It was just four years ago. Four horrible years ago my mother re-married. My father, oh how I loved him dearly, was shot to death while patrolling a gang filled neighborhood. My mother has always been a horrible woman. I am ashamed to come from her womb. She never loved my father. She only married him for his money.

HE was going to take care of me this time and I was scared to know what that meant.
