Chapter 1: Beginning.
Year 2000
New Bedford, Massachusetts.
"Luke!!! Get the fuck up! " A horrendous, manly voice boomed from downstairs of an old two-story house.
Lukas, an eighteen-year-old boy who was sleeping soundly, jumped up when he heard that voice, but he was still sleepy. Scratching his thigh, he got up from the bed. Seeing the chipped old house, he sighed and then went to the bathroom.
"How much time does it take you to take a dump?"
"Ah! Dad, I am just taking a piss, " Lukas replied with frustration. Every day was like this in this house, chaotic and messy.
Lukas, after brushing his teeth and face, sat down in an old, rusty chair. Ronald, the owner of that booming voice, came in with a plate that had toasted bread and little red jam on it.
"Dad, I don't think we should be doing this, it'll be bad for the family, and I don't want to pressure you anymore. You have to pay for Noah too, " Lukas said while looking at his dad, who was busy giving a plate to another young man who's around 13-14 years old.
"Luke, don't be like that. I am not like you, you're our family's only hope, " Noah said while munching down on his bread.
