i came back home years later to get REVENGE

it was a cold night and I shivered I felt so trapped and helpless my parents are terrible people they are monsters how can such a terrible thing happen to us when I was younger I already knew that my dad had a problem my mom did too he spent a lot of time with his friends playing cards my mom on the other hand started with a glass of wine during dinner as the years went by they both got so much worse she started to go out every night as well most of the time then left us alone in the house they got into frequent fights always yelling and breaking things so when I turned 15 our nice house had already turned into a dump most of our furniture was destroyed from their fights and my mom wasn't interested in us anymore she was just interested in the drink in her hand one night my two younger sisters and I had to share just one cup of noodles that was all we had there was nothing but cold water and beer inside our refrigerator do we have anymore asiye my younger sister Katie asked she just turned nine it broke my heart to see her asking for food this is what we have snapped Alex she's 13 years old just a few years younger than me but she's tough she's beginning to realize that our lives are horrible I am sixteen now and most of the time I am left behind to take care of my two sisters I don't think that my parents even remember that they have children I'm the one who has to clean our small and dingy house I have to be the one who makes sure that there's a little money to use to buy food I'm not even legally an adult but I have to play the role of mother and father do your parents make you feel terrible sometimes to keep on watching so you can understand what's really going on click the like a subscribe button too my sisters and I stay at home most of the time because going out means spending money we don't have that we miss out on school a lot usually after they fall asleep I have to sneak into their bedroom very quietly I searched the place for money with whatever money I find I have to budget it to buy what we need most of it goes to food but for the past few weeks I find less and less I tried to go to sleep that night but I could it I was tossing and turning feeling the rumble of my hungry belly I had to find a way to get more money I didn't want to do anything bad but I had no choice so the next day I left the house early I wandered the streets I saw that the bakery was open the smell coming from his side was wonderful I pressed my face against the glass and I watched the make bread when Baker saw me he yelled hey go away you're smashing the glass with your dirty hands I pulled away from the window my hands weren't dirty I just wanted to take a look but after I turned to walk away I heard the door open a woman came out carrying a paper bag she smiled and handed it to me it was full of bread I clutched the bag against my chest and ran home I woke Katie and Alex up we had a feast in a room it was wonderful we had never tasted anything that's good Katie was shoving right into her mouth Alex even begin to cuff because she was eating too fast we were giggling and laughing I only hate two small pieces of the bread it was enough for me to see that my sisters were finally eating but then we heard noise coming from my parents room somebody there was waking up and walking to our room the door burst open why are you making so much noise so early in the morning it was my dad I tried to hide the paper bag with bread but he saw it anyway who was this he asked he got the paper bag from my hands and he pulled out a piece mmm it's good he added this is a nice breakfast then he walked out the door with the food Daddy Katie cried that's ours we didn't get to eat a real dinner last night things started to get even worse from that day on my dad had to sell his car none of that money reached us he even tried to take away some of my mom's jewelry they had a huge fight about that my sisters and I stayed in her room feeling terrified from the noise they were making the next day when I looked around the house was a mess and a lot of things were broken my parents were nowhere to be found there was no money to be found in their bedroom I had no choice now but to go out and find something we could eat I put on my shoes and I went out to the busy street there was a lot of people walking to their office that morning it was a crowded sidewalk then I saw a woman who was busy talking on her phone she was holding a phone with one hand and a cup of coffee with the other her handbag was swaying and hanging over her shoulder as quick as a flash I ran and grabbed the handbag the hot coffee spilled on my arm but I didn't care I ran away as fast as I could until the sounds of the woman shouting drifted away some people tried to grab me to stop me but I twisted away from them I ran in a zigzag and jumped over some trash cans in an alley with my heart pounding in my chest I realized that I just became a thief I hid and waited for a long time in that alley finally I opened the bag there were keys and a wallet in there the wallet had a few hundred dollars inside yes I screamed this was going to be enough but someone hurt me it was an older kid he looked like he was going to take the money away hey kid he said what's that on your hand I froze and I was ready to fight nobody was going to take the money away from me but the boy held out his hands he told me to relax he said that he wasn't going to steal from a thief he just said that he wanted to look at the bag in the wallet he came close and examined it nice he said with a little whistle we can get a lot of money for this he showed me the label of the bag he said it was an authentic designer piece he held out his hand and said that his name was Raymond if you really need the money you can work for me I like you you're fast so that's when I became a pickpocket with Raymond's help I was able to make more money we watch the people pass on the street and he would point out the ones I could steal from as payment I gave him half of what I got I also gave him the bag from the wallet of the people I stole from he bought those from me for $10 each I knew those bags cost so much more but I was grateful for the extra cash after a while it didn't matter if the wallets had tens or hundred I had enough to buy food one stolen while a week was enough but after a while Raymond wasn't very excited with our setup anymore he wanted a bigger payout he asked me if I wanted to be a part of their gang they were pulling a big job in a few days they were going to steal some electronics those TVs phones and tablets are going to be worth so much more Raymond said to encourage me he said that I was going to make a few months worth of money if I joined them in this single project it sounded exciting I did have to steal for a few months so I agreed raymond filled me in on the plan he and his friends had all the codes for the electronic store he said they could open the door easily but we had to smash the glass cases to get to the goods he handed me a small crowbar that I could use my job was to get all the templates on display and shove them in my backpack we waited until past midnight then along with Raymond and two other guys we walked to the store it had an electronic lock where a man just punched some numbers and a green light blinked from the lock panel we were in I was feeling very scared when we walked in what if someone was inside don't chicken out on me now Raymond hissed just remember your job so with a deafening crash we began to break the display cases remain kept shouting for us to hurry up I grabbed all the tablets I could find soon my bag was full all right Raymond yelled again let's get out of here we ran back into the streets but soon we heard sirens Raymond cursed he said that the display cases probably had alarms too our feet were pounding on the pavement as they ran away but pretty soon there were cops running after us too a police car came and blocked her path the cops pointed at guns ass stop they shouted we've caught you red-handed we raised her hands over our heads and the police shoved us down to the ground they put handcuffs on me and they dragged me to the car within an hour we were locked up in jail I started to cry myself I thought about my sisters who was going to take care of them now the next day a woman in glasses came she said that her name was Pam and she was a social worker she wanted to talk because I was still a minor she wanted to know why I was stealing I broke down and told her that I was only doing this to take care of my sisters I told her everything that was happening in my house I told her that my parents didn't care about us and that they didn't even feed us she said she was going to get my sisters and take them in her custody but I had to stay in juvenile detention my crime was too much was just a slap on the wrist I was being charged with robbery and theft I had an awful time in jail there were other kids there who hurt me because I was thinner and smaller than them I spent most of my time just trying to get out of their way when they told me that I could new school while in juvenile detention I jumped at the chance finally I could go to school without being worried about what was going on at home I thought about my sisters a lot I thought about my parents and I felt so much hate coursing through my veins if they just did the responsibility as parents I wouldn't be stuck in jail this was all their fault I wasn't responsible for putting food on the table I was already in jail for a few years when I decided to sue them I wanted to sue them for giving birth to me somehow I managed to call Pam I told her my plants she thought it was a good idea she came back a few days later and a lawyer was with her together we made my case by this time I didn't care anymore if there was no money to be one of the case I just wanted my parents to be punished finally it was time to face them before a judge the courtroom was packed there were photographers and reporters everywhere I ran to my sisters when I saw them beside Pam Katie looked thinner but Alex was smiling we hugged each other and I asked if they had enough to eat we're okay Sam Alex told me Pam made sure that we're in a nice foster home and we're together but we want to be with you we want to live with you that's what I wanted to I just wanted to go home and be with my sisters I could take care of them the courtroom buzzed when my parents came in my mom and dad looked so ashamed well they should be they couldn't even look at us the judge made on the gavel and asked us to be quiet then he read the charges against my parents how do you plead he asked them guilty they whispered when it was time for my sister's to go up on the stand my mother was already crying uncontrollably I was the last one to speak on the stand when they asked me why I was in juvenile jail I answered them with a loud and strong voice there was no other way to feed me and my sisters I was too young to work so I just decided to steal I didn't want to do it but I had to my Paris barely noticed that we were there we barely had enough to eat do you know how terrible it feels to go to sleep without eating anything that day Alex Katie and I I liked that most of the time we can't even afford new clothes our old clothes are turning into rags we had to scrimp on everything even on soap and all that time our parents didn't notice that they were practically starving us to death or worse de saucé but they just didn't care it seemed like they were irritated to find us at home I was already crying by then even my dad's face was drenched in tears I continued my story sometimes I wish I had never been born but then I think about my sisters I have to face this world just for them it was deathly quiet in the room when the judge finally spoke he said your house is not a place where children are cared for because of this I sentenced the mother and the father to 10 years in prison system Mantha is already 18 she can get custody of her two sisters provided that she could work and earn honest money the charges against Samantha are dropped she can leave the detention centre without a record they led my parents away I thought I would feel triumphant but I only felt sad I wish I didn't have to come to this but that feeling suddenly changed but my sisters ran up to hug me I was free now I was also a high school graduate I could go to work and take care of Katie and Alex so we moved back to our house with the help of Pam we were able to fix it up and get a lot of secondhand furniture to replace all the stuff that my dad had to sell that night the three of us sat down for dinner for the first time in ages there was enough food on the table Alex raised her glass full of orange juice she said to new beginnings I never thought I would feel so empowered and strong maybe someday we could find it in our hearts to forgive our parents but not yet the wounds that gave us are still too fresh but with my sisters living with me again I felt hope I knew we were going to be just fine
