Rusted Memories

Chapter 1

Deeks just stared, and stared some more. 

o__O 

Was this for real? It couldn't be! It just couldn't be! It wasn't possible! No way was it possible! 

He could not believe that he was seeing Mr and Mrs Dawson. He could not believe that they had found him, after all these years, after all the pains he had taken to go as far as he could, away from them about 10 years ago. He stood still, his mind hovering between shock and anger. Glaring at them with wide round eyes, Deeks slammed shut the door to his apartment, feeling shock coursing through his veins. Especially seeing his father smiling had made him angry and irritated. What did they want from him?

The bell had gone off, alerting him of a visitor. Deeks, a bit miffed that he had to pause his video game to get up and open the door, reluctantly put his popcorn aside, and went ahead to open the door.

In his hurry to get back to the game, he didn't check through the peep hole as he usually did, instead just opened the door.

And lo! There they were. The ones whose faces he didn't ever wanna see again. The same ones who had hurt him so much that he had had to run away from his own life. And there they were, seemingly ready to destroy his present as they had destroyed his past. 

But no, this time, it wouldn't be the same. He wouldn't let them ruin him, now that he finally was strong enough. Not this time.
