‘The job was to only get money and survive, or help others. I always did it, but theirs always a price. It became to dangerous something I never liked other than doing tricks with my board, but getting busted with a pound wasn’t the lifestyle of a teen.’

‘When I arrive home, my grandmother was asleep already, tired of waiting on me.

‘I observe her and wonder if I’ll ever be that age at the rate i’m going.’

‘I quickly run to my room to check on Peanut, as I thought, he was asleep and come back to the living room.’

‘I take her keys and head out to her old car; an old gray Benz with squeaky breaks.

In order for me to sneak it out, I crank it up gently and put it in drive, I push it slowly down the street and get in about six blocks away from my home.’

‘I had no idea where I was going, but I felt the need to clear my mind, maybe go see someone.’

‘After staring at the picture for an hour, I realized how fucked up this year would be.’

‘I haven’t spent time with my best friend, Tinker, I know she probably misses me as well.’

‘I look out and see the moon light brighten up the streets, thinking presumably, I gather that she might just be working on a song or something.’

‘I wonder if she would like some company.’

-Alice-

‘Think Al, what would be a good noteuhA flat, or C,’ ah screw it.’

‘I put away my guitar and head to my bathroom, checking my face, teeth and breath, don’t ask what for, you never know.’

‘I come back to my room and put away the instrument while looking quickly up at my window. I nearly trip over my own shows,’

‘Shane waves at me, grinning like an idiot in a sweatshirt with sweat pants on. I grab at my chest in an attempt to calm my beating heart down.’

‘She pokes her lip out and waits for me to open the window.’

“Your so retarded.”

Shane:- “Not, i’m cold let me in.”

Alice:- “Hold on.” ‘I flip her off for scaring me first the open my window, my teeth chattering as the cold wind comes in along with the lanky boyish-girl I’ve known for years.’
