Running footsteps, panting from Jamal out of breath running away from gang.

Gang chasing and shouting at Jamal using threatening language.

Who da thought, I didn’t even make it to my 18th birthday..

I had so much ahead of me.. well that’s what my mum would say.

If only she knew what I was really like..

*flash backs to past*

Come to think of it now it was inevitable really that I was gonna end up like this, but this aint how I wanted it to end up, this aint what I wanted at all.
