Just when things seemed to be going ok, things go really bad. It starts with Lorenzo coming back all drugged up. *his eyes were VERY dilated* He immediately started to argue. Me and Michelle were in the room when we heard Vanessa *lil sister* screaming. I'm thinking, what the heck is going on? I hear her say its real. He then starts rambling about how he's going to shoot everyone and then himself if he don't get his way. So my mom threatens that she has called the cops. *she had the phone in her hand and I guess pretended to him that she did* So then he drove off really fast. So I go out there and ask what was going on. They tell me what I just about knew, he was threatening everyone. From that point, my mom and everyone went into my lil sister's room. Vanessa was really freakin out. My mom later told me that she was pulling some hair and thought she was going to die. That night *2 nights ago*, no one could sleep.

Me and Michelle get into are own argument. The most serious argument we ever got into. It lasted like 3 hours. I ended up bringing in my mom to tell her to stop. *she wanted me to sleep on the ground* She was rightfully upset but I wanted to sleep. So my mom comes in telling her off. *I kinda lied to make her look bad* Michelle is then Really upset. It seemed like it was going to be over, but the next day she let it slide.

Fast-forward to last night. Me and Michelle are in our bed and just lying there. I hear a Vanessa's door slamming and think I hear his voice. I look out the window and the truck is here. *door was unlocked and he just walked in* So he starts talking about he's gonna get us all. He points to his sock like he still has the gun. I then send Michelle to get my big bro. I position myself. I wait for a few mins and he's finally coming. I run up to Lorenzo and tell him to shutup. I then hit him and slam him down onto the couch where my mom is. I hit him. Rick comes to hold him down. The cops are called and on thier way. While we're holding him down he says in spanish "Kill me now or I'm gonna kill you" He keeps repeating it. Very eerie. So finally the cops come.

The arest him and look for the gun. That punk don't have it on him. They look for it but can't find it. So they decide to finally charge him with the felony assult I had put on him in Auguest. They tell me to move out or get a restraining order. I tell them that he don't care about no restraining order. They then tell me that after 72 hours he'll be elgible for bail. That bothers me. His boss is likely to help him. *his boss is also his friend* After that, they ask me some standard questions and then leave.

My mom is more upset at me and ricky then she is at lorenzo. She acknowledges that he's wrong for bringing in the gun but that he was no danger. *if that ain't danger, what is?* We argue because she is mad at me and worrying about rent and who is going to keep up the yard. It was about midnight and I finally went to lay down. I'm happy that I was able to get him after all his threatening. I hate barricading my room and telling Michelle my escape plans. Though the happiness ended there. Me and especially Michelle are worried. He hates us the most and probaly is going to try to kill us. I want to go somewhere for like a month, but all my friends except Danielle live with their mom. *still* I'm not close enough to Danielle to ask her such a thing. The only people I'd ask is Ray, Alex, and Jeff. The problem is thier parents. Alex's room is too small and doubt the parents want me thier for a month. Since he lives far from the college, the buses don't run their. Ray probaly do it but his mom isn't sympathic. She'd probaly let me stay a day, or two, but she's the kind that would tell me that I have to find somewhere else. Jeff is the last person I could ask. The problem there is his sister now has a fiancee living there and the apartment would be crowded. Plus, Jeff is jerky enough just to say no upfront to me. It's even harder because I have Michelle with me too. No one wants an extra person to move in, let alone 2. Me and Michelle are thinking about just renting a motel for a month or something, though that would really lower the money we have.

I keep telling Michelle I'll find something to do, though I don't know what. If it was end of the semester, we could just arrive at her house. They don't like me but Michelle says that they wouldn't flat out boot someone into the streets. That may be the option we have to take though. The $1000 question, Is dropping the semester worth it? I'm doing really good right now and it's hard to do good in the classes I'm enrolled in. Just one more month and it's over. We'll see. I actually prayed about it. THough I feel it is slightly hypocritical and humorous for me to be asking God for stuff only when I NEED it.

I'm so stressed. Had a bad dream about him shooting me already. My mom is increasingly against me and for him. As I type, she is defending him to one of thier mutal friends. She is pathetic. Anyways, I'm done. Eventally I'll continue with my previous entry about that bishop. Though don't hold your breathe. Got bigger problems in my life. That is all.
