BENJAMIN

My Name is Benjamin Tucker, and I'm an older brother, I'm 18 years old and I have two younger siblings which are twins, there names are Tiana Tucker and Toni-ann Tucker, but we just call them Tina and Tony.

You see, I live in a community where everyone has to fend for their selves to survive, the strong bullies the weak and in order for the weak survive they had to get stronger or have connections with wealthy people.

It's hard to make friends when you trust no one and the same goes for them and everyone is trying to survive mainly because they have families who needs them, supports and loves them.

Just like your's Truly,

I have to take care of my younger siblings alone because our mother died after giving birth to the twins, and our father was devastated so he would go out early and of course that had caused me to get a part-time job, but it was hard keeping a job since I'm the only one taking care of the twins and our dad would come back in the middle of the night drunk and stink of booze

Alcohol

...

sometimes he would lock himself up in his room and cry, and I hear everytime and whenever I hear I would cry as well because our dad.... he's a strong person, and the only person other than me and the twins is only our...

mother only she can make him drop his guard and break down the walls he's build around himself,...

you know without knowing what he's going through makes me angry, upset and sad because I can't make his pain go away and I know she will not come back to us.

SAD

I also notice that the twins they also cry sometimes, they were young when she passed away so I took upon my self to tell about the strong,brave, loving, caring and courageous mother they had so they couldn't help but also cry, and I don't like when they cry it make me feel guilty, so whenever they would cry I would rush in to hug them, and tell them

"you are not alone me and dad will always be here for both of you and both of you will grow up to be independent, loving, nice and caring adults just like mom and dad even better, and you will always be loved by all of us " SAID BENJAMIN

Then I would tuck them into there beds and watch over them as the fall asleep then I would kiss them on there forehead's then quietly leave so I don't wake them up.

My Aunts are going to pick up me and the twins 2 weeks from now

I'm gonna tell father.

sometimes our aunts Jodi-ann parker and Louise Parker on our mother would come and visit us, and that's how we got food most of the time sometimes I would provide food with the money I earned form my part-time jobs, yeah! I had more than one part-time jobs and If I wanted to make serious money I would have let someone take care of the twins but I wanted to take care of them instead, it's the least I could after all we've been through...

we would sometimes sleep over at our aunts house and they didn't mind at all because they know the kind of situation we were in so they weren't upset nor annoyed.

And for some weird reason my dad and aunts can't seem to get along

especially when they've come to pick us up to take us back with them, back to there home to stay with them for the weekend..

but I was a bit hesitant because I didn't want to leave my dad all alone in the house because sometimes the house can feel a bit lonely I think that is one of the reasons why I wanted to go with my aunt's,

without mom in that house, it's so lonely.

UNHAPPY

you know it's hard being the only breadwinner in this family,

Benjamin *sigh's*

I mean sure sometimes my dad may put food on the table, yeah! but... that's when he's not distracted by something or someones' *mhmm OR not busy talking to his friends I know it's not fair to him that he has to put up with mom's death, but we also feel sad too but you know what that doesn't mean that I show stop living my life

NO!

that just shows me that life is short and that we mustn't waste not even a single second, for we don't know what might happen next,

BOASTFUL

you know! what this is what I'm gonna say to dad!....*CONFIDENT*

when he comes back...
