The Mirage

Ryan Vs Joe AKA Evil Vs Good

Everyone in the room was quiet. I was still holding Joe's fist with my mind. My mom didn't even pay attention to Joe or his fist that stopped mid-way. She was looking at me. She was looking at me straight in the eyes.

I slowly stood up still focusing on his fist. Joe stopped trying to punch my mom and turned to me. He was in complete awe. After a few seconds past he came at me and picked me up. He started to yell.

"What did you just do?! Are you trying to kill me?! This boy isn't normal, he's some sort of demon!" He started to yell even louder. I could feel my anger to rise.

"Let go of me." I said very calmly. But he still wouldn't budge. His grip was getting tighter and tighter by the second. He was going to hurt me.

"We need to take him somewhere, He needs help and a good beating!" He said with anger in his eyes. He wasn't going to let me go.

"I said let go!" My eyes were like fire. After saying that he got launched and hit the wall. It was if someone was running and pushed him as hard as they could. Except, no one pushed him. I didn't even lay my hands on him. He hit the wall pretty hard since he was on the floor sitting with his head down and groaning in pain. I was done getting pushed around by him.

I was still burning with fury. I ran up to him and held him against the wall with the new found strength.

"Listen I don't want to hurt you more than I have to so, Just... Just pack your belongings and leave and never and I mean, NEVER come back" I said continuing to glare at him. I stepped away slowly. He slowly got up and went to his and my mother's room to pack all the important stuff he had. While walking towards the door I can hear him mumbling "To hell with this family" and slamming the door.

I stared at the floor, processing what just happened. How did I do that? How did I stop his fist from hitting my mom without even touching him? How did I throw him to the wall without even pushing him or touching him?

While I was questioning myself and what just happened. From the corner of my eye, I see my mom coming towards me. She pulls me into a hug. We both stood there hugging each other. Realizing the pain we went through to get here.

"I'm so sorry..I'm sorry.." She said hugging me tighter and crying on my shoulder

"It okay." It was silent. We were still standing and hugging. I started to think about all the stuff that happened again.

"Mom, am..am I normal..do I need help?"

After saying that we both hugged each other tightly. Now It was just us two, facing the world.

The next day, I got ready for school. I noticed there wasn't any smell of Bacon or eggs or anything. I went to my mom's room that was across from my room. I held the doorknob and opened it really slowly without her hearing. She was still asleep. Probably tired from what happened yesterday. I decided to let her sleep and just pour myself some Frosted Flakes. After I was done eating, I went to the garage to get my bike. I noticed Joe's car was not parked in the garage nor the sidewalk. I smiled. This was the start of probably something new.

During the bike ride I thought of everything that happened last night. About my mom, about joe and most importantly, the things I could do. The things I'm capable of. I started to realized something, Do I have powers?

I parked my bike behind the same trees like yesterday. Once I entered the building, I noticed Spike and a few of some other guys hanging around. When Spike saw me looking at him, he gave me a dirty look. I just smiled and waved. What? Someone has to be positive around here.
