His mother is a two-time breast cancer survivor, and his father is a construction worker. He has two sisters and one brother. He is also on the A/B honor roll. But ever since his mom had breast cancer three years ago, he felt like his life was over if she died and he had no one but his sisters and brother who hates him. His father is all the way in California doing construction making millions, and he only sees his children three times a year, because Damarion's parents have been separated for four years but have still been married for eighteen even though cheated on her seven times and gotten another woman pregnant. Damarion hates it very much. He wishes that his father would spend time with him every day in California because he hates being in Chicago where people get shot almost every day. He always watches the news and witnesses the violence that goes around the city ever since he was born. He always wonders what would happen if he died there. He asks himself that same question every day when he wakes up to go to school. But little does he know his time is about to run out sooner than later."
