The Boy Across the Street

I have been living on this street for about six years now and one day while throwing the football around with my friend Jeff  he threw it to far this time. ''Go get it Jerry!!!'' said Jeff I found the football that Jeff over threw it was across the street from my house. As i went to go pick it up I heard this irritating noise i looked up and it was a boy wiping the window, then i turned around and heard a faint noise in the distance it was Jeff telling me to hurry up. I looked up again and the boy was still there he seemed very sad and helpless, over the six years i have been living here i was told many stories about this house but i never belived none of them at 13 years old i felt like i was on the top of the world. As i hurried and pick up the football and went back to Jeff i was still was thinking about the boy and were the stories i heard true? ''why are you so qiuet Jerry you werent like this ten minutes ago'' said Jeff, ''you know the house across the street Jeff'' i said ''yes '' said Jeff '' well i saw a boy looking out the window'' i said '' There was a fire in that house couple years back before you moved in '' said Jeff ''what happened'' i asked with energy to know more '' there was a family wife,husband and son. The husband was very abusive to the son and the wife when he would drink, one night the husband was drinking and became abusive and he tied the boy up and the wife, went in the kitchen and took a lighter and paper and set it on fire, the fire quickly spread around the house, the husband quickly left the house leaving his son and wife tied up and unfortunantly the fire claimed there lives.'' said Jeff, '' what ever happened to the husband'' I asked '' two week later his body was found tied up and burned'' Jeff said '' was it the boy i saw Jeff''? i asked '' maybe'' said Jeff '' some people said they saw the boy looking out the window but no one ever belived them'' said Jeff. That night i was lying in my bed thinking '' should i go and check that house out tommorow or not '' i said to myself ...... to be continued
