Let's Play

Chapter 1: Waiting

Life is full of hard struggles you have to learn from. But for some reason, it always find ME in the end. Not anyone else but me! I know I may sound exaggerating but I'm not kidding.
                           *Flashback*
I was playing around in my backyard with a few neighborhood kids. Surprisingly, I did not know them and was too shy to get to know them. And to top it all off, it was my birthday!! It may sound crazy that I have random kids at my birthday party....but it's not. Who am I kidding?! It is extremely weird.
Anyways, I was turning 7 today! My favorite number in the whole entire universe! Throughout the years I experienced so.much bad luck that kids were scared to be around me. (I know they are here today...but that's because my mom paid them to be here. I'm not dumb.) I hoped that since 7 was my lucky number, nothing would happen today on my special day....boy was I wrong.

Later that day...

"Darling! Time to cut the cake!" my mother shouted from wherever she was. 

"Coming!" I replied. As I began to walk, I start to feel tingles throughout my body. Like they should not belong there at all. 'No worries' I thought. 'It's nothing to worry about. Right?'

I slowly make my way to the table where I see a decent-sized cake on it with my name on it. That's when a young boy name Jax stops me.

Jax is a young boy around my age, if not a year older, that lives down the street from me. He was my first actual friend I met while growing up and stayed by my side whenever things got rough. Unfortunately, it was hard for him to hang out with me anymore because his mother did not want him, to hang out with a "freak" like me. The other neighborhood kids knew it was the best idea that Jax stayed away from my home, so that's how it went. I never seen or talked to Jax in about two years. That is why it confused me why would he picked today to talk to me. He had 2 years! 2!

"What do you want Jax?" I ask obviously annoyed. He rolls his eyes.

"Look, I know it has been years since we talked but I want to say I'm sorry."

"Well, it's your fault! You should have ignored what everyone were saying about me!" I said becoming really angry.

" But-" I cut him rudely off.

"But nothing!" My hands started to feel increasingly hot and I start to feel this great deal of confidence building inside of me. 'Where is this coming from? When was this years ago? Oh well...at least it's here now.' "I may be young but we made a pack ever since we were in diapers! Never leave each other side no matter what! Be there for each other! You were always there for me except when I needed you the most!" I was practically screaming at this point. Everyone's eyes were on me right now but I didn't care.

"Listen!" Jax had to shout over me to be heard. "I'm sorry! I regret the day I ever left you! I knew I shouldn't have...but I had no choice. All I can ask is for forgiveness. So can you forgive me?" His eyes started to water while he waited for my answer. Unfortunately for him...my patience had ran short those past two years.

"For hell with 'forgiveness'" I told him. My mother gasps at my language. The next thing I know, my birthday cake burst with flames. Some random girl pointed at me and yelled, "FREAK!"

I run away crying. I grab my carry bag I already have packed with everything I will need. 'I knew one day I would run away. I just did not expect today to be that day. At least I was smart enough to carry my bag wherever I go in case of emergencies.'

I ran and ran until I did not know where I was anymore. 'Time to start a new life I guess.'

*End of Flashback*  

So that's where I am to this point. That one day that changed everything for me. I ran away 8 years ago, and I still remember everything perfectly. As if I relive that day every moment of my life.

I'm 15 now, and every time someone sees me, they ask me my name. I tell them I do not have one. I know that is a complete lie, but I'm never telling anyone my name. They do not deserve to know and I do not want anyone to find me.

I just pray that one day will come so I can escape this hell I have been living all my life. 

I wish....

I know...

I believe....
