Chapter one: Uncle Samuels word
(While Christopher was looking out on the balcony, his Uncle walked inside his bedroom to check on him.)
Uncle Sam: Hey Champ... how are you feeling right now kiddo?
(Christopher turned around and saw his Uncle Sam standing behind him.)
Christopher: i'm doing good Uncle Sam, it's just that i'm in shock of what happened in the trip.
(Uncle Sam puts a shoulder beside him.)
Uncle Sam: It's alright Christopher, Your Aunt and I are here for you on the struggles you have... I know your mother and father would be here with us to talk about this. But they're now in a better place now.
Christopher: True Uncle Samuel, hey um Uncle. I'll maybe go for a walk for now. See you later.
Uncle Sam: No, no, no Christopher. You and i need to have a talk about what happened in school and something for you to keep in mind.
Christopher: We can talk tomorrow or when you and Aunt Martha return Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam: We can talk right now, Chris. If you let me.
Christopher: What do we have to talk about? And Why now? Aren't you and mom supposed to be heading out for tonight.
Uncle Sam: Well yes, but you and i haven't talked for so long. Your Aunt Martha including me do not know who you are, and what your turning into. You've shirk your chores. You have all those weird experiments in your room. You also even kick of fights at school.
Christopher: I told you and Aunt Martha that i didn't start the fight, besides. Eddie and the others were beating up Max, Peter and Jason for a lie they didn't do towards Anne Uncle Sam. They-?
Uncle Sam: I understand how you feel right now Christopher, but of course i know you did the right thing, sticking up for your friends but you should've never had gotten involved with that.
Christopher: So what was I supposed to do then? Walk away or watch them being beaten?
Uncle Sam: No, you're not supposed to run away, walk away or watch them being beaten, but... Chris listen to me, You're changing. I went through exactly the same thing at your age Chris.
Christopher: No. Not exactly Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam: Chris, listen to me. These are the years when a man changes into the man he's gonna become for the rest of his life. Just be careful of who you might turn into. This guy, Eddie Brock and his gang, they probably deserved what happened in school, But just because you can beat Brock up... doesn't give you the right to Chris. Remember this word Chris, The true measure of power is how you choose to wield it. in you.
Christopher: So what? are you afraid I'll become a criminal? Quit worrying about me, okay Something's different. I'll figure it out on my own Uncle Sam. Just stop lecturing and treating me as a child, i'm not a child anymore I'm now a grown up.
Uncle Sam: I don't mean to lecture or preach. And I know I'm not your father, but i am your still your guardian Christopher.
Christopher: Then stop pretending to be my father, he's gone! The same with my Mother!
(Uncle Sam remained quiet in front of Christopher, he then turned to entrance of his room and left without saying a word to Christopher... While he was downstairs, Aunt Martha was standing in the door waiting for him.)
Aunt Martha: It's okay Samuel... he's just going through a hard time and i know, it's been hard on him ever since his parents died and how we took him in and raised him. But don't be mad at him Samuel, he's a good boy.
(Uncle Sam looks down at his foot and sighed.)
Aunt Martha: Look, i know it's hard that Christopher is starting to change as he grows up. But surely he'll find it in both of us that he is like our adopted son.
Uncle Sam: I do hope so, i spoke to him in his bedroom. Come on Martha, we don't wanna be late.
(They left the house and got inside the car and drove away.)
