My New Life With Magcon

4/23/16

"You little brat. Nobody cares about you and nobody ever will. It was a stupid mistake to adopt somebody like you." My mom said. I've officially had enough. It was time for me to take a stand. "If you don't want me here, fine! I'll leave!" I exclaimed, as I immediately rushed out of the door. The air was cold against my face but I needed to get out of here. I looked around this beat up neighborhood and decided to run totally out of the area. I got out of that neighborhood and took a turn towards the park. "Get back here before I beat you until you turn purple" I heard my angry mom yell behind me. I didn't respond, I just ran. I ran past multiple homeless people, none of them under 30. I ran past all the grossness of my town until I hit the park. This part was a little bit nicer. I sat down on the bench and wondered what would happen to me. I wondered what my life would now be like. I wondered if I totally screwed up leaving my home. I started to cry just thinking about all the terrible possibilities. I just stood sat there, crying. But then a boy around 21 came up to me. "Are you ok? What happened? What's your name?" He asked. "Who are you", I asked back curiously. "My name is Cameron, Cameron Dallas."I'm Emma", I said back shyly. There was a moment of silence before someone else walked to us. "Hey Cam what are you doing" asked another boy I've never seen before. "Aaron this is Emma" Cameron said. "Oh...hi," said Aaron. I waved back shyly, looking at the brown mulch on the ground. "So why were you crying?" Cameron asked. I hesitated a little bit too tell him but I decided it was for the best. "My mom abused me and I finally had enough", I said back. Tears started to roll down my cheeks, but I quickly wiped them off. "Well you can stay with us is you want," Cameron said. "Us?" I questioned. "Oh well there's kind of a lot of us," Aaron said. I looked at Aaron in confusion and he smiled. "Cameron and I, and a lot of other people are in a group called Magcon. You might not know us but we are technically "famous" , you could say. Aaron had what I thought was a brain fart but then he carried on. "There are 12 boys and 1 girl. We go on tour a lot." Aaron exclaimed. I took a breath before looking at Cameron. "Would you mind, if I, like, just for a little, stay with you guys? I totally understand if you guys aren't comfortable with that." I realized that I was talking way too much so I stopped. My eyes became watery because I had a feeling they would say no. "Of course, Emma. We would love for you to meet everyone." Cameron answered. I immediately felt overjoyed. A big smile came across my face. "Thank you, thank you!" I jumped up and down excitedly knowing I was going to get out of this terrible place.
