Somewhere in Mexico It's been eight years. Eight years. Held captive against my will. I'm beginning to believe that I'll also die here. "Are you okay?" my only friend, Leah, asks as she comes walking towards me. "How do you feel?" I lay my head against the wall and sigh. 'Feel?' Not sure if I feel anything physically or emotionally. I am always paranoid and assuming the worst that can happen to me. Been stuck in this tiny room. We have shared this room ever since she came here, which was last year. One door, one window, and book shelf with only a few books in English language which I have read more than I can count. I feel her hand on my shoulder which knocked me back to reality. "I'll be okay." I say softly. I've always wanted to escape the only reason I can't is for the reason that Jovan has guards all over this mansion. Jovan knows that if I ever were to escape I won't get far. His men will haunt me down and bring me back. Not sure what in Gods name they'll do to me if I were to leave. Jovan, a vicious, murderous, dangerous drug lord …show more content…
I go towards the door and knock. The guard outside my room opens the door, "¿A dónde vas?" he says with a stern voice. "Al bano." I never understood what's the need of telling the guards where we go or why they have to walk us to a certain place. It's not like I can runaway. The second I walk out the door and make my way to the bathroom, which is in the other side of the mansion. Smiling confidently and completely unafraid is the rules outside out of the bedroom. Jovan, has men all over this place. I could see Jovan sitting in certain of the living with another drug lord. I can tell their making business since the other man has his men surrounding him with their guns out. One of Jovan's men is standing in the shadow of the opposite hall with his gun hidden. There's 8 men standing on the porch. These men haven't taken their eyes off of the other
Waving goodbye from the backseat of the car, as we pull out of my parent’s driveway. Looking out the window at the oddly, white shaped clouds. Thinking, I had never been away from my parents and my younger sister for so long, even though it was only for two weeks. I was excited and scared all at once, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the whole 29-hour drive there. Hoping that the trip would go well and nothing bad will happen to us.
We had been waiting for this trip for years. Every 5 years we go on a trip to someplace fun. When five years passed after our trip to disneyland we were all waiting to go on some other adventure. I had done this twice, but 2 things about our trip this year were special.
“Are you okay?” I ask her. She replies with a nodd. I knew something was not alright. By her body language. I ask her
“How are you feeling?” She asks. “Okay.” I answer with every bit of energy I have left.
On Saturday, we began to pack our bags. My parents dropped me off at Noah’s house, assuming I was going to spend the night there. When Daniel finally arrived, we all grabbed our belongings and began the walk to mansion, and what we never thought would be the most terrifying night.
Recognize Nieves? No? Okay, how about Zacatecas? Still not ringing a bell? Okay, okay, Mexico? Yeah, I knew you’d know that one. Nieves, Zacatecas is within the Mexico borders. A humble place where I was born. Several circumstances started evolving where I was raised. And just like any other parents, mine got concerned which later resulted of us relocating to a safer environment. A place where death would visit frequently wasn’t a good place for a 1 year old kid. A town where the word trust was unknown. Leading to my parents decision of following the american dream.
I've been abandoned all alone in a trailer park in Gallup, New Mexico. I just received a phone saying i was dead and my mom was in the hospital.
“I- i think i'm fine , it’s not that big of a deal “ i reply trying to sound as normal as possible .

My name is Francisco. I moved to America when I was just a little boy. I have lived in Cleveland for as long as I can remember. When I was old enough to live on my own, I bought an apartment right across the street from a vacant lot that the city seemed to use as a giant dumpster. I used to take walks every day. I would always walk by the lot and cringe at the awful smell.
They finally let me out of there now my quest is to find a place to sleep,
It all began the summer after my junior year at Gibson Southern High School. A few months prior to our two month break, my parents had ordered a “family meeting” to discuss the upcoming summer vacation. Our annual idea of relaxing and eating at the same restaurants had gotten quite repetitive and put itself in dire need of revival. After approximately two hours, seven minutes, and nineteen seconds of throwing suggestions around, we compromised on a trip to Cancun, Mexico. This vacation promised; a direct flight, an all-inclusive resort, and a seven day stay with humans in hopes of returning home in one piece. I had agonized the wait, but dreamed miraculously of the vibrant culture and subtle environment my family and I would soon be engulfed by. The anticipation had now reached a standstill and it was time to be comforted by my family, journey through a new adventure, and create a stronger bond with the people I love most.
They stopped at a huge two-story mansion set near the edge of a cliff. Tommy, who was still in his underwear, put on some pants as Saul hid his shotgun inside his coat, motioning to Don to do likewise. Finally, they exited the car and strolled up to the door. Nodding at two security officers blockading the door, Tommy showed them his credentials.
"I 'm fine. It 's just that…I 'm worried about Abby and Ellie." She finally confesses.
As my eyes lit up like the fourth of July, I stood with my feet stuck to the ground, and my nerves tingle with happiness because of how marvelous it was. I didn't know a Mexico resort could be so nice.
