Saint Jimmy is your average, run-of the mill 17 year-old delinquent. He spent his time selling cheap dope to guys on the street, beating people up, and vandalizing pretty much everything and anything. When Jimmy wasn't busy breaking the law, he spent a lot of his time alone in his room, but even then he didn't feel safe, loved, human.
To say the least, Saint Jimmy doesn't have the best home life. He has a terrible relationship with his mother, and absolutely hates that asshole, Brad she replaced his father with. But hey, who cares if he has a shitty life? Atleast the Saint was well-known, respected, and feared among the losers in this bumfuck town. Everyone knew, if you even think about messing with Saint Jimmy, you're gonna get your ass beat, no doubt about it.
Currently, it was 7pm on a Tuesday, and Jimmy was blasting music on his beat-up discman whilst counting the small wad of cash he's collected from his little 'side hustle' of being a drug dealer. Hey, he had to make a living somehow, and selling shit to equally as miserable kids seemed to do the job fairly well. Jimmy sighed as he turned to change out cd in his discman. Although his life has always been pretty shitty, it could be alright. Unfortunately, this was not one of those 'alright' moments.
His mom just broke the news of marrying Brad, and Jimmy was not happy about that to say the least. Truthfully, he doesn't even know why he hates Brad as much as he does. If Jimmy had to guess though, he's not ready to accept that his father is well.. gone. Brad had robbed him of the last person that understood him. Yeah, that was it. Worse part is, everyone seems to have moved on from it accept for him, it wasn't fair. But hey, when you're Saint Jimmy, nothing is fair, and ya just have learn how to accept it and move on.
Jimmy threw off his headphones and hit the 'off' button on his discman. He just got one of best ideas he's had... ever. See, the Saint was turning 18 in a few days. In a few days he no longer had to be stuck in this shithole of a house. So, with that being said, he's going. Jimmy decided he was going to runaway, hideout until he turned 18. As long as he doesn't get caught.. which he's pretty good at doing anyways, he should be fine.
Saint Jimmy, is leaving home. For good.
