"Jacob, where the f*ck we're you !?!"

Jacob hated it when people yelled at him. It reminded him of the bad voices, the ones that he nor his friends could control.

"Mami please stop, I'm real sorry I-"

"No listen to me little boy, in fact- KIERAN, KYRO AND CHEROKEE GET YO ASSES DOWN HERE!"

Jacob started shaking, there was so much on his mind at the moment: Chres, Ray and his schizophrenia. It's was becoming to much for him to handle. He needed someone to vent too.

It's ok Jacob, just calm down nothing bad's gonna happen.

"You kids have no respect what so ever do you ?". None of the children seemed fazed by this except for Jacob, he's never seen her so mad before something must of made her mad before.

"Ma, what's the issue this is really uncalled for plus, your scaring little Jake." Said Kyro, trying to calm down the situation.

Even though in actual fact, Jacob was second oldest after Cherokee, but his 'siblings' referred to him as little Jake because of his timid ways.

All the siblings were very close and always stood up for each other, unfortunately for Jacob they attend a different school to him.

Kyro, Kieran and Cherokee all huddled together. Even though they didn't show it they all missed Jake when he was gone.

"I don't give a f*ck who I scare ! Jacob come here."

He but his lip. Hands trembling, knees weak. Slowly walking to his crazed foster mom.

When he reached him mom, the tension was thick. All that was heard was the harsh breathes of the family of 5.

Suddenly, a stinging feeling went through Jacobs cheeks. His eyes. Instantly filled with tears and laughing echoed in his head."

" NO, stop laughing ! PLEASE" he held his ears and screamed. He gave him mom a stare, like a deer in headlights and ran upstairs. He cried and cried. To others, it was merely a slap. But to him it brought back things that should stay under the rug like Uncle Leroy and his prostitution days.

After about 5 minutes of shouting coming from downstairs, he heard the door slam and footsteps . When his door opened he got up from his fatal position to see his siblings. Their expressions confused him. They smiled yet had tear-stained faced. But he didn't have long to analyse this since he was attacked with hugs and 'I'm sorry's' and 'I love bro's'.

"What's going on ?"

"We're getting evicted Jake !" Cherokee squeaked before bursting into tears.

" Its okay Kee-Kee, at least we'll be together." Jacob said comforting his younger sister.

"That'd the thing Jake, we have to go to our dad, moms living with aunt Trina and...mom said you have to find your own way. Your considered an adult so we she can't put you back in care, I'm sorry !" Kieren said, swallowing the lump in her throat.

Ever felt like your whole world is crashing down ? Like the walls are caving in and God is up theirs laughing at your distress, because that's how Jacob felt at that precise moment. He couldn't even cry, he just sat there and said one thing.

"Why me?"

One shot to your heart without breaking your skin

No one has the power to hurt you like your kin

Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else

Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself

And now your chest burns and your back aches

From 15 years of holding the pain

And now you only have yourself to blame

If you continue to live this way

[Chorus:]

Get it together

You wanna heal your body

You have to heal your heart

Whatsoever you sow you will reap

Get it together

You can fly fly

Dark future ahead of me

That's what they say

I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fed

Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain

A miracle child I'm floating on a cloud

Cause the words that come from your mouth

You're the first to hear

Speak words of beauty and you will be there

No matter what anybody says

What matters the most is what you think of yourself

[Chorus]

The choice is yours

No matter what it is

To choose life is to choose to forgive

You don't have to try

To hurt him and break his pride

To shake that weight off

And you will be ready to fly

One shot to your heart without breaking your skin

No one has the power to hurt you like your friends

Thought it will never change but as time moved on

That ugly duckling grew up to be a swan

And now your chest burns and your back aches

Because now the years are showing up on your face

But you'll never be happy

And you'll never be whole

Until you see the beauty in growing old

[Chorus]

"Well,there is some good news."

"What?"

"Im pregnant."

"But I can't see you all the child..."

As the oldest, Kyro took it as his responsibility to take care of his siblings.

"Let's make a vow, right now that one day we'll find each other. Deal?"

"Deal"
