Diana and john because I don’t want you taking care of them” and she said “Jordan I need to” and I said “I mean how long can I hide I mean I’m wanted over in new York and now there looking for me here in jersey what’s next I’m going to California and im gonna get caught there too” and she said “Jordan someone is on the phone” and I answered it “Hello Jordan speaking” and some girl said “look you should turn yourself in and see what the judge says and maybe give him an explanation of what happened” and I said “who is this” and she said “let’s just say I’m a friend” and I said “I don’t trust you how do you know I’m not gonna stay in jail forever and never come out and I never been to jail for more than a day and I was lucky I didn’t get raped” and she said “ok Jordan calm down you can trust me because once your brother Jason called me I said what is going on and he said my sister needs help she has a criminal record in new York and now she has one here in jersey and I just want to get her a good lawyer to get her out of all this bs and I said ok well give me her number and I’ll call her myself and I’ll invite her to dinner and we can talk so now I just want to make things easier for you Jordan I don’t want you to get hurt or thrown into jail ok I really don’t” and I said “how soon can we meet up” and she said “I’ll go to your house right now and we can talk things over ok I’ll take you some dinner” and I said “ok thanks”.

The girl showed up at my doorstep and I opened the door and said “come in” and she said “thank you wow you have a lovely home” and I said “why don’t we sit down and discuss the things that are wrong with me” and she said “nothing’s wrong with you Jordan I just want to know what happened over the years so I can help you” and I said “well it all started when I was born” and she said “ok go ahead” and I said “when my parents had me it was the best day of my life but then when we drove to Brooklyn, New York because there was house there and my mom and dad didn’t want kids so the next thing I knew I was in the foster home and I hated the foster home mainly because my foster parents Diana and john would beat to sleep, they would, beat if I was hungry or tired and I remember when Diana told me when I was around 2 years old and she said Jordan do you know that you will never ever be smart and you will die just not today and that I wasn’t important and I know it’s hard to hear because I was at such a young age but they didn’t care I seen Diana kill 2 kids right in front of me one of them was my closest friend and she killed her because she didn’t show up on time for dinner and the girl was only 1 second late and she killed her and the other one was 5 and he didn’t do anything, he was just a quiet kid and she killed him for not taking out the trash and when I turned 3 she (started to cry) tried to kill me when I was asleep and when I woke up she backed off and said go back to sleep and I was scared because I thought I was going to die. After a while she left me alone and when I started learning how to walk and talk and fight I packed my stuff and I left because I knew if I stood there longer I would not make it out”. She said “that’s sad Jordan how come you didn’t go to the police then” and I said “because if I went to police she would kill me, she would break out of prison and kill me and john wasn’t bad but he still will kill me too and after 4 years I went back because I felt that I needed to go back because I needed shelter but then again I had shelter I just needed money but a little girl in a big city trying to find life somewhere but when I got back from my little trip I found it” and she said “found what?” and I said “family, I found family, my little brother and sister were my family and when I see them with my parents all I was thinking was why do they have kids and put them here I mean there’s better places but I know this sounds stupid but I’m glad that I went back because if I haven’t gone back I wouldn’t have seen them my brother and sister”.

“ok know can you skip to what happened at the party” she said and I said “do you want to know how I got here or not” and she said “continue” and I said “anyways when I see my sister she was wearing a blue striped dress and white shoes and my brother was wearing a black shirt with dark blue pants and white shoes and I was happy when they said that they wanted their big sister Jordan that made me feel good that I was finally part of a family and after a while about 5 years later”. She said “I’m sorry this a depressing story, I just want to know what at the party” and I looked at her and said “oh it is but what I’m telling you is true about what happened at the party is true, well simple I went to a party with my friend Daniel and he seen a guy that he liked and they made out I partied for a little while and then I got tired to where I wanted to go home and when I went to the car he was being very friendly with the guy so I walked home and its 30 minute drive home and its like a 6 hour walk home and it was dark and there was guys honking at me saying hey baby you can ride me any day and I kept telling them to leave me alone and one guy Danny Garcia he drove up to me and said hey baby you need a ride and I said fuck off bro and he said come on I know you want this and so I walked a little faster and he still kept following me and then he finally told his friend to go get me and I ran once I heard a car door open and I ran but the guy caught me and I couldn’t move because the guy covered my mouth because I was kicking and screaming then I finally knocked out and then when I woke up I was tied up in a chair and I had duct tape on my mouth and I see Danny come up to me I got freaked out and he ripped the duct tape off my mouth and I said ah and I told him to let me go and he said no I don’t think so and he told the people that were in the room to leave us alone and I told him what did he want with me and he said that he wanted sex from me, he gave me a drink that made me knock out and I didn’t drink I made him think that I drank it and when I was knocked out I said I want to and I didn’t finish the sentence and he unlocked me and I got a bat and knocked him out for like a minute and he hit me with a lamp and started touching me and I slapped him, found a gun, pointed it to him and he said give me the gun Jordan and before he said anything else I shot him and the people in the other room heard the gunshot and I shot them too because they were coming towards me and I needed to protect myself, I left but then I see the realtor and I remember Danny saying that was his buddy so I shot him too and I took off with a 2011 Honda but I knew the cops were going to find out about the stolen car so I just ditched the car and ran home and that’s it” and she said “you could have just ran away from Danny”. I said “he works for Diana so If I ran he would catch me and he knew where I lived” and she said “ok I’ll make some calls and see what I can do” and I said “wait that’s it you’re not going to help me” and she said “I’ll call you tomorrow and we’ll discuss it” and I said “but that’s what we are doing right now” and she said “tomorrow”.

Chapter 14: I'm going to court

A few days later I was in court with the best lawyer in the state and I kept saying that I hope I can get out of this and I failed I ended up going to jail for 6 months and it was hell because the girl that was in my cell kept beating me up every morning and I was like hey this feels just like but just worse. The food was disgusting I threw it back and I hated it, Mrs. Johnson kept coming to visit me because she didn’t want me to suffer but it was too late I was suffering, the kids were too she told me and she also told me that the officer told her that I had to stay an extra 2 months for what happened in new York and I was like great I missing Leslie’s birthday for this shit and I was so frustrated I wanted to see the kids and I wanted to tell them everything was going to be ok but what do you expect when you have people coming after you and the best thing you can do is to kill them and I learned from my mistakes. “Mrs. Sanchez you have a visitor” the officer said, I walked out and they escorted me to the phone and I see the person sitting there and I told the officer I didn’t know her and he said that it was great grandma and I sat down and I picked up the phone and said “hey grandma Maggie” and she said “hey sweetie look at you all grown up, your sister and brother told me that you were in here and I said for what and they said because she ran away, she killed 6 people, and she stole a car”. I said “look grandma a lot has happened to me over the years that you don’t
