WARNING: CHAPTERS CONTAIN MILD LANGUAGE

Kim's POV

I was inside a social worker's car because I was finally being adopted. My older sister, Emily, is 25 and now is adopting me. Our parents died when I was 12 and she was 20. She wasn't financially able to afford another mouth in her house instead of herself so she let them take me away. She let them rip our family apart. I never forgave her but she's slowly building up my trust for her one step at a time. It was raining heavily outside and I sat in the car with my hoodie on covering most of my face.

I only had a small duffel bag full of the clothes that were donated to my former orphanage and the workers gave them to me. I was the oldest one at the orphanage, being 17 years old. I was there for 5 years and my sister only lived half an hour away. She didn't even try to visit me which personally doesn't shock me. She ripped our family apart, we're the only ones left in the Crawford family. Our grandparents are dead, our parents didn't have any siblings, our parents died 5 years ago, and there's no way anyone else in the family is alive, so that just leaves me and Emily.

School was about to start and instead of going to our orphanage's school for orphans I was going to a real school. I was hoping that they had a basketball court or at least a hoop at the school or maybe just around the neighborhood. My sister lived in a bad neighborhood because that was the only place she could afford. It's actually better than I expected on the outside, but there's probably a whole different story inside. Back to my love for basketball. It was the only way that I could express myself. Shooting that ball in to the hoop with as much force as possible felt like it was lifting away all my bad feelings and memories. Doing a lay-up was meaning that I was chill and calm and just wanted a work out. Dribbling makes me focused so that all I think about is not letting the ball get away. I loved basketball , I've only played solo but once there was an orphanage basketball game when I was 14, but that was 3 years ago. My best position is point guard, but I can play pretty much almost any position there is.

I was startled out of thought when I heard the door open and I saw, Anna, the social worker. She has blonde hair and eyes so dark they could be black. "Out, Kimberly" She ordered. I took my duffel bag and got out of the car. I was going up the stairs to the front door when I see a familiar face. It was Emily. I hadn't seen her in 5 years ever since the death of our parents. It was a really horrible incident but you can't change the past. She had weary tired eyes but they still had a slight shine in those hazel eyes. Her hair was put in a messy pony tail but still looked golden just like my hair. Emily opened the front door and gestured for us to come in. "Did you already sign the forms?" Anna asked Emily. Emily nodded. There was a look in her hazel eyes that just screamed "Get this lady outta here!" because I could tell she wasn't very fond of Anna.

Anna finally left and Emily and I sat down on the couch. It was an awkward silence but she finally broke the silence after a few minutes. "So… You look good." She said to me. I smiled "Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself." She chuckled and got up. "I'm ordering Chinese food. Do you want anything?" I nodded "Yeah pork fried rice with the orange chicken." She nodded and took out her cell phone "Hey Mai! Yep I want the usual plus pork fried rice and orange chicken. All right see you soon thanks!" She hung up after that and left the room.

I sat there twiddling my thumbs feeling awkward as hell. Then I heard her footsteps and looked up. She had a box in her hands and she held the box out to me. "This is for you." She said simply and casually. I took it from her and opened it. It was a cell phone. I'm guessing there was a big smile on my face because Emily started laughing and not long after I started laughing too. The laughter died down and I said 'Em, thanks so much. I've never had a cell phone before." She smiled and I started reading the starter booklet. The phone was a Samsung Exhibit II and it was really easy to use!

"Ummm… Emily?" I said awkwardly. "Yeah?" She said. "Where do I put my bag?" I asked, twiddling my thumbs again nervously. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Come here, follow me." She said and started walking. She led me through a corridor and we stopped right in front of a white door. She opened it and there was a mattress with sheets folded on it. "This is your room. My room is the one next to the kitchen. I'll leave you to be settled in here and I'll call you when the Chinese comes." With that she walked out of my room.

I walked to another door in the room and opened it. It had shelves which I'm assuming was for my clothes. I only had a few pair of sweatpants, a few pairs of jeans, and a lot of crop tops(A/N search step up 2 on google and theres a girl wearing a red crop top. Those are like Kim's crop tops but in different colors.) Of course I had underwear and bras but the thought of them being donated grossed me out but I'm not going anywhere underwear-less or braless I find that even more disgusting. I unzipped my bag and slowly started putting my clothes away. At the bottom of the bag was the basketball my parents gave me for my 12th birthday. The last birthday I had with them. I always kept it pumped up so that it was hard as a rock every time I played. It was the only thing that kept me connected to my parents. It was the only thing that hadn't been taken away from me ever since their death.

I jumped when I heard the doorbell. Out of reflexes of what happened at the orphanage I got in a fighting stance, even though no one was even in the room. I heard the front door open and my sister yelling "Mai!" I walked out of the door, through the corridor and was back in the living room. "Em?" I called and then I heard footsteps and my sister popped her head through the doorway 'In the kitchen. The food's here." I followed her in to the kitchen and there was a middle-aged looking woman sitting at the table with 2 bags in her hands. Her eyes were almond shaped and she had on a uniform that had Chinese writing on it. "Hello. I am Mai." She said with a little bit of an accent. "Hey, I'm Kim" I introduced myself to her and gave her a small smile. "Well, let's dig in!" said Emily with excitement in her voice.

We finally finished the Chinese food and out of habit I went to get my basketball. I was about to walk out the door when I remembered that I'm not even close to the orphanage anymore. Where is there even supposed to be a basketball court in a place like this. I sighed and turned around only to be face-to-face with my sister. "Around the corner and across the street." She said to me. "What?" I asked. "Around the corner and across the street is an abandoned basketball court, it hasn't been used in who knows how long. Go, I know how you feel about basketball." I smiled and ran out the door.

Around the corner. Across the street. There it was the perfect basket ball court. I opened the fence with little effort. It was really run down but it was exactly what I needed. I looked around and there were flat basketballs everywhere. They were also really dusty which means it hasn't been used in years. I smiled sympathetically to myself. I finally started dribbling the ball. The world being tuned out all my focus on the ball. I was dribbling in place but then I started moving forward. First just simply walking then a jog then a run and finally a full on sprint. I dribbled to the three pointer line and shot the ball going smoothly in through the hoop.

Then I heard a ringing. I looked around confused and then I remember my phone. "Oh shit!" I said to myself as I looked at the time, way after midnight. I didn't know the number but it was probably Emily. "Hello?" I answered my phone. "You gotta come home now! Kim now!" She yelled through the phone. Her voice wasn't angry it was scared and worried. I ran home as fast as I could, I burst through the door and frantically look around for Emily. "Oh my gosh, Kim!" She says and tackles me in a hug. I'm thrown off guard for a second but I hug back not knowing why. "You can never, ever be out after midnight in this neighborhood! You don't wanna know what happens during the nighttime here!" I nodded meaning that I understood. She was looking out for me and as I said before gaining back my trust one step at a time.

Jack's POV

My mom was working late again which meant that I had to take care of my 2 year old brother Jacob, Jake for short. He wasn't sleeping and asked to sleep with me. I said yes but then he started crying and I had to rock him for 20 minutes. I put him back in my bed as he was already half asleep and went to get my phone in the kitchen. I tried to use it but it wouldn't turn on. I went back to my room and put it on the charger. I almost fell asleep when I heard the front door open. I got up and checked to see if it was my mom. It was her but her image surprised me. She looked tired as always but instead of her uniform being white there were hand marks on the butt of the uniform. She worked at a bar but this never happened before. "Mom did something happen at the bar?" I asked knowing that something sure as hell happened at the bar. She nodded and sighed "One guy had one too many ribs and way too many drinks. He tried making a move on me and grabbed my ass. I'm fine, honestly Jack this happened to all the girls at the bar. I'm against it because we women aren't toys but it happens and we can't do anything about it. " I sighed and gave my mom a kiss on the cheek before going back to bed.

I covered Jake up in blankets before I went in my bed with him and as soon as my head hit my pillow I fell asleep. The next morning I got up to make Jake's baby cereal. I checked if my mom had left for work and she had. I sighed because the only time I see her is when she tries to be happy but she's at her worst. I miss hanging out with my mom like the old times but those times aren't coming back anytime soon.

My phone started ringing in my room and I ran to my room hoping that it wouldn't wake Jake up. Thankfully it didn't I had gotten a text from Jerry. (Jerry italics and Jack BOLD)

Yo man I got some bad news

?

They're gonna close down our court

WTF Y!

Some parents found some weed meth there n told some important dude

Dude where the hell are we gonna play now

Idk imma tell Eddie n Milton now bye bro

Ard bye

How could my life get any worse? My mom's being sexually harassed at her job, my brother is going through the terrible two's stage, we're behind on payments, and to top it all off my favorite basketball court is being closed down. It was the only way me and my friends could express ourselves and our feelings without getting all mushy gushy. Jerry's life is screwed up even more than mine, Eddie's parents only care about his sister who's 18, and Milton his dad treats him like a baby and his mom does too. Even though he has a rich girlfriend (Julie) his life is still screwed up just like Jerry's, Eddie's and mine. Then there's our rivals. They call themselves "The Black Dragons" They're rich and snotty and only care about winning. Why would they want to waste their time trying to beat us? Easy question, because we are the only team that isn't afraid to fight back and win.

What do you think? Love it? Hate it? Sorry that Jack's POV is way shorter than Kim's! Tell me what you think if no one likes it I guess I'll stop writing, if some people like it I'll keep writing. Review or PM me if you have any ideas thanks bye!
