Have you ever had a days that went so well and you think it will last forever? I sure did, but instead it became into a nightmare I can’t wake out of. I live with my mother and brother. Red is my brother and my mother’s name is Leslie. Where the packer-man family I had a step brother name Isaac. He left on his eighteen birthday. Who knows where he is today but no one cares he was a jerk to our family. I was fifth teen and Red was eleven. My mother had cancer for three days there still looking for cure. It’s my fault what had happened in my life so far. I put the blame for this shit. I blame everything on me... because I’m the one who joined the gang in the first place we call each other Street Boys and this is about that life…

It’s a Saturday morning we were visiting our mom from the hospital
“Red open the door what the hell you doing in there?”
“Ahh… Hold up I’m almost done.” Red said nervously.
Red got out of the bathroom and out on some shades. “Ight lets do this thing!” I took the shades off and said, “What the h… are you high?”
Red got the sunglasses back and put them on “what? Me no never why?”
“Red we got to talk about this your too young to be doing that shit!”
“So what you do it why can’t I?” Red walked out of the house angrily.
“Red I’m older then you!”
“You’re only twenty and I am thirty”
I got mad that he jokes around like that. As we talked I ran into some girl.
“Oh... Sorry... I was…” I paused and stared at he r gorgeous stunning eyes.
“It’s okay… are you okay?” I froze and finally spoke.
“Yeah... I’m alright. Have I seen you somewhere?”
“Oh yeah! You’re where that boy who got suspended. The whole time in high school! Wow you’re popular. Everyone talked about you, why you in aren’t school anymore.”
“Oh yeah I had things to do. Problem going on. Where just going to the hospital to see our mom.”
“Is she okay?”
“Nah she just has cancer…” I know she looked confused maybe it was something I said.
“Then she’s not okay. I’m sorry to hear that. I got to go here I’ll give you my number.”
She wrote on a piece of paper and she smiled, gave me the paper and waved good bye.
Red stared and said, “See you later sweet thang!” I looked at the paper and put the number in my pocket. I looked at Red. “You’re not going away with it. Mother and I are going to talk.”
Chapter 2

We got into the hospital and walked into the door Red sat down in the waiting room while I was talking to the nurse in the front desk. “I’m here to see Leslie Packer-man?” the nurse looked some files and went around the desk and asked who I was. “I’m her son” I asked. “Sir I’m sorry but. Ms. Packer-man died last night we don’t know what time.” I went into silent mode and looked down. I nodded my head. I said furious.
“Why weren’t you guys there for her huh? That’s your job!” Other people stared, some walked away.
“Sir... I’m”
“No don’t talk to me you call herself a nurse? You guys don’t do shit you guys just steel people’s money and don’t do anything? Letting people die like that!?”
“Sir. I’m going to ask you to leave before I call security…”
I left kicking the door open and went home. Red was in shock and followed me five feet away from me. I open the door and punched the wall cursing every time I hit it. Red locked himself in the room I could tell his heart was beating fast and was frightened. I lay on the couch cooling myself out. The room was quite I listened to the sound of my heart and listened to the sink dripping water. I heard the dips getting lower and lower while I made myself unconscious. I had flash backs when I was with my mom yesterday. Telling her how much I loved her and she was the only one I got. Holding my hand telling me how much she loved me back. The last thing I said to her was someday she will be alright the next day they will find a cure I promised her. But I feel like I broke that pomes. I feel awful now.
Chapter 3
I woke up from Red calling my name. he moved my arm and poked my face several of times I woke up because it was getting annoying.
“A.J! I’m going to be late for school!” I got up quick and put on my shoes, put water on my hair, and brushed my teeth quick.
“Great where not going to have time!”
It’s okay I’ll just say you had an accident on your bed and I was cleaning it up”
“That’s not funny at all!” I pushed him gently “Just messing with ya”
We walked home to school. I heard load music behind us. Some guy pulled down the window and pulled out a gun. I got Red behind me. They aimed at me but didn’t shoot they waved the gun up and down. They pulled up the window and drove off.
“Are they going to kill me” Red said.
“Nah there just messes with ya…” I know they weren’t
“Will you protect me?” I couldn’t say no or yes. I can if I had a gun.
“Yeah… I will.”
“Promos?” hearing promises is me braking them. I will try to do whatever I can to help my brother.
“Why are you asking me so many questions?” I grin and took him to school.
“Hey Jeffery! Common man!” those where Red’s friend they call him Jeffery. I herd D.J calling my name in his car. “A.J come over here I gatta show you something!” I looked back at Red and I saw him going behind the school building with his friends. I was worried. But I knew he would be alright. I got into D.J’s car and went to his house. I sat on a chair. While D.J got a bad and dumped all the stuff it had in it. I saw a needle fell out.
“What’s that for?”
D.J smiled. “Well we call it speed and what you do with it is…”
I interrupted him. “I know what it is just why you have it?”
“Oh...for us.”
Us? What you mean “Us?”
You and me… I interrupted him again. “I know that!”
“Why you asking any ways? Give me your arm.”
“No way I never done any of that stuff!”
“Okay I’ll do it and you do it deal?”
“Alright but…” I didn’t finish my sentence he immediately gave me a shot on my forearm. I began to feel great. The room was in slow motion my palm of my hand where sweating my heart was racing. I saw D.J laughing awkwardly. Now I know why they call it speed. I was hype up. Then I saw D.J smoking weed and passed it to me. I saw my hand shacking I couldn’t hold the joint right. I felt nervous, a storm inside me, I felt good though.
“Dude what time is it?”
“I can’t see the clock it says 38:4pm”
“Its 4 o clock? Oh shit I’m suppose to pick ma bro up!” I ran into the door and hit my face badly. “F…” D.J laughed and said I was a dumb ass. I opened the door knob and left normally.
Chapter 4
I came near my house. The window was open and smelled weed in there. I opened the door open and saw Red’s friend chatting and stopped when they saw me. One kid hid the cigs behind him. “Give me those now…” the kid in the right said, “No way you’re not my dad!” I took them away from him and asked him. Would you smoke toxic that kills you or urine?
“Urine? Did you just say urine?”
“Yeah rat urine!”
“Gross neither! Why did you ask me that?”
“That’s what’s in it” Red walked the room not seeing me.
“Hey guys look what I saw in my brother’s r…” he saw his friends silently and pissed off.
“What?” Red said clueless. The boy in the middle said, “Looks who’s behind you!”
Red turned. Slowly. “Sit your ass down!” I shot the door and talked.
“You guys are pathetic.” The kid in the left got up. “Give me my cigs now!” I looked at him and scared him with my looks that he sat down getting embarrassed.
“There mine I won’t snitch There yours I’ll snitch”
They all got up and left. “Let’s get out of here man” Red said, “See you tomorrow guys” They all looked back at him one said, “Nah man your bro just fucked it up.” Red looked at his brother while they left. “Now my friends hate me because of you!”
“Friends? You call those friends?” Red got up and tried to walk away.
“Don’t walk away from me!”
I grabbed his color shirt. Red grabbed my arm and twisted it and pushed me down. I lost balance because I was still drugged. I heard a car drifting and gun shots. Red went outside. I ran and pulled Red inside and shut the door. I got Red into the closet for protection. I got low and looked out the busted window.

Chapter 5
“Come out and fight!” one said. The other gang banger got out of the car with a bat. A.J got out and walked slowly. They laughed. The guy who brought the bat dropped his bat, and gun.
“Guess where going to be two on one!” I tried to figure out how to fight. I never did it before. One guy walked towards me. I through the first punch, hitting him in the face.
“Wow that felt good…” I said whispering. But right when I punched him he punched me in the jaw. I lost my balance again and fell. He punched me in the face several of times. I blocked my face and kicked him in the balls. The only thing I could of done so far. He fell on the ground coughing. Then I got up. I saw the other ganger banger walked towards me. When I saw Red got out and yelled out.
“Get away from him!” Red stabbed him in the back with the kitchen knife. I was in shock, “Are you crazy?” The guy screamed in pain and said, “you little fucker!” The guy who was on the ground got up and went to get the gun and aimed at him. The guy with the knife yelled out, “No! the leader wants him alive!” He through a fit and got the knife out of the guys back. He screamed and went into the car. I saw another car. It was D.J. he got out of the car, got out a bat and walked towards one guy and hit him in the face. Blood dripped down his mouth knocked his teeth out. The guy fell looking unconscious, had a little strength to get up he was unsteady walking into the car. And they drove off while cops where coming. Red, D.J. and I went into D.J’s car.
“You okay?” D.J said.
“Yeah…” I said moving my jaw with my hand.
“Not you Red!” I rolled my eyes.
“so what happened?” D.J asked Red.
“He was getting beat up bad. I stabbed the bad guy.” D.J looked surprised.
“Way to go Red! So are you…. Okay... A…” He bust out of laughter. So did red. We drove to a secrete hide out for the next day.

Chapter 6

It was morning the sun shine woke me up. I was thinking who those people where. Why where they after me only. I was guessing there in a gang they all were blue polar shirts and black dickeys. I woke up D.J telling him where going home. I woke Red up. We were tired. Red and I went to a ice cream shop nearby. Red got a vanilla ice cream cone I just got water. I went to the corner with Red hanging out. I turned and looked into a building window just for fun I was bored and carious.
“Give me your money” Someone said with a gun on my side.
“Please don’t shoot I’ll do anything!” Red laughed and so did the guy. I turned and it was C.J! I punched him in the shoulder.
“Ow ha-ha why you do that?”
“That’s not funny at all yo!”
“Yo? ha-ha I’m sorry brah.”
“put that gun away before someone sees you!”
“It’s a water gun ha!” He said squirting water in my face. I got it and dropped it stomping it hard.
“Man that was a buck fifty! Why would you do…”
“Shh…” I shushed him for a reason. I thought I heard something familiar.
“What is it?”
“Shh…” I looked around and saw the same car the people aimed the gun at us.
“Shit… it’s them we got to get out of here!” they pulled down the window and started to shoot. People screamed and ran others where calling their cell calling the cops we both got down and ducked behind a car. I couldn’t find Red any ware.
“Red!” I saw him hiding in the corner. The gang bangers stopped shooting and aimed at Red and shot him. Everything got silent. All I heard was my heart pounding really hard.
“RED!” I yelled out so hard I damaged my throat. C.J. crawled to his car and got a gun and shoot back. I didn’t care about anything at the moment didn’t even care if I got shot, I picked up Red and he laid there hopeless… I heard him breathing. We got into the car and drove to the hospital quick.

Chapter 7

“We need someone out hear” a doctor said. I heard everything they said.
“Blood pressure is dangerously low”
“He might not make it.” I saw him the day he got shot and the day they tried to save him. I heard nothing because he was in the other room.
“Sir can you tell me what happened? How did he get shot?” Cops and sirens is all I heard. I was in shock. I couldn’t talk. The doctor came out and nodded telling me he was gone. I felt like passing out.
“Sir? What happened?” a Doctor on the phone saw a gun in C.J’s pants. C.J looked at the Doctor, the doctor stared and saw her pushing something under the desk.
“A.J we got to go man!” We both ran off and got into the car. While he was driving it was silent for a second.

“Tomorrow was his birthday…” I said sadly. C.J looked at him feeling bad for him.
“I bought him this ring… it meant his birthstone date, He always wanted that.”
“Dude…. I’m sorry.”
“Ha… it’s straight man... he’s somewhere better now he’s in peace” I said in a scratchy voice. C.J. drove fast and took the other turn.
“What are you doing?”
“We got to get D.J and R.J to help us out” C.J said pissed off. I think I know what he was thinking. “We got to be in a gang that’s what they want! We need too that’s the only way were going to fight.” I knew he was serious so I didn’t say anything. Where’s our “Crew?” C.J grin and said at Samantha’s party.

Chapter 8

We got there and saw R.J on top of the roof yelling out “Victory is mine” I got a rock and hit him. “A.J, C.J que pasa?”
“Where’s D.J? We need him and you down here now we got a mission!” He’s in the room go up stairs and take a left turn you’ll see a door that says do not disturb. R.J got down and raised his hand up. “High Five!” I just walked passed him.
“What’s his problem?”
“His brother just died…” I walked into the house loud music and lots of girls. I knocked on the door that said Do not disturb. A girl opens the door and was half naked. “Are you the boy who wants the…” I pushed her out of the way and said. “D.J we got work to do…” I went down stairs while D.J was getting dressed. I ran into Jessica the girl who gave me her number.
“Hey you never called me is everything okay?” I got her hand and brought her outside and told her that my brother just died and everything that’s going to happened.
“Oh… my I don’t know what to say. I’m coming with you!”
“No! you can’t, it’s too dangerous where going to do this with our crew only.”
“Well I am one of your crew I knew you since high school we were best friends!”
“I can’t take you with me I’m sorry.” I kissed her check and said good bye. She looked sad and worried.
Chapter 9

I told my crew to make a plan on how we going to fight and do this. No one knew how to do anything or why “The leader” wanted me only. I wanted to know why they killed my brother and are after me. Was it an enemy? Was a old friend? I had nothing to say.
“Guys we got to do this tomorrow I got nothing.”
“me too how are we going to do this shit?”
“not sure…”
“Ight sorry we got to do this tomorrow.”
Everyone left the hide out. I heard someone outside the window. I went to see who it was and it was Jessica. “What are you doing here?” she crawled in the window. “I want to help you please.”
“I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“I’m fine and will always be fine.”
“You don’t know anything”
“I overheard you guys saying you want a plan I can help” she smiled and got a piece of paper.


Chapter 10
I went home and the plan seemed brilliant. I was home alone the glass was shattered still I don’t know why no one was here yet. No cops, no signs saying do not enter. I guess the cops weren’t for us. The place at Main Street 41 is a big place hardly any Nabors around, but I did see a note. I read it and it said. Meet me at the alley. I was scared what if it was someone who wants to kill me? I didn’t go alone but I wanted too. I got to the alley. Someone open the door at a dark spot with lights flickering.
“Glad you came.” Someone said.
“Who are you!?”
“don wor bout it.”
“What? You killed my brother! Why do you want me for!?”
He went closer and punched me in the face. Three times.
“The leader will see you soon!”
He punched me in the stomach I lost my breath. He dropped me on the ground and kicked me on the ribs I think he broke it I couldn’t move every time I did the pain on my right side hurt. He left me laying there, but I still got up and went home. I limped the whole way down there. I went to the living room and fell. Someone opened the door and walked in. I laughed.
“I should of known who the leader was.” I smiled
“Isaac… God I hate seeing your face again...”
