J. A. R.

Chapter 1

Axel

I was in class and some guy behind me kept kicking my chair. I was to shy to tell him to stop so I put up with it. When the bell rang I left the mobile classroom we were in and found myself getting dragged to a wall by none other than Samantha June. She beat me up and tortured me everyday. I hated her. She punched my in the face several times and then I heard a familiar voice. Jimmy. He had come to my rescue yet again. He yanked her off me and pushed her against the wall. "You dare touch my sister again and you'll be dead." He said lowly but sternly. She looked slightly scared and ran over to her group sniggering. Jimmy helped me up off he ground, which I had fell on when she was yanked off of me. "Thank you...again." I said and looked down. "Let me see what she did." He said as he helped me up. "She didn't really get away with much." I said, turning my face away, hoping he would believe me. "Well, I want to check anyway." He said and turned my face towards him. "You got a black eye, kiddo." He said. I sighed. Then he patted me on the head. "See ya later, and if they hurt you I'll help, I'll stay near you okay?" He asked. "Yep." I nodded and the. He walked back to his group of friends. I sat alone on a slope of grass until the bell rang for the end of lunch. I had science next with a cool teacher so I was happy enough. We were watching a video on acids and alkali and the phone rang. My teacher called my name and told me to bring my backpack. I was told to go to the principal's office. I found this slightly worrying. Did Jimmy get into shit? I thought to myself. I reached the office and walked in. I saw Ryan sitting there crying. My eyes widened. "What happened!?" I asked a bit panicked. "M-mum and d-d-dad are...are..." He couldn't finish the sentence. "Your mother and father are gone, I'm so sorry." The principal explained. Ryan got up and wrapped his arms around me tightly. I just stand there shocked. "This is just a cruel joke!" I yelled. "I'm sorry but it's not." The principal said and my heart shattered. "We are j-just waiting f-fo-for Jimmy and th-then we are going home." Ryan said. Just after Jimmy bust threw the door. "What did I do now?" He asked casually. "Nothing this time, Master Heart." Jimmy like looked confused. "Then what happened?" He asked and then noticed us crying.

Jimmy

I realised something terrible must have happened since Axel and Ryan were hugging each other and crying. "Your mother and father have passed away." The principal said. My heart dropped. "N-No!" I yelled angrily. I turned around and kicked the wall.

Axel

Jimmy kicked the wall and I jumped. Ryan hugged me closer and brought me out of the room. He rubbed my cheek while whispering "it's okay, we'll be okay." To me as we waited for Jimmy. About 20 minutes later he came out looking mad and upset. I was a little scared of him since I saw what he can do to someone when he's angry. He looked at me with his piercing brown eyes. He looked like he was ready to flip several tables and if anyone was to annoy him more, he would stab them. We walked home, Ryan still holding me close. Jimmy didn't speak until he asked if we wanted food. I nodded and then I knew he knew that I was scared of him. "Axel? Come here." He said and kneeled down on one knee. I hesitated but walked over to him. He looked into my green eyes. "Don't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you or him," he pointed to Ryan, "please don't be scared. I'm just finding it hard to cope. I-" he starts crying, which I've never remember seeing him do before. He fell into my arms and hugged me. I hugged him back and he got up. He picked me up into his arms and carried me home. When we got home he sat on the couch, with me in his arms. He hugged me as his tears fell. Ryan called his girlfriend after we knew school was out and he said that she was going to come over and help out. I liked her. She was very nice to me. I didn't really remember her name. The phone rang and I picked it up. I familiar voice rang threw my ears. A voice I knew far too well. My idol's voice. Billie Joe Armstrong.
