New York 3am the rain was pouring down,

Marcus was in the kitchen cutting cocain getting it ready for dealing, see Marcus came from a broken home his father is in jail for life his mom's over dosed on tablets and died, Marcus only trusts his home boy Jay, they have been down there hole life's there like brothers, (phone rings)

Marcus :yo what's up homie

Jay:yeah I do get money move outa the hood I'm with yo bro just worried bout you boy

Marcus:yo Jay I'm cool bro ill talk to your dumb ass tomorrow homie peace

Jay:so it's like that Ahite homie peace

See Marcus knew sooner or later drug dealing would catch up with him, he was trying to get out of dealing and get away from the hood,all Marcus ever wanted was a better life, but wasn't as easy as just leaving, Marcus was dealing for a drug lord no one knew his real name only knew him as Ghost, once you start dealing for Ghost the only way out is death Marcus knew he couldn't tell any one he was planning on leaving Ghost had half the cops on his pay roll,Marcus felt trapped in a world he wanted no part off, (phone rings)

Ghost:hey yo Marcus I got a job for you

Marcus :more drugs?

Ghost:I need you to take someone out who owes me twenty Gs

Marcus:I ain't no killer men

Ghost:Marcus I wasn't asking I'm telling you

Marcus:men fuck that bullshit

Ghost:it's you or him

The phone went dead ghost had hung up, Marcus started to get uneasy with the idea of killing someone just cause he owes Ghost money, Marcus went to his attic door lifted it put his hand in and pulled his gun out, he couldn't stop looking at the gun kept thinking over and over what he had to do, see Marcus was no killer, he took the clip out of the gun put one bullet in snapped it back in the gun looked in the mirror pointed the gun to his head with an un easy voice said '' God why give me a life I hate, if your real please give me a sign things are gonna get better cause I have had enough I'm bout to pop myself in the head''Marcus then closed his eyes and his breathing got really heavy he was in deep thought for five minutes then as he was just about to pull the trigger his door knocked he put the gun down opened the door he couldn't believe his eyes Marcus fell to his knees and cryd it was his child hood girl friend Kesha he hasn't seen in 15 years, kesha helped Marcus up helped him into the living room soon came to realise he was just about to kill himself, Marcus told kesha everything he knew he could trust her after he had finished xplainin the situation kesha hugged him and with a tear in her eye she said,

(Marcus your gonna get threw this you have been a strong person your hole life your gonna find a way I know you will I'm gonna be here for you)

Marcus:what about your boyfriend

Kesha:things didn't work out I came back for you

Marcus:I have all ways loved you

Hester: Very good, was short too the point , not lingering on the abuse, pity you didn’t let him step in earlier knowing the abuse was happening, but this is almost real for some women who have gone through it, just wish they could all have a princess at te end of thete tunnel

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
