All my life all I've felt is pain. Pain from my dad leaving me, pain from being teased of having a "girls" name, pain from my mom hurting me both mentally and physically, but the most painful thing I face is how lonely I am; I have no friends and my family hates me. "Wake up you worthless waste of life! You gotta go to school today' oh and while you're out stop off at the liquor store; I'm running low on Vodka!". I hear my mom scream from downstairs as I get dressed for school "But I need to save my money for and also that stuff is bad for you mom" I sling my bag over my shoulder when and smile in to the mirror thinking "Well here goes another day of high school, I hope I make some friends today" that's when I hear the stairs crunching and creaking as my mom hauls herself up the steps, stepping on every step as hard as she possibly can. Suddenly I hear a huge slam as my door is kicked down and my mom storms in punching me in the gut "Where do you get the nerve telling me what to do! You're just a worthless piece of garbage that I made; you're the biggest mistake I've made!" I look up at her, trembling with fear and tears in my eyes, "I-It was just a s-suggestion mom..." You seems to even more aggravated as she says " and how many times have I told you, don't call me Mom?! You're just a parasite I have to deal with for three more years". She starts to pull off her belt and I start scramble away but she grabs my shin; slamming me to the ground I look as she says with a sadistic smile"Where do you think you're going? We're not done here...I still have to teach lesson" I look up at her in horror "Please don't...!" She starts to beat repeatedly over and over I feel the sting of her diamond studded belt as each stud rips into my skin. Tears start to fall down her face "S-shut up before the neighbors hear your! It's all your fault...he left because of you! You deserve this pain, all the pain I've been through because of you! Why won't you just die!!!" She starts to hit harder and my body starts to go numb as I take hit after hit...
Two hours later...
I enter my classroom as quickly and quietly as I can but the teacher still notices me "Mr.Ryobi, so glad you could Grace us with your presence". Everyone laughs at his joke "Ha good one, never heard that one before..." He scowls at me "What did you say to me?" I looked down at my desk " N-nothing sir..." He gets up from his desk and starts walking towards me. He reaches my desk and stares at me intensely "Now I want you to speak up" I repeat what I said earlier but he still just gives me the intense stare "I said speak Up!" He starts to reach his hand towards me, so instinctively I raise my hands over my face screaming "I'm sorry please don't hit me!" He looks at me compassionately "I wasn't gonna hit you..." A few tears start to fall down my cheek as I shrivel up into a ball, the pain from earlier still not subsiding "Grace...Just try to be on time to class ok?" I can't even look at him, not even speak, I just nod my head and he goes back to teaching. The bell rings and I start packing my things together so I can head to my next period when Bill, one of the classmates that enjoys to pick on me knocks all my stuff on the ground "Whoops I'm so clumsy" Jim, another one of my bullies, picks my stuff up "huh what have we got here? I wonder what's inside?" I rush to Jim saying "Jim, give me my stuff back. I need that for my next period". Jim just scoffs at me " Oh well, then why don't you make me?" I look at Professor Nevero but know he won't step into help since it's Jim that is the offender. Jim gets away with anything in this school since his mom and dad are head chairmen of the schools budget system. I try to reach for it but he pulls it away at the last second before I can grab it and throws it out the window. I ball up my fists and look up at him with my eyes filled with rage "What the hell is your problem?! What did I ever do to you?!" He laughs at me as he says "You didn't do anything to me, you're just to easy to pick on. You're such a pushover" he then pushes me to the ground, ripping my favorite pair of khakis. I get up thinking about all the ways I could kill him and actually consider it, until I remember the promise I made to myself, that I will never cause harm to another living creature ever; I'll never be like my mom! I brush the dirt off my pant and start to walk away as Jim keeps taunting me as I walk away "Yeah that's right, walk away just like your old man walked away from you! No one loves you, not even the woman that brought you into this world!" I head to my next period as I look out the window as it starts to rain "Wow today's a really good day..."
Seven hours later...
Schools finally out, now should I head home and receive a lesson for not get mom more vodka or should I go to the liquor store and watch as my mom slips slowly into a dark abyss which she will never escape? I ponder this as I leave the school building, I think I'll head home maybe if I'm lucky I'll just get a beating like this morning. I start heading home when I'm grabbed and pushed into a nearby alley, I look up to see who did it when I see three men in red tuxedos and a woman behind them wearing a brown cloak. The woman with a raspy voice says "Knock him out and put him in the car, but remember our leader wants him unharmed or he'll have our heads". The men all start to surround me, one of them grabs me and puts a rag to my face I slowly start to slip away and start to think "This is it, I'm going be sold as a slave and do who knows what just to stay alive; I'm sorry I couldn't save you mom..." That's when a three individuals jump from the rooftops down on the men, grab me and run. As we are escaping I can barely make out voices "Why were they after this kid? I don't know! Usually they only go after us...You know he's kinda cute...SHUT UP LUST!!!" Lust? What kinda name is that? Where are they taking me? Who and who are the "they" these people keep talking about? As I slip away into darkness I ask myself "what the heck did I get myself into...?
