The life story of Leon Jones

Leon's familial background:

His father stabbed his mother with a knife and now he’s in the jail. The boy lives with his grandparents (the parents of his mother), which are blaming him for the death of his mother. The grandparents are drug addicted and they are punching him. Leon hangs out with his criminal peer group every day. He plays truant, steals things and he tortures peoples.

Thursday, 10 o´clock:

‘‘Leon, come on we have to hurry up”, Justin, the gang leader said. ‘‘Yeah, I’m coming soon”, he answered. Ome hour later they came out of an electronic-shop. Their bags were full of money and electronic stuff. In their hands they held weapons. ‘‘Ha, this was funny!”, Justin said. He was the gang leader and 19 years old.  ‘‘Why had we killed the shop owners, man?”, Leon asked angrily. ‘‘He wouldn’t give us the money!”, another gang member said. ‘‘Alright”, Leon said with a smile in his face. He threw his gun away and went home. He heard his favorite gangster rap song on the way. He saw lots of poor people, but he didn’t care. So, when he came home, his grandmother looked at him: ‘‘Where have you been? You weren’t at school!” , she said angrily. ‘‘No, I wasn’t, but what the hell do you care?”. ‘‘Oh, I don’t care, but your mother would have cared.” Silence. The 15 year-old-boy went away. He called Justin on his mobile: ‘‘Hey, I had trouble with my grandma. Can I come over?” He grabbed his backpack and went to Justin. The two boys played Black Ops 3 and went to a bar and drank a lot of alcohol. At 6am, they came back home. Both were totally drunk. They fell asleep. In the night, he had a dream: He was in a dark street. Suddenly, he saw his mother. He smiled and ran to her. Oh, he missed her so much. He hugged his mother and there was time was silence. His mother started to talk: ‘‘Oh boy, I miss you. You got so old.” ‘‘I miss you too, mom”, he whispered. ‘‘You are a good boy, but your friends aren’t! You have been influenced by them. See, you’re totally drunk and today you killed someone.”, said his mother. Leon got angry: ‘‘I had to kill him! I need the money more than him.” ‘‘No, that’s wrong, boy.” He started crying. Then he took a knife and killed his mother. He recognized that he is like his hated father. Then he woke up and ran out of Justin’s flat to the street. ‘‘Oh no, why?” He wanted to become a better person, not only for himself but also for his mother.
