Always played by the rules

Chapter one - Tyson

Everything used to be normal, I used to be Normal and it all changed I lost everything my parents respect and for what to be depressed I wasn't always like this you how I used to be happy Marley the one that was always smiling even though it was in everyone's best interest to push me down, yet I don't regret anything not a single argument nothing will make me change the decisions that I've Made in life. Nothing.

"Marley you should've got An A+ not an A they don't cut it nowadays" Father says,
" your right I guess I just didn't focus its not like I got the highest grade in my class or anything" I say,
"While that's an mediocre achievement you can achieve so much more I feel like you spend to much time on your social media or something like that I'm disappointed to say the least I can't even stand the sight of you" Mom says" just go"
I sigh heavily and just go walking out of the living room usually I'll go upstairs and hide in my room but something made me not care so I go the complete other direction out the front door. Some will say the biggest mistake some will say the best decision but I just had to get out, I slowly walk down the seemingly quiet road I couldn't focus on anything, the park that's where I need to go the park is the place that will help me clear my mind, luckily the parks only 5 minutes away from my home, I scurry off to the seemingly similar gates of the park, walking inside something seems different? I don't know maybe I'm just changing. I sit under the giant tree with the over sized leaves, they hang over me like a silhouette in disguise.
" ermm excuse me may i see sit here please" I hear a deepish voice say above me,
" sure why not" I grumble,
" why so down?" He asks,
I look up,
"What you actually wanna know?" I ask,
"Well I ain't got nowhere to be so why not" he says,
" I try so hard to be my parents perfect daughter I get all the grades and I try my hardest in everything and it's never good enough because they just see failure it's so annoying like why can't they just accept me for someone that's actually worth something" I say,
He sighs,
"Look my parents never gave a shit about me and we're always disappointed in me so I zoned it all out took the wrong directions in life made my own person and that's made me a much better person, you should do the same be your own person not a doll" he says," I'm Tyson, Tyson James"
" I'm Marley Harrison" I say,
He pulls out a pack of cigarettes,
" want one?" he asks
You see I could be the good little girl that I'm meant to be and kindly deny or I could have a fag, what would Marley do?
"I'd love one" I say,
He hands me one and lights it up I slowly inhale and feel like I'm relieved of never ending stress I feel like I'm normal,
"Your a natural wow you've really got the hang of things, are you sure your this good girl that you've been saying I'm not to sure" he says,
"Either am I so Tyson, how old are you then" I ask,
"I'm 17" he says " how old are you??"
" I'm 14" I say,
" we'll miss Marley I say we go on a trip?" He says,
I raise an eyebrow and smile,
" a trip?"

There I found myself in a car with a gorgeous 17 year old and it never felt so good, for once I felt like I belonged, so as we listened to music laughed at jokes and told each other stories I could never be happier. Don't get me wrong jumping in a car with an older guy isn't the safest thing to do but there's something that made me trust Tyson that fact that he was a bad boy that we were completely polar opposites, I don't know but what I did know was that I was in a car with him and we were going to God knows where and I've never felt better.

I don't know how long we were driving but we made it, we ended up in a hill covered place God knows where but it was amazing,
" is this where your gonna kill me " I say smiling,
" we're gonna watch the sunset it's the most beautiful thing ever " he says " it's where I go to clear my mind don't you think it's amazing "
I cast my eyes upon the amazing beautiful sky,
" it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen "
As we sit on the top of the hill and gaze at the Orange coloured sky the pink sun starts to slowly fade away,
And the stars slowly come up to replace it, we don't speak clouded by silence the nice silence just to be here was beautiful and something I knew I'd never ever forget for as long as I live, I don't know how long we stay there for but it must've been quite long because the sun started to slowly rise again we spent the whole time talking and getting to know each other Tyson lives by himself and dropped out of school his parents were disgusting to him but he wouldn't change a thing.
The car ride back is full of happiness just talking and singing and being happy but like all great things it didn't last I saved Tyson's number on my phone and he dropped me home.
" today was amazing " he says,
" thank you you've made me realise that sometimes there's more in life than being perfect " I say,
" repay me by going out with me sometime" he says,
I smile,
" sure thing bye James " I say,
" bye Harrison " he smiles
I climb out of the car and slowly walk to my home I've been gone for nearly a whole day my parents are gonna flip.
