Pavane for a Lost Boy (Or Rather, How to Survive Loss after Rejection)

Prologue Pt. 2: Revelations and Revolutions

All righty, folks. You've already seen how things came to be with my uncharmed life back in Fairlake Arms in the rough part of Fort Worth before my failed suicide attempt and being relocated to the Lomax family and attending Pacifica Glades High School of the Arts.

I've met new faces and reconnected with old ones from my old neighborhood.

And I even found a new connection with my transgender diving partner and now-love interest.

But as they say, there's always some sort of drama that lies within the shadows. And while I'm still haunted by my mother's acerbic words and the scars from the past, things look to be VERY chaotic thanks to the additions of Ryan Peavey (a lovelorn football player who seems to have the hots for me) and Jillian Kendricks (a blonde pageant-beautiful femme-fatale who won't let anyone near Ryan as she sees him as her beau). And while Ryan means well and wants no part with Jillian's plans; the girl doesn't seem to get the message and likes to view any of Ryan's potential suitors as a threat. And when it comes to little old me, Jillian is still harping at me to accept her offer to be a superstar while everyone else (including Ryan) is afraid that I'll end up worse off than I was before my arrival at PGHS.

Oh, boy. It seems that drama seems to follow me wherever I go.

Fate, I guess this is where things start getting very edgy and chaotic as this new chapter rolls along. And while I don't know what to expect and how things will play out, all I can do is just go along with what you have in store for me. Just don't make things too complicated or harder than I can deal with. Don't let me fall on my face and make a fool out of myself. But most of all, don't let me fall back into the chaotic depression that almost pushed me to end it all before I had a true chance to live life.

This is my last chance, fate, to finally start living instead of existing. This is my last chance to finally let go of the pain and be more than a fatalistic teenager on the edge of death. But most of all, this is my last chance to finally embrace myself for who I am without any more judgment from my past.

I don't know where I'll be heading and I don't know why I'm allowing myself to go forward when Mom wants me to grant her posthumous wish to end it all. But I'm going to keep running and see where things go from here. Just remember my words and my pleas. I've been through too much already to go into insanity. Don't push me back into that corner or even place me at the edge between survival and death

Now, are you guys ready for act two?

Then let's begin.

Well, folks, this is the prologue for the second act of this story. And all I can say to y'all is that you'll want something extra sugary, spicy, and (for the grown-and-sexy) strong in alcohol for what's ahead because act two is where we'll see new allies (and enemies) coming to Demario's life, people from his neighborhood talking about his late parents and siblings, and even have some dramatic tension in regards to Ryan and Jillian. But there's going to be tender moments for Demario and his transgender boyfriend Oliver. Add in more flashbacks regarding the Artem/Ryan/Jillian storyline and even flashbacks from Demario's past, and we'll have a real soap-opera storyline that's worth daytime television ("Degrassi" meets "Young and the Restless" and "Days of Our Lives"). And if you haven't read the story so far or need to play catch-up, then read act one of this story and get familiar with the story so far! I promise that it'll be worth the wait!

Anyway, chapter 31 is where we'll be off to group therapy for Demario before things get too harsh with an abrasive group-therapy member and his suicidal-happy friends want him out. Y'all can't afford to miss out on what's ahead because I plan to bring in the heat!

Dedication: TeodoratheScholar (I strongly recommend that you guys read "Byzantine Purple" as it's full of supernatural drama that's similar to both "Umbrella Academy," Dr. Who," and "Passions") for being a great author! Song: "Unsteady" by the X Ambassadors
