Anthony POV
(After Anthony punched Joell)

I can't believe I punched Joell! What is wrong with me! I punched her!

" Im so stupid! " I kept repeating in my car while I drove home. I punched someone I love, that's like punching kalel for no reason.
She helped me through so much and I hurt her! 

She helped me through homework and she...she.

I started to tear up remembering what she did for me... she saved me... she saved me from...

myself.

Anthony Pov

"Happy birthday dear Anthony!  Happy birthday too you!" About 30 people sang all at once.

It was my 18th birthday.

I blew out my candles and put on a fake smile. As everyone cut the cake and ate their piece, I went up stairs and layed on my bed and looked at the ceiling.  I felt sad,  angry,  worthless

I hated my life...

My mom went missing 2 years ago when she when on a trip with her friends. 

My dad is abusive mentally and physically. Calling me names and hitting for no reason. I sadly have his temper when I wanna. I keep getting denied out of almost every college I applied to and I only have to two more I can pick from.

That's it.. im done with the abuse and the misery.

I walked up the attic stairs and walked towards the big window and saw the concrete ground.

' Im I really going to do this?' I thought to my self as I walk out the window and stand on the roof.

I was one step till I was off the roof but I stopped as I heard my named screamed.

"Anthony!  What are you doing! " I heard as I turned around. Joell was looking at me with tears in her eyes.  She walked up to the roof and was standing 5 feet away from me.

"I can't do this anymore...  my life sucks! " I yelled.  Joell had a confused face.

"But you seemed so happy! What happened? " she said reaching for my hand but I pulled away before she could touch me.

"I just hate my life! I don't wanna explain.. " I said with tears running down my face.

"Okay,  I understand.  Just come with me..." joell said reaching for my hand and this time I pulled away too hard and my foot slipped.

"ANTHONY! " Joell screamed.

At that moment, I knew I was going to die and it was a mistake! It was birthday, I had friends that cared... Ian, Joell.  All the people I ever loved will be gone.

At lease I will see my mom...

My thought was cut off when I noticed I wasn't falling.  I looked up and saw Joell crying.

"Anthony... " joell wimps as she trys to pull me up. I grabbed the roof and help her. She drags me in the attic and she looks at me like ' WTF DUDE!' .

I started to cry real hard and I jumped into Joells arms and said " Im sorry " over and over again I cry in her arms.

"It will be okay... I promise. " Joell said with sincerity and I really trusted her

————end of memory --------------

I didn't even notice I was sitting in my driveway. I got out the car and walked to the door and unlocked it. I walked in to kalel singing cooking pasta.

"Hey babe!  Cooking your favorite!" She said walking up to me still dancing and singing.

I lightly kissed her forehead and walked passed her.

"Sorry baby, im not hungry.  Im just gonna lay down." I said throwing my keys down and jacket on the counter.

She ran in front of me, stopping me in my tracks.

" Anthony.. are you okay? " She said with a concerned face. I just nodded my head.

" Yeah , just tired. " I put on a fake smile and kissed her head again.

I just walked to my room, closed the door and locked it.

I collapse in my bed.. just reliving what I did to Joell.

I actually punched Joell...
The women that saved my life...  One of the women I loved...

I don't wanna be like my dad..
I really don't wanna be..
