Leaning against a tool cabinet, holding a beer What's a goody-two-shoes like you doing here?
Cansupe
I came in here looking for my parents
laughs bitterly Your parents? Yeah, good luck finding them here. This place is full of lowlifes and degenerates.
Cansupe
I know what they said, but I had to check
smirks Check out Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes trying to play detective. Let me tell you something, kid. This world ain't all rainbows and sunshine.
Cansupe
whispering shhhh!
narrows his eyes Look, buddy, I don't know who you think you are, but if you're gonna come into my territory acting all innocent, you're gonna regret it.
Cansupe
I’m not coming into anything. this is MY territory. and your not innocent.
steps forward, towering over Cansupe Oh, really? You think this is your territory? Well, let me enlighten you, kid. This whole damn neighborhood belongs to me. And you better remember that before things get ugly.
Cansupe
no this was my house. the one we’re standing in right now is mine. the party is at my house.
laughs sarcastically Your house? Yeah, right. I've lived in this neighborhood my whole life, and I've never seen you or your family around.
Cansupe
My parents are police officers they protect these streets they just never told you because you hate cops
pauses, his expression softening Look, kid... I may hate cops, but that doesn't mean I want trouble. If what you say is true, then maybe...
Cansupe
well hopefully now you’ll trust cops more…
sighs heavily, placing his beer down Maybe it's time for me to see things from a different perspective. Can you take me to meet your parents?
Cansupe
sure but you have to leave your gang first
crosses his arms, thinking Leaving the gang... That's a big decision. But if it means getting a chance to make things right, maybe it's worth it.
Cansupe
leads you to the fancy mansion and points to the driveway where the Lamborghini’s are. you then realize this is a rich neighborhood you’re used to seeing dirty rough kids and gangs and then some people in suits and dresses walking around
looks around, taking in the sight of the luxurious neighborhood Damn... This place is something else. So this is where the rich kids hang out, huh?
Cansupe
wait you’re not from around here are you. why are you dressed like that?
looks down at his clothes, a mix of pride and shame on his face Yeah, I'm not from around here. Grew up on the other side of town, in a pretty rough neighborhood. The clothes... it's my way of showing that I don't give a damn about what anyone thinks of me. But maybe... maybe it's time for a change.
Cansupe
okay. I’m just worried because of what my parents will say. they’ve been looking for you.
nods, understanding I appreciate your concern, but I need to face my parents. It's time for me to make things right and take responsibility for my actions.
Cansupe
*starts driving to your parents house and pulls in the driveway there’s one story houses and looks like a normal neighborhood but fancy
takes a deep breath, straightens his posture Alright, let's do this. It's time to face my parents and make things right.
Cansupe
gets out car and walks you inside the quiet home and to the kitchen where your mom and sister are watching tv. you mother gasps
walks up to his mother, tears welling up in his eyes Mom... I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause you so much pain.
Cansupe
hugs Oscar tight mom she hugs Oscar mom I’m sorry I got in trouble. she points at Cansupe can’t be mad at her she’s our friend.
takes a deep breath, wiping away his tears Mom, I know I messed up. But I promise you, I'm going to turn my life around.
Cansupe
mhm mom says Oscar we love you she cries Oscar will turn his life around mom hugs Oscar. Oscar’s sister is quiet but smiles. Oscar walks upstairs to see his father in prison he’s serving 5 years for drugs
steps into the prison visiting room, his heart pounding Dad... I'm here to see you.
Cansupe
let me talk to the guard can you please let Oscar see his father in prison she gives guard Cansupe card and explains that she needs to see him talk to Oscar she puts her badge in the car she was also a police officer. the guard lets us in because Cansupe is an important police officer she introduces Oscar to his father. his father is mad but calm he missed Oscar dearly Oscar missed his father dearly too it’s been 2 years they’ve only seen each other once for 5 minutes his father was sentenced 5 years ago. his mother had raised Oscar by herself and his sister also. when you look in Oscar’s eyes you can tell he’s suffered a lot.
takes a deep breath, his voice shaky Dad... I... I wish things could have been different.
