On my block

🥀One🥀

My mom is going to jail again. I'm honestly not surprised. The first time she went for 10 years I was 5 Evelina was 1 and Everado was 7. They put us in a foster home. The mom was really racist, she would always put us down because we were Mexican, she would say 'oh look the drug dealers are here' or she would say random things and asked if we understood better. We had to stay there for 4 years. Until our p.o found us a new home. The home we stayed in was really abusing. We had to stay there for 3 years, the last year he had did something to me that I don't wanna talk about. Then we moved to a nice house, but they just weren't able to keep us. We stayed there for 3 years then my mom got out of jail. We have been with her for only 4 months and she wasn't around much. Her and her boyfriend got into some trouble. So we had to go somewhere. Our uncle Chico said that he would take us in. Right now I'm sitting in the back seat of his car. Everado in the front, and Evelina next to me.  I've come a long way, I still can get hurt, but it takes a lot. And no matter what happens Evelina will Never Ever see me cry. Chico lives in RidgeWood. Aka santos turf, yeah I did my research. I also now NOT to wear green so I might have thrown away all of Everado's, Evelina's, and mine green clothes without them knowing. I think we are here. I saw a White House. It looked nice, well at least for the neighborhood. I saw so people out side. Then this one boy caught my eye. He had on a black tank top revealing is toned arms, he had this luscious thick black hair. He looked miserable tho. I just glanced then looked away

Chico parked his car, then we got out. Everyone grabbed there bags and Chico grabbed the groceries he picked up on the way. As I walked to the house I heard whistling and cat calling, I rolled my eye in discuss. Then I heard a voice from near by " don't worry about that you'll get us to it" the voice said, I turned around to see a girl with dark curly hair. "I'm Monse" she said as she held out her hand for me to shake. "Elena" I took her hand. "And this is my little sister Evelina" I said as I stroked her hair. "And my big brother Everado" I said as I looked over at him. "Oh, he's cute, anyways me and my friends are crashing a party and it would be cool if you come" Monse said "ummmm" "I'm not taking no for an answer" Monse said firmly. "Welp I guess I'm going out tonight" I said. "Yep you guessed right, and give me your phone number so I can text you went we are coming" Monse said. "Ok, but can you help me unpack please" "yeah sure" she said nonchalantly "and you can tell me about ur friends" I added. "Yeah ok" she shrugged as we both grabbed a box. "Cesar, cesar is the glue of the group, he's strong, Jamal, I love the kid but he just can't hold a secret, and Ruby, oh Ruby he is just Ruby tbh" she said as we walked to the house. "Chico which room is mine???" I Yelled to my uncle who was outside. "They have your names on the inside of the door" he yelled back.  "Ight" I yelled back. "So your the one who speaks her mind" I said to Monse. "Yeah" she said nonchalantly "how do you know" she asked. "I was that girl with my old friends." I said. "Well we should get along I guess" she said "yeah I guess" I replied. I grabbed a pen and piece of paper to write my number on, I quickly wrote it then gave it to her. I wasn't acting like myself. I was down, the fact that my own mother would rather protect her boyfriend who abuses her then her own children. I just wasn't in the mood for a party, maybe it might help I guess. "You ok" Monse asked, "yeah I'm fine just some mama drama literally lol" I said. "Wow, I get it I have problems with my mom too, so Chico's your dad??" She asked. "No Chico's my uncle, my dad went to jail for something he didn't do and, committed suicide" my eyes started to water up thinking about how amazing my life was 10 years ago when all of us were together, and happy. I quickly brushed it off. "I'm sorry" Monse Said, "any tips I should know" she asked as my siblings Everado and Evelina steeped in the house. "Don't touch her right arm" Everado yelled, "and don't get on her bad side, or sneak up on her" Evelina yelled. "Yeah just don't do that" I replied. "Why can't I touch your right arm?" She asked. "It triggers something that happened in the past, I'll explain it later" I said, I honestly don't wanna ever talk about it, but if Monse is like me she's not gonna drop it. "Ight" she said. "But thanks for helping" I said "yeah no problem, imma go 'get ready' and call you when we are heading to ur house." She said "ok" I replied. She let herself out, and I started to set up my room.

This is what I wanted it to look like.

But this is what I got

Not too bad tho, but that wall paper ain't it.
