Music to set the mood :)

Warning!!
This story contains: Swearing, Blood, Fights, Guns, Knives, and Abuse. I will add onto this when it comes.

I was wandering the forest behind the school. I was hoping to find those kids who stole my book... I didn't find them where they said.... I hear another kid's laughter. Probably another sick trap.. I thought. I don't have the money, nor do my parents, to buy new books for class.. I look around and follow the laughter. 

I soon found myself at a lake. The lake was beautiful, with the orange sunset laying upon it. I looked at it in awe and took a mental picture in my mind. I heard murmurs behind me and turned around to see those... idiot kids, I call my classmates. 

"Oh... What do we have here? A dirty little rat." I just looked at them fearfully. 

"Ugh what is that smell? Does he even shower?" 

"I bet his parent's don't even have enough for a house!" They were right... We hardly even have enough for food... 

"Hey, street rat. We are talking to you!" I look up at the boy with brown eyes and light brown hair. 

"I don't think pink eyes here can understand you Drake. He is after all, just a sad little piece of shit!" I looked down. I was speechless.. 

I was about to try and get away but then I saw one of the kids with my books. I think they noticed me eyeing the books because one of them smirked as I did so. 

"Oh.. Do you want this?" I looked up at the girl who was shaking my math and history book in front of my face. I tried to grab them but she pulled them back to her and kicked me away. "Well then go and get them," she said, throwing my books into the lake. 

I just looked at my books as they slowly sank into the water, lower and lower. Before I knew it, I was knocked down into the sand. 

'Why don't we give him a bath, he could use one." One of the girls said, looking lustfully at one of the boys. 

"Why not," he said looking at me with an evil grin. I looked at him with fear, and before I could even stand, I was picked up by the collar and tossed into a lake, like an unwanted toy.

I sat up, my hands sinking down in the wet mud. 

"My, my... What is going on here?" Said a familiar voice, approaching. I looked over in the direction of the voice, and so did some of the bullies. 

Some of the whispering, some of them just staring.

I wiped some of the water off my face and saw Alex, staring at the bullies fiercely. Some of the girls hid behind the boys, the boys were trying to act intimidating.

"Does anyone want to say anything?" He said looking around, smiling. Some of them were whispering. "Well? Last chance..." He said, sounding a bit more serious. 

Some of them were scared and ran away, others just stood there. Alex took another step and they ran away too.
Alex walked toward me with a scary face. He crouched down to my level... 

"Now... It is your turn!" He said, with an evil grin. I smiled at him and shook my head. 

"Stop messing around. I get it, you are very scary." I said, laughing a bit. 

"Are you saying I'm not scary," he said reaching out his hand to help me up. 

"No, You just aren't scary to me." 

"Says the kid who is scared of everything" He said, punching my arm.

As we were walking through the forest, making our way back to the school, Alex seemed a bit more hesitant. 

"Whatcha thinking about, Alex?" I said looking at him curiously. 

He stared at me for a second before smiling. 

"Oh, it is nothing." "C'mon, you can tell me." I said. 

"Okay.. I was thinking of what we should do when we get out of highschool. I mean.. If we want to go to the same college it would need to be cheap... or free.. And... I don't really want to go through all that trouble...." 

"So what were you thinking?" I said in anticipation. 

"I was thinking that we should try to join the army. I mean... we don't need to get an education for it, and there is a chance we could be put in the same group. We might even get you some friends." He said. 

"Well.. I don't need friends.. I have you don't I?" 

"Yeah, yeah... but what about when I am not here for you... Or when I want to go on with my life and start a family. What would you do..? I really think joining the army would be the best choice for us..." 

He was stating really good points... I guess the end of high school was just around the corner... In a week from now..

"Hey Isacc? Do you want to go to my house for a change of clothes?" 

"That would be nice," I said smiling at him. 

"Alright.. Let's go."

We had gone to his house many times before. I would usually stay at his house until it got late. Around 7:30 PM. That is when my mom was done with her work. My mother worked as a maid for many houses, and my father... left my mother and I a long time ago...

Alex's house was a nice medium sized house in a lovely neighborhood. His parent's were extremely nice and were okay with letting me stay.

I always felt bad that they gave me so much but there was nothing I could give back to them...

I am sure one day I will be able to pay them back one day....

~-2... Years.... Later.....-~

I woke up from my bed, and gave a little stretch. 

Today was the day! I was so hyped. I headed to my old creaky closet, and changed out of my pajamas. I was happy I was able to help my mom afford a house. It may be small and old, but it was better than nothing. 

I looked at myself in the mirror before taking a breath and heading down the stairs. I was greeted by my mom who had prepared a nice little breakfast for me. 

She took one of her vacation days for me today... I smiled at her as I joined her at the table, and started to eat. 

"So.. Big Day. I am so happy you were able to get into the army. I am sure you will do great! Did your friend get in too?" 

"Yeah, we were both really happy about it too. I will miss you... " I said, losing my smile a bit. 

"Ah.. Isaac, there is no need for that tone. I will miss you too my darling.. But remember to come back," She said, holding my hands in hers. 

"I will try." 

"No, No. No try. Do." I smiled at her, before responding. 

"I promise."

I quickly finished my food and headed back upstairs to retrieve my bag.

As I headed down, I saw my mom teary eyed. I hugged her a nice long goodbye hug, before finally leaving. 

"Bye!! I will see you!" 

"I love you!" 

"Love you three-thousand." And with that, I was off to Alex's house. We promised to go to the bus together.

As I came across Alex's house, he was hugging his parents goodbye.

I smiled at them and waved to them, before I came up to them and hugged them myself. 

"Stay safe, kiddos." 

"Don't worry dad, we will be fine!" He said before grabbing something from his backpack. 

He pulled out a camera. He aimed it at us, before saying, "Say cheese everyone!" 

"CHEESE!" We all said, hugging each other closely. 

The camera flashed, blinding me a bit. My vision returned to me as fast as it left. A picture came out of the camera, it was fully white, still developing. Alex grabbed the image before shaking it and shaking it.... And well.... Shaking it. Before he finally put it in his pocket.

"I'll miss you boys.. Have a good trip!" Alex's mother said. Giving us both one more tight squeeze. We waved them goodbye before finally heading to the bus.

This is where our adventure begins....
