“I’ll call u when i make it to the North babe...yes it’s gonna be a couple of hours maybe... like 12 hours away from the border right now but if i make it to the hotel i could maybe it by tomorrow at 11:30 ….alright i love you too...okay...bye.”

They make it after a long trip and they meet up with the guy and they have to travel a little more to get to his farm where he holds his drug cartel. Nya only knows so much until they arrive at their destination.    Life was a struggle. Moving from house to house it almost felt as if no matter where i went it was never a permanent “Home” for me.

“Rent is due by the 12th if you can’t pay By Then I’ll Have To Kick You Out, I’m Sorry..”
said the owner of the apartment complex.

“ *sigh* Okay sir but i’ll need more time, please just give me two days.”she pleaded.

“Okay but after the two days if you do not provide the money you will have to leave.” said the owner.

“Okay sir you’ll get your rent money i promise.” she said in confidence as she walked out of the owners office. “Wait what is your name again.?” said the owner.

“Its Nya sir” as she turned around before she walked out the door. After speaking to the owner of the Ac she walked to her car and drove to her brothers house seeking help. She drove on toward the freeway making her way to her brothers house. As she walked towards the door her brothers dog greeted her with a big hug and wet licks.

“Eww redgie get off get off!” as she giggled.

“You guys look like your having so much fun.”
Nya’s brother said chuckling.

“Brother i need some money fast where do you think i can make some in 2 days.?”
said Nya.

“Hmmm..”

says Nya’s brother thinking while checking his mail.

“Well the only place i know is the North i know a guy up there who i do business with but, i’ll have to call him up.” says Nya’s brother as he grabs his keys out of his pocket to open the door.

“Why don’t u come inside to eat and i’ll see what’s up.” as he’s opening the door for his sister.

“Okay what about the dog.?”

“he’ll be fine he kinda does his own thing when i leave him outside he won’t bite anybody...i think.”as Nya’s brother pauses and scratches his head.

“You thought a little too hard about that let’s bring him inside.”Nya jokingly says as she laughs. After 10 minutes past Nya’s brother calls the guy up in the north about the money. The guy agrees with Nya’s brother about helping out and Nya is so relieved that she bursts into tears.

“Nya Nya stop crying he’s coming right now it’ll be fine.”

“ i know i know but how do i know if….” Nya’s brother phone rings suddenly causing them both to go dead silent  as her brother answers the phone.

“Yeah what’s up.?”he says.

“Okayi i’ll bring her...yeah no problem….bye.” hangs up the phone and looks at Nya.

“Well what did he say.”
says Nya in a worried tone.

“Looks like you and i are going to the north to invest in better living instead of paying for that crappy hotel.” he laughs.

“YESS that sounds WAYY much better plus, i hear the houses are bigger adn the jobs pay way more then i was paid here in jalisco.”

“now that we got are plan in gear let’s get out of here.”
Nya says in a hurried tone.
Nya and her brother pack there clothes and bags and meet each other at her brothers later that night around 9:30.

“You ready.?” says Nya. of course let’s do this sis.”
says Nya’s brother. They stop by a fast food place called burger shack and then continue there trip to the North Nya falls asleep while her brother is on the phone with his girlfriend.
