Wings

Chapter 2

  After a while later everyone was up and moving. The kitchen was crowded, john was making eggs, then mike was making ... toast, or something looking like oatmeal. Throughout the whole morning john was being really nice to me, which was very and I mean very weird. He was always by me and bringing stuff to be. This morning was just really awkward. Later I dragged john out of the house to the porch. I shut the door and turned to him.

 '' Hey... um... Could you tell me why you were trying to come into my room.'' I asked. His eyes widen and his face turned pale.

 “Um... I- I ... nothing." he answered

 “Tell me”

 "I told you before nothing."

 "Really? Nothing?" I started to get angry at him.

 “Yes nothing!" his voice started to get louder

 “Why can’t you tell me? Because I don't think nothing is the real reason.”

  “Sam I told you nothing, okay. I'm going inside." I got really annoyed at him, I took off. I didn't want to be near him at all.

 “Oh come on Sam! Really? Stop acting like a seven year old!" he yelled.

 “SHUT UP!" I screamed, and then I took off at full speed going far away from him.  Once I looked back there I say john come after me, oh great! I folded in my wings and dropped into the woods. I found no trace of john. I ran farther into the woods so no one with find me. I finally stopped, I leaned up against a tree. I took out a wad of paper and a pencil out of my hair, and drew the scenery of the woods. Then I drew a girl with wings peeking out behind a tree.

 Apparently I guess I fell asleep, because it was pitch dark out. I let out a groan and got up. I didn't want to leave, I wanted to stay outside. As a kid I was never allowed outside, my parents thought I was a freak. They didn't want anyone to see me. Knowing that my parents didn't love me, I left. I was a pretty smart kid because I took a couple twenties from my father’s wallet and got a tent.  Up until I was 10 I lived alone in the woods. I would walk to the nearest gas station and grab three packs of gummy worms and some mints. One time I walked out behind the gas station to go back. I thought something was watching me. I turned around and saw a boy with brown hair and eyes. He walked out from behind the dumpster and in to the light. He was covered in huge dark burses and cuts. But there was something coming out of his back, as he got closer I saw he had wings. I was filled with joy.  There was someone like me ...with wings.

  The boy I met there was john. We have been friend ever since. Two years after I found john, mike found both of us and took us to live with him. When we showed him our wings he was amazed and thought they were beautiful. It was the first time I knew that someone would be there for me.

 Snapping back to reality, I got up and carved an "s" in the tree so I can come back again. I launched into the air, doing spirals, dives, drops; I did everything knowing that it would the last time I am going to be here up in the sky.
