I guess it all started when it was only my mother who was getting abused all the time. I hated my father for it. Anyway, I was sent to live with my aunt along with Carmen. I was very angery that I couldn't go and try to protect my mother who was living 100s of miles away. I'd yell at my aunt for staying up late to wait for me whe n I didn't show up on time. Then when I got into 4th grade I met 4 other kids with the same background I came from and we started a gang. Every other kid in that gang had a gun or a knife- except me. I was really mean to Carmen too. She'd ask me stuff and I'd say,"Would you just leave me alone! I hate you!" and stuff like that. So one day when I was about twelve or thirteen my parents show up and the first thing I see is my mom standing in the doorway telling Carmen to run away right now. But I didn't care, it was my mom! She'd left dad and come back for me! I ran to the doorway and the next thing I knew there was a loud bang and I was hit in the shoulder with something small but painful- a bullet. *Pauses and looked away*
