Little Treasure
Ch. 1
I sit on the bar counter top in the Benbow Inn, letting my feet dangle off the end. My eyes wonder around our house, everyone's eating the food that my mother cooked just this morning.
"Jenna," I hear mama say "you know the rules, no sitting to the counter." I grown and jump off. She walk over to me and pats me head gently "that's my curly top," I smile and shake my curly brown hair from side to side, which make mommy laugh. I wish mommy would laugh more often, I think as I watch her walk away.
"Speaking of witch," I hear say "how's Jim doing?"
"Much better," mommy answers "I know he had some rough spots earlier this year, but I really think that he's starting to turn a corner."
Suddenly the front door fly's open. Standing at the door way is my brother and two robot cops.
"Jim!" my mother says, dropping the plats she was holding.
I walk up to one of the cops and tap on his arm. "Excuse me?" he looks down at me.
"And who might you be?" he asks
"I'm Jenna Hawkins sir," The other on looks at me.
"Hey!" he says smiling "I know you! You're that little girl that sings on the street!"
I smile "yes sir I am."
Mommy comes up behind me and whispers in my ear, "Jenna, can you please go upstairs?"
I turn around to look at her, "ok mommy," and with that I go upstairs and in to my room. I shut the door behind me I wonder why those cops were with Jim. I ask myself. I run up to my door and push my ear agents it.
"Jim. Look at me." My mother says "its din heard enough keeping this place a flout be myself without you –"
"Mom, it's no big deal," Jim interrupts "there was nobody around, those cops just won't get off my –" there's a pause "never mind,"
"Jim, I just don't wanna see you throw away you entire future."
That's when I stop listening. Why do they always fight? I know Jim gets in trouble a lot, but its never his fault.
Like earlier this year, when me and Jim where walking down the street a gang of thugs attack us. They started hurting me, and Jim got real mad so he fought back, but Jim was the one who got caught. I tried to tell the cops that, but no one ever listens to a 6 year old girl.
