4 Being Me

Jack's POV

(Play video)

I picked up the journal that I kept to record my life in and thought. Then I began to write.

"Part 342 Thursday

Being all that I am is hard. But falling deep in a hole over and over again is different. I know some people say that it's better to fall than run off and never be heard from again. I'm one of those people. All my life I've been running off and was never heard from again, only to show up at different places and then disapear again. I've been changing my name for years, not using my real name unless I want to get caught. I'm not a criminal if that's what you think, I'm just on the run from the family that I shouldn't have had. Emma is my biological sister. Our parents had died years ago from a ship wreck. We had gone to a foster home weeks later after going to a mental hospital to help us cope with what we saw. The family that we were paired up with treated us like crap.

My whole life I was a fugitive. Running away and sometimes never seeing the light of day for days at a time.

Here at home, at least, where me and Emma are hiding out, I can be the fatherly brother that my sister needs. I have to be her father now, considering that I'm old enough to be an adult. The last words that my father said to me are echoing in my mind. 'Take care of Emma for us, Jack. We will help you in your greatest time of need whenever we can.' Then the boat sank as we watched them take their final breath. But it's not my most painful memory. Though I'd rather not talk about that either."

"Big brother?" Emma opened the door to my room, letting light fill in a bit of the darkened room. I looked up at her from my journal, a sad smile stretched on my face.

"Hey Ems. What are you doing?" I asked. She walked torwards me and sat on my bed. I sat up and put my journal down.

Emma took a deep breath before she spoke. "Have you ever, you know, fallen in love before, big brother?"

I smiled at her. "Of course, why?"

"Because I think that I've," She paused. "That I've fallen for someone, Jack." She looked at me fearfully, as if expecting that I would get mad. I only widened my smile.

"Well, I know that I'm not the best advice giver, but, if you think that this person is the right one for you, then don't be afraid of what I think. Don't worry about anything. Just do what you think is right." I didn't really think that what I gave her was the best advice, but she took it as if it was.

"Thanks big brother! You're the best!" She turned and hugged me, nearly squeezing the life out of me. I patted her back. "You can let go now."

Almost instantly she let go of me, but not without one last squeeze.

She ran out of the room after thanking me again. I chuckled and laid back on my bed, concentrating on going to sleep. Closing my eyes, I thought about tomorrow and what will happen.

Michael's POV (the weeks later)

"I officially hate high school." Ostin just looked at me weirdly as if I said, "I'm a circle," or something like that.

"Why?!? School is wonderful! It teaches what you really need in-"

"Life?" I snorted. "Like all that will help you in your actual future job."

Ostin still stared me down. "You are all so complicated. Why don't you enjoy school like a lot of other people?"

Scoffing, I said my reply. "One, hardly anyone likes- or should I say, loves- school anymore, and second, I would've liked a little if it wasn't for him."

"Who?" A menacing and strong voice said.

Ostin froze. His eyes widened as he stared at something behind my back. I turned around as slowly as I dared, trying not to move too quickly.

There, standing behind me, was the guy I was talking about. Jack Vranus. The only guy who is obsessed with bullying in high school.

I gulped, harder than I intended to. My body trembled. Not from fear, but because my electricity was stirring. "N-nothing."

He smirked. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ostin inching away. Probably going to run away.

Jack grabbed my shirt. But before he could stuff me into a locker Elsa came into view.

"Stop!" She shouted. Jack only smirked and looked at her.

"What are you going to do about it, huh?"

A flash of orange light lit up the hallway. The surrounding students all looked at Anna, who just came out of nowhere.

"Put him down," She said calmly, but I know that she was boiling with anger. "Or I'll incinerate you!"

Everyone laughed. A shock went through my body as well as anger. "Uh oh." I muttered. Electricity jumped from my body and onto Jack.

Jack released me and screamed in agony. I brushed myself off and looked at Elsa after he colapsed on the floor. She had shock written on her face. I nodded and held out my hand. She returned the gesture and so did Anna.

"Dude?" I looked at Ostin. He had the look on his face that makes you think, I did this. Dropping my gaze to the floor I pushed my way out of the crowd, Anna and Elsa right behind me.

"What happened there, Michael?" Anna asked me.

"I, I just-" my face turned into a fearful one. "I don't know what happened."

Okay, I'm ending this. Happy New Year, ya- what was it that you called them?

Snowflakes.

I'm changing the name to Snowgies instead, and I don't care what you say!

You sound drunk, Elsa.

Who cares? Weeee!!!

Eyeyey.
