Her I go….Kinda mad that I got 1 one review and 53 hits! If only everyone would review!

…….

Mai laid on her bed and thought, Jeff was right. 'I did always say I'd be something but I never became anything. Maybe I should a stayed in high school. I probably should have done a lot of things and not do certain things. But it's too late to pick up my life. All I need to do is get out of here and go to home school or something. Maybe get a real job.

Mai sat up and looked at Sarah who had fallen asleep on her bed. She felt so bad for her. She got up and walked toward the drawer, the draw she opened it up and pulled out some waded up cash. She counted it out and found that she had saved up 1,678 dollars. She couldn't afford a house yet but maybe she could use this at an apartment complex. It could work as one month's rent and some food. At least it would do until the next month but she could just work harder for more money maybe get a second job. She went to put the money back in the drawer when she noticed 1.78 out of cents at the bottom of the drawer. She smiled; Sarah must have come in and put them in here. Mai went back to the bed and lied down. 'Maybe I'll take Sarah with me, get her into a school. Perhaps on the other side of Domino, but that will cost more money … I just can't leave yet.'

……..

Joey kept thinking about what happened the night before. He couldn't believe Mai was a prostitute that she lived in a place like that. He remembered the stench of the place she was staying at, that smell would never leave his mind, burned in there for eternity. 'Even if me and Mai don't get along so well I'm gonna help her.' He got out of his bed and began to get ready for school. HE didn't get much sleep that night. He walked out of his room and saw his dad awake in the kitchen. His heart raced, he hoped his father was in a good mood. He didn't want to deal with him now, in fact he never did but his dad thought differently. Joey walked into the bathroom and began his shower. He noticed his dad notice him, but his dad didn't do anything. So he thought he was home free.

Joey got dressed in the bathroom, he was ready to leave all he had to do is get to the door. Hoping his dad wasn't upset. He took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door. His father stood right there, like he was waiting for him that whole time.

"Good morning dad."

His dad hit him in the jaw; he knocked Joey against the wall. Joey's head smacked the wall really bad. For a second he lost his sight, but he could still hear his father voice.

"Why were you out so late boy?"

Joey finally regained sight and he looked at his father.

"My friend got in some trouble and I went to go see what was up."

"What did I tell you about starting fights boy!" his dad quickly knocked him back against the wall.

"I didn't start a fight, there wasn't a fight dad. I was just trying to make sure my friend was alright."

"Don't argue with me boy!" Joeys father punched him in his face again. Joey was starting to feel it now. No one hit him harder than his father. "Get to school boy I don't want to see your face."

Joey's dad left the room and Joey turned around to look in the mirror. His mouth was bleeding, his jaw was bruised, and his eye was swollen. 'There is no way I'm showing up for school looking like this.' It was rare that Joey wasn't at schoolhe practically had a perfect attendance. He would probably go to the park or something for the rest of the day.

……

Mai woke up and looked at the clock it was 8:50 a.m. It was still early and she was still tired but she didn't want to stay here today she wanted to do something, but thanks to Joey and his little friend, she didn't have enough money. 'I guess I'll go to the other side of Domino and see if there is anywhere cheap to live there, maybe a nice school to go to.'

She got out of her bed and put on some clean clothes. She was heading to the bathroom when she noticed something wrong; Sarah wasn't in the bed anymore. Mai did her hair thinking she was outside playing. She walked outside and didn't see her, she started freaking out maybe Jeff was still mad and did something to Sarah to get back at her. She turned around and screamed.

"Ha Ha …I scared you!"

"That wasn't funny, I thought you were gone."

"Do you want to go to the other side of domino with me. Maybe look at some places to live."

"Are you take me with you when you leave?"

"Yeah I'm gonna put you in a school too."

Sarah grinned.
