can I tell you a secret?

Paintings

Leo's Pov:

'Well my life is crap.' I thought while limping back to my room.

I opened my door, and walk over to my desk to grab bandages and ointment.

"Ow, ow,ow..." I wince as I roll up my sleeves and pants to show my newly made wounds.

As I began to wrap them, I could hear my so-called father return home from work.

No doubt soon beginning an argument with my mother.
(who gave me these wounds if you were wondering)

It had been their 3rd fight this week.

Well, the ones that were audible at least, and they were usually about me.

I decided to do my homework and try to drown out what they were saying.

I lie in my dark blue bed, and pick up my math book.

That is until I hear my mother call me in that sweet tone of hers.

"Leo! Get your a** down here now!"

I immediately jump out of bed and head downstairs, not wanting to make her anymore angry then she already was.

I met her and my father in the kitchen, as I notice him taking a beer from the fridge.

I thought it wouldn't be best to upset either one of them.

"Leo, what did I say about leaving your coloring crap on the table," she sighed, "God, sometimes I wish we never adopted you, your worthless."

Yeah, their not my real parents.

My real parents died in a car accident when I was a baby.

Now, I live with this awful pair, who only keep me here and let me go to school because they get paid to.

I quickly grabbed my supplies, and apologized.

"It won't happen again, I promise."

After saying this I quickly ran upstairs and went straight up to the attic. The one place they will never go.

I place my supplies down on the floor and take a breath.

I look around the room only lit by the light of the sun, and my flashlight. (just in case I want to come up here at night.)

I stare at my drawings all along the ceilings and walls.

I look at all the different shapes and colors, leaving myself with only them, and my thoughts.

Then, my eyes go to the one painting, I have been unable to finish quite yet.

It is my pride and joy.

It's of me standing on the beach, as the sun is going down. The sky has the colors of red, orange, and yellow, and a hint of pink.

The sun bright yellow reflecting off the water, making it look as though it was still completely there in the sky.

My eyes are closed and my head is tilted, as though I am waiting for a kiss.

My dream is to find someone to share this pictures with. Someone who could take me away from this place of endless pain.

Someone who will love me for me, whether this person is woman or man.
