Hello, hello, I'm just pushing these chapters out, I'm sorry if you might be confuse with this book, but all the ending of each character's, will be known at the end of the book, mostly because, like skins, they always have a last episode where it focus on all the characters. Not just one of them, and that's one of the skins rules I'm sticking to. Thank you for reading this book. (and sorry if the chapters are to long)

Chapter 3: the girl, who has trouble fallowing her.

Jazzy has always, been close to her family, always having there back for anything, helping out any way she can. She didn't care, family is family. You respected your elders, and you always listen to your parents. That was the way she was raised. She had met her Cousin, Kelly & Max. when she was six, which was weird, to her because she thought she met all her cousins by that age. But it had seem that Kelly and Max was new to this country coming form Mexico, the first day they met, was rather the starting point for both of there friendship, because, on that day, they almost died.

That day when she was six, Jazzy and her father that she loved so much, had gone to the airport to pick up her cousin's, and her father uncle in a blue BMW van. When they got there they headed to the pick up area and waited in the car. Jazzy wonder how they would look like, how would they be, would they want to be there friends? Finally a man with a cowboy hat, came up to the window of her father side and yelled with joy "hola hermano!" (hello brother) but for some reason after he said that he looked around acting like as if something was about to pop out and get him, but then appeared two little kids same size as Jazzy she smile brightly and said "HOLA COUINS!" they said Hi back, they got in the Bmw van, but It all quickly happened so fast there was another man jumping into the car with them, a man that Jazzy father nor Jazzy had seen, not just any man, but the man had tattoos everywhere and scars on his hands, and eyes with fire and anger, Jazzy look at the man and then at her father wondering who the hell he is! Jazzy father turned quickly and yelled at his brother "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Jazzy uncle reply back with " lo siento hermano" ("im sorry brother") then the man with the tattoos took out a little hand gun and stuck it towards Jazzy head. It would appeared that, her uncle was very well known for gambling, and who owe a lot of money to very bad men. The man with the hand gun, order Jazzy father, to drive to the nearest ATM machine and to deposit what money Jazzy father had in the bank, and if it wasn't enough money to pay off the debt, he would kill them all. As Jazzy father pulled away form the airport, gun still on Jazzy head, any other kid might have cried, but Jazzy kept strong, because she knew her father would save her. Half way to ATM, Jazzy father did a risky thing and took a very long sharp turned and made a grabbed for the gun, he got the gun… but two bullets went off before he got it…. One ending up in the eye of the uncle, and the other ending up in his belly. The car could have flip over with the sharp turn, but it didn't. the car just hit to a stop which bang Jazzy cousins, into the seats. The gangster made a mad dash towards the gun, but before he could, Jazzy got it and before anyone knew what happened Jazzy made sure one bullet went inside the head of the man who shot her father and killed her uncle. Months before Jazzy had started learning how use guns, because of a haunting trip, she and her father were about to go on, if it hadn't been for that lesson, Jazzy, her cousins, and her father would be dead….

Of course the cousins didn't go back to Mexico, but only got adopted by Jazzy father and mother. Form there on Jazzy felt a kinda bond between Kelly and Max, almost like they shared a special moment, as silly as that may seemed, Kelly did felt connected with Jazzy too, that's way they always hang out together. Max didn't hang out with Jazzy or Kelly for some reason, maybe because he was a guy, and he needed to hang out with other guy's Jazzy thought. When Jazzy went in to the 7th grade she met Lana, she admired Lana, she felt like Lana was like her, because of Lana family, (of the drama they brought upon Lana) she thought it was somewhat like her own story. Lana didn't want trouble, and Jazzy didn't want trouble, she secretly thought that they could be sisters. Then she met Kelly's new friend Amber who she liked form the beginning for always being so nice. Finally 8th grade hit, and she met, Jake, she liked how he was always funny, and sweet and knew how to lighten the mood up. It was the very first gay guy she met! Then in the end of 8th grade year, also did her drama start, it all begun when Max, came up to her and told her what kind of trouble her cousin gotten himself into, Jazzy blood ran cold, it was like déjà vu, her cousin owed money, believe or not, a 8th grader decide to become a drug dealer but instead of selling the bag of weed, he didn't, he smoked it all.

Max was going threw a hard time, he was getting bad grades, he was failing every class, he tried so hard to do good in class but for some reason he couldn't, and he still was suffering form the trauma, of what had happened to him, and his own dad. His (and Kelly) mother died when they were 5, but then a year later, to have his father shot, this made him, quite, and made him not want to talk and made him not want try and make friends. Also how girls don't talk to him. He was wondering what is purpose was anymore, and who he was, feeling down, sad, and depress, he was just walking to class when a normal looking kid, a sophomore, came up to him and said "420" knowing noting about it he just looked at the guy, and said "what?" and the guy had walked away, in his next class, Max was in English, when he asked the boy he sat next to "what's 420?' the boy looked at him questioning, wondering if he was serious, the boy gave Max a simple replay "weed….dumbass" Max eyes, grew bigger with shock, he thought how could someone be so bold and go around selling drugs like that, and he also never had drugs so it was a big deal, to think that guy thought he done drugs, that made Max wonder with excitement. The next day, he saw the same guy, he didn't know exactly what to do, but this time when the guy came around, Max grab his twenty dollar bill , and simple raise it in the air, and yelled at the guy "420" the guy took notice quickly and looked at max as if he gone mad, the guy went right over took Max's twenty, then told him if he ever done that again he will hit him so hard! Then finally when less people weren't looking he simple and quietly put a joint in Max hand. When he got home that day, he was home alone, Jazzy & Kelly, still at friends house and Jazzy parents still at work, he didn't have a lighter, so he walked over to the stove and turn it on low very slowly and careful he put the joint toward the burning fire, and then took his first puff, he cough so hard that was afraid to take another hit, but he took another one, and another one, soon he got into it, puffing and blowing, smoke. He felt good, he felt happy, he felt like he was someone, then the next day, and the day form there on out, he bought more and more, in till he ran out of money. He needed that high again, he needed that drug, so when he saw his dealer, he ask if he could become a dealer too, to get some money, the sophomore said " you think you could really handle this little boy?" Max looked him straight in the eye and said " hell yeah" so the sophomore gave him some, and said "if you don't bring me the amount of money ill have to call his suppler, and he wont be happy with that, and he will break your bone's kid" but instead of selling any of it he smoked it, thinking he could pay back for whatever he smoked, half the bag or something, but nope he smoked it all and now running to Jazzy for help, Jazzy being the tough person she is, said she would helped, she went to the dealer, who gave Max the drugs, said "give me three half of ounces of weed" the dealer said "who the fuck are you?" she look at the dealer "bitch I'm a person who needs money" the dealer looked amused by Jazzy answer and gave the ok, and handle her the large amount she had to sold, now instead of doing something stupid like selling a bag, of weed at school, she was going to do it at some of the hot spots, Jazzy sling drugs before, but not this much amount, it was scary and she had to move it fast to before her and Max time was up for the money they owe. She wonder why she was doing this, maybe to have it not end up like last… she didn't want to loose her cousin, she knew he was a good kid. She wish she could call Lana.. But she has her trouble with her new boyfriend… maybe Amber? No.. she's been acting wired… Kelly hasn't talked to Jazzy either for some reason, she didn't want to tell Kelly about Max, this would hurt her so badly…. Jack?… He has been distance like the rest of us…. So as the night gone on and on, Jazzy stayed in the cold night selling bag, after bag, hoping with the money she makes, she could pay for Max's debt. Come morning she made enough money… as she heads off to school happy with herself, she gets to school and hands the money to Max, Max looks at and looks at it, and start crying…. "thank you… thank you.. Im sorry, I'm so sorry cousin"…. they hugged and then went to class…. It was 2 days, till school was over, Jazzy was sitting in class, when out of nowhere "Midwest high" security came over in the classroom went right to Jazzy and said, "I'm sorry miss, but please come with us, I think your going to have to, bring your stuff too" Jazzy wonder what the hell is going on, as she walks into the office she sees, Kelly her cousin and some officers, the minuet the officers spotted her she got hand cuffed, Jazzy look's at Kelly who had tears in her face, Kelly says to Jazzy "im sorry but im not letting you go down this road, jazzy! You aren't going to do this to your mom and dad! I love you, but I want you to get help! that's why I told police station about your dealing"…... Jazzy wanted to yell, yell so loudly at her, at this girl who she called "cousin" how could she do this? How? But instead, for right now, Jazzy must think about her life…

She must think about what's going to happen to it…
