Wrong Place Wrong Time

The Beginning

Damn that's the sound of a 9mm. My heart stops as it continues to ring off and as I peek my head around the corner I can see my best friend Shawn lying in a pool of blood.
Damn it was just supposed to be a regular summer and a regular day
This is just the beginning of my nightmare but let me take yu back to the start. It's my first time ever being in chicago, I always heard stories of the crime and drama but I am a man I can handle it. My aunt is the Principle of the local high school and i have to stay the summer with her because i got into a small fight back home in houston. I didn't want to come to my aunt house at all i loved it back home i had no worries and i was able to do whatever i wanted. I never really met my aunt until now because she stays so far away. I'm getting my bags packed to get ready to leave my parent are sending me early because i told the principle a week befor the fight i will blow this bitch up and he put the school under lockdown because of me. I guess yu can say i'm bit of a troublemaker , and while walking to the car my mom says to me " you have to do better so, i want you to go with your aunt and don't give her a hard time". I hop in the front passenger seat and put my headphones in to zone out my dads lectures about life. It's funny how it talks about life but he had me at 18 while he was running the streets, but i guess they just want the best for me. As we see off on the road all i can do is look out the window and guess how chicago will be and what will my aunt cook. In my moms words my aunt eats weird veggies all the time , and i never will be a fan of veggies. Miles and miles down the road we go and i continually look out the window and the roads seem to go on forever. Half way to my aunt house my little brother hollers from the back seat that he had to pee so we pulled over to a small gas station that was not very busy.My dad whipped out tahoe in the front of the store and killed the engin. We all hopped out and walked in and i went straight to the juice section in the coolers and i found my favorit drink which is snapple. It's my favorit i been drinking it since i was a kid. while reminiscing to myself about the juice i can hear the store owners tv in the back saying " another male in custody in the double homocide in chicago was apprehended today". I can hear my mom asking my dad "does he really have to go to that dangerous place", my dad responded " yes he needs to learn his lesson the hard way we can't baby him, my sister will take great care of him". I thought to myself i just wanna hurry and get this summer over with. As i paid for my drink and left out the store to get in the car my dad said " hold yo head up soon yu straight" i told my dad yeah i'm ok just don't wanna have to leave but it's for the best of me so i'll just have to deal with it. I hoped back in the car and we took off again on our journey. I told myself i'll just sleep until we get there and i layed my head on the window and went to sleep.
