The One Left Behind

Chapter 1: I'm fine without friends.

When I was 2 years old my mom got murdered by a man in all black. I know most teens don't remember any memories from being 2 years old but this event was so intense that it just stuck.  I have no idea who he was yet, obviously, but I will find him and get revenge for my mother (Voice cracking) I only had my mother...  My dad was crazy and an alcoholic My mom drew the line between them two right after I was born. She was a single mom raising a little girl. When she died, the man took me to some place. He probably fed me for about 3 years until he left me alone in this run down shack. Of course I knew how to open a fridge and take something out of it. He made sure I did before abandoning me. I was left to my own devices for 11 years. (Sobbing) no one to love. No one to love me And no one to care for me. What did I do? What did I do to deserve this? Some one tell me please! I don't know if I can take this anymore! I did go to school though. I got my education and everything, so I'm not totally clueless. I didn't make any friends though... But I don't care. I'm fine without friends. I'm currently 16 years old and this is were my story begins...

(Bell Ring)
Jaylin- Hey, Kylee, right?
Kylee- Uhh... Me?
Jaylin- Oh come on, girl! You know I'm talking to you!
Kylee- uhh... Yeah. My name is Kylee...
Jaylin- My name is Jaylin.
Kylee- I'm sorry, but is this a prank?
Jaylin- Huh? No...
Kylee- Oh... How do you know my name?
Jaylin- Well, the teacher says your name and you say "Present" and you can kinda guess from there. You're so into your studies. How do you do it?
Kylee- Well I don't like it! Not at all, but there's kinda nothing to do when your home-- I mean... When your bored, so you just... Study.
Jaylin- Oh. Well I'm never bored because I have friends and I'm not a loner- like you!
Kylee- Yeah, whatever, Jaylin! Now if you don't mind, I have some studying to... do.
Jaylin- (Laugh) Kylee! I really like your personality! We should be friends!
Kylee- Sorry, buddy! Ya blew it!
Jaylin- Come on! Is it- Is it because girls think boys are crack heads and smelly?
Kylee- Ok. I did not know that until now...
Jaylin- Whoops...! Oh well!
Kylee- ...
Jaylin- Hey how bout we meet again sometime? I'll give you my number.
Kylee- Will it make you go away?
Jaylin- Promise!
Kylee- Fine.
Jaylin- See ya around!
Kylee- Bye.

Ok, so some guy randomly came up to me and started talking to me. Why? I never talk to anyone! He said he like my personality... I never talk to anyone! This day is just so weird! And he wants to "meet again." Once again: Why?

(Next day)

(Bell Ring)
Jaylin- Hey, you!
Kylee- Hey, buddy...
Jaylin- Hey so I was wondering if you would like to study after school?
Kylee- There it is...
Jaylin- Huh?
Kylee- That's why you want to be friends. You need a plug. I may be homeless but I'm not stupid...
Jaylin- You're homeless...?
Kylee- (Gasp) I didn't mean to say that! Please don't tell anyone!
Jaylin- Holy shit... That's worrying, Ky! Tell me everything! Please I want to help!
Kylee- (Pause) Where is this coming from? I never said I needed help!
Jaylin- I insist. I know something in you wants-
Kylee- Just go away, okay? I don't want to study.
Jaylin- Come on, Ky! I want-
Kylee- No! You don't know what you're talking about. And don't call me "Ky" it's Kylee. Got it?
Jaylin- Got it! Hey where you going?
Kylee- To class! Why don't you go too?
Jaylin- I'll walk with you!
Kylee- No. Trust me, you don't want anything to do with me. You don't know me! Matter of fact, my personality is fucking garbage so good luck liking it now.
Jaylin- Ky- I mean, Kylee, you don't have to push me away. I know you are lonely. How many times have someone come up to you and want to be your friend?
Kylee- I don't care! Don't you get it? I don't need friends! I'm okay like this!
Jaylin- No your not.
Kylee- You don't even KNOW ME! You're making me miss class. I'm leaving.
Jaylin- I'm walking with you.
Kylee- Jaylin I'm not saying this again-
Jaylin- You don't have to. I am and I don't care what you say.
Kylee- Fuck this. (Walks away)
Jaylin- (Follows her)

Oops. Did I say that? The only person who know I'm homeless is that "MAN"... But now, Jaylin knows. I'm so humiliated! It just slipped out. I honestly didn't mean it. Why is he so clingy, anyways? I only met him yesterday. He doesn't even know my dark past. He can't like me.

(A month later)

Time passed, I got to know Jaylin, and now... we're sort of best friends. He still is my only friend by the way. I used to be miserable, sad, and friendless. Even though I used so say "I don't need any friends" and stuff, everything changed when I met him. I finally got to feel what it fells like to be... happy. It's a great feeling! I can't believe I ever tried to push him away! Im just so glad we got to work it out and stuff. Even though at school I have a friend, I still have to face the fact that I'm homeless. When I'm at school, I feel good! I can finally break free from the shadows and darkness of my life and live! But once school is over, I get sucked back in to my darkness that holds me and locked up in it. That's why I hate weekends. Two days of darkness and grief. I don't get it. Out of every one in the entire world, I had to be the one to get chosen. I really wish I had a mother to tell her about my day and my new, and only, friend. But I don't. And I have to live with it to the day I die...
