Skid Row, Los Angels Thursday 5:04 am
I was woken up my by my dog Zae licking the fuck out of my face. She is a Siberian Husky, brown and white with icy blue eyes. Shes licking my face only because she has to go outside, and I have to get ready for work.
I opened my eyes and pushed her off me and she started jumping all over the place. Happy that I was now woke.
I grabbed my phone and looked at the time, I had to get up now. I work at McDonald's.
Skid Row in Los Angeles is a poor ass, shitty area. So we ain't got no type of money. My little job I get like four hundred dollars a week. I dont work alot of hours, they asses don't like giving out overtime.
My mom is working two jobs, our rent is like six hundred, plus all the other bills. We behind on everything. I give her my checks, and whatever money I get.
Man, it's just me and my moms, she do whatever she can for me. Granted im grown, twenty two, but I still made some shitty mistakes. But oh well!
"Okay Zae" I laighed as I stood up
"Shit" I said as I wastrying to call my mom but my phone was off
"I hate our life girl" I rubbed her head
We have a one bedroom, and that's my mom room and I take the couch me and Zae. I grabbed my sheets to put them up.
I opened the front door and guess what another eviction notice was on the door.
I shook my head and ripped it off the door as I let Zae out to use the restroom. I stood on the balcony, looking at Zae run outside to the same tree downstairs to use it.
"Hey Zane baby" Mrs. Marsha said looking up at me
"Hey Mrs. Marsha I get off at one, so ill walk you to the store okay" I told her
"Okay honey, let me know" she smiled
"I will" I smiled at her "Zae girl come" I yelled from the balcony and she darted back inside
I was laughing because I could hear her barking as she ran up the steps to the apartment.
"Girl, I'm just gone start selling crack" I said closing the front door
"No in the hell you is not" my mom said
"Ma, just little bit of crack" I joked kissing her cheek
