Weeds

The Beginning

Hi Im Alex. I am 15 years old and I am a drug dealer, I like to fight, smoke weed, and I was previously arrested for murder at the age of 13. I go to Woodside Highschool in Redwood City, California but I live in East Palo Alto, California. Growing up in East Palo Alto is hard, people getting shot every day, kids smoke crack and fucking school, but they all end up being drug dealers or murderers when they're older. None of us have the intension of hurting anyone but we will do anything to stay alive. I live with my best friend Sarahi who is 18 years old and is a senior at Woodside Highschool. Sarahi got jumped the other day but she took out her 6-inch pocket knife and threaten to stab all of them. When she got to our house she told me what had happened. I was so scared I slapped the shit out of her, I was crying because she could of gotten killed. Sarahi is the only thing I have and love, without her I wouldn't be alive. She took me in when my own mother wouldn't, I knew my father but dont miss him. I remember when I would have to beg my mom to let me sleep over at Sarahi's house. No one in my family is good, my mom's side of the family are potheads and murderers and my dad's side of the family are crackheads and love to fight, so I guess Im in between. Me and Sarahi have known each other since we were kids, her family knows my family and my family knows her family. I love Sarahi so much she's like my older sister, where ever she goes wether its to a party at her friends house or to smoke a blunt she always makes sure that I tag along. When me and Sarahi are in a fight we take out all our anger and depression on the apponent. One time Sarahi got in a fight with this girl that called me "stupid" and I had to beg Sarahi to get off of her because the police was looking for us, she had cut up and brused the girls face. Today Sarahi told me to accompany her to her friend James house to pick something up. When we arrived James was outside waiting for us, he had 3 ziploc bags full of weed and gave it to Sarahi, and thats when it all started.
