Chapter 1
Hi, I'm Alex- Alex Langelle. And, this is the story of my life, I guess.
I am the average 14 year old. Well, besides being socially awkward, and uhm.. different. I don't have many friends. Actually, I don't have any. I am what people call the wallflower of our school. Our school; a piece of shit, and filled with douche-bags. Welcome to my living hell.
I walk up the stairs to the second floor of the school. I am 30 minutes late. As soon as I touch my lock, to open my locker I hear the beep before an announcement comes on the speakers. "Alex Langelle, please get to the office, now." Of course. They think I skipped again. When I get to the office, my father is there. His eyes are bloodshot, as if he were crying. "Alex." he says, his voice choppy. "Dad..?" I am confused, but then I snap to realization. "Where is mum?!" I ask, my heart pounding in my ears. "Alex, I am taking you home. We will talk at home, okay ?" He replys, not answering my question. "Is mum okay?! Dad !" I scream, tears forming in my eyes. "Alex." He pulls me out of the office, by my arm, outside. "She-she's go-gone." he stutters, beginning to cry. "The sickness took over, and she's gone." he sobs. "NO !" is all I can say, before I drop to the ground and cry my eyes out. My mother had Leukemia. A deadly cancer disease. The doctor said she would only live for about 1-2 years, when she was diagnosed. But, she lived up to this day. (about 4 years) I am interupted by my thoughts, by my father grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the car. I am filled up with too much grief to go back and get my backpack, or ask where we are going. I just hop in the car, and we start driving.
