad before we got here. Matthew came back down the stairs and asked for help with Roni and Syd, Damien and me went upstairs to pack for Roni and Syd for the next few weeks. Their shared room was needing cleaned up the kids couldn't do that seeing as Roni is six and Syd's two they were both too young to do so without help.

When we stepped into the room I noticed two things about the room, one the walls were extremely torn up and two it reeked of something and it wasn't very good. I honestly felt bad for Roni and Syd but unfortunately they were born into this, but I'll talk to James when he isn't trippin.

"Hey Matthew did you ever find out what these two are trippin on now?" I asked normally it's the normal too many pills or their sleeping pills they both take because their subscribed to both of them in the same dosage amount. There was a few things that deterred me from thinking it was any sort of pill of anytype. One you don't need tie up bands for pills, two needles aren't a useable item for non cushing pills, lastly the sleeping pills don't give of a smell of rotten eggs. While I was pretty deep into my thoughts Matthew finally figured out what some of the possibilities could be.

"Nov, they upped their game." I looked at my brother puzzled what did he mean by they upped their game. I'm assuming he took the face that I made that it isn't registering.

"Nov, it's meth they do meth, I don't think it's a good idea to leave Roni and Syd here with them."

"Well no dip idot, I wasn't gonna leave them here anyways who knows how long they'll be warped." A groan came from the corner of the room, Matthew and I both look over to see a warped James girl starting to get back to her senses. James had been unwarping for the last twenty minutes

"LLLLeenniiyy." James said as he groaned and stood up. We know what's about to happen we've seen it too many times before, he walked over picked up Leniy put her on the bed and then he put himself in their bed and they both fell asleep.

"Hey at least there asleep now." There's one thing Matthew was good at, stating the absolute freakin obvious. As Matthew was lost in thought I had started to walk over and cover the two idiots up and pull the safety walls up on all four sides of their bed. Now the only reason they have those is when james broke his head open when he was younger something happened and he started having random seizure like symptoms and in case they happened while he was sleeping or whatever they gave him these and now they came in handy more than once.

"I really hope that mess was a one time thing." Matthew always had a comeback or a comment about something. Matthew then turned to the door motioning me to head out of the room so he can shut the door. When we walk out of the room we walked over to Roni and Syds room to see Damien their cousin and one of my brothers finishing packing up their clothes for the next four weeks. I walked over and picked up Syd and put her in the once owned by Roni carrier, and Matthew picked up a sleeping Roni. I started for the stairs while grabbing Roni's jacket and gloves. As we ventured down the stairs I saw Sam leashing the dog and one of Leniy's neighbours putting the cat in it's carrier.

"We got everything and everybody." I had almost forgot that damn cat as we were walking out the door of James house. Thank god for the neighbour who came rushing out of the house and down the stairs.

"Hold on, ya'll almost forgot their cat." Daryl half yelled and whispered. My mind's off wandering when he comes over and taps my shoulder. Startled he offers to carry the cat back with us and then do his own thing, seeing as Sam was trying to keep control of the pitbull, Matthew was carrying Roni and I was carrying Syd.

It was around four or five when we got home, we had left the house at three thirty so we made decent time with having to walk with our disfunctioning crew. When we got home we went upstairs to see surrender putting the girls to sleep for a while dropped Roni and syd off with him along with the cat and dog. Mio still wasn't back yet. I considered calling him again but his dad pulled up into the driveway and then Mio gets out of the car. The entire driveway came alive with noise. Mio came into the house sat down and looked around.

"Mio where'd you go to." I asked curiously he didn't have brusies or anything so he didn't get picked up by his dad so what happened and where did he go to after all. All he did was look at me, with a blank expression and then without saying anything gets up walks over to the stairs and gos up silently. What happened to Mio ..?
